  1. Hoerner in the lineup today, hopefully he'll be ready to go come next week.
  2. Right, this season the trade is what it is but if the Cubs can't extend Tucker and this kid goes on to have a pretty good career, it'll be another trade Cubs fans will look back on and frown upon.
  3. It was good enough to score 10 off the Cubs 🤷‍♂️😅
  4. For me it not that they loss but how they looked losing those games. It basically looked like games 163 and 164 off of last season with the hitters, couldn't hit in clutch, lots of strikeouts. Their 2 best hitters Tucker and Suzuki combined for 1 hit and 2 BB in 18 PA Overall pitching was ok, but sucked to see Steele get rocked
  5. It ST for the Dodgers too, hate to see what the scores would of been if both Freeman and Betts were playing. Just shows how much far behind the Cubs are to the Dodgers talent wise at this point in the season, I just hope they're ready to go come April with the schedule they have and don't put themselves in a big early hole to dig out of. They have 29 games, be nice if they can win close to 15 of them.
  6. Only thing that sucks is that when everyone else in the Division starts up, the Cubs are already 2 losses back and their schedule in April is rough. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫
  7. Yep, it's still kinda ST Spend some of that money on bullpen arms
  8. No, Dodgers probably beat them easily at WF too.
  9. I hope he spent some time with the kid pitcher from the first game, Keito Mombetsu 20 yo., he had some good looking stuff.
  10. Exactly, they don't need to make these games count in mid March. They can send 4 teams overseas to play preseason games every March and just have them play each other for 3 games apiece to provide exposure there. Making 2 teams ramp up their ST in order to be ready for 2 meaningful games in mid March is dumb.
  11. Not sure why he was Counsell first choice in that spot, weather it was going to be with 2 outs or not, Ohtani was coming up in a 1 run game. Oh well, can't win if you can't get any offense, 1 for 7 with RISP. Gotta be better tomorrow and they get Sasaki, hopefully he'll have first game nerves and being at home.
  12. Kyle Tucker gets traded at the deadline, is that bold enough 😅
  13. Im only talking about these 2 games, not the whole season. I know Tucker going to hit and the Cubs offense will be fine overall, but i just think for these 2 games they're going to need something out of him if they're gonna have a chance at putting up a few runs.
  14. Had he gotten 10 hits, id be alot more comfortable in feeling like they could have a pulse in these 2 games even against the Dodgers pitching and a chance to put up a few runs, but him not doing much makes it harder. Imanaga, Steele, and the bullpen gonna need to be sharp if they're gonna try and get at least 1 win in this series.
  15. Who waking up at 5 AM to watch ? Im gonna record and watch around 9
  16. Yea, I gotta bad feeling these 2 games against the Dodgers may be very low scoring on the Cubs part if he not hitting.
  17. Right, they play 2 exhibition games in Japan before the Dodger series. These extra players will play for most of those 2 games
  18. Im liking Workman, I hope what he doing in ST carries into the season. Would be great if he can become a super utility guy for this team going forward.
  19. That was my question before, would they need to put Taillon, Boyd, or Rea on roster for Japan or just carry extra relievers. So, looks like they'll add 2 extra relievers
  20. Talking more later in the season, the second half. I can see 1 or both possibly not being in the rotation any longer. More Rea then Boyd
  21. Wait, this was only a 5 year deal with Xfinity? It took them forever to get a deal done with Xfinity in 2020
  22. It ok, he'll get a few Iowa starts to get himself more ready. I dont see Rea and maybe even Boyd starting many games, especially in the 2nd half.
  23. Got the backups in today, should see some runs and win easily... lol
  24. Alex Cohen did the play by play with Sweeney as analyst.
  25. Fun game today, everyone getting on base and good pitching. I like Cohen and Sweeney calling the games, hopefully we get this duo most of year and maybe takeover from Boog and JD when they leave.
