5.3 Cubs v White Sox (Efross v Kopech)
Irrelevant Dude replied to CubinNY's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
But still haven't been shut out! -
4/30 Madrigal is making me feel evil things
Irrelevant Dude replied to Andy's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
I'm not sure it accomplishes anything to send him down, but does he have any options remaining? -
I won't tell you you're wrong. I will tell you that you're using 16 PAs as your sample size. Fair, but I’m also using my eyes. He’s a better player than Frank. I agree. Rivas also has a pretty good track record in the minor leagues and plays good defense. He actually reminds me a lot of Mark Grace. Not saying that he will turn out to be Mark Grace, but they have a similar profile.

4.29 Hendricks getting knocked around
Irrelevant Dude replied to CubinNY's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
I love Kyle and appreciate everything he has done for the Cubs, but I think he is toast. -
It's annoying that Madrigal is bad. What a waste of an opportunity to get a real prospect. Instead we get a poor man's Nico Hoerner.
-
For a guy who "doesn't strikeout", he sure does seem to have 2 strikes on him every time up
-
He runs soooooo sloooooow.
-
I realize Andrelton Simmons is injured, but how do you even have a roster where your two reserve infielders are a guy who can only play 1B and another guy who can't play anywhere?
-
We have been spoiled by some really good defensive infielders over the past several years, and now we get to suffer through a terrible one.
-
That's a hard 3 innings.
-
Called correctly by someone in yesterday's game thread.
-
I don't know that I'm ready to completely throw in the towel on Schwindel, but I'm definitely in favor of Rivas getting more starts.
-
That was a hanger and, of course, Madrigal couldn't do anything with it except ground out.
-
It was somewhat fun for a couple weeks, but this team is awful.
-
Wait, no thread for the game yet? (4/21)
Irrelevant Dude replied to Tim's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Someone please peek into the future and tell me we don't let him finish his contractI think we're stuck with him through the end of this season (barring a real or contrived injury), but he'll be DFA'd next spring. -

Woof. -
I know my pre 2016 Samsung doesn't support a lot of apps now. That could be the issue as well. I stopped using the apps on my pre-2016 Samsung in favor of Amazon Fire boxes/sticks pretty quickly. They were hot garbage. The TV was too, for that matter; it broke 5 years in. That has been my experience with most TV's and/or Blu-ray players that I have owned. It usually isn't even worth bothering with the apps, as they become outdated and obsolete much sooner than the TV's themselves. I have to say though that my experience with Sony TV's has been very good. My 4 year old Sony OLED still runs all the apps just as well as my Roku or Nvidia Shield TV.

Were there warning signs on Stroman or is this just a few bad outings? Or both?
-
This is going great.
-
Hosmer + Campusano + Myers + Cash for Mills + Heyward + Ortega + Bote. Lol, I forgot Bote even existed. I came to that same realization last night. He has no place on this team.
-
Correct, he was IBB'd: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.fcgi?id=suzukse01&t=b&year=2022 Yeah he was thrown 2 balls and then intentionally walked. A waste of his PA for the game. But that's still considered a game he played that he did not get a hit, thus the hit streak ends right? That's how I always interpreted it, but I could be wrong. No, it's a plate appearance, but not an official at bat, so it doesn't end the hitting streak.
-
Kittredge was nasty.
-
Chris Martin is bad.
-
Wisdom looks great so far. I still think the most realistic scenario for Schwindel is that he is a serviceable placeholder until the Cubs can find a lefty power bat to fill that spot.
-
Keegan has been great in this long relief role, but do we expect he'll end up back in the rotation at some point? I think I would rather have him in these semi high leverage piggyback spots a couple times a week.
