This rotation been holding together by duct tape the first 3 months and it starting to become undone lately. 34 yo Boyd been having a career year so far, hopefully it continues. 34 yo Rea belongs in the bullpen and theres no guarentee he'll be any good there either. 33 yo Taillon is looking more like 2023 Taillon then 2024 Taillon. Horton has 9 career starts now and is like most rookie pitchers having up and down games, been pretty good but has struggled now in 3 of last 4 starts. So basically it been Imanaga, Boyd and pray for offense and a good bullpen day. Hoyer will need to decide how much of and who of the current prospects hes willing to give up to upgrade the rotation, they definitely need a TOR guy and it wouldn't be a bad thing if they got another to take Horton spot, more to not over work Horton the final 2 months of season and to limit his innings.

Who the heck voting for Carson Kelly as an All Star as he made it to the second round 😅
-
Might as well been , at least he was able to catch his breath for the next 3 batters before going to play short 🙄
-
Brewers are always a threat but they tend to not improve on their roster much if at all at the deadline, so the Cubs or even the Cardinals if they choose to add to payroll ( I dont think they will this season) can upgrade enough to pass them or distance themselves from the Brewers eventually.
-
I dont know the Astros SP situation but yea i would guess they could be thinking because of Rea being on the mound they could afford going with a bullpen game or sn opener and first time Starter from their system.

Yes, I think Jed sacrificed a future piece to bring in the best hitter available that also fit under the budget for 1 year to compete. Now that theyre in a very good position to not just win a weakened division but also now compete for a league championship and go to the WS, Jed might have to give up their best prospect in Caissie to get an elite SP to continue to keep that opportunity strong in the second half of season. Here the downside to that.. If they dont win the WS and they also end up not resigning Tucker, now they not only end up on losing Cam for a 1 year rental but now they lose Caissie who is probably the current back up plan for losing out on Tucker to FA. So, I know prospects are crap shoot but damn can you imagine in 3 years we're watching both Cam Smith and Owen Caissie turning into All Stars and top players in the league for 1 year of good baseball, that would be the Cubs luck.🤦♂️

Are there more starting lefty pitchers then usual this season, just seems like theyre always facing a lefty.
-
This time it looked like Palencia barked at him during his celebration, unless he was responding to something WC was saying to him. 😅
-
Palencia is a dude.. W 4 games in St. Louis off the schedule and lose no ground. Gave up 16 runs the first 2 games and shut them out the next 2, now that how you rebound.
-
He wanted to hit a 5 run homer 😅 He always gets mad when he gets hit
-
Not a good start here, come on Palencia finish this.
-
Hot damn, PCA almost overran that
-
Need a DP here
-
Yea, as much as I like Shaw and his glove, I think it will be best for him to go back down and really put some work in with the bat and be ready for 2026. Obviously they'll need to go get another 3Bmen beforehand and im really hoping now that Hoyer can get Suarez who could be back tomorrow, sooner rather then later.
-
Great job by Imanaga, hes likely done if hes on a pitch count. Hopefully we have the good bullpen today and the bats can add on a few more.
-
Arenado is human, he missed one 😅
-
4 games in a row for JD and Boog, they definitely not going to Houston this weekend 😅🤣
-
Busch get them on the board
-
Didn't know it was a day game today Get this one and it'll be like nothing happened in boring St.Louis this week 😏😏
-
2 out of 3 ain't bad.. Boyd shut them down Offense was on Nothing big from PCA though Nice easy W, let do the same tomorrow with Imanaga return.
-
Getting that much needed start out of Boyd tonight, hopefully he can go 7
-
He cant hit right now but he sure can pick it and throw it at 3B... Shaw
-
Big getting out of that giving up nothing and keeping momentum. Let Go
-
Tucker... Cubs got the HR bats going tonight
-
He hasn't sucked and is holding his own, that all you can ask for. It will kinda suck if they let him go when Amaya returns unless they decide to keep 3 catchers and place Turner on a long IL stint til like September 1st when rosters expand.
