Kolek planning to go pro
Someone here mentioned that they give Hader at least two days off when throwing more than an inning. That would make him out for the rest of the series. I would have tried to get another inning out of Guerra, then gone to Hader so he would be available Wednesday.
Just checked - hasn't gone past 6. Hard to blame Counsell for that.
Counsel was trying to win this game. He played it like it was a playoff game (might not be to far from the truth from a Brewer perspective) It burned him in the end.On another note, Lester was right, the cubs are playing 2016 ball again.
managed it like a playoff game? haven’t watched much brewers baseball this year huh? not far from a playoff game for the brewers? wtf are cubs fans smoking? panic mode, playoff mode in june? ooooh noooo! not 0.5 games back in JUNE! what will the brewers do?!aren’t you the guy who proclaimed that the cubs “had the cardinals” when talking about the brewers not being a rival?funnny how lit up this place gets after a cubs win over a team that isn’t their rival...
"Lit up"? What a turd.
i’ve never seen scoop’s mlb thread this active after a cubs win over their only real rival in the nl central, that’s for sure.
I don’t like the Cubs odds tomorrow with Chatwood on the mound. This game worries me the most of the three.
Admittedly, I don't know if he has any options left but if he doesn't improve, I wonder if he'd get sent to Iowa to straighten things out once Darvish comes back. Montgomery could then take his spot in the rotation.
Chatwood has 56 walks in 58.1 IP and his WHIP is 1.78. He's walked 22 batters in his last 15.1 innings (4 starts). Despite that, his ERA is a very respectable 3.86 and the Cubs are 6-6 in his starts (3-1 in those BB-filled last 4). Unfortunately, that level of "success" can't be sust ainable over an entire season. Admittedly, I don't know if he has any options left but if he doesn't improve, I wonder if he'd get sent to Iowa to straighten things out once Darvish comes back. Montgomery could then take his spot in the rotation.
He coached it the same way he has done every game this year. Made all the right moves except running out to 2B to catch the throw from Cain in the 8th inning. Instead, Villar cost them the game.
Miguel Cabrera out for the season with a ruptured bicep tendon.
quiet tonight compared to last night.maybe cubs fans are still trying to figure out where lorenzo cain is on the basepaths.
Sadly, I think the sun is setting on Miggy's career.
I wish I could make a compelling argument to the contrary.
Sick burn. Anderson was good. Chatwood was not. Not much more to it than that. On the plus side, Chatwood only threw two walks, however, I think in that first inning he was getting too much of the plate trying to avoid a walking anyone.
There’s 180 million reasons we haven’t seen the last of Miggy. Not saying he’s going to be any good, but he’s gonna keep playing until that contract runs up. He has five years left!Pujols is in the same boat, but he only has three $30m seasons left, not five.For what it’s worth... Cabrera’s slash line this season is .299/.395/.448 but Pujols’ is only .252/.288/.415. That’s barely replacement level.
