chw42 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 05:59 PM) Nationals rally to tie it...Ramos for a struggling veteran closer, one of the two dumbest trades in Twins' history, along with JJ Hardy to Balt for nothing of significance. And of course Almora is 6 for his first 16 with three doubles. Figures. Wow, Matt Capps huh? Totally forgot they traded Ramos for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan85 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 The Cubs success makes the White Sox completely irrelevant in this city. The White Sox look like a complete joke compared to them. I never, ever thought I would be able to say something like that, but the state of this organization is a complete joke compared to theirs at this time. And the future looks very bleak for us as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beautox Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 If Almora reaches his ceiling the cubs could be looking at a right handed Mark Kotsay in center field. Willson Contreras could be something very special as well if he puts it all together. The Cubs plethora of young talent is something out of this world, by this time next year they could conceivably[rightfully] be sporting an all-star team across the diamond. I think they re-sign Fowler and move Schwarber/Soler/Vogelbach as they still have McKinney and Happ among many others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the future looks very bleak for us as well. It took a while, but we saw it coming. The White Sox have been a joke since 2007, with 2008 as the one exception. My concern is with the Sox ineptitude. I'm happy for my Cubs fan friends.

LittleHurt05 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Arrieta has had a few Rich Harden-esque starts recently. Unhittable, only a run or two, but throwing so many pitches out of the zone that he can only last 5 or 6 innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingandalongonetoleft Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I was following along earlier, he was in a jam but walked away without giving anything up when Matt Rat bailed him out with a nice catch on deep fly to center by Wong. It feels like seeing him in a jam is a lot more common recently- he just manages to get out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 04:22 PM) Arrieta definitely isn't as sharp right now. He's on pace to walk more batters than he ever has...by far. He has 35 BBs right now. The most he has walked was 59 in 2011 in 119 innings. He's still nasty af but walking guys will cut his starts short like yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
