May 19, 20178 yr It's funny how the Reds pitching staff can so easily cure what ails a struggling baseball club. In other news, A 42-year old Wheaton man died after falling over a railing at Wrigley http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2017/05/18/aut...-wrigley-field/
May 19, 20178 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 19, 2017 -> 11:25 AM) It's funny how the Reds pitching staff can so easily cure what ails a struggling baseball club. In other news, A 42-year old Wheaton man died after falling over a railing at Wrigley http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2017/05/18/aut...-wrigley-field/ That is sad. I'm thinking he had to be trashed. If you fell, the first thing you would do is try to make sure you didn't land head first and there should be time to accomplish that. He apparently landed on his head.

I think you are right, it was 45 minutes after the game, so I'm sure it wasn't a crowded stairwell or something. If there has been some kind of altercation, you probably would have heard about it. Two young kids he had too.
May 19, 20178 yr You never know, freak accidents occur all the time. He could have tried to grab something that whipped him in the wrong position. Really sad for the family.
May 19, 20178 yr Butler threw 92 pitches in 3+ innings. Five walks but still an ERA of 2.00, yeah yeah SSS. Wow. Montgomery already on in the 4th.

May 20, 20178 yr QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ May 19, 2017 -> 02:00 PM) ? You quote that a starter is at 92 pitches in the 4th inning but shocked he is taken out? haha No, just that he only gave up two runs and managed to throw that many pitches with five walks. No MLB manager would allow four consecutive innings with that many pitches piling up.
May 25, 20178 yr Wade Davis just gave up his first two runs of the season but still hasn't blown the save. 5-4 Cubs with one out, Morse/Span/Panik due up. Now a still miniscule 1.02 ERA. Edited May 25, 20178 yr by caulfield12
May 25, 20178 yr Awful called 3rd...second game on the home stand that umps/replay gifted them the final out
May 25, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ May 24, 2017 -> 10:15 PM) Awful called 3rd...second game on the home stand that umps/replay gifted them the final out That was pretty bad, as soon as it that pitch broke down, the ump was calling it a strike no matter where it landed. It wasn't even that good of a framing job.
May 25, 20178 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 25, 2017 -> 02:59 PM) Was waiting for Fathom comments on Eddie Butler vs. Dylan Covey... "Sox should have traded for him." And given up international slot money? Exactly what we are trying to acquire now?
May 25, 20178 yr He currently has more walks than strikeouts, I'm not crying over missing out on him yet.
May 26, 20178 yr Schwarber is still going to be a monster IMO. Every eventual star player goes through some low points and he is going through his now. You still cant take away the monumental feat he accomplished by coming back last year to be a star in the WS. That doesnt just happen, that takes a special kind of player. I hate the Cubs with all that is within me but I can't get on Schwarber hate wagon.

Because I can't remember his name...

May 27, 20178 yr Did Spencer do it in the postseason? Him, Kevin Maas and asanchez stand out for going on absolute hitting tears, Mattingly in the mid to late 80's before injuries derailed him.
May 31, 20178 yr QUOTE (Tony @ May 31, 2017 -> 05:24 PM) Schwarber is all sorts of messed up. OVER-RATED, clap, clap, clappity, clap
May 31, 20178 yr QUOTE (Tony @ May 31, 2017 -> 05:24 PM) Schwarber is all sorts of messed up. Would they send him down to the minors this season if this keeps up?
June 1, 20178 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 31, 2017 -> 07:04 PM) Man this thread got shook. Lol...I wish we could pin J4L's post for all of eternity.
