    PCA hitless thus far in this series, Tucker not far behind has been just as terrible. Be nice if they do some damage this game.
  2. gflore34
    It's too bad because until that meltdown he exhibited a definite improvement in control:
  3. gflore34
    Cubs also have another stretch of 17 out of 20 or something along those lines coming. All good teams do it and the Cubs are good team. I think it'll coincide with Jed's improvements to starting staff.
  4. gflore34
    I think it's safe to say their schedule after the break is much tougher than the Cubs, at some point, it's going to kick in, losses will come. If they don't, well, hats off to them, all that really matters is the Cubs getting into the tournament then anything can happen.

    We all know it's not sustainable, Vaughn, a proven bad player, will go cold.

    It's annoying, yes the Brewers are playing well and a good team. But, a couple of things, their schedule after the ASB is significantly harder than the Cubs. Coming out of break, they go on the road to LAD and SEA - there's going to be some losses. The Cubs get BOS and KCR at home, no cake walk, however not nearly as though. Second they don't have near the capacity to improve their weaknesses as the Cubs do. Cubs won't be able to close the gap in pitching, they will make it smaller. That's really all the Cubs need, the offense isn't going anywhere and is superior to the Brewers.

    Just amazing, Judge as good as he is, won't approach those numbers.
  8. gflore34
    I'd still take early 2000's Bonds over Judge, for me, it's not close, all things being equal, LHB >>>> RHB.
  9. gflore34
    Announcers never said a word about him, don't think they even mentioned he was hitting. Just babbled about nothing, Hope comes up, they start talking about him as he K's.
  10. gflore34
    Exactly, all that matters is winning, that's the important part. Judge hitting a HR, fastest to 350, blah, blah, you lost the game.
  11. gflore34
    Honestly, horsefeathers Judge, he can hit all the HR's he wants while losing to the Cubs, I'll take it.
  12. gflore34
    Watched the MLB broadcast of the Yankees on YES, the announcers where assuming a DP on Swanson. Looked to me as if he had Chisholm' throw, accurate or not, beat by one, two steps. Did it appear that way to anyone else, just curious?
  13. gflore34
    Dodgers have lost 7 straight, at some point they're going to get right. They play the Brewers out of the break. Bold prediction: the Brewers will lose one of those games.
  14. gflore34
    He threw an awesome slider Judge didn't even come remotely close to, don't know why he didn't throw another.
  15. gflore34
    I have no problem pitching to him, bottom of the 9th, 1 out, up, 5-0, for the Cubs that was a completely meaningless HR. It's the kind of HR you're OK with, doesn't matter you won.
  16. gflore34
    Boyd had Judge struck out at least once, maybe, twice in that at bat.
  17. gflore34
    Okay, in the majors and it's 99 and 2/3, so yes, given what's below I am fairly confident and it's extremely true.
  18. gflore34
    The injury risks and the fact he's never pitched more than 99 innings aren't factors? Injury concerns sure played a role in Luzardo' possible acquisition. Marlins didn't exactly get a big time package from the Phillies.
  19. gflore34
    Maybe, he appeared PO and frustrated after striking out on 2 hanging sliders yesterday. He knows full well he should have least made hard contact on those pitches. Might not be the worst thing in the world to not face Rodon and Fried when you're in a bad slump.
  20. gflore34
    Don't know where all of this talk about Cassie being the asking price for Cabrera. Marlins can ask but, they're not going to get a Cassie level prospect from the Cubs or anyone else for Cabrera. Cabrera, while good, is an injury risk and he's never pitched more than 99 innings (he's currently at 80) whomever takes him on is taking quit a bit of risk as well. Cabrera can definitely be had for someone other than Cassie or Wiggins.
  21. gflore34
    I saw that as well, maybe, the league is starting to figure out he's having trouble with high fastballs? Appears up and in is hole for him.
  22. gflore34
    Shaw working on a 0-20 over his last 6 games only 3 K's. Really, since a good week in early June he hasn't done much, if anyone ever needed just a hint of success it's Shaw. Ultimately, while Cam Smith looks all world, I do believe Shaw will just as good if not better. Just not anytime in the near future.
  23. gflore34
    That's what I was thinking, realistically it appears the Cubs chances are slim to none. Rodon was blown up in last start maybe, and I know I'm grasping at straws, akin to hitter, he's in a slump?
  24. gflore34
    I mean they've played Nick Lopez and Brujan at 3B, LeMahieu' probably a tick or two better.
  25. gflore34
    LeMahieu was released, don't know why the Cubs can't pick him and give a few games at 3B. He did play 3B a decent number of games in 2024 hell, if they're willing to give a Lopez a chance, might as well take a flyer on LeMahieu. Such BS has worked for the Brewers and Vaughn, don't know why it can't work for a few games with the Cubs.
