  1. Great game!
  2. JD, Moreland and Pearce are out. Beni sucks vs LHPs and has been slumping. He's the only "what if...?"
  3. My first live game I ever saw was Ernie Banks and the Cubs at Wrigley Field. (I lived in Milwaukee then.) I've always liked the Cubs. I don't need Kimbrel to like them more.
  4. I had hoped he'd at least be as good as 2018.
  5. We'll see. I don't think Beni on the bench was for rest.
  6. I'm happy we had Kimbrel, but he's gone now. I guess I just don't feel the love for ex Sox players that others seem to do. It's not like I hate Kimbrel or am not appreciative, but I don't see how him going to the Cubs makes me like him or the Cubs any more. I'm neutral to wherever he signed, except the Yanks. It might make it harder for us to win it all, if the Cubs make it to the WS, although it would be a good story line.
  7. Yes, tell me why he increases your liking of the Cubs. The Cubs and Pirates have always been my fave NL clubs, but getting Kimbrel does not move me in any direction, except maybe to think Theo is slipping.
  8. Ooops... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/06/nathan-eovaldi-suffers-setback.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook
  9. Kimbrel does nothing to make me root for the Cubs.
  10. Last I heard, Eovaldi is due back around the 15th, so we should just need 1 more start from a scrub. No more double headers for a while. We have June 20th off and then, if I'm reading the schedule right, 2 days off in a row on June 27th & 28th. Two days later, we have another day off, 5 games in a row and then the 4 day All Star break.
  11. Maybe one can give us something meaningful. Add one to Eovaldi's return, and we may get the boost we need.
  12. My optimism is being severely tested.
  13. Like I have been saying, the bottom of our order is not the problem. They've been among our hottest hitters- some for a long time, now.
  14. Getting picked off today was horrible! That being said, he's up to .631, now, after going 2 for 4 with a 2B.
  15. Sad game but expected with that line-up.
  16. How's the reality of your "singles" theory? We're batting .444 (4-9) with an OBP of .500, today, and we have 1 run scored.
  17. I thought I was in a Sox blog. My bad. (This is why I avoid game threads until near the end of games.) See you guys, later... after the win.
  18. Vaz 2nd, Chavis 4th, Nunez 5th and Travis 6th says it all. And, this is about as big a game you can have in early June. (That being said, our scrubs have been among our hottest hitters of late.)
  19. His results show him to be a 3rd starter, or at worst a solid #4. I think you overvalue opposing teams. #4s and #5s. I'll take ERod over 90% of the league's 4 starters and probably every team's #5 starter. He's about a middle of the pack 3rd starter...maybe low end. The Sox are 9-3 in his 12 starts this year and were 19-4 in his 23 starts last year. Yes, he's gotten better than average run support, but it can't be all luck. 2018-2019: 19-8 4.18 10.1 K/9 1.301 WHIP 107 ERA+
  20. That's two Beni sit-outs in the last 3 games. BTW, Beni is .667 vs LHPs (.647 career), and Snell is not your average lefty. I'm not defending the choice, but Beni has been in a funk, lately.
