LittleHurt05 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) 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, 2017 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't even that good of a framing job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Cubs back in a first place tie with Babe Schwarber and Arrieta still scuffling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that guy from the Yankees from like 15 years ago who went off during the playoffs from out of nowhere. Because I can't remember his name...

caulfield12 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 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.
