    Hopefully Tucker back in the line up, Cubs will win today.

    Brewers must have seen the ball pretty well from Abbott today, that's key, if a team can pick up the ball, there's real good chance Abbott gets pounded. Deception, while not the total on Abbott, does play a very large part in his effectiveness.

    Guys such Gore and Skenes would have super high price tags, maybe, even higher with Skenes. I want Jed to be aggressive - Alcantara, etc. - but, Gore and Skenes would cost too much and, being pitchers, are very risky.
  4. gflore34
    Happ, Hoerner, Kelly (1 AB), Suzuki, Swanson and Tucker all with big numbers vs. Gore maybe, this match up is a little more favorable than we think. They'll get to Gore enough to force the Nationals to go to their bullpen.
  5. gflore34
    Thought someone mentioned they'll miss Wheeler I hope so, Gore, Skubal, Luzardo very diificult, I think they'll handle Flaherty.

    And Skenes, Cubs seem to draw him for every Pirates series.
  7. gflore34
    Even though he took an o-fer, I was encouraged by Swanson' at bats, both SF's were hit hard - 97+ EV just got under them a bit. He's been in a little bit of funk, I think he's coming out of it and we'll see some big days from Dansby in the near future.

    Has really yet to do so on consistent basis hopefully, the mistakes will diminish in the near future.
  9. gflore34
    Most especially Wood, he's the best bat of the three. If Horton can limit base runners ahead of him, hell keep the Cubs in the game, Cubs should feast on the Nationals' bullpen.
  10. gflore34
    I think that's the primary culprit wasn't there also a vicious LD he hit that hurt someone? Or, was that in 2017? Beaning happened in 2018.
  11. gflore34
    That's the frustrating part, literally the only team in the Central capable of being such as team, no competition on that front, and, for, I'm guessing financial reasons, they choose option 2. I believe a winning team ultimately makes more money than a losing team that manages to draw a good crowd because of ambiance. Somewhat, like the old expression it takes money to make money. I would love for the Cubs to be the evil empire of the NL Central, use their resources to the fullest, make the whole of the Reds, Cardinals, Brewers and Pirates inconsequential in the Central,

    What could have been with KB, injuries de-railed his career. Started with the shoulder in 2017 and then that horsefeathers Marquez beaning. Such a shame, was on track to be amongst the best Cubs ever. Jed has done a decent job, still waiting for Darvish trade to pay off, be it Cassie making an impact as a Cub or in trade for a SP.

    I believe what was intended is that they're always right for the Cubs regardless of how they were playing prior to the series. True they've got a great rotation it's also, in baseball years, very old and has not shown any signs of age regression. That's what I was getting at in that they're over performing a tad. Not having Harper in the line up certainly made them less scary for the Brewers.
  14. gflore34
    I thought the Phillies were over performing a bit, to roll over and play dead for the Brewers I did not expect. Don't worry those asswipes will be right for the Cubs.
  15. gflore34
    Expect the worst, hope for the best, worked this time.
  16. gflore34
    After looking dead with bats but, still splitting the first two games, the Cubs bats come alive to take the series clincher. Gain a game on the pissbirds and Reds very nice.
  17. gflore34
    Expect the worst, hope for the best, always been my motto as a life long Cubs fan.
  18. gflore34
    WTF was that? A clean, I don't what's the nickname for striking out side inning for Pressly? What, that's his second or third clean inning all year?
  19. gflore34
    Then we have our own really bad hitter, Brujan, swinging at ball 4. Should have had the take sign for him.
  20. gflore34
    It does happen, he's really bad, running a -0.3 WAR (-0.4 O, 0.1 D) so far this season, best he's ever put up was three years ago a 2.4. Don't know why he's hitting second for the Reds.
  21. gflore34
    The walks to not so good hitters like Espinal are the killers. Score some more runs.
  22. gflore34
    That's the injury of the year - oblique - isn't it? If so, fuuuuuuuuuuuuck! I'd been okay with bloody, swollen nose if I had choice. Probably has that in addition to the oblique.
  23. gflore34
    Time for Shaw to hit a rocket.
  24. gflore34
    While bad for his looks, that's good for the Cubs, no hamstring-oblique BS.
  25. gflore34
    Just like the last series with those horsefeatherss, struggling coming in, then, right the ship for and against the Cubs. They were ass against the Cardinals as well.
