    Yes! 100% agree, I don’t understand that decision at all unless Suzuki is hurt and couldn’t play the field. If he was only intended to be used for 1 PA today and nothing else the 5th inning with 1st base open is a complete waste of his PA And look who pops up to end the game

    Number of 5+ ER outings for Stro last season: 1 So I guess that means he’s got it out of his system for the season Also there’s this:

    1 strike from getting out of it again. Damn

    The general feeling out there seems to be 'lets move on' and that's completely fair, but thought these comments from Javy were interesting: https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/cubs/javy-baez-cubs-talks-we-were-5-days-getting-it-done Sounds like the 'biblical losses' caused the Cubs to back down on previous extension talks. Article also mentions that after Bryant extension talks went nowhere in 2016-2017 it seemed like a foregone conclusion that he would leave and there wasn't much discussion after that. Last offseason they tried to get something done with Rizzo at a discount but rightly so it went nowhere. This tracks with what we've known, just further confirmation.

    Yeah I didn’t understand why he faced McMahon. Guess Ross showing a little trust in him plus it’s only the 5th inning. But definitely didn’t look comfortable out there I believe McMahon was his 3rd batter, he had to face him. 4th. The fielders choice, a double and a walk followed by another walk

    Schwindel with a little 2021 vibes

    I haven’t felt comfortable with Roberts out there yet so it concerned me that he was coming in that situation. A single (essentially), double and a run later and I don’t feel more comfortable

    Madrigal blows. 6 games or not
  12. UMFan83
    Steele is a bad man.
  13. UMFan83
    Almost screwed it up again lol. I don’t think either grounder was a double play so I’m not sure what they were doing
  14. UMFan83
    Ugh Villar
  15. UMFan83
    Happ the only one that didn’t do something
  16. UMFan83
    Seiya!

    Nice baserunning

    Am I missing something?

    Should probably go in the other games thread but since its somewhat Cubs related...Brewers aces the 2nd time through the rotation: Burnes - 7 IP, 3 H, 1 BB, 0 ER Woodruff - 5 IP, 3 H, 1 BB, 0 ER

    Not really buying it, but its making the rounds

    Does Marquee lose any money because of all these games that are taken off? There are probably safeguards in place I guess. But it does ruin one very minor benefit of Marquee - not having to figure out what channel the game is on. But instead of flipping between WGN, WCIU and NBCSN Chicago, you have to figure out what streaming platform its on and whether you subscribe to it.

    5 games in and I'm not sure I have a feel for this team at all. I still see them at 74-78 wins. Offense is going to struggle at times, pitching is going to get lit up at times but overall they should be competent enough. Defense has been a strength (I think?) and it seems like we already have some solid options in the pen. And obviously with Suzuki being the first cornerstone of the "next great Cubs team", his hot start is very promising.

    4 runs scored in 2 games against the Pirates, 3 of them on solo HRs. Are we still watching the previous era of Cubs baseball?
  24. UMFan83
    Just as I didn't overreact to the first game, I won't overreact to this game but not good to see Kyle struggle like this
  25. UMFan83
    I'm starting to think Schwindel isn't the long term answer at 1B
