and having seen Mat Latos struggle to a 7.84 ERA over his four most recent starts

@Brozay this is what I was talking about rodon,latos the bullpen all been struggling the level of pitching they were performing at wasn't sustainable now you see them coming back down to earth which is why they've lost 4 of their last 5 series

If you're doing a fantasy league, get your hands on Aaron Nola.

(Edit) Yes his ERA is obvious, but he's likely to keep it going.

On the other hand, Gio Gonzalez probably won't.

Why doesnt joe maddon just pinch hit for Heyward. Dude is a complete bum at hitting and he knows it. It's not like dudes gonna lose his confidence when he doesn't even have it to begin with. Hes got one of the slowest and weakest swings I've ever seen. Cubs would have atleast 2 more wins right now if maddon pinch hit for him.

Latos regression should be balanced by Rodon pitching better. We've had alot of tough losses honestly, we've been in alot of these games. A tough stretch was expected

Hahn already confirmed he's going to aggressively look to add talent and make a push this season

Cuz you need his defense in the game maddon should drop him in the order tho

Baez's ab was more frustrating he always trying to swing for the fences when contact is all they needed in that situation

1st QTR Awards from ESPN

First-quarter awards for 2016: Best teams and more

ASSSStros with the most disappointing team:

"Most disappointing team: Houston Astros. The good news for the Astros is, at least they have a better run differential than the Phillies (minus-23). The bad news is, it took them just a month and a half to go from a trendy win-the-World-Series pick to being the last team in baseball to win two games in a row. Do they even want to know that of the 191 previous AL teams to lose at least 24 of their first 40 games in non-strike years, exactly two made the playoffs? Right. Didn't think so."
