Happy Monday friends Maybe this kid has it

The Brewers rotation is 5 deep and they have a very good pen too. They are a lot like those Rays teams we’ve seen over the years. I don’t think they have the star power to advance deep into the post season but it would not surprise me at all if the division race comes down to the last week. They are very solid. And if one accepts that they will also be active at the deadline for hitting, possibly even Suarez or a young piece from the Orioles, they suddenly do become a very dangerous team that can win the World Series. We shouldn’t underestimate them at all. They are a real threat. As of right now, tied with the 2nd best record in baseball - that’s no fluke. edit - typo

It was mentioned on one of the broadcasts a few weeks ago that since end of May they were 27th-29th in a lot of statistics vs lefties. I'll have to go back and check the old game thread where me and Bertz had that convo for the specifics
-
That's fair. The last one was just an emotional comment in the heat of the moment. I'm sure Pressly will be a valuable piece down the line.
-
Same, Brasier is under utilized
-
But when I suggest that the Cubs are a bottom 10 team vs LHP since end of May I'm told these sample sizes don't matter and we should look at the entire body of work. Pressly's entire body of work is just okay as a Cub. Some good, some bad. But not someone I want to see in a 1 run game in the 7th inning, just IMO. They have better options. He's also what, a year or two removed from being a closer and that's what he was brought here to be. So I think it's fair to say he's a little washed up. Calling him a bum is a bit much though, I can admit that.
-
Here comes the speech cops again. I am not "consistently negative and pessimistic". I was pissed he blew the lead, which seemed entirely predictable given his inconsistent performance all year long
-
If the Cubs want a cheap bullpen addition at the deadline, the guy they are facing right now is pretty intriguing. Been saying it in the trade thread for a while.
-
The only way the Brewers lose is if the Cubs also lose. Laws of being a Cubs fan
-
Pressly is a horsefeathers washed up bum. I feel bad for Horton.
-
So predictable
-
Getting 8 hits vs Crochet is great, but getting 1 run out of that kinda sucks
-
BEAST
-
Great job Thielbar!
-
Hopefully Seiya not hurt. Didn't like that reaction
-
BIG TIME IAN
-
I hold my breathe every time PCA does some crazy horsefeathers. We need you in October kid! 😂
-
This ump is horsefeathers brutal
-
Exactly. At this point, I want to see Long get the call up and platoon with Busch rest of the way
-
Great start by Cade so far
-
Exactly. If the Cubs run into the Phillies in the playoffs, is Busch not going to start against that trio of lefties? He's already shown he can run into a home run every now and then vs LHP. If they had someone better than Turner I could understand the logic..but they don't
-
Would be nice to get 1 here
-
I'd just rather see Busch out there than Turner 🤷♂️
-
Great explanation, that makes sense.
-
I think the Cubs need to roll with their best players, whether it's a lefty or righty. Busch has a higher WAR than Pete Alonso in like 60 less plate appearances. I no longer think they can justify sitting him under any circumstances.
