Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 8-25-26
gflore34 replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Back issues? If so, I don't have much faith he'll be able to be injury-free for a sustained period. -
Count on it, he's been terrible and the Diamondbacks have done very well vs. LHP. It's as close to a unwinnable game as there is for the Cubs.
-
Damn, winning yesterday would have secured, at least, a .500 road trip, now it's going to be 2-4. There's no way in the world the Cubs are going to win a Boyd start.
-
I don't think so, their collection of, save for a few, of cast-offs and oompa loompas only works because of their excellent pitching.
-
As a thought experiment - if the Brewers had suffered the Cubs' equivalence of pitching injuries how many games would they be under .500? Putting the Brewers' pitching WAR at the Cubs' level puts them in Mets, Astros, Royals, Giants territory so, they'd be around 10-12 games under .500?
-
Wonder if he's nearing the end, unlike single malt scotch, I don't believe he's going to improve with age.
-
But, of course, he was throwing harder vs. the Cubs! Well, it was more likely the their proximity to the WC, etc.
-
Watched the condensed game highlights, man, it would have be frustrating to watch the Cubs flail away in real time as did against Kelly last night. Kelly' literally got nothing (someone with access to his underlying peripherals can probably back this up) and Busch could not put the ball in play against him, holy horsefeathers that's frustrating. On the plus side, playing lacrosse last night, I did manage to catch a nice feed right in front of the goal and proceeded to not score. So there's that, shot hit the shaft of the goalie' stick otherwise, might have scored.
-
Gallen, who's on the IL, and Kelly have been really bad, weren't they a big part of 2023?
-
This horsefeathers game is over, I'm done. Such a great start completely ruined by Boyd.
-
I think it's runners scoring from 3B, less than 2 outs and from 2B, no outs.
-
horsefeathers Happ, without fail, when the opposition needs a K, he accommodates.
-
Yeah, I'm done with him, hopefully, come playoff time, the Cubs are as well.
-
Really don't want Boyd anywhere near the playoff roster.

Yeah, I get sore from traveling, but, I'm 62. Probably is more the Cubs being extra-super-duper cautious than it is on Conrad. Given the rash of injuries can't say I blame them. -
Not saying this will happen, in fact, since I'm saying it, I've probably jinxed it nevertheless, Jason correct me if I'm wrong. But isn't Cabrera exactly the type of pitcher who's stuff wouldn't seem to translate to such a poor regular season. Yet, somehow, finds it in the post season and dominates? Didn't we see a similar type of situation with Pfaadt and the Diamondbacks in 2023? It's why I'm not ready to write Cabrera off, the potential to dominate is there, something Imanaga or Boyd don't have and never will.
-
Gordon did post a short video of him doing some band work, guess he's been at the Bears facility the whole off season. If, while working hard to come back, he got injured, I'd like to think Ben wouldn't be ripping him a new one. The fact that Ben is ripping him a new one and sounds thoroughly disgusted tells me otherwise. Comparatively speaking if I where Kyler Gordon I'd be pretty horsefeathers embarrassed and inspired to prove people wrong. No surgery, "soft tissue" injury vs. major surgery and the dude who was under the knife makes it back before you do.
-
From Bears Wire less about two hours ago - ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that Monangai is believed to be "fine" and "initial tests showed his knee to be structurally sound, but the team will do an MRI to confirm." Even if he were to miss some time, as long as the line blocks, doesn't matter who's running the ball. Still, come the horsefeathers on with this constant stream of injuries BS.
-
Wow, given the injury, that's amazing for Trapilo. I have to think the plan to ease him in, no? I mean, could he be fully healed?
-
On to the White Sox to not hit more average to poor pitching.
-
About time took advantage of this guy's get me over BP FB.
-
Cabrera executes, and guess what, Baez doesn't have a chance, it's not that hard. Well, it is for Cabrera.
-
Threw one to Whetherholt in that last AB and made him look terrible, to bad he's allergic to consistency.
-
Really irritating to watch Dobbins, with less than overwhelming stuff get, away with several straight FB's down the middle of the plate.
-
Dobbins is exactly the mediocre type of pitcher whom the Cubs crush. This Cardinal lead won't last long.
