2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

[johnnyredstorm]

Looking at stats again how the blue jays score 356 runs already this season to just be 4 games over 500 b??? Second closest is Texas and the Yanks with 289 and 287 respectively.

worst pitching staff in baseball

 

[dmxfury]

Pirates staff has been incredible so far

Yo johnnyredstorm when is my dude Dominic Smith's power gonna develop? I know he's 19, but I'd thought he'd have more than 6 homers in over 200 games. Looking more like James Loney than Ryan Howard in his prime.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

It's very worrisome. If he can't hit them in A ball he definitely won't in Citi Field. I really dont know what to make out of the batters we have in our farm.

 

[dmxfury]

Cubs 2 for 2 on challenges. Umps struggling


Votto is a professional hitter

 

[mr jordan04]

Marlins Man at the game

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

Did not know manny the gawd ramirez was on the cubs

 

[pacificnorsewst]

Welp. Buxton is a bust.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

seems like Buxton is a slow starter. feel like he started this year slow as well.

 

[jewbacca2]

If Buxton keeps swinging at pitches like those in that gif, he doesn't have a chance to hit MLB pitching

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Imagine if we had Stroman. The division would have been ours easy.

 

[d3si]

The winning run.

9 sec from first base to home :x

 

[pacificnorsewst]

Don't know where else to post this, so you'll have to hear me complain for a second because I'm mad at David sunflower seeds for putting that stupid ziplock pouch on its bags now. Ripping off the top corner used to be so easy. Now I rip through half the bag trying to do it unless I'm really careful about it, but who has time for that? Damn.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

 

[jewbacca2]

I haven't had seeds in so long

I absolutely had to have them every night when I was umpiring in college

 

[pacificnorsewst]

Am I right though? The hell is up with that? I might have to switch brands.

I'm gonna write them a letter. Maybe I'll get something free out of it.

@pgammo: Know GMs who think Kazmir goes to Houston:'Stros need him, they almost signed him before A's, he'd be home, no state income tax

Come home, Scott. Bring Goldy with you too

who'd yall trade for him... that would be bad

 

[johnnyredstorm]

what's the deal with Appel? he still have that 7 ERA?

Appel sucks. Has a 5 ERA and the rest of his numbers are terrible.

He is just way too hitable. Didn't like the pick at all when they made it. SMH.

I hope he can figure it out though

Edit: he's starting today.

@SeatPoacher: Mark Appel (@MAppel26) on the mound for the 2nd game of the @cchooks doubleheader. Appel is 3-1 with a 5.04 with 37 K and 21 BB in 50 IP.

Woooooooo!

 

[johnnyredstorm]

maybe Beane's guys can fix him

 

[GreenNGold89]

So now it's Trout and the Royals for the AL starters?

 

[jewbacca2]

maybe Beane's guys can fix him

I don't think Appel would be in a trade to get Kazmir

I honestly don't think it would take that much to get Kazmir due to his age and being a FA after this year.
