caulfield12 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Let the celebrations begin. And just wait until Bryant lives up to 75% of his hype...the White Sox might never make the front page of the TRIB again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 03:10 AM) Cubs have won back to back games coming from behind now. Reds are gonna trade Aroldis, aren't they? That team has no pitching outside of Cueto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That team has no pitching outside of Cueto And seems they were smart to deal Latos when they did. Wonder if Cooper would consider returning Chapman to a starting role... Can you imagine Sale/Chapman/Rodon/Quintana/Samardzija? Of course, it couldn't happen this year...his arm would need to be stretched out again. The problem with Chapman is we just spent $48 million on Robertson, so adding him in the Marte/Thornton role would be prohibitively expensive with the payroll close to its limits or beyond already.

Southwest Sider Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 13, 2015 -> 09:30 PM) Sure did deadspin.com/jon-doesnt-have-the-yips-lester-airmails-throw-to-fir-1697629188 It looks like he didn't even try to make a good throw. It's hard to imagine a major league pitcher would be that terrible at simply throwing the ball the 1st base. Can he field bunts at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipps Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Remember how Garland was awful at throwing to first on bunts or soft grounders. It was really funny like he didnt know how to play the game of baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 02:44 PM) I am going up to Wrigley with the old lady tonight. What are the odds I am able to ignore the Sox score the whole time I am there? 0.0%. I'm pretty sure you won't be sitting in the outfield, and the Sox score will be on the big green CF scoreboard the entire time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 02:58 PM) But I know that... so I could consciously avoid it... right? Please... It might take some effort, but sure you can do it. Just avoid the bottom right corner of the scoreboard, that's where Chicago (AL) is always listed.

caulfield12 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Clayton Richard had a lot of problems throwing the ball (to a base) when they'd bunt on him or he'd field a comebacker as well, fwiw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of pitchers that have had that issue. I think the oddity here is nobody noticed this really until the opening game of this season.

How is even on a MLB roster, let alone pitching with a lead in the 8th??? And are the Cubs actually gonna keep David Ross around for 2 years to simply be Lester's personal catcher?? Probably the last person you want to see pinch in the 9th and face Chapman, he had no chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
