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

Depends on situations. He was on fire before that series, now he's not. But if it's close, late, I doubt he sees a pitch worth hitting. Same as any other slugger.

Nats had Ross throwing a gem and struggled to squeak out a win.
Cubs coming for another sweep I'd guess.

Ross is the one who blew the lead

Naw, not this time. We have bottom 3 of rotation, they have Scherzer, Gio and Strasburg lined up. No Jake or Lester. So Nats should fair well this series.

But we line up well for Pitt/StL the next two, and those will be key.

All the Cubs starters have better ERAs than the Nats heading in. And Gio has been dog **** lately. I just hope there aren't as many Cubs fans as there were in Atlanta this weekend. One of the worst things about being a transplant city is all of the other fans that live in town, majority of them from NY or Chicago.

Harp is trying to pull everything 600 feet. While he's still taking his walks, his approach from last year seems to have disappeared.

Ok, sure. We'll trade you Hendricks, Lackey and Hammel for Scherzer, Gio and Strasburg straight up, deal?

definitely no deal. I'm just saying at the moment those Cubs starters have been pitching better. Last couple of weeks have been rough for these three, Gio especially.

You've got enough, CP... Don't get greedy.

 

[CP1708]

just sayin. My man got ERA on his mind this series, I'd be happy to swap some pitchers with him.

And there's no such thing as "enough". You know that.

Gio is trash. Always will be.

 

[madj55]

Gio is trash. Always will be.

Unless he's pitching at Citi Field.

It's on.

Mad Max is on his A game early!

 

[madj55]

They are pitching to Harper It's on.

That's the difference between Harper this year and Harper last year. Last year he plugs the gap the other way with that pitch. This year he tries to pull it out of the park
