Bummer.  Maybe Chatwood will turn it around next start!

Sometimes words arent even needed.

I dont have to even comment and you all know exactly what I have to say and that it's spot on.

Theo has given out 3 big contracts and 2/3 have been disappointments.

That's why we shouldnt touch Bryce Harper with a 10 foot pole and gloves on.

Darvish indicated he wants another MRI. Felt similar pain as his last rehab start. Stopped pitching as soon as he felt it.

Well, that probably means you can't realistically expect him to pitch again this season.

What a huge disappointment Darvish has been.

If after 2+ months on the DL, if Darvish cannot get past 1 inning without the pain returning, it seems highly unlikely he'll throw another pitch in the ML for the Cubs this year, doesn't it? 


Which would mean the Cubs will somehow have to get by with Hamels, Hendricks, Lester, Quintana and Montgomery (if he can come back soon, and if not, lord knows who).  I suppose the silver lining is that Lester was very good his last outing (after he said he'd figured out why he'd been doing so badly before) and Quintana was better today.  Still, the road looks pretty rocky going forward.

They might be forced to give Chatwood another couple of starts before rosters expand.

Would it be better to forfeit those games in order to save the bullpen?

Yeah, that probably seals the deal on Darvish pitching again this season. Might be time to consider some sort of waiver wire trade, if there’s anything out there - Chatwood starting again this year really shouldn’t be an option.

Maybe Trevor Clifton?

Pick up Colon or Harvey or Wheeler off waivers.   Is Lackey busy?

Deeg and I both were for signing Darvish and Chatwood.  On the plus side, we also were for Hamels.  And to totally acquit myself, it was Deeg who took full responsibility for Darvish.  Full.

Hey, that was a great contract if Darvish had a clean medical report when he signed it. He’s a pitcher, this **** does happen.  Obviously there’s something wrong in the elbow- if it means another TJS just do it and get it over with ASAP.


As for Chatwood, well - that’s obviously a disappointment. But fair to point out Cobb and Lynn have likewise been awful.

Wheeler would never get through waivers and the Mets turned down good offers for him already - they have no incentive to move him. As to Colon, why bother.

Harvey remains kind of interesting. The Reds thought they could get him through waivers. It’s not like he’s throwing lights out but the velocity is pretty good at least, and the last couple of starts have been pretty good.


Actually the more you think about Harvey the more sense he makes. What leverage do the Reds have? They get nothing if they don’t trade him. I don’t know if he’s passed through waivers already (before those two good starts) but if not, the Cubs and Brewers certainly have incentive to keep the other from getting him.
