Still young enough to maybe improve but also still young enough to maybe never improve. When I called him over-rated, I got quite a bit of blowback. Do fans want Hinch to keep hitting him in the 3 hole or maybe move him down in the lineup until (or if) he learns to make a bit more contact? That uppercut, long swing from the heels makes for a LOT of swings and misses. Sigh... Quote
IdahoBert Posted June 7 Posted June 7 I missed quite a bit of the game right now, but my only comment about Montero is that the Cubs are a really good hitting team and we shouldn’t be surprised that they’re hitting him when they couldn’t hit Skubal which no one can really hit. And Lee serves one up. Quote
IdahoBert Posted June 7 Posted June 7 At least we won the game we should’ve won the first one with the best hurler in baseball. Quote

IdahoBert Posted June 7 Posted June 7 This ball/strike thing is becoming a crisis of confidence in the integrity of the game. When there is so much information out there and the information can’t be suppressed MLB really has to act. Quote

Sports_Freak Posted June 7 Posted June 7 This 9th inning comeback walkoff is going to be epic. 😆 Quote

I feel pretty confident he'll fix it, although it may not be soon enough to satisfy us. well, no time like the present. Team has 6 Ks and 4 of them belong to Riley. Quote

lordstanley Posted June 7 Posted June 7 Total team loss today. Everything sucked. Just one game out of 162. 1 Quote
gehringer_2 Posted June 7 Posted June 7 This one probably didn't matter in the overall sweep of things, but Wenceel really needs to stop making bonehead plays on the bases. That's about his 3rd in a week. Quote
motownblues Posted June 7 Posted June 7 We need more professional hitters like Torres. Man knows how to handle a bat. Quote
romad1 Posted June 7 Posted June 7 it sucks to lose to a good team when we are scuffling along with our #3 and #4 (Olson and Jobe) starters on the shelf and our MVP caliber LF is having a broken couple days. Quote
