For a little variety, sh*ts and giggles, about the Cubs turn the tables on the Brewers tonight? The Brewers' bullpen implodes and the Cubs take advantage to win.
-
This even too gloom and doom for me and, believe me, after the last two games I'm really down on the Cubs. After today the opposition is a step down, the Cubs will score plenty of runs probably enough to overcome a terrible bullpen and win 7-10 games.
-
I remember hearing something about, amongst other things, an injured pitcher will be unable to locate. Some even retain velocity but, can't locate any of their pitches. Maybe, the pitching scientists here can verify? Nevertheless, most of Palencia recent appearances what does he do? Ball one, ball two, always behind in the count.
-
I truly believe Palencia is cooked for this season, he's not 100% and continuing to deploy him in high leverage situations is an exercise in madness.
-
Agree, there's also, of course, the injury history, Wiggins has yet to show he can stay healthy. Why risk a potential injury and adding doubt going into 2027?
-
Right now the gap in pitching between the Brewers and Cubs appears large, is it not true, at the lower levels, Cubs system may soon pop with pitching? Iowa' a wash, don't really take any of arms there into account, various phases of re-habbing veterans, failed prospects, etc.

2026 Bears Week 1, @Carolina Sunday 1pm on FOX
gflore34 replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
I'm convinced people are stuck on the Bears can't have a franchise QB thing as well, regardless of how good Caleb is, they'll always be something "wrong". Racism is also in play, look how media fawns over JJ McCarthy having a good quarter in week one last year. Yet, with Caleb, despite leading the Bears to the division title and beating the Packers in the playoffs it's well, his completion percentage is low. -
Then who, there's no one else to turn to, have to hope one of these clowns can put together a few good outings. Before I was asking for a good week I know now that's impossible. I'm thinking a good outing - I believe this is doable.
-
Still, need to crack a book, it's the last 10 years and really, the last 5, also baseball tends to run in cycles,. Asserting the Brewers will continue owning (Cubs won the season series in 2025, lost by one game in the PS, that's pretty far from owning them) the Cubs is probably not going to happen. There's a better chance the Brewers will never eclipse the Cubs in playoff and WS appearances.

2026 Bears Week 1, @Carolina Sunday 1pm on FOX

Yeah, sure. I'm no longer giving Gordon the benefit of the doubt, don't know how this is any different from his "work" in the off season. -

Me too, media types are so hung up on completion pct. When Caleb gets it up to 63-65% he's going to dwarf whatever all those supposedly better QB's in his class are doing. He's more in sync with the receivers, receivers have an improved grasp of Ben Johnson' offense, Bears offense is going to greatly improve. -
Probably, it's also possible the Cubs will run his PC up, not that it matters all that much since the Brewers have an effective bullpen.
-
Really? Crack a book - Brewers - 4494-4651, .491 W-L%, 11 playoff appearances, 1 pennant Cubs - 11500-10901, .513 W-L%, 22 playoff appearances, 17 pennants, 3 WS Your Brewers are 17th all time in wins, the Cubs are third. Cubs 6th all time in W-L%, Brewers 17th.
-
I'll go in the same order although, it's close. Have little to no confidence the collection of walk happy clowns the Cubs call a bullpen will ever hold a lead again. Bryant' condition being degenerative does greatly narrow the chances he'll ever play again.
-
I am as well, I've had it with all the high leverage guys, they can't even manage to throw strikes let alone get guys out. Every horsefeathers at bat they spot the hitter 2 balls, constantly pitching from behind.
-
I'll add to the above - Or the Cubs' bullpen holds a lead? What happens first?
-
The odds are already stacked against him with a second tommy john, throw in his injury history. I don't think it over the edge negative to say his chances are very slim.
-
It'd be truly amazing if Horton ever throws a pitch for the Cubs again. Second Tommy John with his injury history?
-
All they need is someone to be effective for a week is this possible?
-
At this point what’s keeping Counsel or other teammates from tearing into the bullpen? They can’t get the big strikeout and repeatedly make matters worse by walking batters. It’s got to be extremely frustrating. Hell, put Thornton and Thielbar on waivers and go with Miller and Cabrera, something has to change.
-
Yes, an over reaction on my part. They're not top prospects but, may turn out to be solid players.
-
Not dipshit Shaw approach today are base runners getting on ahead of PCA. That MF'er and his I'm going to swing at anything and everything really pissed me off, it's the same horsefeathers horsefeathers he did in the playoffs.
-
In the end it's all a wash, had they managed to hold them to one run, the bullpen would have inevitably blown it.
-
Still would have taken my chances, even against the fearsome Jake Bauers.
-
Everyone horsefeathers one of them are terrible, even the worst of teams have one effective guy. If they or someone could manage one effective week the playoffs are done deal.
