  1. He sticks around til they start losing in the 7th inning or so, they he hits the bars 😅
  2. I bet when a batter swings at one and misses and ask the ump if that was a strike, ump probably says no it was way outside. 😅
  3. Yes, theyre just an unlucky team for 7 weeks straight. 🤷‍♂️
  4. Lol.. Well you just keep enjoying what you're watching and hoping that the same guys that keep taking the mound and not getting the job done because theyre just unlucky get better luck eventually
  5. Yea, too bad they can't play at ballparks where they could possibly score more runs on certain game days.
  6. They've been playing bad baseball for the last 7 weeks now, 9 under since May 1st with the same players . Yes there's a long way to go and that the reason why they need to make some changes to fix it while there is still time to do so.
  7. No Brown, No Wicks so Hendricks back in the rotation 😅 https://x.com/BleacherNation/status/1801691065314840804?t=CKD0MQ2KXcKNfUVKE2IaSA&s=19
  8. Problem not going to be Hendricks today, even if he gives up 2-3 runs, it going to be the bats not scoring and or the bullpen not holding.
  9. If PCA was batting 2nd, he would've bunted him there 🤷‍♂️😏😏😏😅
  10. Staying status quo doesn't make it better either, so why not take a look at someone that hasn't had an opportunity yet ? If there's no moves to be made outside the organization yet to help the bullpen then its time to see if someone in the system can get the job done over the recycling of arms that they have been using and failing with.
  11. One is 22 and possibly the CFer of the future and the other is a 27 yo utility player.
  12. Ehhh. They can't score with or without him in the lineup, let the kid play. He went 3 for 11 in Tampa, that should earn him to continue to start. Tauchman has been garbage lately in a 6 for 35 slump, we don't really need to see him play all the time now, he is what he is a 4th OFer. Let the kid play even if he doesn't hit, his defense, speed, and even bunting ability could help win games.
  13. Doesn't just have to be bats added to the 40, could be pen arms. Edwards has pitched well enough in Iowa, he has earned a shot. Blow games, lose games they can't afford to fall too many more games behind between now and the deadline. They're 3 games under and 8 back of the Brewers, so any hopes in catching the Brewers are slowly fading. As for a WC spot, Braves and Padres will likely add and get even better and tougher to catch. So, are they just gonna sit until mid July or so and hope to stay relevant enough to make some bandade moves for that last WC spot ?
  14. Problem is, the Cubs need to start making moves now, they can't afford to wait until mid July or the deadline to make significant moves because by then it'll likely be too late to recover from the hole they're buried in if they continue to blow away games. Then there's the question of will Rickett go above the Threshold to add those significant players as they are currently just 4 mil below it. They also need to move players like Madrigal and Mastrobuoni off the 40 so they can add and bring up kids that can help now. So, yes they can turn things around but they need to get that process started sooner rather then later before it may be too late.
  15. Cubs have starting pitching, that it.. Problem is, these guys get pulled after 6 or in the 7th and can't win these games
  16. Cubs pitchers are pitching in stressful situations like it's bases loaded no outs in every inning because of how bad the offense has been. They pretty much need to be perfect with every pitch and have no wiggle room for mistakes even with a 2 run lead cause it could be all they get the rest of game.
  17. I'm reliving the 80s, Small Ball is back I honestly never ever seen 3 straight successful bunts in a row 😅
  18. I think Hoyer has Gomes around because he reminds him of Ross with the grey beard... Grandpa Gomes 😅
  19. Here we go, tying run on base 1 out Neris makes me NerVis on the mound
  20. That what I was saying yesterday 😅
  21. Belli bomb.. We can worry again 😏😏😏
