BigRedBuster Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Wrigley's relieve it or not: Chapman to Cubs? I would love to have Chapman. But, I really hope Beltran is involved in this. That would be one hell of a sweet deal. Done deal!!!! Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Hendricks approaching record despite soft-tossing We know it's recently been a bit of a rough patch for the Cubs' rotation. Over the past 30 days, John Lackey has a 5.14 ERA, and we point that out because it's the lowest among the quartet of himself, Jake Arrieta (6.14), Jon Lester (7.23) and Jason Hammel (5.88). Obviously, a great deal of attention has been focused on that issue, as well as trades for relievers Aroldis Chapman and Mike Montgomery. Too much attention, perhaps. Have you noticed that while the rest of Chicago's rotation has been falling apart, Kyle Hendricks has been absolutely untouchable? It's not hyperbole, because it's true. Hendricks hasn't allowed an earned run in four July starts and a two-inning relief appearance, and he's allowed more than two earned runs just once in his past 11 starts, giving up three to Washington on June 13. On the season, he's got baseball's third-lowest ERA (2.27), behind Clayton Kershaw and Madison Bumgarner, ahead of Noah Syndergaard and Johnny Cueto. Quote Link to comment

Goes on to explain that it actually *was* hyperbole. Quote Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I always scratch my head at MLB scheduling. This year, the Cubs have 46 games left. 24% of those are with the Brewers. Why would you concentrate so many games at the end of the year with one team? Good for us...the Brewers suck. Quote Link to comment
