Tonight Rizzo gets 2 run HR off him.


Perhaps you missed the fact that Liriano left the game with an injury.

I'm not say, I'm just saying. :wink:

He got the HR in the 1st inning.

Liriano left in the 4th, probably afraid of facing Rizzo again

Are Rizzo and Castro the best young hitting duo and 3-4 combination in the NL?

Undoubtedly.

Undoubtedly.

And they're both hitting out of order. Might easily become the best 2-6 hitter combo in MLB history

The Cubs just need to bat Castro and Rizzo using ghost runners.

What a luxury it is to have a 1B who has more than one stroke. Homers, doubles, singles. When he was in a funk he still walked. A complete hitter. I think this far superior business is becoming flipped :shock:

Those OPS numbers are going to be suspiciously close after tonight.

Remember when Frank tried to tell us he had a .700 OPS and I was too lazy to fact check? That was amusing.

Interesting. If that's the case, using his criteria, Rizzo is an MVP candidate. :lol:

I don't think Abreu is even ROY front runner. Given Springer torrid pace he has to be in front.

Stones content has been crutal for the past 2 years. He finds one stat for the week, then repeats it on everyones show all week.

For 2 years he has also been ripping on Cleveland. According to Stone they just got lucky this year and this year they arent good. Well, guess what, they are in front of the Sox and they have young good players.

Maybe he can elighten us more about how Abreu came to America and his professionalsim rubbed off on Viciedo and thats why V was hitting .354. Now he can explain why he is hitting .254?

I am glad he is killing it, but dont evelaute the guy on a Hot streak. I would love to be wrong and see 2 months of this player.

At the same time, Rizzo gets a ton of credit because he is seeing pitches that he has made them throw to him. He has taken away some weak points and teams now need to scout him again.

Looking at the stats Abreu is the obvious leader over Springer. It's silly to suggest otherwise. We'll see if that changes.

Rizzo looks awesome lately. It'll be cool if him and Abreu both keep it up. I think either one has a chance of looking way better than the other one.

I really can't stand Stone's analysis of starting pitching. If an inning is kept alive after an error he completely absolves the SP of whatever happens from that point on. He could allow 3 HRs but as long as it says 1 or 0 ER in their line at the end of the night it was a brilliant outing according to him.

You know he won a Cy Young, so you cant question anything he says

fair enough but he has had both hot and cold streaks this year. These stats are for the entire season, so it already factored in peaks and valleys.

Have either you heard about this guy 9-1 2.02 ERA 92K in 84 IP.... pithches for this unknown team that used to be called The Highlanders and he has the East coast bias votes locked up..... I think his name is Tanaka...

Talk about a one year wonder ala Brady Anderson ...take out his Cy Young season 25-7 and his career record is a very "losing pitcher John Danks" like 82- 86

Ok, yeah. I was just referring to him and springer. Tanaka should be the frontrunner.

Aside from the obvious its really nice to watch a player who consistently works counts and gets on base. That type of player has been largely absent from the Cubs for the most part in recent times. Valbuena as well, to a certain extent quite naturally

You are right. I thought springer had much less ABs but they're about equal.
