Haven't seen anything on Happs injury, as in regard to how bad it is, I hope this isn't something they're giving a few days to see if it gets better but then end up putting him on the IL for a month.
-
Yea I doubt there's any plans for 35 yo Casali to join the big league anytime soon or later..lol
-
Didn't get to watch the 2nd game but noticed in box score that Gomes had another 0fer with 2 more Ks, not that there any better options in Iowa to replace him if they wanted too but just think if maybe it's time to stop the 50/50 games split with Amaya and just roll with Amaya now.
-
6 seems like the magic number nowadays for pitchers, 7 is like getting a complete game out of them..lol
-
Exactly, and for this game specifically, he had his 2 best late guys ready and available to get the final 6 outs with a lead and they didn't get the job done. Also This bullpen doesn't even sniff to the arms he had in Milwaukee to close out the final 2-3 innings.
-
Exactly, would of preferred Gomes over Canario there to get that runner home from 3B.
-
Shame... I'll be missing tonight game, so hopefully they'll score a few runs and win. Wonder what the Sox would take for Kopech
-
Alzolay turning into Marmol.. Sad they gave this game away, bats are just as much to blame as Alzolay there.
-
Hey bats, how about adding on a couple three runs here
-
Yea, they seriously need another late inning reliever to go with Leiter and even Merryweather when he returns, I dont care too much for using a shaky "closer" for more then 3 outs in a 1 run game.
-
Well, theyre where you want them to be going into the 8th, they have a lead with Leiter and Alzolay ready to go. Lets get the W
-
Crazy but am I wrong in remembering that they were much better last season in successful SB
-
Yea, I get getting bench guys their ABs in but 5 at once.. lol I just hope he's not planning on resting both Swanson and Hoerner in the second game
-
Hopefully part of that is a terrible bullpen
-
This is why the bats are important in DHers.. SP can stay in a tad longer with a 3+ runs lead and not have to burn up relievers just to get through an inning.
-
Shaw is cruising in AA and will likely be promoted to Iowa sooner rather then later. Vazquez is off to a great start in Iowa My question is, would it be crazy to think both could be up at some point this season with the cubs ? Shaw to take over 3B and Vazquez getting his AB rotating through 2B, SS, and 3B to give the regulars days off kinda like Tauchman was doing with the OFers. Morel could go back to DH or maybe used in a trade to net a SP Bench/DH could be improved with Morel and Vazquez added to it with Amaya, Wisdom , and whomever is the 4th OFer. Thoughts
-
Madrigal never touched the base so why all the discussions, he's out, who cares how..lol
-
That one was to stay out of DP, though not sure they would of turned it.
-
Wisdom Gotta love speed on the bases
-
It's the cubs and 5 of the guys in their lineup aren't regulars 🤷♂️
-
Lotta season left for that, let not forget the bench guys need to stay sharp too and need their AB, so with the majority of SP being RH, CC has to take advantage of these situations when there's a string of LHers going up against them to get guys like Cooper and Madrigal their AB
-
I know you gotta get through today first but let not forget tomorrow with Hendricks and him barely getting through 4 so far this season, id hate for them to go into tomorrow with the mindset of if they need to give one away to save the pen so be it if Hendricks falls apart again. I truly hope both Assad and Imanaga can get 6-7 innings today so there will be rested arms tomorrow just in case, bats putting up some runs will help with that too.
-
Lefty on mound in game 1, he should start Game 2 Happ is injured with hamstring tightness
-
Damn, just read that Happ has left hamstring tightness and is uncertain for rest of weekend.
-
Do we root for the Cardinals over the Brewers so the Cubs can take over 1st place tonight 😅
