tx_rush Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 For Christ's sake the Cubs are painful to watch. It's the 13th inning. You have runners on first and second with one out. I'm failing to understand why Rick Renteria felt compelled to throw Jake Arrieta out there to bunt the runners over. We just gave them an out. He struck out. Which led to Bonifacio striking out. So that was an enormous wasted opportunity. Onward to the 15th For Christ's sake the Cubs are painful to watch. It's the 13th inning. You have runners on first and second with one out.

Total offensive cipher. Yeah, I was in a hurry yesterday and browsed an article on him. Some record tying errrorless innnng streak. Doesn't hurt to sure up the defense when some one goes down. He's hot garbage. If you use him as a late-inning defensive replacement, you'll get value. Otherwise, he won't give you much. Very bad offensively. I hit a homerun off Darwin Barney in high school! I guess its not much of an accomplishment since he is in the majors to play shortstop/2B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tx_rush Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Well, if the playoffs started today, the Pirates would be in! Started out 18-26. Liriano is finally pitching again. 8-3 since all star break even with Mccutchen slumping Id really like another starting pitcher You can have one. It will cost you though. Lester was a stud in the playoffs last year. How much would you pay to have a significantly better chance to make it to the Series? How much do you think the Cards would pay? Well, the pirates have as good of prospects to deal as anyone, however, we are pretty stingy. The last 2 years we made deals at the deadline, but were not big time. I think we could make the playoffs with our current roster, but I dont see us going very far without another stud pitcher.At this point, I could live with us dealing a couple top shelf prospects. The cards dont need starting pitching as much as we do, they really need a bat. The media guys around here say it's really between you guys and the Cards. The A's and Mariners, and even the Brewers, are on the periphery. You don't have room for Bell or Meadows on your roster. Open up your wallet. :) Cards just traded for Justin Masterson.....less competition for Lester? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revis and Browner are apparently looking phenomenal in camp so far.Hope they can carry your aging and increasingly inaccurate QB...well, actually no I don't. They might not, but word is that James White may.

troutman Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I heard yesterday that the Phillies & Dodgers are discussing a possible trade. Hamels for the Dodgers three top prospects. Sounds tempting but the three players are supposed to be really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
