  1. I would not move up the timeline on the Triple-A arms in the rotation. That sounds like a short-term fix that ends poorly. Jordan Wicks and Cade Horton are probably the two best arms in Iowa, but both are coming off heavily injury shortened seasons and neither have had a perfect start to the year: - Cade Horton has struggled to get over the 50 pitch hump. He's struggled for consistency. The stuff is there, but he's almost assuredly not ready for a bit - Jordan Wicks is probably further ahead, but I'm not entirely sure I'd move his timeline up yet unless it's in a piggyback role. His first start was not great, and Colin Rea looked pretty good. I think letting him marinate, get into a rhythm and being on high alert for an injury is how I'd handle it.
  2. He had offseason core surgery. He ended up missing time during ST camp (almost all of it). Likely to do with that.
  3. His PA's can be pretty ugly. He had a nice walk that got called a strike-three and his single was on a two strike count. Both were fine. Two strikeouts? Not so pretty. He's very up and down.
  4. In Shaw's defense, one of his strikeouts was a walk tonight and he has a hit. That said, ****** PA. One of those ground balls would have been nice there.
  5. Swanson's "quiet" start offensively this year.
  6. Merryweather and Roberts want to be in the Trust Tree
  7. You know what they say, 23 is the new 55. Frankly, I think he should retire, the geezer.
  8. Shaw's been good defensively tonight at least.
  9. Kelly left with a "hand contusion" per Montemurro - hopefully all it is.
  10. Zahir Hope....s he's as good as Michael Busch...am I right?!?
  11. Don't worry, Craig. I'll pitch for the Cubs. (I assume they're going to ask me. We all agree they want me to join to rotation, right?)
  12. Kevin would be first up, yes. He might give Pete a day or two off.
  13. Yeah, but like, is there a better murder plot? Do you even know the Cubs 1st base coaches name? I dont. He could murder that guy on live TV and I couldn't tell you who he killed. Perfect crime? Maybe.
  14. I swear if I go from "Cubs maybe sign Tucker?" To "Cubs def don't sign Tucker, also Seiya hurt" in 2 hours, I'll be really bummed, man.
  15. Well, time to hope his stomach is a rumblin' and he's just pooping a bunch. (I hate that my copium is "maybe he has the poops")
  16. Sasaki can, and probably will be a good SP in the future. Right now, he's not good. Ignore the velo - he is just piping horsefeathers. Cubs are hitting him hard. xBA over .300 Red are fastballs. He is just piping it. Cubs need to take advantage of this.
