  1. Not a "need" Just responded to poster who mentioned him. He would be the type of guy they could use on the bench to be able to spell the 3 OFers and get them a full day off going forward at least once a week and he would be someone you wouldn't mind giving ABs too unlike Brujan.
  2. I dont know, Braiser threw 11 pitches and got out if that inning pretty easily, would it have been bad to let him start the 2nd inning
  3. Lol of course the first ball put in play finds Zuki. 😅
  4. Isn't he playing everyday for the Sox, I dont know, so if he is his PT with the Cubs would be limited from what he getting now with the Sox because of the 4 Cubs OFers. But He would be what they need cause he can start 2-3 games a week to rest all 3 OFers and be affective for them. Does that clear it up for you better.
  5. Great start by Braiser, hope CC let him start the 2nd inning.
  6. Im not worried about the Brewers now, I want my Cubs to win a ballgame and not give them any chance to take over the Division. Difference
  7. Tauchman would be great but him getting AB with this team would be limited unless they give Zuki even less or no PT in the OF because Tauchman can spell all 3 OFers and give them each a full day off every week.
  8. Just find a way to win a ballgame tonight Don't let the Brewers take over the lead
  9. Having a decent OFer on the bench would make even more sense 🤷‍♂️ Instead they have to choose between either Brujan in CF or Turner to DH. Pick your posion
  10. This is one part of what I truly hope Hoyer addresses at the deadline, adding a guy to strengthen the backend of the bullpen. During the postseason in the last few years we have seen how much a solid bullpen can go a long way with winning as starters are mostly expected to get 6 innings at most. I would love to see the Cubs add another big arm to go with Palencia Flexen and Theilbar to close games out from 7th inning on. I think theyll be fine with the mix of others that they have to get through the rest of game if needed. Pressly, Pomeranz, Keller, Brasier etc.
  11. I'll start worrying or caring what the Brewers are doing more after the 5 games series against them in August. Both teams will have 34 games left after that series, so we'll see where the Cubs are at after that. Cubs 15 H 19 A 5 of final 11 series against current potential playoff teams that are either currently in playoff spot now or a few games out Brewers 19 H 15 A 8 of final 11 series against current potential playoff teams that are either currently in playoff spot now or a few games out
  12. Yep, maybe this will be a reason for TR to give Hoyer the ok to go get some real upgrades and not worry about payroll. I mean they are still on top of mlb record wise, be kind of sucky to not push forward and do what it takes to win it all this season.
  13. Booooo Go beat up the Royals tomorrow to make up for this one
  14. Yep, doesn't mean Im trusting Ryan Pressly late in 1 run games. Keep bringing him in with bigger leads and less presser.
  15. Ball game.. Wasted opportunities with the bats and well not a good day for a couple pen guys.
  16. Of course they'll lose on a day Cubs could lose too 🙄
  17. Don't need to DFA him, just stop pitching him late in close games is all. He's a 5th-6th inning guy now or when games aren't close late.
  18. That great and all but just something about him that I just dont like seeing him pitch late in close games, kinda like Turner situation. 🤷‍♂️
  19. No but once you get to the 7th, you gotta be able to feel comfortable knowing you should be sending out your 3 best relievers to hold them. Pressly isnt one of them.
  20. 3 must get for Hoyer A good SP A good RH bat for bench A good late inning reliever If he can muster up anything more to upgrade them then awesome
  21. Fucks, leave it to Pressly to fudge it up Stop pitching him in close games late, hes not the guy anymore. SOB
