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 control


the chants of “fire Shelton” rain down from the stands. It’s not his fault. Originally Posted by Charley3

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

Correct, super 2 doesn’t kick in until June. Skenes made it to the Majors faster than any pitcher in the last 35yrs. He’s 21yrs old. People who don’t know any better blame Nutting. Shelty does pull some head scratcher moves tho.

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.

Great!!!! Glad you enjoyed it. I bet Bob Nutting never entered your mind. There’s really not too many bad seats. I prefer the 3rd base side. 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.

... After "shitting inside their-own bed" on Sunday, our lads
WON a wild one against the Brewers! ... ...

... Hey Mates - the so-called "Good Teams" got 24 or 25 wins
if yer reading the standings-table... Our lads been getting soaked
for shitting-up things - and got 19 wins... So let's give 'em
some more time to surely straighten up! ...

Looks like Reynolds listened to me. 5/5 and a homer

After playing a flawless solid game for 6 innings including another magnificent relay throw by Cruz, which was a low flying missile, they then proceeded to shit the bed and allow the Brewers back into the game. They composed theirselves and won the game.
Telez should be released. Good outing by Keller. Bullpen sucked again. A win is a win. Yes Reynolds’s 5 for 5.

.... After a couple o' shitty results, the Lads got back on
the Winning side! ... Got to get the bats going again!

Skenes should be pitching again - Let's Keep Going! ...

Well, Big Daddy Skenes completely blew the Cubs away today. He’s as advertised. Let’s enjoy him while he’s here.

But I do happen to be a friendly fellow, and will continue
to hold the barrack for our lads - at least thru July.

... Let's go - for three in a row! ... ...

Falter pitched another gem. Umps stole the game. Win tomorrow
