I still think the lineup is a bat, maybe, two short, but, they'll have the arms to deal.
-
Given what we've learned of the gross incompetence surrounding Caleb, I don't think people grasp just how much Caleb was able to accomplish. Sure, there's plenty of negatives to site, there's also plenty on the positive side. I really don't believe any of the QB's in Caleb' class would have been able to put up the same numbers in the same conditions. I think Ben Johnson saw this and realizes Caleb is special, has better tools than Goff, and, knows he can bring Caleb to the next level. Caleb is going to cook this season and he's going to out produce all of Daniels, Maye, Nix and Penix, showing everyone why he is the number one pick.

Time to kick them when they're down, no Harper, take advantage. Taking advantage would be greatly facilitated by Happ and Tucker getting going, something, anything would help.
-
Better than Pressly and I suspect would have been more effective as the closer for Cubs in April. Though Pressly' ineffectiveness may turned out for the best, I've far more confidence in Palencia at the end of the game now.
-
Was anyone encouraged that Horton' going to minimize the mistakes today? He sandwiched three pretty effective innings with mistake littered innings. Is too much to expect he's ever going to get it going this year? Still a good thought to keep giving him chances going with a six man rotation when Shota comes back? With his, thus far, apparent inability to consistently execute I don't know if moving Horton to the bullpen would serve the Cubs very well.
-
I fully expect Luzardo to right the ship vs the Cubs and that's okay. With both Wheeler and Luzardo if the Cubs stay in those games, get into the Phillies bullpen, they'll win one of them.
-
You're probably correct. Currently, his ERA 1.30, I'm thinking it's going to go up, maybe not too much.
-
I guess we could go back and forth, on one hand said scary pitcher can't pitch every inning. He can pitch multiple times in a series to great effect. On the other, scary line up plays every inning and gets many more chances than scary pitcher. Then, there's the randomness of playoff baseball, who knows, maybe Cubs' pitching staff catches lightning in a bottle and shuts everyone down while their line up does just enough to win. Or Skubal, after a long season and a plethora of innings, tires a little and gets crushed.
-
That's all it takes, because of the Cubs' strength in their line up they do have some margin for error. Tigers don't have that, Dodgers certainly do, Padres, Mets, Phillies and should they make it, the Diamondbacks, as well.
-
No one, who's the scary bat on the Tigers?
-
It'd be real nice if the Cubs could return the favor to them by taking two of three. Last time the Phillies came in having lost four in row before righting the ship vs Cubs. Is Harper out? If so, I like the Cubs chances to win the series.
-
Agree on Flaherty, don't know if I'm sold on Kahnle, he's been fantastic over 27+ innings, maybe over performing a bit. There's a real good chance he regresses over the next 20 or so innings.
-
They do deserve credit for playing well. Other than Skubal there's nothing scary about them, very beatable should the Cubs meet them again.
-
Just the way the series went, every bounce and anything fortuitous that could have happen for Tigers did.
-
It's more that other dipshit.
-
BS, Tigers are not significantly better, if they're better at all, Cubs, with any amount of luck, could have just as easily taken two of three. They're were several plays made by Tigers they don't make again.
-
Maybe, be awfully horsefeathers nice if Happ and Tucker show up.
-
Yeah, it's got be an automated system to remove the HP umpires from the equation, let them remain to call the system results. And tag plays at home, other non-strike calling efforts, etc.
-
I don't see how just two challenges is going to effect anything, as you said, they'll still be a horsefeathers-ton bad calls.
-
How many of those 11 K's weren't legit? At least 4, You can't say the umpiring didn't take away any momentum or effect any chances for the Cubs. It most definitely cost the Cubs runs.
-
Maybe, probably, I'm just pissed listening to Tigers dipshit announcers plus the Cubs losing two of three. Tigers seem like the type of team that'll have a great regular season but, will go down in the post season because they don't have big bat in the lineup. Sure Skubal will great but, some playoff team will shut them down in non-Skubal games and win the series.
-
I never expect anything positive to result from a Brujan at bat. Pleasantly surprised when something positive does happen.
-
Plus an incredible number of obvious bad calls going their way. Should they meet again, and I really hope they do, I like the Cubs chances.
-
I'll say this when the Tigers see the Cubs in the WS, all the bounces, bad calls aren't going they're way again, this is a one time occurrence, lap it up. At least baseball greatest team, the Cardinals, are down 4 as well.
-
Another obvious ball called a strike for the Tigers. Why the horsefeathers can't the Cubs take advantage of this joke of strike zone or is Horton incapable of hitting those spots today.
