I'm telling you I really don't like the L-L-R-L top of the order, especially when several of them are slumping. edit: and especially when the one righty in that part of the order is struggling the most. -
Wait he didnt pitch yesterday? horsefeathers nevermind haha We'll see how many pitches he throws in the 9th...getting through the last out of the 8th with 3 pitches is a good start.
-
OK now that's drama
-
Kind of sucks...if Brasier gets out of this inning unscathed maybe they don't use Palencia. If they use Palencia, he's down tomorrow against Milwaukee
-
As soon as Cohen and JD start talking about no drama from Brasier, all the sudden there's drama
-
Andrew "Greg" Vaughn with a long double
-
HELL YEAH that was hilarious lol
-
I think that's ultimately what will happen. Not a full sell off but some selling. A team like the Marlins has to be legit contending or in a decent position to contend to keep their guys. Otherwise, they are always looking at the long term outlook and looking for ways to sell high and build up prospect base.
-
Brewers managed to get both Marlins runners out on the same pickoff play it sounds like to end the inning. Wtf
-
Also about the Marlins, I wonder what they do at the deadline? They are 26-12 in their last 38 games if they win this game. 5 games out of the playoffs fine but do you want to sell when your team is playing like this?
-
Did I hear the broadcast saying Marlins/Brewers was in the 9th? Pretty sure its only the 7th there.
-
Eugeniwho?
-
Shaw!
-
Stranding RISP with 1 out in each of the first 3 innings seems less than optimal with Brown on the mound.
-
Such a good swing that went foul for strike one then the rest of the AB sucked
-
Busch is 8-49 since his ridiculous series in St Louis with a 35% K rate. I think he’s had some bad luck because I seem to remember a few hard hit balls that were outs but would love to get him going again.
-
I don't know why I just realized this, but with: -the ASB -6 game homestead coming out of the break -a day off -3 game series vs. White Sox -3 game series in Milwaukee -another day off -6 game homestead -yet another day off The Cubs are currently in a 25 day stretch where they only have to leave Chicago once, to Milwaukee for 3 days (close enough to technically sleep in their own beds if they wanted to). Of course I'm sure a lot of the team went somewhere else during the break, but cool little schedule quirk.
-
Most likely you are correct. The downside of that is taxing your bullpen a day before a big 3 game series in Milwaukee.

Assad, Taillon and Amaya All Close to Coming Off the DL
UMFan83 replied to Donzo's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
He better go hard. Even with those 2 back you still need a TOR pitcher. Not necessarily an ace but at least a 3. Especially when you consider innings walls that Boyd and Horton may hit. -
Tomorrow's starter...........Ben Brown
-
6-4 in our last 10 Sundays 🙂
-
Rumors are the DBacks are looking for pitching prospects specifically in trades. Doesn't mean it can't be done without them but it seems to be what they are pushing for.
-
My thing is, young hitters often go through a series of adjustments as pitchers learn how to exploit them. Even if Shaw has figured out something, it doesn't necessarily mean he won't go through another period of adjustments. To me I'd rather have a 50 HR righty bashing HRs than take the chance that Shaw is going through adjustments with pitchers exploiting a weakness. There is 0 chance we resign Suarez and the 3B role is almost certainly his next year. He can still get 3 starts a week to keep him in the lineup if we trade for Suarez. All that said Suarez only makes sense to me if it comes with 2-3 arms added. If they get Suarez and like a pen arm or Suarez and a back of the rotation starter, I'd much rather go a different route and ride with Shaw.

Cubs back in 1st. Thanks Miami

W. Big with a bullpen game tomorrow
