Spoiler alert: NO -
That's a hard hit single in the box score!
-
This offense needs a shot in the arm. It's time to try something different. Get Mervis in the lineup, something. It can't get much worse.
-
Every game is a struggle...
-
Are the metrics available in a way that breaks his 2 strike contact out separately from everything else? The eye test gives us our hypothesis that his 2 strike approach is skewing the data, I would be really interested in what the data shows.
-
Even if Stroman comes back, the Cubs absolutely have to address the starting rotation. They can't go into the season being one injury away (Stroman, Steele) from disaster.
-
Definitely not my parents. I always have to listen to them complain about how they can't stand Boog and all his stats.
-
It feels like we "survived" the Tigers. Now take 3 out of 4 from the Pirates and all will be well going into the Milwaukee series.
-
That was impressive (or at least sounded that way).
-
The starting rotation is a problem and I truly don't think the Cubs are going to be able to withstand it. Hendricks was supposed to be the 5th starter and he is basically being relied on as the team's 2nd best remaining starter behind Steele. Assad has been very good over a short period of time, but can he sustain that? After those 3 pitchers, everything else is a dumpster fire. The offense has to be extremely good to make up for the lack of pitching, and they haven't been that for awhile now.
-
Enjoy him the next 3 seasons being paid like a #2 starter.
-
Is that an open consideration? Is his contract up after this year?
-
The Reds are winning now too. Mama said there'd be days like this.
-
I think losing Stroman killed any hope of pulling away from the field. This is going to be a struggle to the finish line.
-
Reflecting back on happier times, remember when Drew Smyly almost threw a perfect game? Remember that? That was awesome.
-
I don't disagree, but his skillset still plays on a Major League roster. He's not an ideal corner outfielder to be sure, but his 20 Million isn't going to kill them over the next 3 seasons. I'm much more concerned over the accumulation of bad deals like Taillon, Smyly, Barnhart, Mancini.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 8-22-23
Irrelevant Dude replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Canario with his 5th home run in 116 AAA at bats. I have no idea where he fits in with this Cubs roster going forward, but I'm happy to see him healthy and hitting again. -
I have never been a Happ fan, and even less so this season, but his contract is well down the list of signings to complain about. He probably shouldn't be batting third, but he's a solid enough player and he will likely be fine over the life of his deal.
-
My 6 year old agrees.
-
Completely missed the point
-
Way more than tonight.
-
You do realize Wicks didn't HAVE to start on the 18th, right? I'm not saying he should have been the guy tonight, but you keep making a point that is completely irrelevant because he wouldn't have been on short rest if the Cubs wanted him to make the start.
-
Real nice job by Wesneski and Palencia tonight
-
A Maddux-like grab!
-
Throwing doesn't seem to be Amaya's strong suit
