Oh wow I just saw the replay, I thought they just blew it with normal hits. I’ve never seen as many communication issues on defense as I’ve seen with the 2024 Cubs -
Just when things seem a little too good to be true lol
-
You know Morel could have gone 2-17 these last couple of games 😂
-
I knew Assad had fallen off a bit but I didn’t realize how much he had since Mid-May: (not including today) 10 starts 5.05 ERA 6.29 FIP .924 OPS against 2.1 HR/9 12.8% BB% 1.69 WHIP Averaging 4.2 IP per start (to be fair some of that time he was coming back from the injury) Not trying to rip on him, I just legitimately didn’t realize how rough of a stretch he was in (with a n injury in between). I still think he’s a very useful pitching for the Cubs moving forward. Just not sure whether that’s in the rotation, as a swingman, in the pen, etc.

its not even worth discussing currently. Its Cubs discussion forum so obviously feel free to talk about it (lol) but it feels pointless to discuss in their current position.
-
If the Cubs can win 1 of the 2 weekend games they will have broken a stretch of 0-9-1 in series against NL Central teams since early May.
-
Beating the Cardinals is fun. I don't expect any amazing winning streaks to bring us back to contention (but who knows), but its definitely a more relaxing vibe post deadline. No one has any expectations for them anymore, just go out there and have fun and try to win some games.
-
Well at least there is some margin for error in the 9th
-
6 walks in the inning, 0 hits
-
Shocker, walked in another run
-
Is this part of Counsel's great bullpen managing to let a guy struggling with control issues to walk 4 guys in an inning, throwing 35 pitches and then bringing in another guy who has struggled with walking guys this year? Edit: yes I know TT Neris has stabilized or whatever. Maybe its my fault, Ive barely watched for weeks including most of today, turn it on with a 4 run lead, 2 outs and 1 on, and am rewarded with 3 straight walks.
-
How about we not walk everyone to bring the Cardinals back into the game? Yeesh
-
That seems incredibly odd that the Cubs have a 2 game series against the White Sox next Friday and Saturday and a day off on Sunday
-
Assad trying to give it right back
-
Cool look at where Seiya’s 459 ft bomb would have landed at all the other parks:
-
We’re gonna be in great shape when teams make their cost cutting waiver moves
-
Yeah always fun to gut punch loss the Cardinals. Good times
-
After this series the Cubs will be done with the season series for the Brewers and Cardinals and just 3 more division series this season - 2 against Pittsburgh and 1 against the Reds.
-
I’m guessing people haven’t watched the HOF games in previous years. There is absolutely 0 value to this game unless you really really care about long shot 53rd man prospects. It’s significantly more pointless than even the 4th preseason game (back when there was 4 preseason games).
-
I kind of want the Bears to get blown out so I can laugh at callers on the Score freaking out tomorrow.
-
It’s really just to have a game as a showcase for HOF weekend. It’s been like this for years, it’s basically a giant burden for every team involved which is why I’m surprised the NFL made the Bears do this, sacrifice a home game for a UK game and do Hard Knocks all in the same season.
-
What if anything should we be excited about watching tonight? Seeing how Bagent has progressed over the offseason? Velus Jones has seemingly gotta a little buzz in camp, might be worth seeing if there's any validity to that. Presumably Tory Taylor will play, so I guess looking forward to his punts? lol TBH I keep forgetting there's a game tonight, but I'll be watching.
-
Not sure if anyone pointed this out but Paredes’ first hit as a Cub was a double but would have been a HR at the Trop 😂
-
Wonder if this affects any potential extension for Allen. Feels like he is probably a one and done and I’m ok with that given his age. Also I have no idea if this makes sense but I was thinking the other day about how many of the elite teams in football actually carry 3 elite WRs on the roster (assuming Rome becomes elite). Obviously for many teams it’s not feasible because a big chunk of their cap is tied up on the QB. So you see things like the Chiefs getting rid of Tyreek Hill and Bills trading Diggs. Rodgers always bitched about lack of weapons but did just fine with Adams and scraps. Brady had that one monster season with Moss but in general lacked elite WR1s. It’s great that for Caleb’s rookie season he has 3 potential WR1s on the roster. It will really help him get him acclimated to the NFL, especially with an extremely QB friendly WR/safety blanket in Allen. But if Caleb progresses like we hope, maybe we try to entice him with a 1-2 year extension. But if the excess cap room we have from Caleb’s rookie contract can better be used at a different position group, then I am on board with not bringing him back because if Caleb really does become an upper echelon QB, the need for numerous elite WRs is lessened greatly.

Are you suggesting we just let them go to save some money? Because post-deadline waiver trades aren't a thing anymore
