first for cusbs

Theo, please trade rizzo for starting pitching...gray and archer

>>76787792
He would never trade Rizzo

>>76787792
That will literally never happen. Rizzo and Theo are really close. They formed a relationship when Theo was in Boston because Jon Lester and Theo came to the hospital to support Rizzo when he was battling cancer.

never say never...babe ruth was traded and rizzo NO babe ruth

when does kyle get back...i dont like bulter or mike as starter

What happened to 'le-cannot-throw-to-first-base-man'?

who do the cubs sign when arrieta and lackey leave this winter?

not a lot to choose from. jake wants too much money but they might be able to get lackey for another year to soften the blow

>>76787922
the way eddie butler has pitched hes deserved to stick around for the 4 or 5 spot so they probably really only need one more. I wouldnt be shocked if they went out and got gray. There really isnt room for jiminez on the team right now

BEEEEEZ!!!

Go Cubs!

Come on Cubbies!

>>76788102
Welcome to the 500 Club. If only the Cubs would pull their heads out of their asses and start playing the fucking game like professionals then we might have a chance for a repeat, but not the way they're playing.

>>76787792
Hey I remember you from the start of the season. Still at it I see. Keep it up. Would be a bigger blunder than signing Soriano.

>Cubs can't get shit done when runners are on base.

Either the Cubs break out in hitting, or they shit the bed with the pitching. The Theo post champion year wild ride never ends.

That should have been a foul ball, not a HBP

call me crazy but I would have put butler out there again

>>76788558
he was in a thread a week ago, but then there haven't been many regulars lately, and the opposing fans don't seem to even give a fuck.

You're crazy if looked at the sort of balls he's been letting get hit. You had one ball that if it were 10 feet to the right, it would have been a home run, and multiple fly outs on the warning track. Butler's got bailed out by some godly defense by Baez, Contreras and Rizzo as well to keep the NEETs or the base or stopping them for being able to do any damage.

He might have a low pitch count, but he gave up 6 hits and keeping him in any longer after the NEET's batters already got a good look at his stuff, means they might be able to pull those foul balls and warning track outs just enough in the right direction to make them home runs.

>>76789222
>>76789222
we'll see

if he had survived another inning we wouldnt have to see strop

>>76789253
Strop and a late inning Butler give you the same odds for shitting the bed.

Also it looks like the unfucked version of Strop is pitching right now, so all is good.

If that were the case, Gonzalez would have been tossed after he barked at the ump multiple times over the strike zone instead of letting Maddox settle it diplomatically.

Review system stops shitty umping a second time against Baez.

javy he would be so good if he wasnt trying to hit the ball 500ft every fucking time

>Baez fielding tonight.
He's got 2 game highlight reel catches tonight and even got the NEET fans to give him props for that sliding catch.

They really need to revoke the rule where you throw your glove at the ball. Baez probably could have pulled that off.

Nothing gets past Baez, not even metaphors.

>>76789919
If this is a dream, the Cubs wouldn't just be a game above .500.

bullpen spaghetti gets it done

>>76790163
bc every time theyve brought out davis to pitch part of the 8th, he's been garbage in the 9th

>>76790163
Because Davis, like Chapman only likes to pitch the final inning, and because Daivs isn't a flighty fucker like Chapman, maddon isn't going to run him into the ground.
