  1. I hope the Cubs don't plan to use Wicks for more than 6 to 7 outs. I'd rather watch literally anyone pitch than him haha.
  2. It's crazy how shorthanded this team is right now in the rotation where they have to basically white flag an important division game due to lack of available arms. Wicks is awful
  3. They need Brown healthy and playing as good as he has been, and maybe add 1 more arm, for me to get there. But if they go into the all star break 10 over .500, they have firmly established themselves as buyers. Despite all the injuries. That's massive.
  4. If the Cubs go into the all star break 10+ games over .500, they should be proud.
  5. Just for vanity purposes I wish they let him get that last out so my 6 IP/2ER prediction could have come true lol
  6. I'd say mid 90s if they had everybody healthy and for the majority of the season (Horton, Steele, Boyd) but (not to go down this road again) I think there are still some areas they can improve on to be more competitive in the playoffs. Similar to the Rays. Rays are a good regular season team in a lot of years but they can never quite get to the finish line. I also think the Peterson move is sneaky good. I mean, 3 consecutive years I think with a FIP under 4. He's way better than Cabrera. Although I'm not sure they make that move in a scenario where they are fully healthy.
  7. Add +8 to 10 wins to this team's record if not for all these pitching injuries. I firmly believe Horton was on his way to being a top 5 or top 10 pitcher in the game and arguably the best player on the roster after PCA. What's disappointing is how bad this bullpen has been. There were so many good options last year. Soto, Weaver, +. And they pick Maton.
  8. true, but even when healthy that’s a tough matchup against Mis/Harrison/Woodruff and then this bullpen. Even a guy like Uribe, what a beast.
  9. the difference in talent between these 2 teams is alarming
  10. dang, I almost deluded myself into thinking they’d win
  11. "Suzuki runs into one" odd way to call a monster oppo field HR
  12. Feel better brotha I might end up in the ER if Counsell misses another obvious challenge
  13. I didn't realize the Cubs were getting Boyd back today. That's kinda exciting.
  14. Did the Pirates GM come out and say they aren’t trading Skenes? I must have missed it. There have been so many discussions from the media and fans about an Alvarez trade that they were compelled to make a public statement. He’s getting traded, whether it’s this trade deadline, this off season or next year’s trade deadline.
  15. “stepped into conversations where other people are talking..” wtf is that supposed to mean? like am I interrupting you from saying something? this is a public thread i can post whatever the horsefeathers I want. stop chasing people off this board because you don’t agree with what they say, i’ve seen you do this to others in the past too I also said “IF” Alvarez becomes available and have said 1000 different times it’s unlikely. I guess you don’t understand what the word “IF” means or the concept of a hypothetical
  16. I'm not the one that brought it up, someone was making a joke about me and mischaracterizing my opinion so I responded 🤷 which I don't really get. Respect that people have different opinions instead of throwing shade at every opportunity.
  17. I'm beyond obsessed with that guy, won't pretend otherwise lol. One of the best hitters I've ever seen. Imagine that guy out of the 2 hole every single day behind PCA. I agree that it's very unlikely they trade him but weirder things have happened.
  18. Haha it's not like he's gonna come out and say "we can't wait to trade our generational player". I know it's unrealistic, I'm just saying that they will get calls regardless and the Cubs should be a team that calls and makes a compelling offer if there is even a 1% chance they'd do it.
