97 pitches, 6 runs, 90 degree day, back to back HR, 3 straight hits, 0 pitchers up in the pen.

Good f***ing riddance Samardzija.

Does Robin enjoy watching the Cubs hit home runs?

You would have to be awake to see it.

Now we have to come back again. Has to be demoralizing for the offense

Cubs fan literally just said: we put up 6 in 5 innings on your ace! Arrieta and Lester are true aces, your ace SUCKS!

Dear God...

You would have to be awake to see it.

 

 

True

Maybe Flowers ought to catch Jeff for a while.

Maybe Flowers ought to catch Jeff for a while.

Can't hurt.

Johnny Bench could catch and he would suck.

Lol this is Clayton Richard?!

And give credit where it is due...Johnny Danks has looked ....ugh it hurts to say...pretty good lately. His last 7 starts were better than just about anything Samardz has done all year, overall.

 

In the back of my mind, I see KW and Hahn telling each other "With this much struggling this year, Samardzija will be way easier to sign for 6-7 years in the off season!!"

Jeff Samardzija's numbers:

-- In July, 3-1, 2.27 ERA in 39 2/3 innings.

-- In August, 0-2, 13.18 ERA in 14 1/3 innings (in progress).

LaRoche down to .210

 

Can we just sit him

Adam sucks...go sit down old man

.211/10/37

 

Such a slasher line for a DH, signed for a source of power.

We can. Robin doesn't for some reason though. At least not for extended periods of time

At one point I was think Eric Johnson or Montas would be up as starters in 2016 (maybe Fullmer) and Danks would be gone. But, I wouldn't be sad to see Smard go and Danks stay and one of our rookies take a spot in the rotation.

Now Clayton Richard is going to shut us down lol

No answer 1-2-3 inning.

Montas is 100% not going to be ready. EJ ought to have been up this season so you've got to think he'll have a spot next season.

 

Fulmer, my guess is he'll be on the same track as Rodon and up early next year, but we'll see.

It isn't the first time he faded in the second half. This guy's career production is nowhere near his reputation.we have to sit through it this season, but the bright side is it probably saved us from having to sit through it for 5 more years.

So is any one else kinda worried if Shark keeps pitching like crap the rest of the year he ends up accepting the qualifying offer. With so many starting pitchers and alot of one's better then him hitting the market in the offseason, I can't see many teams throwing money at shark with the way he's been pitching.

AFAIK no player has ever accepted a QO since they started this format with the last CBA.

If Smarj would accept a QO you should do it.

And Zach Duke up in the bullpen. At least he isn't the 8th inning guy anymore?
