Griffin Canning supposedly for the Padres, per FG. He sucks. Shota also isn't very good. Hit more home runs, win the game.
-
I'm sure I'm jinxing this, but there are some incredible second round matchups coming if things break the way they're 'supposed to'. Germany v France on 4th of July, Portugal v Spain, Mexico v England in Mexico City are all nuts.
-
This just can’t sustain itself
-
Hit by pitches should be live balls
-
Jacob Webb is maybe a dude and it’s unfortunate we’re having to shred his arm
-
We’ve run out of pitchers to get hurt, makes sense.
-
I don’t have any idea how to build a bullpen and I don’t think the cubs do either but a lot of this mysterious brewers magic can just be explained by Devin Williams/josh hader/uribe/megill/ashby
-
This pitching situation is untenable. also my four year old, who is obsessed with PCA saw Vaughn come up and thought it was PCA, then said it looked a lot like him, and he’s not super wrong and I hate it.
-
Yeah that tracks
-
Caleb thielbar is actively bad at pitching and the fact that we’re supposed to feel some level of comfort he’s in because he’s a familiar name and used to be good is very depressing
-
Pretty bad from Ramirez there. But just win it from here
-
Nobody, especially the catcher, has any idea where these pitches are going
-
What PCA has been doing can never be discounted but if he’s our best (getting the most PAs) hitter we’re in trouble.
-
Brandon woodruff only having 55 career wins is blowing my mind because he’s absolutely beat us like 30 teams in the last ten years.
-
What I would love for them to do is realize this offensive group is elite and this year matters too and it’s ok to trade some Kepley-esque body for a Good pitcher, even if it’s 50 innings of said pitcher. the nice thing about trading your 7th best prospect is that someone automatically becomes the 7th best prospect.
-
So, just clarifying here, you believe the roster that was put together in the offseason, had they stayed healthy, would be 52-30, a 103 win pace?
-
It’s a June baseball game. I know a lot of people here are excited they finally get to watch their favorite team again but we’ll have a playoff spot tomorrow either way.
-
68.3/31.7 per FG, so pretty close
-
that's really good to know. probably need to be out there in the next month and might give it another shot.
-
Matthew Boyd (you know another IL stint is coming) Shota Steele Cabrera Brown Peterson Palencia whichever 36 year old is hot at the moment whichever 38 year old is hot at the moment Hunter Harvey?
-
Had a business trip there around memorial day. it was cold and saw tickets for a tuesday night game were going for like $9. i'd never been off manhattan and had nothing to do, so took the train over there. was surprised how empty the whole area around the park was (very much getting Sox park vibes), and then was generally pretty unimpressed by the stadium as a whole. walked in during the bottom of the first, grabbed a beer, did a lap of the upper deck and the lower deck, decided it was too cold to sit and i'd rather be eating an expensed dinner watching NHL/NBA playoffs somewhere, walked back out in the top of the third. cool story, i know.
-
can you have a playoff pitching staff made up of 13 pitchers who aren't stretched out enough (or good enough) to go longer than 2 innings
-
Ethan Roberts and Maton I guess? Thornton can probably go again, and then Jayden Murray if things go sideways if we're saving Velasquez for Friday's start. Meanwhile the Mets have no scheduled starters for next three games, and the three bullpen pitchers who didn't pitch yesterday pitched 29, 45, and 98 (Senga is a bullpen guy now I guess) pitches, so we're in the same boat I guess. Peralta loves pitching against us, but he's coming off the worst start of his career and has been generally bad for the last 6 starts, so who knows.

Breaking the unofficial 'don't link to twitter' thing to post a montage of hits (not errors) that our new pitcher has given up. https://x.com/brendan_cubs/status/2070000488838517178?s=20
