The Cubs are so awful.

I don't understand the Soto pick up either. He's decent but doesn't Texas already have a decent catcher? That makes no sense to me. Seems like a lateral move at best.

^^^That is possible TJ, hadn't thought of that.

Soto will be backing up Napoli I have to assume. So we got a backup catcher fuck yeah...nice job (unless what TJ said which did make a lot of sense).

Texas did NOT deal Olt for Dempster so I'm good with it. His ERA will increase in Texas for sure, but as long as he doesn't walk many hitters, he'll probably be ok.

They will probably have Soto catch for Dempster for his first few starts until Napoli gets used to him. Although with the Rangers offense they may just use Soto every time Demptster pitches. Would be giving up a decent hitter with Napoli but good pitching is needed more and Soto would make Dempster feel more comfortable.

Danks will be out for the year, making the Liriano acquisition that much more pivotal. Question marks around everyone in the rotation at this point.

Sale - stamina
Peavy - injury concerns
Humber - is he good enough?
Quantana - stamina
Liriano - form
Floyd - inconsistency

I was actually excited for the Garza,Dempster for Upton deal rumoored around...but we got two single A players..hopefully in the winter meetings,he can get a few players to keep the seats warm so to speak..

I am pretty sure Reed will be back..he usually is..Coleman should be nowhere near the mound..let alone a starter..guess we will just have to keep waiting...

Having a second catcher isn't exactly a bad thing. Nap can play first and DH as well to keep his bat in the line up while giving his knees a break.

Indeed, it's just the backup catcher we had wasn't that bad. I guess they're hoping Soto can improve at the plate and possibly replace Napoli. Soto is an upgrade defensively over Torreabla, so that's good. He might be better than Napoli too, who isn't that great defensively either.

And the best record in baseball after August 1st... The Cincinnati Reds :mark: X a billion

And if the Reds have a lead after 7 innings on your team...well I'm sorry about your damn luck. Broxton and Chapman are pretty damn good. :D:

Gosh damn Matt Holliday! Gosh damn! Watch out Croft..the Redbirds are comin for your Reds. We will do any thing neccessary to win the Central. Including getting into a dugout clearing brawl..oh wait..

Seven games is no big deal. We may not win the Central but we will get that Wildcard! Let's hope the Reds are smart and don't start saying the Cardinals are bad and that they are so much better. Didn't work out for the Brewers too well.

I'm looking forward to this Mike Olt feller. BASH BASH BASH! ... he might hit one to Dallas.

The Reds win again :D: that's 3 out of 4 from the Padres and best of all Chapman got a much needed day off. He might get a second day off tomorrow now that the Reds have Broxton. But the pesky Pirates of Pittsburgh are coming to town. It should be fun! :mark:
