  1. Right, I can see missing 1 start, but an IL stint 🤔
  2. This cubs lineup would probably be striking out an average 10-12 times a game facing most of the pitching back in the 80s and 90s , getting shutout left and right given how they can struggle hard against teams 3-5 in their rotation now. 😂😂
  3. Counsell will probably only use Alcantara against lefties.
  4. Wicks called up.. Have to say, I dont recall seeing someone go on IL because of a blister. Guess pickle juice doesn't work anymore 😂
  5. No Happ and Swanson.. Lets win a ballgame today, enough of this BS
  6. We'll see.. Point is why bring them up if theyre not going to play, im not talking about starting every game for now on, but theyre here. Counsell the one who wanted to shake this up, then play them. These two kids aren't Nicki lopez where you just sit them until whenever, they need AB, and if not with the Cubs then send them back to Iowa and bring up 2 other kids to sit on bench. This offense needs a spark right now, play them for a couple games and see if they can provide some, or he can just continue with what hasn't worked for the last 2 weeks and stick with the same guys. We've seen kids come up plenty of times and reignited an offense/pitching/teams over the years to get them rolling, it wont hurt to see if one or both can do that for them now that theyre here.
  7. Who said they would ? They brought them up, Counsell mentioned shaking up the lineup, then shake it up and play them.
  8. If he really wanted to shake it up, he plays Alcantara, Ramirez, and Conforto tomorrow. Benching Happ for Conforto wasn't much of a shakeup to the lineup.
  9. Counsell gonna really shake things up tomorrow and bench Suzuki for Happ and Amaya for Kelly 🙄🙄🙄😂
  10. So if you cant beat one of the worst team in baseball at home, does that make you one of the worst team in baseball 🤔
  11. Hey Bregman got a hit, 2 outs in the 9th but he got a hit
  12. Outside of moving pca to leadoff, it wasn't even much of a shuffle, he just dropped Hoerner and Suzuki a couple spots and flipped Busch and Bregman 🙄
  13. Who had Rea looking like a SP from the past going 7 innings with 3 runs.. Awesome game today and only needed Swanson once today, with his 4 ground outs 🤷🙄 lol
  14. If not full, they will play eventually. Way too much money to leave on the table for both sides to sit out the whole season
  15. Right, nobody expected them to continue playing 870 baseball, but to follow that up with going 2-10 if they end up losing this one is nuts. It not like teams are just playing better and beating them, the Cubs have just plain sucked with both pitching and mostly hitting the last 2 weeks. You finally get a good outing from Rea today and the bats continue to look like crap getting shutout.
  16. Too late for this season, but for next season, unless trades are made to move guys under contract, they have 3 spots they can make changes to, DH LF and RF.
  17. Pitching injuries finally caught up to them , as the depth has shown to be awful. The offense as a whole, along with some individuals is a bit of a surprise to be as bad as it been. They have some good hitters, they just dont have guys who can carry them or step up when needed.
  18. Took 4 innings for Swanson to get his first groundball 😂
  19. I was hoping they had a little urgency going into todays game and surprised us🤷
  20. They keep playing like this another 2 weeks, the conversation might turn into will they be sellers in July
  21. 1 more run for the Astros should just about do it 🤔🙄🙄🙄
  22. You need guys that can actually square pitches up to get that
  23. Lotta groundballs today for the Astros 🙄🙄🙄
