Cubs @ Dbacks Series Thread

[187]

What a ****ing train wreck. This bullpen looks absolutely terrible as well.

Chris Ownigs is just simply not a major leaguer.

8 to 6 Cubs in fourth. D'Backs pitching staff is a disaster and embarrassment.

I thought that was fixed. God I hope it gets better fast.

 

[DWKB]

Maybe it's because I'm out of town and not exposed to the local market hype machine, but I'm not sure where all of these expectations are coming from. Predicting 95+ wins and such.

Aside from Grienke, we don't have any reliable SP, the BP was going to be an issue going into the season, and the offense was likely to regress in production from last years career years. That was BEFORE losing AJP for likely the season.

How funny will it be if Robbie Ray is the first Dbacks starter to get a win

He was good last year so.... not funny?

Robbie Ray should have been the 4th starter, De La Rosa should have been the guy sweating his job in the spring. Robby was substantially better, Ruby only had him on the win stat, which is the most useless metric to measure a pitcher's performance.

Schwarber done for year.. bummer for Cubs for sure!

Story homered AGAIN today too.

Good point, I agree.

This team is wound so tight they're ready to implode.
I'm sorry but this is on the manager. Its his job to have them loose and ready to play.

And batting Ahmed 9th is idiotic. Over the year he'll just get fewer at bats.

Horrible signing. Amazing the FO looked at him and saw a major league player.

His offense may even be worse than his defense. I've never seen a guy that big take such weak swings.

I know! How long do you this guy flounder out there just because you screwed up and gave him a huge contract?

On the other hand, Segura has proven to be a terrific signing!!

Guy looks like Ricky Henderson out there. I'm afraid he'll eventually turn back into Jean Segura though.

This lineup with AJ would be BOSS.

 

[82CardsGrad]

And Goldy being Goldy... The Dbacks have 6 hits - Segura has 3, Gokdy has 2 along with both RBI...

 

[82CardsGrad]

And Ahmed being Ahmed. Great play in the field!

Segura was great until the injury and loss of his child. I give the guy a break.

He is almost as good at SS as I once was.
