[THE_DEVIL]

Javy Baez now on pace for 324 HRs, 648 RBI in 2019.

 

[mstp1992]

I see Bryant still sucks.

Drove in a run in the 5th.

 

[mstp1992]

And, Schwarber just PH for Zagunis too.

And promptly struck out.

How are his splits?

 

[noleclone2]

Cubs face another lefty on Monday in Atlanta (Sean Newcomb). Let's see what happens then (without the DH).

And, Schwarber just PH for Zagunis too.

I’ll be there!!!

 

[CuttyDoesIt]

How are his splits?

Almost as good as Zagunis

 

[QChawks]

162-0

 

[N8dogg99]

Dammit, I wanted to see Maples. He didn't make the active roster, though.

 

[N8dogg99]

Why a day off after opening day?

 

[N8dogg99]

Nicccccce

 

[noleclone2]

Oh, don't worry. He'll hit a meaningless homer in the 8th inning.

You called it!

 

[SCHawkFan]

I see Bryant still sucks.

Oh, don't worry. He'll hit a meaningless homer in the 8th inning.

Ding, ding, ding.

 

[MuscoHawk]

Oh, don't worry. He'll hit a meaningless homer in the 8th inning.

 

[CuttyDoesIt]

Dammit, I wanted to see Maples. He didn't make the active roster, though.

Figured itll only take a couple of months for some of these veterans with no options left to fizzle out (brach, kintzler, maybe chatwood) and Maples and Webster to be up

 

[curt26]

Oh, don't worry. He'll hit a meaningless homer in the 8th inning.

 

[HawkRugged17]

Oh, don't worry. He'll hit a meaningless homer in the 8th inning.

Well done, sir.

Nico Hoerner will skip Myrtle Beach and go straight to Tennessee. Overall the farm system is down, but he is a high end prospect. We’ll see how he handles it.

A former college baseball coach told me after watching him in spring training that his bat is MLB ready now.

 

[dgordo]

I really like this lineup

 

[lucas80]

I know why Joe does it, but Zobrist at the top of the line up has as much foot speed as me these days.

 

[95Hawk]

Yu Darvish continues to be a fun investment.

 

[bdg8]

7 walks in 2 innings. Very Chatwoodesque

 

[Nothing_is_free]

Hopefully Theo doesn't have to trade him for a fifth starter.

 

[Nothing_is_free]

Darvish and Edwards were absolutely horrendous.

 

[mthawkeyes]

When CE's problem is consistency in locating pitches, how is screwing around with a funky pre-delivery routine a good idea?

 

[mthawkeyes]

Yu Darvish continues to be a fun investment.

That guy is broken. Wait until he pitches at home.

 

[Tiny Hands Trump]

When CE's problem is consistency in locating pitches, how is screwing around with a funky pre-delivery routine a good idea?

CE's problem is that he sucks and shouldn't be pitching.

 

[LuteHawk]

Yu Darvish threw 75 pitches in 2.2 innings. The 7
walks were off the charts. No pitching coach can
help him because he is mentally weak on the mound.
Theo has to take bullet for him coming to the Cubs.

 

[lucas80]

Darvish’s arm didn’t fall off tonight and the velocity was decent. I’ll freak out later on him.
The offense showed nice spark again.

 

[N8dogg99]

Hopefully Theo doesn't have to trade him for a fifth starter.

Who's him?

Edit: Nvm. Nico

[lucas80]

I had the volume off as I split screened with the Kentucky and auburn game, who was the guy that didn’t move?

 

[QChawks]

I hope we play the Rangers again this season

 

[lucas80]

I hope we play the Rangers again this season

Just had to say that, huh?

 

[QChawks]

Rangers are good. We have no chance

 

[lucas80]

Rangers are good. We have no chance

They should just concede and start packing for the flight to Atlanta.

 

[noleclone2]

Cubs have put up 26 runs this weekend. And are going to go 1-2. Pitching is off to a horrible start.

 

[cubsMDdmb]

I sure hope the Cubs figure out how to pitch. I got Cubs season tickets for the first time this year. I need a good Cubs team to help recoup some of my ticket costs.

 

[SoDakHawk]

WTF happened to the game ESPN? Walked out of the room for one second and it's gone.
