Two starters is just silly. In an ideal world, sure, but this isn't an ideal world. They need one very good starter. No more depth pitchers.

The Yankees aren't that good without Judge. Every game is winnable. -

I don't know anything about Antoine Kelly, but he looks the part of a guy who could be a nice bullpen arm. -

How about, how many fewer guys would have had 200 hits because of analytics and defensive positioning? -
Could have been a sweep, but can't ever complain about 3 of 4 in St. Louis.
-
That's a hit against 29 other teams.
-
Bregman is running the bases today like his feet are on fire.
-
I wish I shared your optimism on that one.
-
Oh Ian.
-
Nice, Bregman.
-
I was thinking along the same lines. Not just that it took away PCA's game winner, but also the narrative that goes along with that.
-
Why go away from Thielbar with the lefties coming up?
-
PCA is getting thrown at tomorrow if he plays. But I'm really hoping Craig gives him the day off anyway.
-
Completely agree. Ideally, some of the dropoff is offset by better pitching health, but the offense is going to be a struggle to replicate this year.
-
Good news: The Cubs won and I got to watch the whole game on my tablet. Bad news: I live at LAX now.
-
These guys in the crowd chanting all game long is extremely annoying.
-
I have been stuck at LAX since this morning and have another 4 hours to wait before my rescheduled flight takes off. I've been sitting here waiting for the Cubs game to start so I have something to do, and now a weather delay...
-
Feels like a little bit of smoke and mirrors right now. He has had a lot of soft contact finding holes rather than the constant hard hit balls he was hitting in Iowa. I do like him, but I think now is the perfect time to get maximum value with him as a key trade piece.
-
I assume lots of contenders have a starter in their rotation with a 6.00 ERA... I never liked the Taillon signing, but he did give the Cubs a couple solid years of value in the middle two years of the contract. But now, the time has come to move on. Unless there's a minor injury and they can stash him away for awhile on a rehab assignment in case of emergency, he needs to be released by the next time this rotation spot comes around.
-
He plays a good third base. I'll give him that much. And only that much.
-
Funny they are talking about how Counsell likes the wind howling in. Why wouldn't he? He has a pitching staff full of guys who are prone to giving up the long ball. The wind may be the only thing that keeps them competitive.
-
That was incredible.
-
We haven't seen the best of Michael Busch. I know this because Rick Sutcliffe told us last night that he is only going to keep getting better.
-
Nice job Javy. Definitely not your fault.
-
To be fair, who else would you put in the 4 spot from today's lineup? After 1-3, there's a big dropoff regardless.
