8 man pen, coming off a day off, with a day off in each of the next two weeks, I get that Assad has been effective and is stretched out but not sure I love him getting a 2nd inning
They showed up for me in the app for both Roku and iPad. If you haven't, set the Cubs as your favorite team in your MLB.com account, because of that I had the I-Cubs game specifically called out in one of the first rows of content.
I moved/merged them. This doesn't have to be the singular thread for the whole year but I kept the overarching title so no one felt obligated to start a new one if the current thread was working fine for the purpose.
Slaughter did make Iowa after all. Of course, he has to fight Morel and Bote for time at 3B, Mervis and Young for time at 1B plus a couple OF for time at DH, but that's a testament to the depth that's there.
Remember if you have MLB.tv you also have access to minor league games too. A quick scan of the schedule seemed to imply all 4 levels will be televised(I didn't see a Cubs MiLB game in the first week or so that wasn't listed) so you can likely count on most every game being available.
Miles Mikolas turns 35 in August, and since his first year back from overseas has missed about 30% of available starts and pitched at a 2.5 win pace when he has been healthy. The Cardinals just extended him for 2/40 for '24-'25 and he is rewarding them by giving up nearly as many runs as he has outs so far.
It's a bad swing decision, but Bellinger getting the barrel to the 92 mph cutter well off the inside is probably a good thing for his mechanical corrections?
That is extremely flattering to the point of making me uncomfortable, but the takes being simple/bad is unsurprising. I remember one of my earliest posts advocating for trading for Lew Ford as the CF of the future. Curiosity and posting through it can take you a long way!
