BigHurt3515 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ May 9, 2016 -> 07:38 PM) If Gonzalez has a solid outing, how much time does that buy him? Another start? I think he is your prototypical 5th starter on a team. I would stick with him until we find a better guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:39 PM) What a weird thing to criticize Hawk for. lol "the cubs are on offensive team". lmao. They are amazing in all facets. Go read the fangraphs article today or hell watch some of their games even better. He saying they are "an offensive" team is incredibly ignorant. I'm so sick of Hawk and I grew up on the guy and used to love him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 9, 2016 -> 07:31 PM) How does anyone ever get moved up in the lineup? On one hand you don't f*** with them if they're doing well. On the other if you suck you should be batting at the bottom. Moving guys who are slumping is one thing. Putting more pressure on a young guy who has struggled with the game for his first years is playing with fire. Move a guy like Lawrie or Jackson. Not Avi.

The trade deadline provided he doesn't completely fall apart like Danks. We have no one better (or ready).

chw42 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 QUOTE (fathom @ May 9, 2016 -> 07:39 PM) Hawk saying Cubs aren't a good defensive team might be one of the most inaccurate things he has ever said lol He's not wrong in the sense that not everybody on that team wows you defensively, but as a unit, they're pretty damn good.

But if he can't hit, and he's not really hitting, he shouldn't be playing so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his old brain, there's usually only two modes and that is "on and "off". There's no room for nuance or complexity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
