Matt Mervis, Hayden Wesneski, Luke Little Called Up
chibears55 replied to Bertz's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
It would make sense if they wanna go with the lefty/righty DH option of Wisdom and Mervis -

As much as I like Canario, this team needs Happ in the lineup everyday. Hopefully it's not Happ -
Told you all he'd be back.. https://twitter.com/TommyBirch/status/1782790574761717999?t=0qE_ad-fEHs1OiYGXdKdkQ&s=19

Yea, I think that when they'll look at everything and everyone to make that decision with Kyle.. He'll have starts against Boston, the Mets, and SD over the next 3 weeks, so, I dont know if he comes away looking better but yea, there's really nobody else available to plug into those starts other the Brown right now, Brown may be better off as a stand by in those starts to go if Hendricks fails to get to 5 innings.

Nobody said it wasn't relevant, it very much is and it shows that after reaching base 12 times in the first 24 PA due to 8 walks, he has reached base only 8 times in 31 PA since with just 1 walk. So, he hasn't been the same player he was in the beginning when fans were complimenting him and his OBP, he has dropped significantly in getting on base. But again, I'm not thrashing him because he has played ok for being a 4th OFer, just saying we can't keep pointing to his OBP as being significant for him because it hasn't been that great in his last 31 PA a .258 OBP
-
What are you even asking ?
-
Yes, Caissie and even PCA when he gets ot going again are likely to spend the season in Iowa unless there's another significant injury later in season to an Outfielder. Hoyer will have a decision to make in offseason with all the Outfielders both on Cubs and their top prospects in Iowa and maybe even Alcantara.
-
There's a difference in having guys who come off the bench here and there to spell someone a day off or PH now and then, and being depth to fill a position spot for a week(s) or month because of an injury. Those guys are not ones you want filling in everyday and getting 20+ AB a week because of an injury to a starter, cause the more they play everyday the more you see their weaknesses. Everyone keeps bringing up Tauchman OBP, he hasn't been bad lately, but realize his OBP was actually at .500 11 days ago because he was walked 8 times in his first 8 games, he has 1 walk since (11 games) and as we see his OBP has dropped significantly. I'm not thrashing Tauchman, but he's not a guy you want to give AB to everyday like they have been giving him between OF and DH, 2 starts a week is good for him as a 4th OFer.
-
Future depth is good, not the current one.. Mastrobuoni, Madrigal, Cooper, Tauchman, and even Gomes now haven't exactly been guys you feel confident in when they start games. Wisdom is even off to a rough start so far. The pitching depth, yes taking a clearer look, I shouldn't of added them to that statement I made.
-
They're due for a bit of bad luck/slump, the key will be when they do will the cubs be clicking to take advantage. Plus, outside of the Orioles, their opponents to date hasn't been all that great.
-
Yep, game 1 yesterday hurt. Figured today was going to be a going toss because it was likely gonna be in the hands of the offense to put up a bunch of runs to win it.
-
Yep, gotta hope he can turn it around and the bullpen as a whole can start to settle in until they can start adding outside upgrades. Maybe tomorrow Hoyer and Company should get together and see what they can do to readjust the 8 man pen with a few changes. Bring up a couple guys like Wesneski, maybe Wieck or whoever to give them the opportunity to get the job done. Keegan has stepped up so far, Little been ok, needs to get better with control, Hoyer needs to find the best 8 right now to go with between Iowa, the Cubs, and maybe look at someone from Tennessee.
-
Yea, some guys should only see 10-20 AB a month, not in a week.. Their 0fers don't stick out as much
-
Cause he has had success as one and they dont really have a guy now... Not sure if they have a potential one in the minors at Iowa or Tennessee, so they might have to wait til July to get one if still needed via trade.
-
Fair to say, Hoyer did a terrible job with the immediate depth on both sides, hitters and pitchers.
-
Cooper looks like a guy who should be slugging 40 bombs a year, not being a scrub bench guy
-
Could of used that hit by Morel in any of those previous 3 ABs, hopefully this one can at least start a good rally
-
This is a winnable game if the bats, other then Nico, can actually get a few of these baserunners home.
-
I'll be shocked if he starts Saturday in Boston
-
Another wasted opportunity to put runs/more runs on the board.. Now, Marlins are gonna get the 2 runs back and maybe more..lol
-
Morel with yet another opportunity
-
A split at home against this Marlins club is pitiful.
-
4 hits in a row, he's done, he just can't get through an order twice.
-
Nope
-
A gapper would be nice here
