EBAY has so many tremendous late 90's McGwire shirts. #KingMac

So close to having the ultimate sports day for Pittsburghers, only for the Pirates-Rockies game to be postponed.

Can't say the pen doesn't desperately need a break after all of these extra inning games.

He's not a 5 on the Cubs or any other team. That's just idiotic.

The bait.

Don't take it.

I saw it was -400 this morning. That's insane for a baseball game.

At work so not watching the game. Are these hr distances legit?

Vogt 451 ft. Gose 472 ft.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Looks like a 5-5 10-game east coast road trip. I'll take it.

Heyward has been pretty meh at the plate to start the season.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Heyward has been pretty meh at the plate since the start his career.

Fify

Hard to make an argument for Stroman over Hendricks right now, IMO, aside from potential.

Or Lackey

What happened to Arrieta? He left the game.

What happened to Arrieta? He left the game.

He threw 92 pitches.

Like I said, Heyward isn't a number one guy and there's a good chance he never will be. In comparison, if he were on a top heavy White Sox lineup he would either be a platoon OF at best or a utility guy.

The Cards and Bucs will get better, but the Cubs will be stuck trying to out score teams or they will be a last place team

What happened to Arrieta? He left the game.

He had already thrown 92 pitches.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

He threw 92 pitches.

Wow that bad team made him throw that many in 5 innings doing so little? Still surprised he wasn't given one more inning. 92 isn't a ton.

Nice.

Seriously though, I thought Heyward would be a better offensive player when he was first coming up.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

The Cubs won't be a last place team. Milwaukee has that sewn up. Cubs are starting to feel unstoppable even without Schwarber.

It was a joke post.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

The products had shifted too far towards the reactants. Equilibrium needed to be reached.

Solid post GA.

I'm aware of that. Just waiting for the Cubs to pull a Cubs and not come through this year.

To be fair though when he came into the league it was basically a forgone conclusion that he would be mashing 50 dingers to start with, then breezing past 200 RBI on his way to the first 80HR season.

Do you believe the hype? Do you think he will be the next Pujols or 10x better?
I think it's likely he hits 50hrs this year and 200 rbis or is that a tad over board?

I think all he will do is turn up and someday hit 80 hr in a season. Allll the wayyy turntt up
