Cubs (Taillon) vs Dodgers (Sheehan): 4/24/26, 9:15pm

[Brandon Glick]

After a week of beating up on the NL East, the Cubs get to dance with the devil this weekend. Should be fun.

	SUN	MON	TUE	WED	THU	TOT
Ryan Rolison	0	0	0	0	0	0
Riley Martin	14	0	17	0	27	58
Javier Assad	0	0	0	0	7	7
Jacob Webb	21	0	7	0	11	39
Hoby Milner	0	26	0	20	25	71
Corbin Martin	11	18	0	12	0	41
Caleb Thielbar	16	0	6	0	9	31
Ben Brown	0	0	0	37	0	37

Thielbar's hammy injury got described as "tightness".  Obviously he's down today but curious if he's going to get IL'd.

Bullpen is shredded, honestly wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for Taillon to get knocked around (though not so much he can't go 5-6) and let Rolison just wear it and take the game to the house.

Yeah based on that chart above there isn't a single guy besides Rolison I'd feel totally comfortable using. Taillon for 4, Rolison for 3, Carson Kelly for 1, Rolison gets put out to pasture and we find another Rolison for the next time this happens.

Obviously it wasn't out of the pen, but Assad threw 82 pitches on Sunday, so he's probably down for the day since I'd imagine Wednesday or Thursday would have been a regular throw day for him and he'll need another day to recover.

Keep it going Cubs.

Perhaps for the first 3 innings of each game, but not afterwards since they need to beat the traffic.

Probably more like the middle 3 innings because that place is a damn nightmare to get into, even when capacity was significantly reduced because of Covid.

Apple TV game, ugh

[chibears55]

Need the bats tonight,  hopefully they can get 5 on the board and Taillon can give them 6 good ones.

Be nice to get this first one

I notice that Doug did not dispute anything PCA said.

Where I am sports betting apps show every single MLB game live, including those on streaming sites like Apple TV. All you need to have is some money in your account (which is why I always keep 50 cents in there lol). Nice convenient option for those blackout games.

The pirate streams don't care what network its on

[We Got The Whole 9]

Hate to play DA but Dodgers fans are extremely passionate about their team. There's definitely a lot of fans that leave the game early but theres no disputing that they are a loyal fanbase.

 

Kick their horsefeathers asses. We usually play them really hard and win the season series. Lets do that again.

Now do all players

He would be 3rd in OPS but lacks the ABs to qualify. When you look at all players instead of qualified players, he's 10th. 

That's amazing...also... he has been protected.   Two things can be true. 

Mo Baller crushes RHP. He has the potential to be a second chance at Schwarber.

horsefeathers insane. Hes an absolute beast.

[BKHoo]

Guys I was just thinking, what if Mo Baller was completely underrated as a prospect because of his shape and because of his defensive limitations?  The guy might become one of the best hitters in baseball.  Right now, he is probably a lock for ROY if these stats come close to holding up? 

[ILMindState]

Can we just get this kid some ozempic so we can stop talking about his weight and let him rake?

[Derwood]

Let him have his Tony Gwynn body and his Tony Gwynn batting average
