  1. Yea, at least let him try, hes not pitching Tuesday in All Star game and his next start will likely be Friday if they decide to give him and Imanaga the extra day rest.
  2. May actually see this anyways, go with the hotter starter first against their no. 1 and then have your number 1 go against their 2.
  3. They got thrown off with the righty after getting Jacked up to hit the lefty πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ˜πŸ˜
  4. Hoyer better get a frickn stud SP to go with Imanaga and Boyd. Doing that, id feel very confident in our top 3 going up against any other playoff opponents top 3 in a series.
  5. Ok, probably, but he did remove it before the pitch, Turner should of played it better and stumbled.πŸ˜†
  6. They winning today..lol You can see how much more confidence and energy these hitters have today over yesterday, not saying it 100% is but maybe alot of it is because they have Boyd going for them and not the bullpen.
  7. Maybe your misreading or I wasn't clear in my post. Im not saying sit Turner the rest of season versus lefties and just play Busch, though I personally wouldn't care if they did . Im saying going forward that CC needs to or should start playing Busch more or as much as possible now against lefties because when they start playing those meaningful games against opponents like Cardinals, Brewers, other potential playoff teams ( and in playoffs) they need to beat and theres a lefty on the mound, i think it would be best to have their main guy starting at first then Justin Turner. As far as it just 1B goes, we shouldn't diminish the importance of having a good glove at 1B.
  8. You really prefer Turner over Busch starting in a playoff series ? I dont know, I think I'd prefer having the glove first and take my chances with Busch's hitting.
  9. I think alot of that has to do with Happ who already doesn't hit as good from right side has been struggling overall sonce June, obviously Shaw not hitting, absence of Amaya hurts, and Kelly leveling off after a hot start. getting nothing from Turner when he plays against them doesn't help either. But yes after that hot start destroying everyone, they have leveled off hard against lefties.
  10. Great start, lead off triple and Tucker not trying to do too much and got him home . There's your lead Boyd now shutem down πŸ˜†
  11. I agree with Floyd in regards to Busch, Counsell needs to just let him play versus lefties going forward. Possible playoff teams going forward and teams they may face in postseason are gonna stack up lefties either in rotation or bullpen when facing the Cubs mainly because 4 of their top hitters are lefties. Happ from left side, Tucker, PCA, and Busch CC cant be going into these big games going forward and postseason not playing his best defensive first basemen and one of his better hitters because theyre facing a lefty, I mean damn, inagine Justin Turner starting 3 postseason series games cause a lefty starting or facing the Brewers in a big 3 game series for the division and starting Turner cause lefties are starting for the Brewers πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ Busch need to get all the AB he can get against lefties now so hes ready to face them in bigger games...
  12. Shaw out day 2 and against a leftyπŸ€”πŸ€” Happ finally moved down in order πŸ₯³
  13. Fake team still in lineup today with Berti and Turner in...
  14. Hey Berti got a hit πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ What super funny is, Cubs only had 5 hits and 3 came from the bench turds in Brujan, Berti, and Turner πŸ˜…πŸ˜…
  15. What are odds Wicks ends up with some sort of "injury " and placed on IL tomorrow
  16. I'll be upset if Caissie, or Wiggins get moved and especially if theyre moved for someone that short-term.
  17. Only way they might consider bringing Caissie up this season is if one of the OFers go on IL, otherwise they won't bring him up just to sit on bench.
  18. Im sure Hoyer gonna do his best to use Wicks and or Brown in any trade package to try and avoid using Wiggins for teams wanting young pitching in return.
  19. When the baseball gods fuks with fans.. Cubs have 3 hits and Turner and Berti has 2 of them πŸ˜…πŸ˜…
  20. Had a feeling I'd be checking out the summer league bulls game earlier then I wanted to, now I'll be bored of it before halftime and have nothing to watch
