    Go read the article Derwood. Geez. 😜 I don't love the idea of either and people smarter than me commented on why in that thread.

    Go look at the replay. The throw was to the outfield side of the bag and Busch almost got his arm taken off by the runner trying to make the catch. That ball needed to be further to his left and if it was, it would have been an out. I don't disagree with the ruling of it as a hit because it was a very difficult play, but Nico botched the throw. Go to 6:30 in this: https://www.mlb.com/gameday/777482/video/condensed-game-mil-chc-6-17-25

    That was a terrible throw by Nico. If he puts that a foot, foot and a half to Busch's left, he makes the catch and it's an out. Busch was in no man's land but he got to his spot in time and it was just a bad throw.

    Yeah, there's a good chance that's in the gap against a lot of other CFs.
  5. mul21
    Nico, maybe, the other two, absolutely not.

    Yeah, Civale probably gets traded again assuming he doesn't suck and he gets to be a starter. There are worse things than spending a month and a half in Chicago during the summer and likely landing on a team that's at least decent for the end of the season.

    As said, much more of a "Hey, you guys take our guy we don't have a spot for and we'll take yours" from both teams. Sox have a backlog at first after bringing Elko up and Vaughan wasn't likely in theri plans going forward.

    I'll disagree with you on the assumption that Hodge comes back healthy and effective. I think they have enough late inning arms to finish games with some mixing and matching and I really feel like getting someone who can eat innings efficiently is going to do more for long term/playoff success.

    Psssh, if he was a real man he'd pitch that many innings in a season and a month like Bob Gibson. He's so ridiculously good and outside of the velocity there's nothing that really wows from a visual standpoint.
  10. mul21
    He choked out his spouse, so yeah, he kinda does fit into that doing illegal things category. He's a trash person, so no thanks.
  11. mul21
    I was about 80% sure that's what was going on because you don't go from nearly unhittable to awful like that unless there's something else going on when there aren't any other telltale signs like velocity drop or a sudden inability to throw strikes.
  12. mul21
    Not sure why Busch doesn't get the AB there.
  13. mul21
    The fastball location is problematic. He just has no idea where it's going to end up way too often.
  14. mul21
    Grrrrrr. Tucker has to make that catch.
  15. mul21
    Luzardo has thrown 74 pitches and likely isn't going more than 5. The Phillies pen hasn't been good. I'm not sure why you'd say this.
  16. mul21
    That's a really terrific play by Shaw.
  17. mul21
    Eh, I really think this is a mental thing in the first inning. Go with an opener for the next couple turns and see if that makes a difference.
  18. mul21
    This is one of the reasons I really can't complain about the Cubs announcers, be it Boog, Cohen or otherwise. Other teams have such bad announcers that what we get to listen to is like a symphony in comparison.
  19. mul21
    I can say I was real happy he wasn't on the mound at the end of game 7.
  20. mul21
    I was wondering when PCA was going to get a day off.

    Your assertion that this guy has been mistake free in his 2 MLB starts is presumptuous at best. He was allowing about 6.5 walks per 9 last year and had a 6.46 ERA in AAA last year and while he's cut that down to a little over 4BB/9 this year, he's still going to miss frequently. This is the kind of pitcher the Cubs lineup should chew up and spit out in 4, maybe 5 innings. This kid is far from fully developed and it's a near guarantee that long term, Horton is a better putcher than Abel. This is also his 5th year as a pro with 94 starts in the minors and Horton is in his 3rd full season with 36 starts in the minors.

    I don't mind it but I also think it shouldn't be implemented until the 12th inning.
  24. mul21
    Someone needs to read up on sample size. Good lord.
  25. mul21
    A. I hate the Cardinals. B. Kershaw should stop being a little bitch. Don't give up the HR if you don't want to get trolled. C. One of their starting pitchers is going to go on the IL at some point and they're so thin that it'll kill them. They've gotten all but 3 starts from 5 guys and I'm pretty sure 2 of them were openers or something of that nature.
