  1. I don't expect any thing from Ballesteros, he'll be another automatic out. Maybe, he was called up instead of say, Cassie, in hopes that he'll offer something because of prior experience?
  2. If Jed makes a trade for a bullpen arm and Hodge can get on track does that finally signal the end for Pressly? He's got to be close to being shown the door, no?
  3. I agree, the Cubs certainly have needs, most especially, in pitching. As many believe Jed needs to make deals for at least 2 starting pitchers. Be they rentals, a controlled + a rental, etc. If that's done it certainly helps the Cubs from the all around perspective.
  4. Another Brewers propaganda piece? Last week' wasn't enough? We get it, the Brewers are superior, will never lose and Cubs can do nothing but lay in their wake. Is this North Side Baseball or Brewers South? Never mind the statistics above suggesting the Brewers are offensively flawed and by far not superior to the Cubs.
  5. Albeit small sample sizes, most of the Cubs lineup has big numbers vs. Priester.
  6. Was thinking along the same lines, why not go rentals? Kelly, Soroka, Castro will not cost any of the top prospects and improve the Cubs chances, seems like a win-win to me.
  7. I well aware of this point, doesn't mean I have to like when the Cubs need pitching right now, if possible, sooner. Guess I can look on the bright side and know the 2+ month wait for pitching help will end this week.
  8. More of a hot take on my part but, boy, I'm tired of waiting.
  9. 1984 will forever live in my memory, first time in my sports fandom life that the Cubs were relevant. Led by an MVP second baseman named Ryne Sandberg - 19 - 19 - 32 came so close to 20+3B, 20+SB, 20+HR. RIP Ryno.
  10. Is anyone really convinced that Hoyer, with extension in hand, is going to make a true attempt at improving this team? I'm not.
  11. Losing is one thing but, Hoyer continuing to do jack horsefeathers nothing is what's really pissing me off. Oh, no, he's waiting to last possible second when, theoretically the asking prices will go down. Yeah, that's it.
  12. Oh, come the horsefeathers on, it’s just one horsefeathers game.
  13. Honestly the Cubs should leave Pressly off the playoff roster, the dude is cooked.
  14. Didn't the Mets trade for Soto (LHP)? Or was he someone signed off the waiver wire?
  15. Unless he's working on something big, a rental, such as Soroka, could have been done by now.
  16. Assad is maybe, slight upgrade over Rea? Nothing significant, I agree, they're basically the same.
  17. Thought I read something about Taillon coming back within the next two weeks.
  18. I was really hoping one for a trade yesterday to open up the possibility of skipping Rea. If something happens today is skipping Rea still possible?
  19. Brewers took him out after 3.2 IP vs. the Mariners the other day, believe he, like Horton, is on an innings limit. Cubs need to grind out at bats, make him throw a lot of pitches.
  20. Yes, yesterday may have been the worst day of Busch' career, 4 K's to along with not picking Shaw' throw. It looked like a tough but, make-able chance.
  21. I believe the Cubs are catching the Brewers at the right time, they're regressing coming off that unconscious stretch they had. Time for the Cubs to put together a hot stretch of their own.
  22. While Busch, Seiya and Dansby combined for an 0fer and 10 K's, the Cubs didn't walk anyone. And drew 6 walks themselves which was key to winning the game.
  23. Game shouldn't have been so close nevertheless, Cubs win. Tomorrow facing Misiorowski I'd like to see the Cubs grind out some at bats, he's had control problems in the past. So far his control has been very good, so try to up the pitch count and make it an early evening for Misiorowski.
  24. Yep, Counsell has got to move him back down, maybe, put Happ back in the lead off spot? Happ appears to be coming out of his slump.
  25. Can Busch please do something here, why can't he take advantage of RF like Benintendi did?
