Damn, hate those rally killing DP Good start, theres your lead Imanaga, now like Boyd did yesterday, Hold it. 😅
-
Yea baby Busch gets them started Let go !!!!!!
-
No Shaw again, so hes either getting a much needed break or like I said before, they could be sending back to Iowa after the break to get himself right mentally and work on things. Hopefully this will be Brujan last game as a cub as they readjust the roster a bit during the break for the second half. Like yesterday, just figure out a way to win a ballgame and the series, and continue the momentum into the second half. I saw the Yankees lineup, I was hoping they sat a couple regulars to give them an extra day off 😅
-
They in NewYork and it's the Yankees, plus any lineup that has Brujan starting is an automatic deduction 😅😅
-
True, and that was inflated by all the intentional walks he was getting, even with bases loaded 😅
-
Yep, id be fine with him and Tucker just getting 1 AB and watching the rest of the game from the clubhouse....
-
I mean that the best case scenario when your also a fan of the game and your team is facing one of the stars of the game. Your team wins and that star hits a homer or does something big.
-
I may be wrong but I think that was mostly and including yesterday bullpen garbage game, but mostly the go get them just eat innings pen guys in the games that were getting away and not the guys they count on mostly.
-
I think when he faces lefties, hes up there swinging and hoping it's a ball over the plate .lol
-
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.
-
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.
-
They got thrown off with the righty after getting Jacked up to hit the lefty 🤷♂️😏😏
-
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.
-
Ok, probably, but he did remove it before the pitch, Turner should of played it better and stumbled.😆
-
Wow, only 3 innings out of Fried, awesome
-
Was that the reason for the challenge?
-
He's only on team to steal bases
-
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.
-
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.
-
Just a long out lol
-
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.
-
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.
-
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 😆
-
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 🤦♂️🤦♂️ Busch need to get all the AB he can get against lefties now so hes ready to face them in bigger games...

Just find a way to win a ballgame today
