Anyone taking a look at the Cubs?

dj_destroyer · 05-12-12 11:23 AM

Public all over the shitty Brewers... Cubs are a great bounce-back team. Volstad is due for a solid outing here.

Might go for a couple stacks on the day dog. What are you boys thinking?

05-12-12 11:27 AM

A guy who hasn't won a start in almost a year is due for a solid outing?

Maybe I'll look stupid if the Cubs win, but Volstad is an absolute loser and betting on him is flat out insane until he shows he can win a game once in a while.

Volstad's teams are 6-19 in his last 25 starts. The guy just knows how to lose.

05-12-12 11:32 AM

have to agree with pickwinner here

neither team has a bullpen left after yesterday, and volstad is awful

brewers started 2011 with a 13-19 record and ended up winning the division, so maybe hold off on the "shitty" talk. solid pitching staff and decent enough lineup, even with all the injuries.

05-12-12 11:34 AM

and another stat you might not be aware of

the cubs have lost 9 straight games at miller park

that streak will end sometime, but with volstad? unlikely

05-12-12 11:37 AM

I do know one thing, if Volstad does beat the Brewers, Milwaukee Mike will NEVER hear the end of it from me.

public is definitely not all over the brewers here.

dj_destroyer · 05-12-12 11:42 AM

Volstad has been working hard this week on his stretch mechanics according to the Tribune... and the dude is fighting for his job. He may get hit a bit but he'll know how to deal with it.

Cubs bats are hot right now too. Marcum is gonna get thrashed. Bullpens are depleted. Over looks good but Cubs are the play I think.

public is usually on the cubs in this matchup, and public has been wrong 9 straight times in milwaukee. yet the cubs fans keep showing up, and wasting their gas and money to drive here and watch the cubs lose, and also probably betting on the cubs and losing that too

05-12-12 11:44 AM

dj i agree over looks like the play here

too much juice on the brewers and volstad is pretty unbettable at any price

bigjah15 · 05-12-12 11:45 AM

I'm on cubs +165. Streak ends today

05-12-12 11:45 AM

Marcum fares well against DeJesus and Castro.

Carseller4 · 05-12-12 11:46 AM

Over over over

05-12-12 11:46 AM

late money on the brewers pushing it to 66% brewers with reverse line movement

dj_destroyer · 05-12-12 11:52 AM

Maybe the OVER is the play.

That's what I was thinking. Would be a good action play. If it gets out of hand it could get veryout of hand with the short bullpens.

Fixed it.

I parlayed Cubs/O7.5

05-12-12 12:25 PM

Typical Volstad. Spotted a lead and then immediately coughs it up.

Guy is a piece of shit and shouldn't be starting.

Bad defense on the pickup.

Marcum retaliated and plunked Soriano. Never understand that. He just gave the Cubs his best result by getting on base. Not like he's a HR threat. Gift.

05-12-12 12:27 PM

I wish I wouldn't have bet anything on this game. These teams are both triple A caliber and think hitting lead off batters is smart to make a point.

What point? Braun is a fricken idiot for thinking he was beaned last night in a tie game in extra innings with nobody out and a runner on.

05-12-12 12:30 PM

I also never understood benefitting the other team by hitting the leadoff man

Hitting braun with a base open and ramirez up next makes sense

But i liked it since im on the over

He meant that marcum was making a point

If Brewers wanted to make a point, they'd hit LaHair or Castro.

No one gives a shit if you hit Soriano.

05-12-12 12:33 PM

Marcum is going to walk Volstad to set up another grand slam for DeJesus.

dj_destroyer · 05-12-12 12:34 PM

Marcum is in for a long one

So is Volstad though. He'll give up whatever the Cubs score and then a few extra. Looks like the over was the only play.

2nd that motion

Here is the test for Volstad... Pitching from the stretch 60 pitches deep.

Not a test with the 8-9 in the order coming up. Next inning is usually the inning Volstad gives up 3-4.

What did I say about Volstad and this inning? Volstad may be the most predictable pitcher in baseball.
