Just saw McCutchen got DFA for Nicky Lopez You got to be really having a shittty season to be dumped for him 😂😂
-
Cubs survived a Phil Maton inning pitched 😂😂😂
-
They cant keep this guy on the roster, is there any ways they can send him to Iowa and see if he can work on his pitching there ? Would he need to accept a drop down?
-
Give this guy 3 batters and then get ready to pull him as soon as it looks to go south
-
Yeh, you need at least a 3 batter cushion before sending him in 😂
-
10 !!!!! 10 runs 😂😂 🕺🕺🕺🕺
-
Watch Counsell put Maton in now and he gives up runs
-
Hey what this offense thing theyre doing tonight 😂😂
-
It only took him 10 games to have another good one, but we'll take it
-
Hopefully the bats dont go into hibernation and a couple more in them to finish this game. Taillon night should be over
-
Not saying he'll automatically be much better, but you have the kid Alcantara sitting on the bench. Suzuki 13 for 81 this month, maybe it time to just sit him for a few games 🤷
-
If he throws against our guys, theyll likely die at the warning track 🤷
-
No matter what the offense does, no lead is safe with these pitchers.
-
PCA gets the lead back
-
Lol.. At least they held the lead til the 3rd inning 🙄🙄🙄🤦🤦🤦
-
Good news, cubs finally have a lead, bad news, Taillon taking the mound 🙄🙄🙄
-
Great AB by PCA, 10 pitch walk
-
Cubs are winning a blowout tonight... 12-3 is my prediction
-
Hoyer wont fire Counsell in his 3rd year of 5, that would be admitting he made a mistake, and these are the guys he gave him to use. Plus, as much of his decision making has been head scratchers, you cant blame the guy for his rotation ending up on the IL, including a couple of their depth guys, and bullpen guys. Bats have all gone ice cold over the last 2 weeks. If this was year 4 or 5 of his deal and he had a loaded roster of guys that were favored but we're healthy and underachieving, then you look into making a managerial change to hopefully spark something with the players, but this is year 3 coming off a good season, and his pitching staff is on life support as a unit.
-
Same lineup as yesterday... I dont know why they brought up Alcantara and Ramirez just to sit on the bench, either play them or send them back to Iowa so they can continue to get steady AB. They could of just kept Lopez and brought up Kingery to sit on the bench 🙄🤷

Would i like to see Hoyer fired, Yes, will he get fired, No. Ricketts not going to fire a guy in his first year of what was probably another 5 year deal. Does he deserve to get fired after what will be his 6th season, probably. He has had close to or been over 200 mil payroll the last 4 seasons now. Team accomplishments: 4th, 3rd , and 3 second place finishes, 1 postseason appearance. His farm system is ranked in the bottom third now, he has 3 prospects ranked in the 80s, 2 are currently blocked by players under contract for next 3-6 yrs, and 1 is out injured for the season. His 5 number 1 picks: Wicks- sucks, Horton- good but out for season, Shaw- ok , likely a utility player, Smith- traded for a 1 yr player, Conrad- injured, missed first month His top Free Agent signings hasn't exactly been over the top guys, just regular players. Suzuki, Taillon, Imanaga, Stroman, Bellinger, Swanson, Bregman , Boyd, Kelly, Maton He has made some good trades, and some can argue not so good. I dont know, i think Hoyer overall hasn't done a good enough job as POBO and probably would of never gotten an extension from most other teams, but i do believe Ricketts will keep him for at least 2 more seasons of this new deal before deciding if he should be let go or not then.
-
He wasn't good enough for the Braves, i guess hes an upgrade over Maton 🤷😂
-
Lol, right, the kid just 21, he hasn't even started his pro career yet, let him recover and get fully healthy first, he'll be good to go likely by July and that fine. If he's as good as advertised, he'll jump through the system quickly
-
He cant pitch but he can probably get them fired up, get this guy in the dugout for the Cardinals series. https://x.com/i/status/2059469277241995268

Something tells me these guys would struggle scoring off of Wicks if he was pitching for the Pirates tonight 🙄😂
