Good call, completely forgot about the 27th man rule -
Oh yeah good point. But he can only be used in 1 game right (not that it matters that much)
-
have a feeling Brewer is on his way back to Iowa tonight. Not necessarily because he did terrible but with the DH tomorrow they gave him the extra inning because they likely didn't expect him to be involved tomorrow. Maybe I'm wrong because I'm not even sure who they'd call up since Palencia, Little and Cuas I don't think can be called up unless there's an injury, which just leaves Arias on the 40, who is currently in AA
-
Nooooooo run differential
-
Blah, it almost certainly won't matter but always hate when the Cubs cant bringing a runner home from 3rd with less than 2 outs.
-
Morel is definitely one of the streakier Cubs hitters in recent years. He looked so damn good to start the season.
-
Keegan continuing to throw balls and occasionally getting the Marlins to swing at them. 2 of them swung at ball 4, the next one finally held up for a walk.
-
you are correct. 97.1 exit velo, .170 xBA, HR in 1/30 ballparks. Amaya's double the previous inning is a HR in 9/30 parks
-
Damn, went from being concerned we'd strand the bases loaded with 0 outs to 4 runs scored just like that! Good horsefeathers Miggy
-
Cooper getting it done with 2 strikes yet again (did it the other night with the bases loaded prior to Happ's grand slam)
-
I dont understand why they are all the sudden terrible. I know they got super lucky last year with the 1 run record but thought they were still a fairly decent team.
-
Nico is on an absolute tear right now.
-
Back to the aforementioned Brown, he should be available as soon as tomorrow to give the Cubs multiple innings of relief if necessary. I would assume they'll want to hold him until Sunday though as protection for a potential Hendricks short outing after a DH
-
Solid start for the offense. Morel though is still in quite the funk, now 1 for his last 27 with 10 K (and 2 BB) over that span.
-
Unless they are going with a 6 man rotation for the time being, the reported probables for this weekend are Taillon, Assad, Imanaga, Hendricks and I'm assuming Wicks is the 5th starter. With the off day Monday, the Cubs don't have to use a 6th starter because of the DH tomorrow so no I don't think anyone has explicitly said Brown is out of the rotation but the writing seems on the wall for now.
-
Well as I said, to keep him stretched out. He's already been removed from the rotation, that's been decided. But Hendricks has to be on a short leash at this point and you'd think Brown would be next in line to go back to the rotation should Hendricks continue to falter. Thus wanting to keep him stretched out. I think he can be useful for us out of the pen though as a multi-inning guy for now, I was just speculating on potential players to send down for Taillon
-
Pretty sure that was only the COVID season and thank god edit: nevermind it was also 2021. Stupid rule though
-
I was just thinking about the fact that so far only 9 of our 18 games have been played at what I'd consider a reasonable time. The rest of the games have either been played during work hours or late west coast start times. Luckily 11 of our next 13 are being played at watchable times.

Does anyone care about the Bulls season enough to discuss?
UMFan83 replied to UMFan83's topic in Other Sports
I'll admit that I enjoyed watching last night's game and the Raptors win last year but overall it hasn't really changed my excitement or interest in the last 2 Bulls seasons. At the end of the day they're the 9th or 10th best team in the east and playing for the right to be demolished by the Celtics. Having success in the play-in round will continue to enable AKME to justify their lack of direction for the franchise. But for 2 hours last night, I was able to just enjoy Bulls basketball which is something I rarely do these days as I usually only watch fragments of games if at all and my view of anything Bulls related is shrouded by a black cloud of negativity due to the overall state of the franchise. I don't think there should be a play-in round but since there is, I'll go with the flow. -
Really? Maybe the A's should have moved there instead of moving to Sacramento/Vegas
-
Figures, we got some amazing weather in Chicago while the Cubs were out of town, and now the Cubs are back and its back in the 50s and raining again
-
Brewer or Ben Brown are options. I know it sounds crazy to send Brown down and wouldnt be my choice but perhaps they want to keep him stretched out and roughly on schedule with Hendricks to replace him if he doesnt show signs of improvement.

Also since the Bulls have taken an 18 point lead near the end of the 3rd, this news may be relevant for Friday: -

I agree. It’s so unbelievably stupid to me. And it totally plays right into Reinsdorf’s hands. They can be the 10th best team in the worse conference and still have the fans feeling like they accomplished something because they played in a play-in game. in fact when Reinsdorf dies they should rename it the Jerry Reinsdorf Memorial Tournament because this horsefeathers was made with owners like him in mind -

Yeah. 7 plays 8, winner gets the 7 seed. The loser then plays the winner of 9/10, with the winner getting the 8 seed. So basically the 7 and 8 regular season seeds have 2 chances to win 1 game, with at least the second game guaranteed to be at home. The 9 and 10 regular season seeds have to win 2 straight games, with the last one guaranteed to be on the road.
