  1. I was reading where they mentioned that in 2023, there were more pitchers needing TJS in that one year then the entire decade of the 1990s... I get that there are more pitchers today throwing faster then before is part of the cause, but I do believe the limitations they put on these guys early on and increase weight training they do now has alot to do with these injuries increasing.
  2. Pen and inconsistent offense, the schedule gets tougher next week, they can find themselves 10 back of Brewers in May if they dont get it going.
  3. Starting to give me Brailyn Marquez vibes now, another solid young starter getting bit by the injury bug. It like the Mark Prior curse 🙄🙄🙄😕
  4. Likely because of facing LH starters starters and starting 3 for 20 with 8 Ks, and hopefully it just to work a bit with him readjusting some things early. Carlson Conforto Kingery, are showing the reasons why I always bellyache about bench bats. They're not important until they are, im not saying you need 300 hitters on the bench, just guys who are capable enough to fill in when needed. These guys and most others that Hoyer has brought in, couldn't hit their way out of a wet paper bag.
  5. Im guessing it 5 years again, so probably thru the 2030 season.
  6. That'll be likely when Hoyer leaves and the new guy takes building a bullpen more seriously in the offseason
  7. I thought Bigge was already pitching when he PH for Conforto 🤷
  8. Im confused a bit, is Counsell using the DH spot to get guys AB today or something? PH Amaya for Conforto, PH Conforto for Carlson against a RHer
  9. I hate not being able to log into X cause I cant get in game info. Did Amaya get hurt
  10. Obviously it gonna get better but when half the regulars aren't even giving them 1 for 5 on average, 10 games into the season, it not overreacting it disappointing. They're lucky to be 4-5 right now, because if things dont pick up for them by next week, schedule is going to get alot tougher the rest of month.
  11. Depending on how long this CBA takes, we just might see guys returning on 1 year deals
  12. April baseball gonna suck this year isnt it Phillies Mets Dodger Padres all coming up
  13. Amaya stayed patience took a walk and Nico came through with the big hit.. Cubs 2 best hitters so far
  14. Strike 3 and pops it up has been the most used words so far from Boog this year when the Cubs bat. 🙄🙄😅
  15. Didn't expect to lose 2 starters before going through the rotation twice 🤦 WTF were these guys doing during ST May cant come soon enough to get Steele back
  16. Another one 🤦
  17. When you see most of the lineup struggling with 5 guys hitting under 200 and 3 others under 250, and 6 of them with OBP under .280, you dont really need to look at anything else to know theyre struggling offensively. Eventually it gonna turn around, just hope it sooner rather than later, they need to take some pressure off the pitching, especially the bullpen.
  18. Same, it great to see who available for game and series
  19. Gonna need a big start out of Taillon tonight, hopefully he can go 6. Bats need to step it up and get going this series. Waiting to see if Brown or someone else goes down for a fresh arm to come up for this series.
  20. Brewers swept the Whitesox and took 2 of 3 from Rays and Royals, so they haven't exactly beaten the AL best so far. Cubs bats are still in ST mode and the bottom end bullpen arms are exactly what we expected, trash to start the season. Hopefully the bats can figure it out, take some pressure off the bullpen and score a bunch of runs this week, otherwise the rest of this month could be brutal facing Phillies Mets Dodgers and Padres 🤦
