CJ needs to go to Iowa tonight. Surely there is a better pitcher than him. We were calling where his next pitch was going and I got them all right.
Mid May 2019: “Remember that 1-4 start last month when you were worried. Pssschhh.”
Well, we need some bats to show up as well as some pitches to the strike zone.I miss Jake, surly Big John and the Wizard of Bos.
now let's go kick some Brewer butt
Sure do...you can just see the “I’ve lived through a sell-off” misery on Rizzo’s face. The ability to not find pitching in this franchise is uncanny. Still , I will be faithfully watching. That said, in general 3rd time around the order Q is usually toast.that's how the Brewers roll, put up runs right before deploying Hader. Even if the bullpen was reliable...no one left, certainly no lefty. Duensing may be back sooner than any thought and I'd bet Iowa is getting CJ this week as much as they would like to wait for Morrow to be readyWell, we need some bats to show up as well as some pitches to the strike zone.
Fried sure had their number last night. Three up, three down. No hits, no runs, no walks. Perfect game until Zagunis got that hit off him. Do you think they will go after Kimbrel? They need something in the bullpen.Sure do...you can just see the “I’ve lived through a sell-off” misery on Rizzo’s face. The ability to not find pitching in this franchise is uncanny.

I dont think they are even remotely interested in Kimbrel (nor Kimbrel in any type of short term deal)Fried sure had their number last night. Three up, three down. No hits, no runs, no walks.

Like I read online, nobody can blame this on Happ.

I agree about CJ. He looks petrified out there on the mound. He's got something in his head and he can't shake it.CC pulled Woodruff with an 8 run lead, not even letting him get the W.
Glad Willy crushed that bomb after getting drilled in the ribs...Descalso didn’t like seeing it much either answering right away with his own dinger.
JHey was so due, glad he finally connected . CJ..just, man, he has the stuff. You can see it but his head just gets in the way. He looked petrified...was nice to see Javy walk him off the field. Speaking of Javy..WTH was up with Baker’s call on him? Cubs still paying for Zo’s roboump comments.
Warm weather on the horizon, some home cookin’ and finally getting a home game...could work wonders.

One question, though. What's with the day off after the first game of the series. So they travel to the next game late at night and play that next day (the same morning they arrive). I don't believe I have seen that before. And the Cubs have done it twice in one week. Who made that schedule?[/QUOTE
Are you looking for me to say Selig on the schedule?
Pittsburgh the same with get away games..moronic.
SunTrust Park us used for work parking during the week so affects day games. GENIOUS. I get the revenue but should not have moved the park to the burbs under those stipulations. Cubs have yet to touch Wrigley, can only imagine how good Monday is gonna feel. Seeing the defensive errors concern me tho. Would love to see KB hit off someone other than b rated relievers, too. Willy trying to tweak too much to shut up people like me complaining about his framing..now we're seeing catchers interference. My eyes are looking at scouting and pitching dev ...but that doesnt explain the proven guys who came over and tanked movement to Iowa can legally start 2mro...
Need KB to start hitting before that tho.....The good news is that they never quit. They had 5 runs in the last two innings when they were woefully behind.
Good. I think he's been discombobulated because he had to go back to his old delivery. Hopefully they will be able to work with him in AAA to get his new one to be legal.Correction:
CJ optioned today
