Thurs Funnies: It's easy to screw up against this Cubs lineup.

Well, it didn't eXACTly play out like this - Andrew Heaney got a nose bleed earlier in the game.
But you get what I mean.
The Cubs' lineup is just one big monster and if you screw up, it'll only get bigger.

Tonight we'll get to see John Lackey as a Cub for the first time.
For some reason, I feel like he's going to fit in just fine and not have any year one jitters.
Lets see what happens in Phoenix, shall we?

Go Cubs.

not to quibble over a very subjective list...but quibble I shall

Top 175 prospects under the age of 25 (10 Cubs on there).

  1. Trout (duh)
  2. Harper (double duh)
  3. Correa (I can see that)
  4. Machado (still with you)
  5. G. Cole (umm?)
  6. J. Fernandez (the reasoning putting him behind Cole makes some sense)
  7. N. Arenado (wait...)
  8. C. Seager (I suppose)
  9. M. Betts (fine)
  10. B. Buxton (I guess, not a promising start though)
  11. L. Giolito (hold on now)
  12. K. Bryant (okay, wtf?)

Alright, I'm being a homer but don't see how Bryant is behind Arenado in any way. 2 years younger, better numbers without playing in Coors. Arenado has the better glove, but that better glove was still worth 2 less in WAR last year per fangraphs.

Nope, nope, nope!

    I would say also in the bright side column is Busch looked pretty good overall at the plate. Alzolay…man, that hurts but most of the time he’s not giving up a homer to that guy. To me the worst was almonte hanging that pitch to Garcia. He hung another one to the next hitter too and got away with it on an 0-1.

    amaya blocked like 6-8 of smyly's pitches in the dirt very cleanly...not even an exaggeration, smyly threw a ton of pitches bouncing in tonight.

    neris looking like his old self was a relief (no pun), too.

    In looking for bright spots the defense was outstanding tonight. The “stars” are going to need to shine quite a bit brighter than they did tonight offensively though for this to be a successful season.

    Good baseball game. Hopefully Steele is pitching again in April (but I’m not counting on it).

    boo.

    smyly to face the 2/3/4 hitters with a man on 2nd in extras.

    this doesn't seem like a 8 million dollar managerial decision.

    i 100% agree with you, but i dunno how jed wants to run things.  the default is delay.  i would choose brown.

    like hellfrozeover says, could be smyly since he's technically fresh and stretched.

    anyway, on a pure talent basis....brown is the best option.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Use pitchers when you believe they're good. Don't plan their clock.

    I'm sorry. I'm simply anti-clock/contract management. Play guys when they show real MLB potential talent.

    If Brown hadn't been hurt with the Lat Strain he would've gotten the call, and not Wick.

    Give him a chance. 

    But Wesneski probably gets it

    alzolay...bro...

    wow.  what a blown call.  go cubs, i guess.
