Great job by Caleb after the initial walk.
-
Right. But it's also pretty fair to think that by misdiagnosing it, they didn't properly treat the root cause. By getting a more accurate image this time. and knowing it's a stress fracture versus something else, it's more likely they fix it. Who knows if he'll be back this year, and neck issues can be a problem, but this is a bone thing more than anything. And I can't remember a single pitcher who's career was derailed entirely by a stress fracture, though I'm just going off of my memory here.

I remain a Caleb Thiebar truther. 115 Stuff+, fasbtall velo up a bit from last year, 29 K%. Something is off location wise a bit, his walks are up...but I think he can still be good. But you can see with the fastball he's just off a bit. Not surprising, he's got a lot of moving parts when he throws and falls off the mound. Got out of it there. Alright.
-
I wouldn't put Wilson in a rotation, but when he was first out of the pen he was gunning 94-95mph with regularity. I'd be interested in seeing him in a middle relief role.
-
Good job. Bregman. Great scoop for Busch.
-
This feels like one inning too many for Wilson.
-
Swanson has smoked two today. He has earned a bloop RBI single here.
-
Bregman's lollygagging aside today, the team has some grit to it. They've had a lot of injuries, they faced a lot of adversity but they find a way. This inning feels like a good, gritty inning. Just get one more and give the pen a lead to defend. At least give them the chance.
-
And a balk? Thank you, Aaron.
-
Tie ball game! finally one bounce.
-
Okay, there you go! Big job.
-
Okay, need to run into one here, more than likely. Tough to string walks/hits together.
-
...I mean that's exactly what I said? That's why it's a bad look. So...yeah. I agree. He probably should have run that one out.
-
Frustrating Bregman didn't hustle. I can forgive a guy going through it at the plate; that's baseball. And I'm not one of these "you have to run out a popfly to 2b" types. But that's a bad look for a guy who isn't ingratiating himself to the team offensively.
-
Ugh. That's just how today has gone so far. Woodruff has 6 whiffs. The Cubs have the 3-6th hardest hit balls in the game with only one hit to show for it and the SS boots it but it bounces right up into his throwing hand.
-
Wilson has been good. Wicks is here to eat innings but if Wilson is eating innings, then you don't need Wicks to as well.
-
It would certainly help. But a good reminder: both have been pretty terrible lately and the Cubs have managed to win 10 of 14 games and have gone toe-to-toe with Milwaukee this weekend through their three best SPs. They're competing with a playoff team right now without them. The best version of the Cubs has both of them hitting well. But even with them being not good, the Cubs are still in there.
-
In their defense, their catchers challenge seemingly everything so they're used to it. (I do agree the Cubs hitters probably need more latitude however)
-
Ah. Damn. Hit it hard.
-
That was a solid back to back for Wilson. Maybe the Cubs can find a middle reliever out of him.
-
Okay Bryse. Nice three pitch combo to Chourio.
-
Outside guess is that he's in a mentally bad place at the moment and just guessing. I'm not sure he knows what he's looking for either. I'm not usually a "change the lineup" guy, and I'm definitely not a "guy hits better in one spot in the order" guy, but dropping him and letting him work through things might help. If mentally he's horsefeathered right now, hitting 7th night help him take the edge off for a bit.

Milwaukee sucks at challenges. Yeesh.
