  1. Good strategy, walk the power hitters and go after the rest 😅
  2. Who knows, I bet he has missed half the games. I like Cohen, he does the Iowa games. I wouldn't mind if he took over full time, he would know the young guys that are and comes up well.
  3. I'm kinda hoping he opts in and the Cubs can trade him just to be able to get something good in return over losing him for nothing if he opts out. Not sure how close to major league ready they view Caissie and Alcantara, but with them two along with PCA, Happ, Suzuki, and even Tauchman they're going to have some decisions to make and that don't include IF they have any FA outfielders they'd like to try and get. Hoyer will be in good position to really build up a solid roster with prospects, trade access, and money along with who already on the roster.
  4. Nice way to make up for 2 losses, a blowout and a combined no hitter... Probably won't make the playoffs but games like this are fun to watch in September.
  5. Don't necessarily have to be up on opening day, but I'm sure Caissie, Shaw, Alcantara, Ballesteros, and a couple pitchers will be making their debuts next season. As far as releases, they can start woth Wisdom, and Mastrobuoni. Hendricks can go on IL for whatever they can get away with. Armstrong, Neely, Wingenter. Not saying all of them but those are candidates that can go bye bye
  6. Both Steele and Lopez go on IL.. Time to start releasing and bring up the kids that'll be a part of next season roster
  7. He most likely isn't on this current roster
  8. Anyone looking for more then 3 years 🤷‍♂️
  9. At least they gave us 3 days of meaningful baseball in September, unfortunate they had to lose 2 of them or about to.
  10. A bullpen game now for the final 5 chasing 2 runs, at least it not 7.
  11. Well that two opportunities wasted, at least they're getting the pitch count up, he likely won't go more then 5.
  12. I hope that won't be their best chance to score tonight, and of course Kyle gets in trouble after 2 outs...
  13. Anyone familiar woth the parking lots around WF.. im going Saturday and got a parking pass but it doesn't say where the lot is located. Just that it a half mile away
  14. Steele is likely to miss at least 1 more start depending on severity of injury, if it's two, might as well let Hendricks pitch out his final season as a cub in Steele spot and shut Steele down for the year.
  15. That original Swift candle was done, looks like the Cubs winning ways may be too. Ugggh
  16. Gotta answer with at least 1 here with top of order up.
  17. Hot corners flashing the leather that inning
  18. PCA speed a big reason for the crooked number
  19. Lol.. Yes, my personal odds will be 50/50 if they remain 3 games out with 16 to play. Playing 13 games against the Rockies, As, Nats, and Reds (3 in Philly) Will be alot easier then the Braves playing the Dodgers, Mets, and Royals in 10 of last 16. ( Reds, Marlins) Gaining 1 game out of every 4 is very doable over the last 16
  20. I'm not doing a projection based on whatever mlb uses for their odds, I'm giving my opinion that if they can come away from the Yankees and Dodgers series still being within 3-4 games of a playoff spot, I think theyll have an even shot at getting there. Like i said, it won't be easy but it is doable. Like TT says, theyll have to have a strong September and control their destiny.
  21. Keep the flame burning and continue the hot streak...
  22. Agree, can't remember a night game on Labor Day, I remember it used to break up the Jerry Lewis telethon.
  23. Liking their chances for me is that it closer to 50/50 for them. The Braves will havec4 with the Dodgers, 3 with the Mets and 3 with Royals. Yes it'll be really tough, they just gotta keep winning and hope the Braves take a spin and drop a few in a row. At the very least we'll have meaningful games in September, I for one wasn't expecting that.
  24. They need to survive the Yankees and Dodgers, if they can stay within 3 after those series, I'll like their chances of catching the Braves.
