    Be nice to get a sweep today and carry the momentum into the next series. Going on a 7-3, 8-2 run could be just what they need to get rolling
  2. chibears55
    That a little surprising but ill take 6 hours of cubs baseball on Easter... lol
  3. chibears55
    Guessing theyll cancel it, and doubt theyll do 2 tomorrow cause it getaway day/Easter and both teams play Monday. Theyll likely reschedule later in season when both teams have a day off together

    Ill take the under, itll get rained out..lol

    Makes sense bringing up a pen arm for now, then if they plan on starting Assad on Wednesday over Rea, they can just bring him up then.

    My worry is more with Shaw and Ballesteros, you never know what youre going to get out of young guys in year 2 or in Ballesteros case his first full season. At least with Shaw he'll be relegated to the bench once Suzuki returns but Ballesteros is being counted on to be the full time DH and right now theres nobody to replace him if he continues to struggle. Hopefully he gets going this weekend

    Ok, but that has nothing to do with my response to OP Yea of course these guys are gonna start hitting, my response was to OP as to the early struggle.
  8. chibears55
    Yep... Ballesteros their main DH is struggling out of the gate with just 3 hits. Bregman has had one good game when he homered twice. Happ outside of his 3 homers, only has 2 other hits. Swanson has been invisible with just 3 hits. These guys need to get it going to get the offense moving

    MLB pitchers experiencing wrist and forearm discomfort are often suffering from flexor-pronator mass strain or tendonitis, frequently caused by overuse or improper mechanics. This soreness, sometimes described as "forearm shin splints," indicates a need for immediate rest, workload reduction, and potential examination to rule out serious injuries like UCL damage or ulnar nerve irritation.

    Happ 14 Ks in 31 AB this season 🙄
  11. chibears55
    This one over

    Mentioned this the other day, just got reminded after 4 in a row, Cubs seem to be hitting a ton of pop ups in these early games. A few have fallen but damn are they all just really late on the ball and getting under it too much this early in season
  13. chibears55
    Happ and Kelly... terrible AB Busch too First and third ni outs , 3 pop ups
  14. chibears55
    So with forearm discomfort im reading 1-2 weeks if it minor soreness 4-6 weeks if it a strain Up to 9 weeks or longer if it an underlying ucl injury is present Ugggh
  15. chibears55
    Im guessing Assad or Rea will get the next couple of starts, but beyond that is it too soon for Wiggins.
  16. chibears55
    I know, but he wasn't crying when walking off field, that all I was pointing out
  17. chibears55
    He wasn't crying
  18. chibears55
    Bregman and Happ 🙄🙄🙄🤦
  19. chibears55
    Damn my X account still wont let me log in
  20. chibears55
    So Assad comes back up Hopefully it not his arm
  21. chibears55
    That not good If they lose Horton for a good period of time it gonna be really bad for them
  22. chibears55
    Joey Cantillo mowing them down 😅
  23. chibears55
    Amaya DH today against the lefty
  24. chibears55
    Didn't say theyd be as good, I said that they also have those two guys in iowa they can use next season to replace Shaw if they dont add someone else. No there's no sure thing for utility players, but it doesn't help adding guys that are bottom of the list choices. My personal preference for a bench... You have 3 utility bats outside of backup catcher, At least 1 guy should be like the 10th man that can play multiple positions and be a good enough hitter. This year it Shaw The other two guys should be a mix of either defense, power, or speed
  25. chibears55
    I would hope if they trade Shaw in offseason, that theyd do a better job with adding bench guys then they have the last couple years. Let not forget they also have Triantos in Iowa who can play OF and IF, and also Cowles. So if theres a trade to be made for Shaw in offseason to improve team elsewhere, they have a couple guys who are capable to replace him from Iowa if not elsewhere.
