I admittedly have a very easy-going personality, but even if I didn't, I would have to think I would know there is a line that should not be crossed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted May 30, 2021 Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 Hopefully Cubs finish off sweep today. Need every win we can get. After today next 17 are Padres (2x), Giants, Cards, and Mets. Toughest stretch of the year on paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First 2 runs were unearned and the 4 run 6th came from 4 walks and 2 hits. Edited May 30, 2021 by IU Scott 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I see them for a series I see several good parts but for some reason they just never seem to add up. Maybe it's just as simple as bad pitching??

Right now they are down 3 starters in Votto, Moose and Senzel which shortens their lineup. The front office didn't do a thing to upgrade the roster from last year. They traded their closer in Inglesesias for about nothing. They let Archie Bradley go do that was their two best bullpen guys from last year.

Seeking6 Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 I'm not a Yankees guy but when the Cubs made the trade for Chapman and sent Gleyber Torres it obviously was a move that people will check back on over the years. Seems Yankee fans have turned on him....and his .264 average, 2 HR's,etc... Obviously things can change but at least we got the title. I don't think GT is going to be a Yankee much longer.

IU Scott Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) Don't understand managers. Watching the Reds and Phillies and the Reds up 11-1 in the bottom of the 8th. With two outs and no one on the Phillies manager makes a pitching change. Why in the world would there be a reason to make a switch there. Today the Reds have had to u likely heros today. Kyle Farmer- 3-4 HR,Double, single 5 RBI. Matt Schrock- 3-4 HR, Triple, Double 3 RBI Edited May 31, 2021 by IU Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 53 games in....and didn't think I would be typing your 1st place Chicago Cubs. Trade away a Cy Young pitcher in Darvish. Slash payroll.....I don't know but I'll keep saying what I said a few weeks ago. Anyone finishing behind this operation has some splaining to do to their fans.

The Rays have the best organization in baseball. Have now won 9 of last 10 at Yankee Stadium, while rest of league is 12-36 over the same period. In playoffs and World Series last year, they faced the Yanks and Dodgers, both with 4 times the payroll, beating the Yanks and taking 2 of 6 against the Dodgers. Their pitching is great and they don’t beat themselves 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not the length of the game that is the problem but the pace of it. There is just to much dead time in the game for people to keep their attention. Between all the walks and K's and pitching changes a lot of people won't watch the whole game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
