    Does that mean Soroka' done for the season? Kind of reads that way to me.
  2. gflore34
    Sounds good to me, make it happen.
  3. gflore34
    I think it will as well, what concerns me is may take another 2 weeks to a month for them to snap out of it.
  4. gflore34
    Both.

    All solid, the Brewers down fall in the playoffs will be they usually need multiple hits to score. Sure, Collins, as he did yesterday, can hit a 3R HR off Fedde. Not certain he'll be able to do likewise off the likes of Wheeler, Senga, etc. nor, is it likely they be able string together multiple hits against those types of starters. But, anyways, screw the Brewers, time for the Cubs to start playing better.

    My motto as a Cubs fan - expect the worst, hope for the best.

    Why not sit Suzuki for a while or, at least, the remainder of this Reds series? Go with Tucker at DH, Castro in RF? I think there's a greater chance of Busch coming out of his slump while playing than Suzuki.

    Why not? Orioles threw some horsefeathers schmoe call up out there Sunday and he was effective, why can't the same thing happen for the Cubs?
  9. gflore34
    Don't believe it matters, with the lack of hitting, they would have lost 4-3 instead of 3-2.
  10. gflore34
    Is Birdsell a possibility? Has made 3 starts at Iowa, only 14 IP though, so maybe after another start at Iowa? Noland as well? Given Soroka is done for a while, if not the remainder of the season, have to start thinking outside the box.
  11. gflore34
    Great, just when we thought they may be done with horsefeathers bullpen games, here we are again.
  12. gflore34
    I know it's a possibility, it's baseball almost anything is possible. This team is in such a deep funk I'm really questioning whether they're capable of better baseball at this point.
  13. gflore34
    I'm guessing he access to all the data including medical reports and, after consultation, deemed Soroka a risk worth taking? Or, is this another Neris and Pressly for Jed? Any word on the injury, is it the injury of the year oblique?
  14. gflore34
    I will note the Brewers got 3, yes 3 hits, off the corpse of Erik Fedde yesterday. Still insist they're no offensive juggernaut, not that it really matters with the way the Cubs continue to not hit.
  15. gflore34
    Keep waiting for this horsefeathers team to get hot, just don't believe it's going to happen. It's been 2+ months and the big hitters are showing no signs of coming out of their slumps. I know I've alluded to having patience, there's patience and realizing something is an exercise in futility. I've just about had with this horsefeathers team, bring on football. Speaking of which, I wish the Illini weren't so highly ranked or ranked at all, never seem to do well when the spotlight is on them. It's better to toil away in anonymity.

    Anyone else know the ball Turner hit was gone off the bat? I'm proud to say I did.
  17. gflore34
    I read that somewhere, I'm certain, if at all possible, the Cubs will face Skenes. They've never missed him, why start now?
  18. gflore34
    It'd be tough to watch, hopefully, they'll be light at the end of the tunnel for Cassie.
  19. gflore34
    This aligns with development of a players in any sport, we'd like to see a linear ascension. When, in reality, the curve towards being good looks like something drawn with a spirograph.
  20. gflore34
    Feels as if it's been this way all season, very rarely have the Cubs missed the opposition' best starters. Think I read they'll miss Skenes when they face the Pirates, which, I believe, will be the first time the Cubs have missed a Skenes start since he came up. Not too worried about Littell, appears he doesn't miss many bats and has given up 26 HR in 133 IP, haven't looked at the splits. The high HR total may be a function of where TB has played homes.
  21. gflore34
    Not, that the Cubs have been able to do anything with any sort of pitching, it still horsefeathers sucks they face Lodolo and Abbott while Brewers face a continued string lousy pitching. Guess, the third game in Atlanta the Brewers are facing, for the first time in a week, a not so crappy starter in Strider.
  22. gflore34
    He couldn't square up any of the meatballs he saw Saturday. Even on consecutive pitches, Friday though, he did hit balls with >= 100 EV. Offensively he's definitely under performed even modest expectations, don't believe there's much of an argument there, with the glove, I'd say he's over performed modest expectations.
  23. gflore34
    Was wondering about line up construction now that Happ is maybe starting to get hot. Time to move him back to the lead off spot? Then teams will not be able seemingly exploit match ups late in games. Move Busch to clean up, maybe, Nico/Kelly in the 5th spot and PCA to the 6th spot, you'll have (L-R),L,R,L,R,L. I've read that line up construction doesn't matter all that much. Nevertheless, it appears as if teams are really taking advantage of all the left handed bats at the top of the line up. Then again, this presently may look bad because 1-2-3 are all slumping.
  24. gflore34
    I still don't get why Jed acquired Pressly at all, he has access to the data, did he think Pressly was going age like a fine wine?
  25. gflore34
    One of worrisome things is the dip in velocity otherwise, the numbers that should be low are lower than last season. The numbers that should be higher are higher than last season. I don't believe this is a Pressly like situation where the peripherals strongly suggested a continued down turn in performance and Jed seemingly ignored them.
