Al Zarilla said:No faith in Hammel holding the lead, but hope to be wrong.
I remember him mostly from his A's days, when he had as bad of a stretch for a SP as I've seen.hbk72777 said:
Not an NL fan, is he that bad that they would consider PH in the 2nd inning?

This Montero is the guy for whom we wouldn't trade Michael Bowden, IIRC.normstalls said:
No...that is Jesus Montero. He is with Seattle.
His Rays may have feasted on Maddon when he was with the A's, 13 HR in 67.2 IP!nattysez said:Wow - Maddon is not messing around. Pulling Hammel after 3 IP plus one batter. He has a lot more faith in his pen than I do.

They said he was a late inning guy. Probably, but maybe Maddon goes for two with him.Ribeye said:is grimm a one inning guy? i don't know much about the cubs bullpen
Yes, they've embraced the lovable losers, we're long suffering but happy Cubbies fans.Al Zarilla said:But they're lovable. How does that fly in Chicago, vs. how it wouldn't in Bos, NY, Phi, etc? Midwest?
if they win it all, that celebration in CHI will be one for the agesAl Zarilla said:But they're lovable. How does that fly in Chicago, vs. how it wouldn't in Bos, NY, Phi, etc? Midwest?
Naturally, the move works for Captain Smarmy.Remagellan said:I really hope Grichuk goes deep here after this "genius" move.
If it were legal, I think I would punch Joe Maddon in the face until either his face or my fist disintegrated.
Lackey was a complete asshole pitching for the Angels, yet many RS fans (not me) forgot all about it when he helped win a WS for them.54thMA said:Naturally, the move works for Captain Smarmy.
Every move this dickhead has made this series has come up aces; just ask him.,
How any impartial fan can root for a team this douchenozzle manages is beyond my comprehension.
How soon Red Sox fans forget what a shithead he was as the Devil Rays manager.

His players always seem to be completely behind him, and he is smart, which some managers ain't. I'd put him up real close to, but behind Bochy.jon abbey said:I've always liked Maddon, he would be my first choice manager of anyone if I was a GM.

And yes: MLB certainly has discussed the possibility of robot umps at home plate. Doesn't feel like system is strong enough at this point.
Woah...
Well, yeah. They're idiots.54thMA said:Yes, they've embraced the lovable losers, we're long suffering but happy Cubbies fans.
Absolutely a midwestern thing.
