Seiya is alive!

Horton is our Game 3 starter

missed the first 2 strikes against Andujar... missed a first pitch strike against Steer...
-
just like I said... pickoff and two quick outs to get out of it
-
here comes a run... expecting a wild pitch, a groundout to Nico, then a SF

I've seen this photo pop up a couple times, and I can't help but wonder if Dansby looking to see if he beat the throw contributed to his missing the bag... didn't notice it on replay, but it looks kinda obvious here that he's looking for the throw and not the bag

This just isn't even fun right now

Occam's baseball game

2 straight check swing hits and a Happ misplay... Brown is snakebitten

That was absolutely crushed

JT!

Worth it

Only a terrible throw got us a run that inning... despite two balls hit that are usually HRs. Not sure how Kelly didnt score on PCA's double. They were never close to catching that

Cubs 2025 Trade Deadline Thread
Rex Buckingham replied to Brandon Glick's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
yep, he and Jed are so similar... two extremely conservative guys running teams in huge markets and hesitating to spend what they need to spend... liked Rosenthal's point that they're counting on their guys progressing and the team continuing to improve... but so were the Orioles, who have collapsed this year. I really hope that Caissie, Alcantara, Long, Mo, etc. keep hitting in Iowa to finish the season and Jed can make an offseason move for a frontline starter -
Kriske and Hollowell are easy outs from the bullpen. Pomeranz is probably next given he's turning into a pumpkin. Brown and/or Horton to the minors for Taillon/Assad McGuire goes for Amaya, Ballesteros back down for Castro

Cubs 2025 Trade Deadline Thread
Rex Buckingham replied to Brandon Glick's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I'm disappointed that they didn't get a better starter than Soroka. I feel like they've been a SP away from being a strong contender since Steele went down. However, the bullpen appears to have gotten better. The lineup is stronger with Castro able to fill in and give breaks. The postseason bullpen could be nasty if they can include Horton and Brown -
Cubs 2025 Trade Deadline Thread

yeah, that why I think it's more about the package than Mo... I think they'd be fine moving him, if the value is right (same as it ever was, with Jed) -

I think the Ballesteros thing is mostly, "We're not including him in this package" more than he isn't available -
Cubs 2025 Trade Deadline Thread

ooof, I would hate to trade Horton, but if that's what it takes I think you have to take the chance on the proven guy... flags fly forever, and this team is good enough to get one if they get Gore and the bats stop slumping (and stay healthy...)
