What is this pick that everyone is talking about? Some CBA nuance I forgot about? -
Brown throwing a ton of balls in the early going. Not great for getting 6 innings out of him
-
Cubs cornering the market on top 50ish 1B prospects from NL West teams that struggled in their 1st shot in the MLB.
-
HOLY CRAP. 5 in a row!!
-
It took Seiya 18 days to return from his oblique injury last year FWIW In 2022 he missed nearly 2 months with another oblique injury. Edit: nevermind, it took him 7 weeks to return from the injury in 2023. So 7 weeks and 8 weeks
-
Yeah I thought it was weird that they didn’t mention anything. He slowed up considerably on a ball he had a small chance to beat out and looked at but awkward.
-
So Busch is now 6th in the MLB in home runs, just one HR shy of being at the top of the leaderboard. Pretty fun story, hope he keeps it up.
-
We'll see. Don't get me wrong, they definitely can easily dispose of him if he's not working out, but have to think the Cubs sold him on having a shot to stick on the MLB roster which is why he agreed to a minor league deal with the Cubs after refusing a minor league assignment with the Mets.
-
Crazy that he was playing a college hockey game as recently as Thursday, and 3 days later he's scoring a goal in the NHL @Old Style I have no idea, but I'm assuming there is a logical reason why. Feel like I've seen this happen with NCAA prospects towards the end of seasons. Since Nazar was only a Sophomore (I believe), perhaps this was a deal made to get him to forego the rest of his college eligibility? But I'm literally just guessing. Edit: What jersey said makes sense
-
Worried this means that Steele is going to be down longer than we’re hoping, but it could also be another option should Hendricks not get it together I suppose.
-
Omg I’m having September flashbacks with the ****** Arizona pitchers lined up to start against the Cubs. edit: and the “someone worse” is the infamous Pfaadt who I was looking forward to facing last September due to his season ERA being over 6, but he ended up beating the Cubs twice and then pitching several important games for the DBacks in the playoffs.
-
Man I’d be so pissed if this same game happened in reverse with the Cubs playing the role of the Mariners. It almost wipes out the frustration of the 8-0 game.
-
I’m still confused by why Julio Rodriguez never PH and instead Pinch Ran. Wouldn’t you want him to get an AB in a 1 run game late? I could understand if they were just a team that when a player has an off day they are completely off the table for using but they used him for a pinch runner. Weird edit: I suppose given his struggles he may have just been taking a mental day from hitting. Im sure getting picked off doesn’t help his mental struggles though lol
-
Will happily take a lucky win. Need those over the course of a season
-
If we win this game it would feel like thievery. Really nothing much on offense outside of our only hitter that’s hitting well right now going yard and multiple scoring rallies stopped by unlucky double plays
-
Holy hell how is that possible. I’ll take it
-
Great job walking the bases loaded on 5 non competitive pitches
-
Is Julio Rodriguez not available at all today? Surprised he hasn’t PH yet
-
I don’t know why that was our big pen acquisition but I figured they just knew more than me
-
Driving me nuts. This team hasn’t hit all series and we’re just giving them free bases. Not even tough ABs just 4 or 5 pitch walks
-
Are we really gonna be the team whose bullpen can’t horsefeathers throw strikes ever? making this way too easy for them, come on Neris
-
Ahh was just setting up for Leiter to get 3 outs on 2 pitches. Great move Counsell
-
Suboptimal to allow the first 2 batters to reach in a 1 run game.
-
1 run game in late innings, leadoff man gets on and then picked off ugh
-
Ugh sucks to end 2 straight otherwise scoreless Assad starts with a 2 run HR
