  1. Hope everyone enjoyed that 2 run lead, it now a 2 run deficit 🙄 Already hit that number 4 and it just the first inning
  2. PCA with a whiffle ball single 😅 Damn Nico give him a chance to steal a base
  3. We'll never know, but at least there he could of worked on adjusting or whatever he needed to do before returning, like I showed he was struggling some before he got hurt. No real time to adjust once your back and all it did was continue his struggle. Yes, now that he is back, dropping him in order can't hurt, maybe it takes a little pressure off him and he can see the pitcher for a few batters before hitting. Hopefully today a good day for him, they need him, especially now with both catchers down.
  4. After yesterday, he's 3 for 19 with 9 Ks. He was 2 for his last 17 with 9 Ks before he got hurt. He definitely wasn't ready yet, could of used a couple games in Iowa before returning. Getting a typical game in Cincinnati from him today would be nice.
  5. Damn, who cursed the Catchers this weekend. Gonna need the top of order to do some damage today, maybe McGuire will have one of those wasn't supposed to play but ended up getting a big hit or two for them today.
  6. Magic number has been 4 runs allowed so far this season, keep them 4 or less they obviously have a great chance to win, when giving up 5+ they are 7 and 7. Be nice if Brown can give them a quality start today and the offense strikes early with a few runs for him.
  7. Biggest cause for oblique strains is heavy lifting such as weights which is a big norm for athletes these days. add that to all the normal twisting, throwing motions, and bending a baseball player does every day and boom it due to happen more now. Same with the hamstring issues, Compared to way back in the day when Athletes just mostly stretched, did light lifting, and ran to stay fit, these guys now do some heavy lifting which builds up muscles but increases the chance of strains and pulls if they're not stretched out enough to deal with all the movements they do in games.
  8. He's gone... https://x.com/Cubs/status/1926347009914450410?t=qYXfnWLs-YSiKEY_YT91JQ&s=19
  9. If or When Hoyer looks to trade for a SP, my guess it'll be for someone that either in last year of contract or only has a year left. Likely will be owed around 10 mil or alot less for remainder of season when they get him. Hoyer should be looking at possible available closers/late innings guys from teams under 500 when they get into June.
  10. Theyll likely want pitching prospects in return and if they're willing to trade him to a divisional team, plus he's under team control for 4 more years, it gonna cost. Id trade Brown, Wicks, and ??
  11. 11 runs in last 3 innings when it was looking bleak... 🤣😅
  12. He gets to pick and choose when he wants to work lol.. I hope they just give Cohen the job full time next year
  13. I wouldn't start worrying about extending him til 2027 season when he becomes ARB eligible, he's not even a FA until after the 2030 season. Tucker the guy they need to work on now
  14. There's one, let go PCA Holy fucks, he did it Cubs lead
  15. No it not, but the talk of 6 man rotation on here has been going on for a couple years now, not sure it ever really going to happen. It'll be interesting to see what Hoyer does, they could use another top starter even when Imanaga returns, I guess it'll come down to who has been the least successful between The others.
  16. That the problem in itself, like I said it too early to make a significant trade now, and if he does find a team willing to give up a solid starter now, it will cost big time with prospects. It going to be tough continuing this pace with these Starters and Bullpen, especially if and or when the bats quiet down a bit at some point, they need Imanaga back and they need to get to July to make some trades to upgrade the pitching.
  17. Unless the bats can get going in next couple innings, this may end up being a white flag game to save the pen.
