caulfield12 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 They didn’t acquire Cain and Yelich NOT to win now...they’re going to double down on pitching, somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Morrow back to the DL. Maybe it's not a good idea to sign relievers after they get pitched.to the.point of no return the previous October Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Have a feeling Cubs are gonna use Happ and more of their young position players to get a big time pitcher. I know there are rumors of DeGrom, and they started playing Bote in LF in the minors in case Happ is dealt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Cubs used not one, not two, but three position players to pitch today after going down big. Carpenter with 3 homers and 2 doubles. This all but guarantees the Cardinals score 3 runs total.in the doubleheader tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Go Cubs, Go! I guess 2-3 more years of disparity between the two respective teams and we might not even have a Cubs’ thread, unless Fathom still cares to maintain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one might go down as the Cubs getting the short end of the stick on a trade similar to Bell for Sosa, but makes it even worse for the Cubs is the inclusion of Cease. Hahn dealt Quintana right before he completely fell apart, and even though he was in the process of doing so last season, Q had enough of a track record of being a really good pitcher that Hahn could sell teams on that he just had a bad start to the season. All the meanwhile, Quintana has lost it and has gone from a solid #2 to a #4-5. They should be glad they aren't paying him that much, and I could see the Cubs just declining his option in 2020 if his performance continues to go south.

GreenSox Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Most of us knew deep down that Q just wasn't the same last year; getting a great deal for him, was the Sox big break in this rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first realized that he isn't the same guy today. I chalked his poor start this year up to crappy weather. Maybe he couldn't grip the ball all that well, etc. He's clearly not the borderline ace he was with the Sox from 2014-16. Just goes to show that Theo is not infallible, contrary to what most clowns that are fans of the Chicago National League Ballclub think.

They can bang with the best of them but it’s gonna be tough sledding against other teams top pitching.

Especially if this current version of Jon Lester sticks around Their pitching is only slightly better than the Brewers. Their lineup is what is going to put them over the top. All of their pitchers have big names, but they all suck now. Lester has been their best pitcher in terms of run prevention and his ERA is 3.89. Hendricks is next best at 4.02. Quintana at 4.28 and Hamels has a 4.38. Darvish, when he was pitching had a 4.95 ERA. Their pitching has been a joke, given how highly thought of they were to start the season. The issue is that Nobody in the NL race is much better. Whichever team comes out of the AL already has at least one pitcher better than anyone coming out of the NL with the exception of the Dodgers with a healthy Kershaw, and in 2018 I'd take Sale over him. The only team with pitchers I'd actually trust in the NL is the Nationals, and that is if Strasburg gets healthy, and they make the postseason. Scherzer is studly, I'm so glad he got the fuck out of the AL Central. Edited August 13, 2018 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Hamels looks like the best starter on the roster now. Good thing Texas basically gave him away for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
