  1. Sooner or later the Cubs are going to catch a break, baseball, being the random game that is, means the not every two out bloop by the opposition is going to find a hole for multiple RBI's. Or every hard hit ball by Cubs is going to find a glove. In addition to PCA' three with EV's north of 100, didn't several Cubs' hitters crush a balls yesterday with little to no results? Just ain't going to keep happening well, for, at least, one game.
  2. Given Wiggins inability to stay healthy enough to actually pitch why would he have much interest from other teams?
  3. While I believe Bregman, Happ and Suzuki will come around, I do not believe that of Swanson. Dude is either hurt or he's toast, can't even manage solid contact when he miraculously puts the ball in play. Has no business being any where near the lineup, he needs an IL stint, benched, something away from the Cubs lineup.
  4. PCA had one of hardest 0-fer's today, all balls, even the pop up at 96+ EV, 3 of them 100+ EV - that's just rotten luck. Right now if the Cubs didn't have bad luck they wouldn't have any luck at all. Super bold prediction - the Cubs will win a game this week.
  5. I think drafting someone who, could, like, actually play would be a monumental improvement. Who knows about Conrad, it's been 2+ months since the Cubs said a back injury was going to delay him for a month. Back injuries effectively ended Bryant' career, Conrad may be done before he ever got started. Hell, be completely radical and draft some pitchers with velocity, instead of a bunch of soft tossing spinners of the ball.
  6. For me the most frustrating aspect of this slump is watching the Cubs swing through or roll over the plethora of meat balls they've seen. I guess that's the definition of a slump. We know it's not going to last forever, at some point, Bregman, Suzuki and Happ are going to positively regress. For our sake, I hope it's soon.
  7. Man, it sucks Vegas is going to end up in the final. Makar banged up, MacKinnon rendered ineffective after blocking a shot in the 2nd period. To top it off the Avalanche blow a 3-0 lead. Game tied by a BS player scoring a BS goal. Doesn't help that Wedgewood keeps letting in soft goals.
  8. I did the same last year when they went into their 2+ month slump, might be for the best to ignore them for a while. Maybe even for the remainder of the season.
  9. Counsell' going to put Swanson and Happ back in the lineup tomorrow isn't he? After, without them, they scored more runs in a game than the previous 5? I'd like Swanson, Happ and Suzuki to sit for a while, don't know exactly how long but, for more than a game.
  10. Really frustrating, all three of these Astros' pitchers are extremely hit-able and throwing some meatballs the Cubs can't touch.
  11. Yeah, Suzuki needs to sit for a while or, at the very least, next game.
  12. Did Cubs pitching actually pitch a scoreless inning after they scored? When was the last time that happened? Three weeks ago?
  13. Seriously, the Astros started a guy with Taillon type stuff today and the Cubs barely did anything. Imagine what won't happen when the face an actually good pitcher.
  14. Wow a horsefeathers DP, a little late but, nice to know the Cubs are allowed to turn one once in a while.
  15. At the very least, I'd bench Suzuki and put Alcantara in RF. Really, no reason to not to give Suzuki a break.
  16. Does the opposition ever GIDP? Like horsefeathers ever?
  17. I'll go with K, GB and FB on 11 pitches for Lambert this inning.
  18. Given the way things have gone, is there any reason not to expect he's done for the season?
  19. Well that sucks, given what we've seen, there's a pretty good chance he'll spend much of his remaining time not playing. 2026 and 2027, great.
  20. Have to think, if the injuries keep him off the field, the Bears will be done. Don't know about the economics regarding his extension.
  21. Was rooting for Sabres, tying goal was sweet, too bad they couldn't get it done.
