Lol.. At least they held the lead til the 3rd inning 🙄🙄🙄🤦🤦🤦
-
Good news, cubs finally have a lead, bad news, Taillon taking the mound 🙄🙄🙄
-
Great AB by PCA, 10 pitch walk
-
Cubs are winning a blowout tonight... 12-3 is my prediction
-
Hoyer wont fire Counsell in his 3rd year of 5, that would be admitting he made a mistake, and these are the guys he gave him to use. Plus, as much of his decision making has been head scratchers, you cant blame the guy for his rotation ending up on the IL, including a couple of their depth guys, and bullpen guys. Bats have all gone ice cold over the last 2 weeks. If this was year 4 or 5 of his deal and he had a loaded roster of guys that were favored but we're healthy and underachieving, then you look into making a managerial change to hopefully spark something with the players, but this is year 3 coming off a good season, and his pitching staff is on life support as a unit.

Same lineup as yesterday... I dont know why they brought up Alcantara and Ramirez just to sit on the bench, either play them or send them back to Iowa so they can continue to get steady AB. They could of just kept Lopez and brought up Kingery to sit on the bench 🙄🤷

Would i like to see Hoyer fired, Yes, will he get fired, No. Ricketts not going to fire a guy in his first year of what was probably another 5 year deal. Does he deserve to get fired after what will be his 6th season, probably. He has had close to or been over 200 mil payroll the last 4 seasons now. Team accomplishments: 4th, 3rd , and 3 second place finishes, 1 postseason appearance. His farm system is ranked in the bottom third now, he has 3 prospects ranked in the 80s, 2 are currently blocked by players under contract for next 3-6 yrs, and 1 is out injured for the season. His 5 number 1 picks: Wicks- sucks, Horton- good but out for season, Shaw- ok , likely a utility player, Smith- traded for a 1 yr player, Conrad- injured, missed first month His top Free Agent signings hasn't exactly been over the top guys, just regular players. Suzuki, Taillon, Imanaga, Stroman, Bellinger, Swanson, Bregman , Boyd, Kelly, Maton He has made some good trades, and some can argue not so good. I dont know, i think Hoyer overall hasn't done a good enough job as POBO and probably would of never gotten an extension from most other teams, but i do believe Ricketts will keep him for at least 2 more seasons of this new deal before deciding if he should be let go or not then.
-
He wasn't good enough for the Braves, i guess hes an upgrade over Maton 🤷😂
-
Lol, right, the kid just 21, he hasn't even started his pro career yet, let him recover and get fully healthy first, he'll be good to go likely by July and that fine. If he's as good as advertised, he'll jump through the system quickly
-
He cant pitch but he can probably get them fired up, get this guy in the dugout for the Cardinals series. https://x.com/i/status/2059469277241995268
-
Something tells me these guys would struggle scoring off of Wicks if he was pitching for the Pirates tonight 🙄😂
-
Bad decision by Happ, down 4 and only 1 out.. Im out, ill check score later
-
Spot a team 5 in the first and then ask an offense that has only scored 5 in a game four times in last 16 games
-
When they lose this one, they're just going 1-6 in next 7 away from going 20-3 and following that with 3-20.. How pathetic is that
-
Lol, this one is all but over, doubt they have 4-5 runs in this offense tonight. Ill check on score later
-
When it relates to the Cubs, I just see RIP 😂
-
Counsell goes back to original order outside of PCA leading off, dropping everyone else down 1 spot. 🙄🙄🙄
-
Asshat will pitch a complete game shutout with 12 Ks 🤷🙄
-
Im getting close to leaning this way, but they have 43 games left until the break, and it mostly against teams they should be able to beat. A currently struggling offense aside, I just dont know if the pitching overall can hold up until guys return from injuries and they actually make trades. I think if they can win around 25 of these next 43 and stay in range, then it'll be worth making those type of moves, but if they play 500 or below to the break, I think Hoyer should do what he needs to do to get guys like Alcantara, Ramirez, etc up and playing out the second half to see if theyll be part of 2027.
-
If Hoyer wants to try and save the season, although it very very hard and unlikely with this rotation/pitching, a manager change is his best route right now.
-
That 20-3 run is melting away 2-13 , 9 Ls in a row I mean can they really flip that and go 3-20 🤮🤮🤮
-
Ok, guess Google needs to be made aware of it... lmao Yes, Jim Deshaies qualifies for Major League Baseball pension benefits.To vest in the MLB Pension Plan, a player needs a minimum of 43 days of Major League service time. Deshaies pitched in the majors for 12 seasons (1984–1995), accumulating well over 10 years of service time, which qualifies him to receive a full vested pension. I did see now what youre saying, only 9 full seasons and 3 with just 2 starts each year.
-
How would you rate Hoyer top FA signings.. Taillon, Imanaga, Swanson, Maton, Bellinger, Bregman
-
Guess he's not having his best season with the bat anymore 🙄
-
Let's see if these bats can show some urgency these last couple innings
