    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.
  2. 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 🙄

    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

    Happ and Kelly... terrible AB Busch too First and third ni outs , 3 pop ups
  8. 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

    Im guessing Assad or Rea will get the next couple of starts, but beyond that is it too soon for Wiggins.
  10. chibears55
    I know, but he wasn't crying when walking off field, that all I was pointing out
  11. chibears55
    He wasn't crying

  15. chibears55

    Amaya DH today against the lefty

    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
  19. 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.

    Nats released Mervis
  21. chibears55
    That i agree with as far as trading him in the offseason. Shaw could be a piece that could net them a good pitcher for 2027, especially if he puts up some good numbers this season.
  22. chibears55
    Exactly, I dont think they can afford to trade Shaw now, hes the only one they can rely upon off the bench. (Catchers aside) They obviously don't plan on using Kingery or Carlson much in any situations, and Conforto is garbage. Maybe theyll give Carlson an opportunity this weekend over Conforto, and I think at some point later in year we might see a couple guys from Iowa brought up and given an opportunity.

    Off topic question... Somehow I got logged out of X and when trying to log back in it asks for a verification code from a generator app. Has anyone experienced this and or know how to get back in ?
  24. chibears55
    W number 3 97 to go
  25. chibears55
    Damn, don't remember seeing a team struggle a whole series catching flyballs like the Nats in this one
