With Paul Skenes finally being called up after some bizarre handwringing as to when to bring him up. Actually not bizarre because it certainly had something to do with contract controlFirst, Skenes not being called up til now had zero to do with contract control
the chants of “fire Shelton” rain down from the stands. It’s not his fault. Originally Posted by Charley3

He’s 21yrs old. People who don’t know any better blame Nutting. Shelty does pull some head scratcher moves tho.
Second, it most certainly was Shelton's fault. He can't manage his way out of a paper bag. It was malpractice on his part not to have someone warming up while the relievers had zero control of their pitches Originally Posted by berryberry
That was SO exciting! Can’t thank you enough for the date recommendation, Bambino. We were in sector 121, front row. It was like being on the field, between 3rd base and home plate.

Better view of the city IMHO. It’s a great way to pass time. That’s why it was called the National Passtime!
Well the almost won but that means they lost. Good thing the fan caught Cruz’s home run ball cause it may have not been a home run. Bats came alive some. But. Maybe I’ll see some northern lights tonight. Originally Posted by flows-with-waterThey have to DFA Tellez. He’s worthless. And Reynolds has to get his head out of his ass too.
Well, Big Daddy Skenes completely blew the Cubs away today. He’s as advertised. Let’s enjoy him while he’s here. Originally Posted by bambino... If I was a shithouse critic - I'd surely retort something
