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.

Woah, I was so used to your old avatar, it was weird to see a new one haha

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

Some idiot will pay Shark and regret it like SD does Shields.

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

Thank God for Nate Jones

Man, totally shorted the August ERA for Jeff Samardzija. Headed into this inning, was 13.82, not 13.18. #NobodySaidThereWouldBeMath

I've got to think he's dropped down to Ubaldo Jiminez money or lower with his performance this year.

 

Honestly some team might be able to get a bit of a bargain on him at something like $10m per year over a few years, esp. if they could get him back into a better strikeout groove next year.

The Cubs know all of Samardzija's tendencies. Why the f*** would Ventura start him against them? #FireVentura

Take a seat Jeff. He better not come out for the 7th.

I really hope that, that some idiot isn't the sox. With the way the trade deadline went down I could see them going shark value is down so we could get him cheaper

Why would you let him face the top of the order for a 4th time?

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...

 

 

Jokes on the Cubs fans because Shark isn't our ace

Nice AB Geo

good AB by Soto. Top of the line up needs to produce here

Dreaded leadoff walk. Make these f***ers pay.

Yeah, that was my point

Eaton has reached base in all 3 at-bats. His OBP is so much better than it was earlier this year

how is that not a balk

You are telling me Joe West didn't call a balk?!?!

 

That is a balk.

You are telling me Joe West didn't call a balk?!?!

lmao that's why

f*** off Joe West

So is that reviewable?

West is 3 feet away this is BS. Cubs another break. I have seen same play called a balk twice this year.

Fat f#ck West

So is that reviewable?

Eaton's doing a good job of battling
