It's sad that my first thought when Swanson came up - well, at least, it'll be harder for him to hit into multiple outs.
-
A bit of an exaggeration, I'll reply with another he's not even in the same universe as Barry Bonds,
-
Hasn’t this been his main issue throughout his career?
-
Don't really understand why they went with an off-speed pitch, which Cabrera hung. A soft hitter like Collins isn't going to hurt you on hard stuff or at least, there's less of chance, he'll hurt you on something hard. Should have gone hard sinker or FB on 1-1 then, maybe, go off-speed down and in or off the plate. Just like Palencia doing Hill a favor with off-speed pitches. It's only one game and, in the long term, probably won't matter.
-
The play-in game is their goal.
-
I believe the offense is starting to show signs of coming out their recent funk. The weren't dominated by Peralta today, drew some BB's, which is key, when they start drawing walks the big innings are coming. They'll take two of three from the Mariners. As stated above Jameson was probably going to regress but, I also believe he'll keep the Cubs in the game more often than not. He's definitely not weak spot in rotation that must soon be addressed.
-
Like PCA, we may not see Shaw have any offensive impact until next season. I'd keep him in the lineup because, at least, he's defensively solidified 3B. Unless Jed does something like swing a deal for Suarez and Kelly.
-
Exactly, in the long run, I don't believe the Brewers are a threat ultimately, it could possibly be the Reds. If Jed can swing a decent deal for some starting pitching the Cubs will win the Central fairly comfortably.
-
You know it's not your day when you give HR's to soft hitting guys like Durbin and Collins. Regardless of the outcome of this game I don't think the Brewers are that much of threat. While a good team, just don't think, over the long season, they're going to score enough runs.
-
OPSing over 900, 3.1 WAR, the HR's and XBH's will come, probably in bunches.
-
Cubs will make up a 3 run difference, Tallion and bullpen have to keep them in the game.
-
It's pretty oblivious Tallion doesn't have it maybe, look at giving Cabrera a few innings? While the Cubs chip away and get to the Brewers bullpen.
-
The Brewers, a GB machine, have hit 1 GB, Tallion is not dialed in today. Cubs will score some more runs hopefully, Jameson gets dialed in and starts to generate the GB's.
-
Excellent, limit the damage, the Cubs will get to Peralta today.
-
I have to think we'll see some positive regression from Swanson, might as well start today.
-
I would think the Marlins are going to over ask, they won't get what they asked for but, I suspect they'll try.
-
Him and Skubal both great stuff + control == almost unhittable. Skubal has issued 9 BB in 90+ innings...
-
Read something about the Cubs looking at the Angels' Soriano and, it sounds like taking on Kikuchi' bad contract. I like it, most especially if relieving the Angels of a bad contract lessens the prospect cost for Soriano.
-
Skenes was pretty good right out the gate, we all saw it, biggest difference is this guy doesn't have Skenes' control. It's to bad Skubal is going tonight, Skubal - Skenes tomorrow would have been fun.
-
Velocity doesn't seem to bother the Cubs all that much, they can handle it, key is Misiorowski' control. I expect the Cubs will attempt to grind at-bats out, draw some BB's and get to Misiorowski.
-
The Yankees, for all their offensive fire power, have not scored a run in 19 innings vs the Angels. Shutout over 6 innings by Kyle Hendricks (9 K’s) tonight.
-
Love it, getting the series opener was key, Cubs will definitely get one of the next two. I think the bats are starting to awake, it’s coming. Except for Swanson, he must be moved down, I believe Craig will do it soon.
-
Canario with a 2-run single, Pirates up 3-2 on the mighty Tigers. Maybe the Pirates aren’t as bad as we think and the Cubs aren’t terrible for only winning 3 of 4.
-
Tonight is key, get this one and they'll get at least one of the remaining two games. Really interested in tomorrow' match up, Misiorowski has a history of spotty control, guys with control issues aren't very effective against the Cubs. If he walks a Cub an inning they'll score some runs.
-
Brewers have had a tough time with Brown and we appear to be back on the bad start - good start cycle again. Last start for Brown was bad, this one should be good. Guess we'll know within the first batter or two if the Cubs hit the Ben Brown lottery tonight.
