    Meant you and I, strongly believe Soroka would cost less.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

    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?

    Too many examples of average to good teams getting into the playoffs and making it or winning the WS.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I didn't say for the remainder of the season but, there's a cold streak coming, hopefully, the Cubs will take advantage.
  10. gflore34
    No need to let Lugo leave town, give a KC their choice of a few lottery tickets.
  11. gflore34
    I wouldn't say hammered, got an error by Crawford on a decently routine GB, then a HBP, then their specialties - seeing eye GB's. I don't care what the Brewers fans here say, that kind of nonsense is not sustainable and there's a regression coming.
  12. gflore34
    Despite what happens today, I believe the Cubs will pick up the game lost today over this weekend. Tucker and Seiya will start to heat up, to coincide with the up coming Brewers series.
  13. gflore34
    Me to, he was signed to be a long guy in the bullpen, definitely needs to be there soon. Think he'll have to make one more start, wouldn't be surprising if he's solid again in a Cubs' win.
  14. gflore34
    This game is OVER, as helpful as Rea has been, I'd still like to see him replaced when Tallion comes back and after Jed makes a deal.
  15. gflore34
    While he had an excellent at bat in last night' game leading to run, for the most part, of late, he's been terrible. A couple of days off will probably help.
  16. gflore34
    As stated above I don't think you trade Cassie for a rental. Ryan or Cabrera? I could get on board. Not Alcantara, I still believe that deal could get done without Cassie or Wiggins.
  17. gflore34
    You're probably correct about Happ being traded, I fully agree about Suzuki as well. I was just thinking if there's a way to avoid the massive early struggles when seen from PCA and Shaw hence, the phasing in of Cassie.
  18. gflore34
    To be safe they should shut him down for the rest of the season, just to be safe.
  19. gflore34
    Sign Tucker, go with Happ to start 2026, if he does his start the season in a slump thing, phase Cassie in, with the intent to make him the permanent LFer.
  20. gflore34
    Yeah, losing two to the Pirates who had just been swept by the White Sox.
  21. gflore34
    Dodgers will probably get it together and coast to the NL West title. But, boy, do they look bad right now.
  22. gflore34
    You didn’t read the aggrandizing Brewers article on the front page?
  23. gflore34
    Maybe, just maybe, he’s not good? But, it’s the Brewers and they’re soooooooo superior to the Cubs
  24. gflore34
    Superman done for the Brewers tonight, no score, Mariners have a chance. Gilbert has been completely dominating the Brewers.
  25. gflore34
    Pure garbage, pitch in literally the same location was a strike several times for Hill.
