    In the remaining innings what'll happen first Happ getting a hit or Brujan kicking another ball?
  2. gflore34
    With Sunday' automatic loss, we're counting on Horton tomorrow? Just don't see it, I've no faith whatsoever that Horton' going to be remotely effective towards the Cubs winning tomorrow.
  3. gflore34
    I'd definitely put Shaw in the game right now Craig, game' lost, get Shaw some at bats.
  4. gflore34
    He hung nearly every splitter thrown tonight, you don't have to know it's coming when it's just hanging there to be hit. Even Ian Happ might hit such a pitch hard - I think.
  5. gflore34
    Hopefully, they'll win tomorrow, because, bullpen game + Brown on Sunday = blowout loss.
  6. gflore34
    I horsefeathers guarantee had that ball PCA been hit by a White Sox player tonight it would have been a 3 run HR.
  7. gflore34
    Who couldn't see that coming?
  8. gflore34
    Tucker with a rollover 4-3, I'm calling it.
  9. gflore34
    How does the umpire miss that? It's not even close.
  10. gflore34
    Imanaga getting crushed is one thing it happens sometimes. What PO's me is the continued non-competitive at bats by Tucker and Seiya, is getting tiresome and frustrating to watch.
  11. gflore34
    To be a slave to Houser' splits with Brujan is nonsense, I could see if the guy you're platooning with is a quality bat from the left side. Splits become immaterial when that left handed bat is completely woeful, you lose nothing by starting Shaw.
  12. gflore34
    I watched a few of his starts, location is the biggest piece for him. Seems he's got for few batters then loses it, I'd be delighted if the Cubs traded for him. As you said, the stuff is there and the Cubs are good at fixing, he's really not that far off from being a TOR type.
  13. gflore34
    For shits and giggles just checked on Cam Smith, over the last 5 games, 2-18, 7 K's, he's struggling a bit. Not trying to bash him or anything, appears to me, he can't catch up to FB's up in the zone. Didn't Taillon kind of expose this? Didn't Jameson K him to twice with high FB's?
  14. gflore34
    I believe Caleb' going to cook this season, he'll be significantly better. But, because we're Bears fans and can't have anything immediately good, it's going to be a super slow progression to Caleb and the offensive taking off. Which means a plethora of early negativity around Caleb and the Bears - great.
  15. gflore34
    Yes, regardless of a trade, I think we have to brace ourselves for one more bullpen game. Hopefully, the last bullpen game and the last appearance of Brown in such a role.
  16. gflore34
    Tucker' been in a slump for the better part of July, I have to think he's going to come out of it soon. Might as well start tonight.
  17. gflore34
    Meant you and I, strongly believe Soroka would cost less.
  18. gflore34
    Of Lugo or Soroka we prefer Soroka? I do believe the Cubs will solve a lot of his problems, there's also the boost he'll get in coming to a team in the playoff race.
  19. gflore34
    I hope not, Houser' a rental, I believe the "big" addition is going to come from the Ryan, Alcantara, Cabrera, Keller, Bradley, Soriano, I'll throw in Severino, pool of names.
  20. gflore34
    I really like your ideas, they need a decent cost controlled guy to pair up with Shota/Boyd, one whose is better than Rea. Anyone of those cost controlled guys would qualify, on the rentals give me Soroka or Lugo, I believe Soroka would cost less and may be a higher reward. That's not to take away anything from Lugo, he'd fine behind the trio of Shota/Boyd/cost controlled. Say such deals go down and Tallion returns, does it mean Rea to the pen and Horton effectively shut down?
  21. gflore34
    Too many examples of average to good teams getting into the playoffs and making it or winning the WS.
  22. gflore34
    Almost the same idea as the NCAA, get into the tournament anything can happen. Now, I know this idea isn't generally realistic for the lower seeds, maybe, 9/10/11-16 but, it certainly applies to seeds 1-8. Additionally, baseball is one of the sports where chance, luck, play a big role. If I'm not mistaken of the four major sports - baseball, basketball, football and hockey - chance/luck comes into the picture the most for baseball.
  23. gflore34
    As for today' and Monday' games even struggling offensive teams can hit bad pitching, that's exactly what that BS was terrible pitching by Cubs. You could see Rea wasn't going to be effective today, he kept missing up, didn't throw first pitch strikes those are recipes for disaster. I think Rea has one more effective start in him, seems like last year and this year are following similar patterns. A few good starts, get rocked, follow that up with an effective start or two, rinse repeat. I think he'll be out of the rotation by mid-August at the latest, maybe, by the second week of August at the earliest.
  24. gflore34
    Indeed, the Brewers are not better, when you consider some of data, they don't hit they ball hard - 27th, they hit a bunch of GB's and their bullpen isn't exactly shut down impregnable it's truly remarkable what they've been able to do. Yes, they have a great rotation but, the other facets aren't indicative of .700 team. I give them credit yet, what they've done is not sustainable. Those other Brewer teams had far more pop and offensive firepower compared to this team, the lack of fire power, the dependence on getting multiple hits to score is eventually going to take a toll on this team.
  25. gflore34
    I didn't say for the remainder of the season but, there's a cold streak coming, hopefully, the Cubs will take advantage.
