I can't believe there are still people who think this team is going to just flip a switch and be good in September.

 

Quintana's first career extra base hit. :laughing Good stuff.

 

I don't think there are. There are people, like me, who want it to happen. But we all know it isn't.

 

There’s one right here.

We all figured, or at least I did, probable losses vs Cubbies LHP, then with the wind blowing in > very very high probability of losses first 2 games. Sunday’s game I’m hoping they can win, it’s probably a toss-up.

 

It’s not a light switch, it’s massive pitching added to make a dominant bullpen. A couple of position player additions to help too. This team can get hot in a hurry.

 

BC92, no. There's no massive help coming. If they had this huge cache of pitching weapons in reserve, do you really think they'd still be holding them back, with all the holes in this pitching staff?

 

They're done. Plain and simple.

 

Also, if you are already counting on "probable losses" to teams that you're chasing and already falling far behind, that's probably not a great sign that you're going to turn it around.

I guess I just feel like if there were options to get outs on the 40-man, they'd be up already.

 

I hope you're right, bit 5 games is a lot to make up in 27 games even getting massively hot. If it's a loss today, you have to go 20-8, and, even then, if the Cubs or Phillies play a shade over .500, you're done.

 

Admire the optimism, though!

Getting harder and harder to remember how good Cain was last season. He just flat out stinks this year. (offensively)
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

Can we start talking about tanking for a better draft slot? :laughing
