    I'm certain the Marlins will put a very high price tag on Alcantara, in such a case, Cubs probably won't pay. Will other teams?

    Appears Festa' stuff is almost a carbon copy of yesterday' starter for the Twins. After taking a night off, I believe the Cubs will score plenty of runs tonight. Think they've a good chance to win tonight.

    Just one game and really, I don’t give a horsefeathers about the Brewers. Cubs are better and within a few weeks will have an improved starting staff. They’ll be facing another substandard starter tomorrow, I don’t think that leave junk over the middle trick is going to work again for the Twins.
  4. gflore34
    No reason at all the Cubs can’t win the next two. Twins are very beatable, Hodge may not completely healthy,, I’d like to see Little get another chance.

    I do believe the light will go on for Shaw, it's just not going to happen for a while.
  6. gflore34
    Starting wise I believe he'll be facing types very similar to what he saw from the Cardinals maybe, that'll help.
  7. gflore34
    Rentals shouldn't cost more than a lottery ticket and, I agree, if you're going to trade Cassie and Wiggins it better be for someone hugely impactful for this season and beyond.
  8. gflore34
    Perhaps, this is the series Shaw breaks out a little? Some thought he was close, series against the Cardinals he had maybe, one hit, don't recall him hitting the ball particularly hard.

    As an aside, I know many of us, including myself, have been dogging on Rea but, holy horsefeathers was he good on the fourth. Maybe one mistake, to Winn, which PCA erased, for the whole game?
  10. gflore34
    Get this first one tonight, then split the next two, that'll work.
  11. gflore34
    The Cubs miss Ryan, Lopez is on the DL, the remainder of Twins' rotation appears to be the type of pitchers the Cubs feast on. Is that a fairly accurate statement?
  12. gflore34
    The Dodgers continuance with Betts at SS is one thing I don't understand. He's not a reliable glove out there and the Dodgers' defense isn't exactly stellar. Put him back where he belongs, in the outfield, and bench Conforto.
  13. gflore34
    I doubt it, it's annoying as hell but, even a broken clock is correct twice a day. Vaughn is really not good, his best season - 2023 - resulted in 1.1 WAR with an OPS+ of 102.
  14. gflore34
    For me it would be Cabrera + Merrill Kelly + Eugenio Suárez and, I believe, this could happen without involvement of Cassie or Wiggins. It may take all of Alcantara, Triantos, Long, a couple of arms, etc., I'm okay with that being the price.
  15. gflore34
    I watched most of the game, Woodruff did look good but, a couple of things, first, despite lately playing well, the Marlins are a legitimately terrible offensive team. Team OPS+ of 94, with 5 guys in their lineup below 100, Second, Woodruff appears to have lost some velocity, don't think his stuff is as electric as it once was and will quite probably never be again, for him, the Marlins we're an almost perfect first start.
  16. gflore34
    Besides, of course, winning I thought Wicks looked good and that was the best thing from tonight's game.
  17. gflore34
    Well, at least the Phillies won, nice they beat other NL Central teams besides the Cubs.
  18. gflore34
    Pretty safe to say the Cubs are going to score quite a few runs, too many guys in their lineup have crushed Fedde.
  19. gflore34
    The Horton start last week, did they even offer at any of his breaking/off speed stuff? Although, I don't know how the cheating works on the road, I was under the impression it was solely a home field "advantage".
  20. gflore34
    Cassie and Wiggins are the prospects I'd to see the Cubs keep, the rest of them - Alcantara, Long, Triantos, Ballesteros, even Ben Brown - have at them Jed. Use, them to get some pitching help.
  21. gflore34
    Brewers lost, Cubs will have a good chance to pick up a game on them tomorrow. Marlins have been playing well, have Cabrera going tomorrow, Brewers have Woodruff. I don't think it'll be 2023 Woodruff out there for the Brewers.
  22. gflore34
    The Cardinals - no - their starters are soft, rarely miss bats, just don't see them able to maintain more than a .500 team. The Brewers will probably hang in until the Cubs make some moves. I still feel, after Jed bolsters up the staff, the Cubs are going to bury the rest of the NL Central.
  23. gflore34
    Boyd will be good tomorrow and the Cubs will win the series. Doesn't matter who the Cardinals' starter is, the only effective one vs. the Cubs pitched today. I see its Fedde they'll crush him.
  24. gflore34
    What's even better is last week the Cardinals played HR (4) derby with the Cubs. Well, the Cubs played HR (8) derby with the Cardinals and did it twice as good.
  25. gflore34
    I think a change of scenery will make a big difference. If the Marlins are willing to move him at low cost I'd love for the Cubs to take a chance.
