OFFICIAL Chi Cubs Thread: Anyone can have a bad century/this is the year

[vols_are_champs]

The Cubs are predicted to lose in the NLCS this year.

 

[VOLNBAMA]

sorry about the loss (ok, not really, i hate the cubs), but it's at least nice to know the most dominant pitcher in the game lasted so long right?


What's that you say? 5 innings isn't very long? Oh, well my bad...

You think so too, well that's something we agree on.

 

[vols_are_champs]

Unless you are talking about Santana or Chamberlain, then I disagree. Who is it?

If that's your opinion then alright.

17 1/3 in 3 games isn't that impressive at all. It's definitely not dominating.

you need to get yourself a life and stop bothering this innocent person.

 

[volfanbill]

i'm pretty sure Rich Harden doesn't read anything written on the Nation.

 

[vols_are_champs]

If that's your opinion then alright.

Didn't say he was my number one choice.

 

[VOLNBAMA]

17 1/3 in 3 games isn't that impressive at all. It's definitely not dominating.

but 8 hits and 30 K is. Not to mention they're keeping him on a pitch count to keep him healthy.

whatever.......

 

[volfanbill]

but 8 hits and 30 K is. Not to mention they're keeping him on a pitch count to keep him healthy.

what good is he then?

"Hey, Bullpen, Harden's throwing tonight so that guarantees we'll need you for 3-4 innings tonight. Don't blow it."

 

[VOLNBAMA]

"Hey, Bullpen, Harden's throwing tonight so that guarantees we'll need you for 3-4 innings tonight. Don't blow it."

Pretty damn good when he's pitching.

 

[volfanbill]

Not to mention they're keeping him on a pitch count to keep him healthy.

so 96 pitches in his first game as a Cub, 112 in his second game and 87 yesterday? That's one weird pitch count.

Also, this story is very interesting for your theory:

Cubs starters to start carrying heavier load -- ChicagoSports.com

 

[vols_are_champs]

Be even better if he could finish the game

 

[volfanbill]

Pretty damn good when he's pitching.

throwing 87 pitches in 5 innings is anything but dominating.

he was on pitch count for one game. Just go away troll.

pretty sure proving your theories and ideas wrong doesn't make me a troll. It just shows how insane your opinion is.

You are my hero:worship:. Let's see if VOLNBAMA comes out with the :mf_surrender:

look you brought this argument back up, because you're looking to stir things up, which is exactly what a troll is. And at least i'm not scared to share my opinion unlike you, you try to act smart and tell me i don't know anything but you act like a douche all the time.

all i did was point out Harden only lasted 5 innings. That's not what I want out of my dominating starter. I want 7 innings on average. If knowing the facts and pointing them out to you gives off the impression that i'm trying to "act smart, but act like a douche all the time", well then I'm guilty as charged

alright then, this argument will not be rehashed.

 

[volfanbill]

alright then, this argument will not be rehashed.

nope.. I'll rehash it when he fails to go deep into the majority of his games this season and most definitely when he once again goes on the DL this season. I'll also rehash it when he starts giving up the long balls.

 

[vols_are_champs]

score one to volfanbill/troll.

 

[VOLNBAMA]

nope.. I'll rehash it when he fails to go deep into the majority of his games this season and most definitely when he once again goes on the DL this season. I'll also rehash it when he starts giving up the long balls.

i'll rehash when he strikes out over 10 people per game and i'll rehash it when he wins game 7 of the world series. BTW he's striking out over 41% of the people he's facing at Chicago he's just plain filthy.

 

[volfanbill]

well congratulations to him. Still doesn't change the fact that he can't last very long in ballgames.
