    Don't really consider them a threat nevertheless, down go the Diamondbacks.

    Shota was good tonight, except for the pitch on which PCA made a great play, he was locating, had the splitter working as well. Still wouldn't start him in Milwaukee.
  3. gflore34
    About time, don't you think? In the recent weeks the opposition has gotten away with several meatballs.
  4. gflore34
    I didn't, initially I thought WTF is that guy and who cares that he's cheering? Upon closer look I realized horsefeathers, that's Caleb.
  5. gflore34
    Neither do I, very, very similar to last season, had a stretch of effectiveness and finishing up as a non-option.

    For the most part the Cubs season has been collection of local minima and maxima, were coming off a local minima for Boyd. One would think a local maxima is forthcoming for Boyd or, in, other words, Boyd should soon be positively regressing. I've no such hope for Shota.
  7. gflore34
    It's too bad Brown is done, most especially against the Brewers, they crush Shota. Can't do anything with Ben, particularly in Milwaukee -
  8. gflore34
    I don't think he's making the playoff roster, his last regular season appearance is his last as a Cub.
  9. gflore34
    Maybe someone has access to the data, it appeared he had the extra tick early gradually fading, at which point, he got shelled.
  10. gflore34
    I don't believe this matters when, as of late, the guy's been a gopher ball machine. As been stated when Shota' not getting that extra tick on the FB, the cornucopia of HR's is in order.
  11. gflore34
    Boyd' been lately okay, it's Shota that's the problem, he's a ticking bomb, it's not a matter of if but, when is he going throw multiple gopher balls. Until a playoff spot is clinched he's got to be on a short leash.
  12. gflore34
    That's a good catch, Craig' had enough and rightly so.
  13. gflore34
    I know the Cubs bullpen is terrible and all. However, both games the Brewers won misplays by the Cubs were the key elements.
  14. gflore34
    A scenario very similar to last season appears to be playing out with Shota. Starts out okay, has a stretch of looking pretty good, is effective, then, dissolves to un-pitchable. Well, un-pitchable in any game where winning is paramount.
  15. gflore34
    Really don't like Shota going tonight, Craig should have a quick hook, I'd pull him at the first hint of trouble. It's only a matter time before he gives up multiple 2 and 3 run bombs. It's got to suck as a manager to know your starter is so volatile and you can't trust him at all.
  16. gflore34
    Read it was cramps for Swift.
  17. gflore34
    Cubs will make the playoffs, wouldn't be surprised if the managed to get the WC #1 back. Phillies are way overdue for a regression.
  18. gflore34
    Wait a minute, Henderson doesn't throw 150 MPH? He's a locate the FB, get batters out with a change up type, like Kyle Hendricks with maybe a tick more on the FB?
  19. gflore34
    Definitely agree, Palencia, Zeferjahns, Cabrera they have the stuff to be dominate, one or more of them gets hot look out. It's not like we're hope/wishing on Shota to be effective, doesn't have the stuff, never will. As for the Brewers all their regular season success against replacement level pitching won't translate to squat in the playoffs. They're not going to be able to cobble together enough GB singles, misplayed GB's and FB's against quality pitching.
  20. gflore34
    With the Bears? Yes. I believe the Bears are not going to activate him regardless of his "health". Had he retired up front, it would have been better for everyone. We don't Gordon' side of the story, this is true. I have to think had he been working his ass to get healthy and still, having set backs. The narrative coming from the Bears would have been different.
  21. gflore34
    I was thinking in terms of not activating the window, not moving him to the 53 man roster thereby, him not playing in 2026. Which is the same effect as cutting him.
  22. gflore34
    They'll get in, Arizona is not going to pass the Cubs. They also have a replacement level staff with a far worse lineup. Just took a quick glance at Arizona' statistics, overall pitching WAR of 9.8 with 5.1 coming from a guy, Rodríguez, who is out pitching his underlying data.
  23. gflore34
    They can't even manage average pitching, an average staff probably wins one of the previous two games. It does not have to be like this, the Cubs have more than enough resources to manage, at least, an average pitching staff.
  24. gflore34
    I believe I see what the Bears are doing, financials aside, they've effectively cut Gordon by putting him on the PUP list. Apparently he cannot practice for the first two weeks and play in the first four games. This is the key part - after two weeks the Bears have a 21 day window to activate him and move him to the 53 man roster. If not activated within the 21 day window he'll not be able to play in 2026. Yeah, he's done as Bear, they didn't out right release him but, they did the next closet thing.
  25. gflore34
    Exactly and, there's no reason whatsoever, that guys with stuff to dominate - Palencia, Zerferjahns, Cabrera -can't get hot for a few weeks in the postseason. We've seen such things time and again, there's no law against some of these guys doing this for the Cubs.
