That's pathetic
-
Horton has to hunker down here and get them through 5 with no more runs allowed.
-
Good start, let’s get some runs
-
made of glass
-
I've seen a lot of Cubs fans talk about Edward Cabrera, yet Javy Assad has better numbers the last 3 seasons than him. Losing him + Steele + Shota for a long stretch was eventually going to catch up to this team. They might need 2 legitimate starters at the deadline
-
I thought Cade turned a corner and it took all but 1 inning to realize... he's still a rookie
-
Feels like our starters lose guys a lot on 2 strike counts. Can't get away with that against good teams..
-
I thought Ian got that
-
lol
-
So, 6 runs later he finally records an out. Progress!
-
home run derby
-
Twins don't even need to use Duran anymore
-
completely dominated by a mediocre team
-
watching them piss away another promising inning is so sad
-
Seiya hasn't had a single good AB all day
-
holy crap what an AB again by Tuck
-
That's just awful
-
dang he hit that so hard it was a single
-
that was a great AB
-
It's time to get some runs
-
Sucks when a pitcher gets to 2 strikes and can’t finish it
-
That’s a good analogy. At the end of the day if the Cubs want to keep Tucker, they’ll need cost controlled guys at other positions. And Shaw is definitely a good prospect. I understand why they are giving him all the opportunities.
-
I phrased it badly - but I meant that they shouldn't not explore that move at the deadline if it becomes realistic, just because they have a top prospect at 3b who's steadily improving.
-
That makes sense. He's definitely improving which is encouraging, and been unlucky. But you really wouldn't be excited if the Cubs got Suarez. It's just one of those unique opportunities to add a guy that can make a true difference in the playoffs. If the Cubs were playing a 5 game series, I'd expect Suarez to hit at least 1 HR, possibly even 2 or 3. I wouldn't expect Shaw to hit a single one. Even if he continues steadily improving. If Suarez wasn't available then I wouldn't mind them rolling with him, but that's a great player that can be had, with a short term commitment. Does it really stunt his growth to sit behind a vet for 2 or 3 months and observe.

I will take a closer look at it. I'm glad that he's marginally improving, and it's unfortunate he's been unlucky, but it just seems like too much risk to me to have him starting at 3rd base in October. Just my opinion. The Cubs owe it to the other guys in that locker room to put their best foot forward.
