Happ with a i need to go home and do my podcast type of AB there 🙄🙄
-
And guys on the bench that cant hit a lick.
-
That AB was predictable... Come on Happ, do something today
-
Lmao, Brujan in to PH. They scared now Damn Busch, just a single would of been good there
-
Ok, here we go, got a break with Nico ball, let cash in. Here's the difference, Astros manager not pressing his luck here and pulling Valdez and hes been dominating today.
-
Im sure we'd be reading complaints had a pen arm gave up the runs. Just saying CC and Hottovy should of had that planned ahead of time with him already in the 90s pitches. no matter who was up which was actually Paredes after a leadoff single. Ok, he pressed it and let him get Paredes and he flied out to RF, but then he hit the press your luck button again with Meyers and got lucky again, doing it a third time, he was just asking for that Whammy 😅
-
Just gotta keep them at 2 and just hope they can score eventually, it only takes 1 baserunner and a deep one.
-
You give him 1 baserunner and dont press your luck and I mentioned that before the HR.
-
Cubs hitters are ready to leave Houston They dont want no part of Valdez today
-
Bats gotta respond with at least 1 this inning
-
Yep, knew it would happen Why let him face the top of order again and being over 100 pitches. CC played press your luck and got Whammied Dumb
-
Take him out now, dont push your luck
-
Yep, they just up there swinging at anything close to the plate.
-
Taillon last inning, question is will he finish and finish without giving up a run.
-
Getting guys in scoring position, gotta start cashing them in
-
Sure, for last season 🤷♂️😅
-
Taillon gonna shock us all today and have a QS. Bats will do just enough to get this W 4-2 Cubs
-
This is type of deal where Hoyer needs to be creative and make it like hes doing the Pirates a favor by taking Keller with a Bednar trade, who would be a great addition to the bullpen. Keller would be good to help keep the work load off of Horton in September and actually they could just shut Horton down for the season then. Also, this cannot end up being the only SP they get cause they definitely need another top guy to go with Imanaga and Boyd.
-
Yea, Brewers just find a way to be a gnat in that division. Cubs just need to beat them head to head, hope the remaining games on schedule evens out at worse.
-
If Tucker is not resigned, then this is where I can see the direction Hoyer and especially a new POBO if Hoyer doesn't return go. I think we'll likely see them request trade approval by one or both of Happ and Suzuki in offseason and next year deadline in their final contract year, and others. They will then bring up their prospects like Caissie, Alcantara, Ballesteros, etc. to play the 2026 season. Obviously with the unknown of 2027 because of a potential stoppage, that could be the potential plan IF Tucker doesn't return.
-
Right, i dont expect either to really upgrade much if at all at the deadline, while the Cubs should be upgrading. Cubs need to just take care of them head to head and everything else will fall in place in the second half.
-
I doubt TR approval came with the thoughts of resigning him long term, it came because Tucker was a stud player with an affordable price tag for the upcoming season. I dont feel like TR gets involved with the transactional part of the game as far as who Hoyer signs or trades he makes, I feel like he just sets the budget for the year and Hoyer does what he can to stay under it. Now at the deadline, IF Hoyer wants to add a player (s) that his remaining cost will put them over that budget, he'll need to seek approval to do so. So, I think maybe it not TR but maybe Hoyer who may not of made that trade without feeling like he could convince Tucker to stay and TR to approve the cost to keep him. We'll see, like you said they do have a decent shot as long as they keep winning and he enjoys being in Chicago and his teammates, anything can happen. Question will be, will it be Hoyer or someone else making that offer for the Cubs
-
Needed a baserunner for Tucker to have another shot at a cycle
-
Correct me if im wrong but wasn't Cam Smith going to be starting the season in AA with the Cubs had it not been for the trade ? I have some doubt that Hoyer had him scheduled for a fast track to majors for this season in December after only 20 PA in AA.
