chw42 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Why are the Reds allowing Simon to pitch against the Cubs? He's got a 38 ERA against them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan85 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) The Reds are such garbage. Now, they get to play Milwaukee for 3 and Atlanta for 3. More garbage to massacre and get in a circle jerk about. Sorry, I am just mad that I can't listen to any Chicago Sports radio for TV shows anymore. The Kool-Aid is extra sweet and starting to rot my teeth. I can't wait until we play them and kick their a$$.

You can thank teams like the Astros and Cubs for that. They are now stacked after deliberate rebuilds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmarComing25 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 11:10 AM) May want to check up on the Astros there bud. They'll obviously be better than they have been, but Keuchel's velocity loss is pretty concerning and Gomez just looks completely done. If Keuchel doesn't pitch like a #1 and Gomez continues to be horrible, the Astros are just a .500ish team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pettie4sox Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Astros are a 1 dimensional team. They all just try to bop. If they don't hit HR, they are doomed, plus their pitching is super suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is the blueprint isn't new. Teams have always tried it. It's just that it's usually small market teams that can't afford to pay to fill in the holes where the draft failed. Theo and the boys are successful because they did it with Boston and the cubs where they could have one of the highest payrolls in the league to compensate for the holes in teams which is pitching because pitching is more difficult to predict by their metrics.

If you're going to give away some of your money to help another person, why the f*** would you chooser some asshole who rushed a baseball field? I really don't have a problem that he rushed the field either, he can decide if spending the night in jail and the legal expense was worth it. Just pathetic that people can make a cause of this.

BaconOnAStick Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Why is it that when Jake Arrieta is accused of PED use by other players the media is more concerned with Arrieta blowing off those allegations than the fact those allegations were made in the first place. "Jake Arrieta says he's flattered by accusations of PED use" (http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/15388965/jake-arrieta-chicago-cubs-says-flattered-accusations-ped-use).... uhhhh burying the lede much ESPN? I think the bigger story here may that other players, who dont seem to hurl these accusatiosn around all willy nilly, think the reigning Cy Young award winner is on the juice.

There isn't much you can do but take reactions and talk about them. JA hasn't tested positive, nothing is linked to him, the only thing we have is his crazy results to go on and make accusations with.

The Giles trade made sense. The Astros has a lot of issues in the bullpen last year. What didn't make sense is how they used him this year...as a setup man instead of a closer. I don't know if that messed him up mentally or what, but he's been awful this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure if there is anything worth investigating, someone is investigating it Like who, the MLB? A couple of connections that make me pause, Boras and Theo. I see Dexter Fowler bulked up rather handsomely over the winter as well. The cubs story is great for baseball as it was in the late 90's. The MLB is not going to look into breaking it down nor is any media outlet that makes money off of MLB success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
