  1. Happ still sucks.. I hope he waives his NTC this offseason
  2. WP, take that Now just get the ball to OF and move both runners up
  3. Off to a good start with Shaw Now they need something from the top, big AB here for Busch
  4. Bats better pick up Boyd here and get him those runs back.
  5. Boyd pitching great but with a 1 run game late he doesn't have the kind of stuff where can just challenge these guys and being 3rd time around, they can sit on pitches in the zone more cause he dont want to walk hitters
  6. Problem with the finger injury excuse is that he hurt it on June 1st and he hit .311 .982 OPS that month, so it kind of hard to say that the reason he hasn't done much since July 1st, a month later 🤷‍♂️🤣
  7. Both these teams playing like theyre ready for the weekend 🤣
  8. Problem may be the bats, those guys can give QS but the bats may just continue to suck against opponents top 3 starters. They really need Happ Zuki Tucker and PCA to catch fire and be hitting for the playoffs
  9. That an inside the park homer for Vaughn and the Brewers. That how things are going for both teams
  10. That would of been a triple back in June when the Cubs were all hitting and scoring 6 runs a game 😏😏😏😏
  11. Crazy seeing Tucker's average dropping everyday since he was at .290 on July 1st. He's way too good of a hitter for this, currently hitting .266 🙄
  12. Let hope the new ginger OFer has as good first game as the last one 20 years ago on July 8 2005 (Matt Murton).😊 2 for 2 DBL BB SF RBI R
  13. https://x.com/WatchMarquee/status/1956053788336312702?t=yDh4cTw5MOHHIWejMYbqLQ&s=19
  14. Gets him an off day today and likely Sunday too, i think or hope CC uses this opportunity with Caissie up now to get these OFers and Zuki extra days off to get them well rested heading into final week of season and playoffs.
  15. Reminded me of when Sox played Toronto in 1993 playoffs a buddy who a huge Sox fan and I went to Toronto to see Game 4 with a group from his bar, family owned. He and I went and bought 2 scalped tickets for 80 bucks total to sit in box seats 1st base side instead of sitting on top with the rest of group. Hour flight there, hour flight back the same night, we went to his bar at 2AM and just drank for another couple hours after it was close 🤣🤣🤣
  16. I think we shouldn't put too much emphasis on how Caissie going to perform in these final 43 games of season. He could have a hot 3-4 games today and over the weekend against Pirates pitching and then tail off or he can spend these next 43 games looking like Vaughn in Milwaukee for them. Of course he could just look like April Matt Shaw. I think bottom line, this is just an opportunity now for Caissie to likely get around 80 or so PA at this level and he'll be able to go into the offseason and work on some adjustments that he may need, whether he hits well or struggles. For the team itself, I think it will be helpful just to be able to give the 4 OFers much needed off days so they are rested and whatever aches them can heal for the playoffs.
  17. A bit surprised it Caissie, guessing he'll be playing tomorrow with Zuki sitting and will likely get his PT filling in a bit for Happ in LF and maybe mostly for Zuki at DH against RHers. Hopefully he can get a knock and help put some life back into the offense.
  18. I guess it the best result for the injury Left Ankle Sprain Xray negative IL stint but guessing he should be back by Sept 1st maybe
  19. So Horton is the new stopper in the rotation.. Nice to get a W and have it be against a WS contender, maybe they should just keep playing the AL East more cause they sure can handle them. Hopefully Boyd can continue his good starts and Scherzer shows his age 😆
  20. I was kidding with Lopez, I dont ever want to see him again. Id be surprise if they started Caissie clock now, though it would be nice to see him. I think it'll be Alcantara or Ballesteros and this way between either and Castro, the 3 OFers and Zuki could get more days off.
  21. Nicki Lopez is back in Iowa 🤷‍♂️ Id like to see Long get a shot but they could use another OFer so maybe Alcantara
