I don't think they will catch Boston though which means they will be a Wildcard. I don't know much about Soria, if that is all the Brewers get, it's all good.

It would be a good pickup, he would perform better in Chicago with the Defense we have. Up until this season he has been pretty solid every year in his career. His struggles this season probably has alot to do with the team he's on. The key is Rangers home park. His splits are like Chavez's for home and road. Way higher at home. Hopefully it will do that type of thing again that it is home ball park problems 2 hours ago, PrincetonTiger said: It is official Cole Hamels is now a Cub I dont think its still official.

2006Coltsbestever Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Heading into the last weekend of July, here are the NL Central Standings: 1. Cubs 60-42 2. Brewers 59-46 (2.5 back) 3. Pirates 53-51 (8 back) 4. Cardinals 51-51 (9 back) 5. Reds 45-58 (15.5 back) -Cubs currently have a 2.5 game lead over the Brewers going into the last weekend of July. They also have the best record in the National League and 5th best record in MLB. It's not all peaches though, Kris Bryant was just put on the 10 day DL for shoulder inflammation and Brandon Morrow is still on the DL for a back issue. Yu Darvish is still a mystery as well on when he will return or even if he will be Good when he does return? We are now what a call heading into the stretch run as we are about to close out July. Hard to believe 4 months of Baseball will have been played after the weekend ends. -The Cubs and their fans have set lofty goals. Goals as in trying to make the World Series 2 times in 3 years and to win that 2nd World Series. Not sure if the Cubs can duplicate the Playoff run they had in 2016 (assuming they do make the Playoffs) when they won the World Series? We will see how it plays out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Seems like the Cubs get these guys after they were good. First Darvish now Hamels...not sure that is going to be a difference maker. Hopefully they can get their stuff back for a late season run. (I know Hamel has good away splits but we aren't getting the Hamels of 3-4 years ago) Luckily it didn't cost much and after seeing Chatwood walk another half dozen I can't blame them.

They had our number last season in the NLCS but Kershaw isn't the same and they aren't near as dominant this season. They will have to go through the Cubs again IMO to get back to the WS so they are trying to load up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006Coltsbestever Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 -Looks like Cards beat us and the pesky Brewers won again. As of now the Brewers are only 1.5 back, Pirates are still 7 back and Cards still 8 back. We have pretty sizable leads on the Pirates and Cards but the darn Brewers won't go away. -Great news regarding Kris Bryant, he had an MRI on his shoulder and no structural damage was found. Cubs docs are finding ways to treat the shoulder. Bryant says he feels pretty good and the days off are helping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFLfan Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Can someone tell me what DRA stands for in baseball? This is the first time I have read it. Also, what is "FIP"? See below: Quote: This year, though, he’s (Wheeler's) been largely solid, making 19 starts and putting up a 4.33 ERA/3.69 FIP and a 3.68 DRA (Deserved Run Average). That mark would be a large improvement for the Milwaukee rotation, which DRA largely sees as getting lucky, with Junior Guerra getting slapped with a 5.27 DRA, Chase Anderson at 5.05, Jhoulys Chacin at 4.64 and Wade Miley at 5.93.

2006Coltsbestever Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 How we have the best record in the NL is amazing considering every starting Pitcher (except Lester) we have gives up a ton of runs in the 1st Inning. I have never seen nothing like it. Most teams Starting Pitchers are at least Great for 2 or 3 Innings - even the Bad one's LOL. Every game we fall way behind. If you are a Good Pitcher, how do you give up runs in the 1st Inning when you are fresh? Boooooooooooooooooooooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Hamels makes a difference because lately other than Lester our Starters have looked bad. I praise us and brag about us when we do good, when we do bad I am going to critical. That 1st Inning was a complete disaster. Brewers won again too, so they are now just a half game out of 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
