  1. He had a good 2nd start and is up to 4 innings pitched, guessing hes at least 2 more Iowa starts away from returning.
  2. Bats gonna need to get at least 5-6 tonight, hoping Wicks can go at least 4 without giving up 5 🙄
  3. Well, let see how many Wicks gives up here after failing to score
  4. Counsell should just go with Happ and Bregman hitting 1-2, and have Hoerner Busch and Kelly hit 3-4-5 🤷🙄
  5. Should be an interesting broadcast tonight with these guys.
  6. They will likely get a bat for DH, especially if Ballesteros doesn't turn it around in the next month. It would be nice if it could be someone that can take over an OF spot thatll open up in offseason, we'll know more of who'll be available come the break.
  7. Cubs have some new guy DH tonight 🙄😅 Let's Go Need a good start from Wicks and the bats to go off early and often
  8. They might be done with him as a starter for now, but they have 4 more years of control with him, they might just see if he can give them anything from the bullpen going forward.
  9. Final line for Matthew Boyd in his rehab start with the @IowaCubs in Indianapolis today: 4 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K. 63 pitches. 41 for strikes. Be interesting to see if they give him 1 more start this week before bringing him back, if so, then that will mean 1 more start for Wicks on Saturday.
  10. Since my Cubs Fandom started in late 70s, and dealt with them birds in the 80s, my total dislike leans more towards the Cardinals. Brewers are just a more recent annoyance and dislike but nit as deep and as much as the Cardinals.
  11. Why i said Imanaga and Cabrera need to show me more before the deadline. If they step it up and start pitching better then a rotation of.... Skubal/TOR guy, Brown, Cabrera, Imanaga and Boyd/Steele to finish out the season can be pretty good.
  12. I wouldn't trade those guys no matter what their value is now, they need them for next season and beyond (if theres a 2027 season). They have to replace Imanaga, Boyd, Taillon, and Rea in the rotation this offseason/2027. Steele has 1 year of control left before hes a FA, Cabrera 2 more years before hes a FA, so Brown the only starter they have control of for more than 2 years.
  13. Skubal or another legit TOR like him would be exactly what they need for the rotation side of it. Brown right now is their only legit starter I have confidence in, hopefully he'll be able to hold up the rest of year. Imanaga and Cabrera will need to show me more heading into the deadline, and id probably still be iffy with them, unless they really turn it on. Taillon can get DFA for all I care, and id prefer Rea in the bullpen. Steele, I think since his return will be later than they hoped, I think theyll play it cautious with him or at least should imo, and just have him pitch a handful of games in August/September and then shut him down. Let him go through a normal offseason and be 100% ready for whenever 2027 begins. So if they can stay afloat and start winning consistently again between now and the deadline, getting Skubal or a TOR like him, Id be confident in the rotation going forward. Skubal, Brown, Cabrera, Imanaga, Boyd and Steele.
  14. Not only that but the ones in the front row were cubs fans that got the ball 😅😂
  15. Nice Big W Brown was awesome and PCA had a day Wicks tomorrow 🤞🤞🤞
  16. LMAO, did that dude just like totally whiff on his throw back and end up giving the ball to a cubs fan in the bottom row 😂 🤣 😅
