    I thought they should have taken him out after the HBP or even the batter before that. Like you mentioned, the HR changed the dynamic of that inning. It seems like a reoccurring thing with him - pretty damn solid for 3 or 4 innings, falls apart in the 5th or 6th inning. Which is understandable because he's a swing starter like you mentioned. But CC needs to have a better plan, IMO

    They need to have a quick hook with Rea, but for some reason this guy gets such a long leash in every start. He's not good.
  3. PeanutPunch33
    It'll make me sick if they get Abrams or Skubal... unfortunately, this might be the year where they trade some prospect capital and go for it.
  4. PeanutPunch33
    I know the Cubs already have a crowded infield but I wish they had a way of getting CJ Abrams and moving Nico to short... and air dropping Swanson onto the Cardinals
  5. PeanutPunch33
    Jeez... I didn't realize how insane his numbers are this year.
  6. PeanutPunch33
    That would be awful..
  7. PeanutPunch33
    He got caught in between diving and not diving on a fly ball to right, and looked like he tweaked something. Looks like he might have turned his ankle but not sure.
  8. PeanutPunch33
    I'm not trying to dog on the Nico extension, I love the player and person dearly, but if Ramirez ends up being legit that move ends up being a bit of a head scratcher.

    If it wasn't for that unicorn in Milwaukee, Ben might have gotten a chance to start the All Star game this year
  10. PeanutPunch33
    that’s terrible
  11. PeanutPunch33
    Ben doesn't have his best stuff and still looks pretty damn good
  12. PeanutPunch33
    Suzuki has turned around his season in a big way too
  13. PeanutPunch33
    PCA has an .805 OPS now
  14. PeanutPunch33
    That sinker is unhittable..
  15. PeanutPunch33
    great defense
  16. PeanutPunch33
    + Steele and that's the type of home grown rotation we've been dreaming about for decades. I'm no fan of Jed but this team is definitely legit if not for injuries.
  17. PeanutPunch33
    I already know Ben will have a great outing tonight. Been a while since I've had that type of confidence in a Cubs SP. As far as I'm concerned Brown, PCA, Busch are the faces of this org.
  18. PeanutPunch33
    That kid might just be generational. If I recall, Randy Johnson avoided major elbow and arm injuries.
  19. PeanutPunch33
    The worst part is that the Cubs are locked into this mediocrity for a while. Bregman, Swanson, Hoerner, Cabrera, all here for years to come. Turns out Ricketts was right in previous years not to let Jed spend money.
  20. PeanutPunch33
    When it's all said and done, Jed will be a 10+ year GM with maybe 2 playoff appearances under his belt
  21. PeanutPunch33
    This has to be one of the worst collapses in MLB regular season history. From 15 games above .500 to a likely <.500 team in like 4 or 5 weeks. By my count, they have won 7 of their last 29 games
  22. PeanutPunch33
    Whatever the Cubs do in July, whether it's buying or selling, I do not trust this GM to get it right or this manager to develop the player. Something is broken with this team. Great HR though
  23. PeanutPunch33
    So the Cubs are the most disappointing team in baseball relative to their expectations, while on the South Side the vibes have never been higher in recent memory. The Brewers will win the division by 10+ games again. The Cardinals are good again. Genuinely don't know what it will take for the Cubs to clean house and fire Hoyer/Counsell, but it's come to the point where everything has to be on the table. Counsell has been so bad lately that I find myself missing Rossy.
  24. PeanutPunch33
    I have no idea how Breslow still has a job. He's even worse than Jed. 😂
  25. PeanutPunch33
    haha, fair. I'm not sure what the Guardians would want but I'm certain the Cubs could make it happen if they really wanted him. Wiggins, Rojas, Conrad. whatever.
