Bump

Not sure which I'm more disappointed in not seeing - Arietta get the no-hitter or Szczur splattering himself on the outfield wall.

Why do you hate Szczur? Seems an odd person to have an opinion about.

Why do you assume he hates a player just because he wants to see him splattered?  Could be a perfectly lovely individual but I'm with Fork here.

I'm pretty ambivalent about Szczur. Not as ambivalent about people splattering.

Hendry drafted him. He's not one of our guys.

Starting to regret my Levi's Stadium ticket purchase for Sunday.  Is there any chance the Bears don't get embarrassed in this game?  1%?

If this is "The Cutler Game" we've all been waiting our entire lives for, they won't get embarrassed.

Realistically, what would "The Cutler Game" look like?

Are you talking about him just hitting on all cylinders and he goes say, 25-32 for 400+ and 5 TDs? Or are you talking about leading some perfect game winning drive that leaves no time on the clock?

Please elaborate.

Lots of smiles and high fives would be a good start.

Are one of you guys maury compson?

Fairly certain he is not one of us.

Kind of wish he was though.

Would be great to trade someone for him.

My wife is friends with Molly's husband. She's devastated. It's a relatively tight-knot community, and this hit a lot of people pretty hard.

As hard as a tree falling on someone?

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

But...Desipio and all.

My poor dead whore grandmother is crying in heaven now.

Probably not if she's in Arizona heaven. I bet that place is magical.

Hendry was fat, not likely a real effort guy at the exercise. Starlin is a Hendry guy. Theo's guys will hustle more I think.

I did a little research on my own and found out to my astonishment that Gleyber Torres is not a pitcher. So those K/BB rates check out.

Great thread. Would definitely read again!

He's been described as a "16 year old Soler". So hopefully now he's a 17 year old one.

You got Yeti's attention...

In other great news, 17 year old Gleyber Torres was promoted to Boise

World's Biggest Gleyber?

Cubs put Edlose on the 15-day DL with a "lat" injury.

Hope it's Lat Cancer and he's dying.

Hold it one fucking second man. First Apex has to rule whether that's a funny cancer or not.

Ehh...my dad died of cancer, I can make any cancer joke I want.

Same with being Jewish.

It's sharia rule or something.

Bryant hits his 40th. Recommended sound off unless you like that cutesy "bye bye bye bye baseball" crap.

See you later, it's a tater!

Best of all, his repertoire and delivery probably means he'll enjoy pretty robust health throughout his career.

This is my favorite Fork-pretends-to-be-a-scout post in quite some time.

If you read Fork's posts picturing a grown man petting several kitties, they all get even better.

If this kid can give us Randy Well's first two years as a #4 or #5 on a good team (with Arrieta and Lester #1 and 2, natch), I'd take that in a goddamn minute.

More like Randy Welp, AMIRITE?

Anyway, Hendricks' FIP (Look at me I read Grantland) is 3.30 and it's been low throughout his minor league career. I say he can pitch at this level. Until he can't.

Right. Even if he ERA rises over time to meet that FIP I'll take a mid-3 ERA any fifth day. Gimme more Kyle. Gimme more.

There's been no indication at any point in his career to indicate that he can't continue getting motherfuckers out. Even as he makes his second round through the NL, he's shown himself to be a smart enough pitcher to be able to adjust to hitters as they adjust to him.

He'll just be a Quality Start Machine for years.

Really?  After six starts?  In that case, I think it's time we declare this whole Arismendy Alcantara Experiment a bust.  .231/.299/.380, are you kidding me?  Release his ass.  Nice goin', Epstink.

Fork and Gally have packaged them up with Zagunis already. They won't be on the cubs much longer.
