June 10, 20178 yr Hoffman has been quite impressive so far this year...can only hope Giolito follows that track as TJS recovery guy eventually. Both have that FB and huge curve strikeout package. Edited June 10, 20178 yr by caulfield12
June 10, 20178 yr On Monday it looked like everything was peachy, they were gonna run off a 10-2 stretch. Back under 500 now.
June 10, 20178 yr Rockies look fantastic. They may finally be ready to make some noise. Blackmon has been the Avi of the NL.
June 10, 20178 yr QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 10, 2017 -> 04:23 PM) Rockies look fantastic. They may finally be ready to make some noise. Blackmon has been the Avi of the NL. Their pitching is really impressive this year. Probably the best pitching staff they've ever had.
June 10, 20178 yr Sanzatela or whatever his name came out of nowhere fast...and CarGo hasn't come close to getting on one of his patented streaks. Can't imagine them with Dickerson going the way he is for the Rays, too.

June 11, 20178 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 11, 2017 -> 03:12 PM) Arrieta can forget that long term contract extension... He won't get the 7 year contract he wanted, but if Samardzija can get 5/90 after the year he had with us someone will give him a nice payday.
June 11, 20178 yr Russell and Schwarber go back to back. The two players struggling most, and everyone has heard about Russell's off-field issues.
June 13, 20178 yr What a zany genius Maddon is! Batting Rizzo leadoff = immediate HR. /green edit: Ooh, bases loaded walk as well. Edited June 14, 20178 yr by Swingandalongonetoleft
June 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 06:13 PM) What a zany genius Maddon is! Batting Rizzo leadoff = immediate HR. /green edit: Ooh, bases loaded walk as well. The team is hitting so poorly, JM can't really do anything wrong. If they were all hitting, I would do some deeper analytics (bat Bryant like 4th or 5th, Rizzo 3rd or 4th) but their best power guys are their best OBP guys.
June 14, 20178 yr Happ now with 7 homers, 218 average but 800+ ops. Schwarber still mired under Mendoza Line at .171
June 15, 20178 yr QUOTE (Tony @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 02:00 AM) This used to be a fathom owned thread. At one game under .500, where you at???? Last year zapped so much of my Cubs obsession

June 15, 20178 yr What is happening this season with the Cubs is pretty much what I expected to happen last year to them and vice versa. Part of development is going through serious struggles and periods of over coming doubt. Every damn thing went right for them last year. Every single thing. They skipped the development periods but it finally caught up with them.
June 16, 20178 yr Cubs selling 2016 limited edition "ivy leaves" from outfield wall for $200 a pop...will generate $400k in additional revenue. https://sports.yahoo.com/cubs-selling-wrigl...-234257914.html
June 16, 20178 yr Can we sell pieces of the jersey Sale already cut up to generate additional $40k revenue?
June 16, 20178 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 07:26 PM) Happ now with 7 homers, 218 average but 800+ ops. Schwarber still mired under Mendoza Line at .171 Should have traded Schwarber once it became clear he couldn't field.
June 16, 20178 yr From the few games I've watched Happ looks pretty terrible in the field as well. He just looks so awkward out there.

June 20, 20178 yr Rizzo with an incredibly dirty collision with Hedges. I'm sure the media won't criticize him for it and Maddon will make a joke about Hedges being hurt
