Javier Assad to IL, Almonte to 60-Day
WhyCantWeWin replied to Jason Ross's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Damn so Wesneski stays in the rotation? Also this kind of feels like a phantom injury to give Assad a breather, could be wrong. -
We have our closer boys!!1!
-
Good to see Mastrobuoni get an appearance last night. His wRC+ on the season is a whopping 7. There’s definitely no one in Iowa that can or has outperformed that this season
-
Hes got his 10 5 rights now officially I believe. So full circle he would veto a trade like Dempster.
-
I think its time to DFA Brewer
-
It does feel like every PCA at bat is the same, his timing is off and ends up fouling or missing the first two pitches and then strikes out
-
Amaya threw a guy out?!
-
Thanks, guess ill be skipping that game
-
Why is that? Someone getting skipped?
-
The issue i think wasnt their overall usage but the increased usage late in the season, i know you are going to look at the splits and mention that their innings were largely consistent throughout the season but you have to remember that all 3 spent some time on the IL close to the end of the year. They were on pace to shatter their inning highs from previous months.
-
Yeah its become clear that Hoyer overvalued the effect a manager has on the game or overvalued Counsell as manager. Im not on Counsells ass because i think the roster is inherently flawed and was banking on a second straight year of having top level performances from a roster of flawed players. Like Bellingers resurgence, Swansons insane defensively year, Suzuki turning it around for half a season etc.
-
And Leiter, Alzolay, Merryweather got decimated from overuse by Ross (the worst manager in cubs recent history) because Hoyer refused to add more arms at the deadline
-
I stopped watching and came back to see they blew it, Steele is never going to get a win. And the bullpen still sucks ass. Counsell needs his head checked if he keeps throwing Brewer out there.
-
His swing looks like its in slow motion
-
I disagree with the notion that Ohtani was always destined to go to LA. They were the only team to meet his steep (understandably) demands.
-
Easy money on the side for them
-
He has to, otherwise Tom would have to give them.
-
Benching your hottest hitter for Wisdom was definitely a decision. Didnt matter in the end with Shota getting massacred
-
Getting dominated by Quintana is incredibly pathetic, this offense is not it
-
Likely a lost game but this offense has gotta put up some runs, Quintana is complete trash now
-
You snarky little… jk Personally I never wanted him to leave in the first place, i knew any extension with was going to age poorly but he means a lot to the city and org so i wanted him to stay. Seeing him in the cubs uniform again would be some pleasant nostalgia
-
Shota in the summer was always going to be a rough ride at wrigley. Hope he can adjust.
-
Yeah i love Rizzo still and wanted him to retire a Cub, think he will be limited to minor league offers after this year.
-
And I think Rizzo will end up earning less with the yankees than he would have with the “lowball” offer Jed gave him that Rizzo walked away from without countering. Im assuming the yankees are declining the team option on him this offseason
-
Yeah im banking he probably opted out.
