Taillon has a FIP of 4.45 in his career with the Cubs. He is the definition of average. I appreciate his durability as a player, but I won't be sad to see him go after next season. That money can be spent on someone more impactful.
-
Hopefully we can get a stress free, blowout type of game tonight. Cubs could use it after the last 2
-
Interesting, it certainly doesn't feel like that lately..
-
That's certainly fair. But admittedly I've been very vocal about their struggles vs left handed hitting, just frustrating to see it again. Liberatore isn't even that good. But I trust that Jed has a plan in place.
-
I didn't realize the game in June counts as less of a win or loss than the game in September. Maybe they need to play with more of a sense of urgency? They've gone from a 6.5 game lead to potentially down to 2.5 in a matter of 10 days. Yes, I think it's fair to say the division race has "tightened up".
-
Well buckle up boys because this division race is about to tighten up
-
that is brutal
-
There you go boys!
-
PCA of course!
-
Who's going to get it done today vs the lefty? Justin Turner? Dansby? Matt Shaw? Not really liking what I'm seeing so far..
-
I hope so too
-
Dansby batting cleanup is proof the Cubs need another bat that can hit LHP. Whether it's at 1st base or 3rd, doesn't really matter.
-
OT - I can't believe the Mets optioned Francisco Alvarez. I thought that guy would become one of the best players in the league after his rookie year. Quite the falloff. But he's still young
-
Pearson is the definition of a AAAA player
-
Should have been a 3 run bomb but I think the ump wants to go home
-
puke
-
Serious question - why don't the Cubs give Adam Amin a shot? He's already killing it with Bulls and Bears play by play. And I believe he's had good reviews doing MLB playoffs in the past for Fox. I'm sure he'd jump at the opportunity to call a couple of games
-
I love that about Counsell too. No coincidence to me that almost all our position players have remained healthy this year so far. He keeps guys fresh.
-
Seattle might have the best closer in the game right now, dude has an ERA under 1.3. Best chance will come in the next 3 innings, assuming they can get out of this mess and keep it close
-
I see. Yeah that definitely isn't on CC then.
-
Counsell arguably cost us the first game of this series when he pulled Boyd, who was cruising. Now this BS. He's a beast and could win manager of the year - but wow, some of his decisions lately have hurt
-
Don't like seeing Rea in the game still. Hopefully he's removed when the next lefty comes up
-
OMG SEIYA
-
This is why I've been so adamant about the Cubs exploring Suarez or Bregman as a trade possibility. You really can't have enough offense when going against elite SP, come playoff time. Shaw is nice but a year away. Half season commitment on Suarez and might not cost too much. Most contenders don't have holes at 3rd.
-
I just think back to after they won in '16 and had a really good '17. They didn't really commit to spending. I recall they traded for Quintana and then signed that pitcher from Colorado. But no other significant moves. Maybe I'm misremembering. But it seems that ownership gets complacent or content when they have success.
