That day...but.

592 Win % leads NL. 18 games over 500. Leading all of baseball in comeback wins and leading the division by 3.5. 

Chili has the team knocking the cover off the ball now, Lots of days everyone has at least 1 hit ...even Heyward  is having a respectable season hitting .284. The offense has been carrying them so far, so they really need to get some starting pitching.

since posting this, the Cubs are 0-2 while being out scored 12-2 

you truly are the Kiss of Death 

[Angel Oracle]

Trade the Cubs someone for Chili, and fire Hinske.

Just scuffling right now..They had a rookie that had been relieving start that first game, and Hendricks who started yesterday, has had a rough season so far. Like I said, they need some pitching (and they will get some this week I'm sure)

126 OPS+. Real nice year for CJ. He's going to make some good money if he keeps that up for a couple more years

We'll probably sign him again when he gets good and old.

Eric Hosmer:

1st year of his 8-year, $144 million contract: .245/.310/.385, -0.8 fWAR.

Nice contract. We'll add him to the Jason Heyward pile. Sure glad we dodged those bullets.

[WeatherWonk]

Our season has basically been reduced to seeing if Mike Trout can stay above .300 and monitoring Albert's climb up the HR list. 

Oy veh.

Think about how many on here wanted both. And for really good reasons.

I laugh when the ONE guy Claude ever wanted to spend money on was Hosmer.

I completely understand what you’re saying. Hosmer in my opinion brings a fiery edge with him that will help motivate the rest of the team. He’s a gamer and he’s turning 28 years old this month which is a plus in my opinion. 

I would also try to get Cain and move Trout over to LF.

What happened to Claude??

LOL good of you to throw in 2 GGs while he was playing for the Cards 

also, you conveniently forgot to add that Chicago has paid him close to $70 million for an OPS .694

sorry, but you were lauding Chili Davis and the Cubs' offense. Since your post, they have scored 4 runs in 3 games.

Kiss of Death.

Hosmer is scuffling and having trouble seeing the ball coming out of the pitcher's hand in the San Diego sun. Once he gets rid of the flies in the ointment, he'll turn the page on this little slump.

He’s batted 2nd, 3rd or 4th every game he has played this year.  There sure are a lot of Mike Scioscia’s managing baseball teams.  

[arch stanton]

6 more walks for Chatwood today in 4 2/3

Don’t know the padres roster but I’m assuming he is probably their best option in those spots

it's not the managers fault.  it's in his contract that he can't hit below 4th.
