Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 6-8-25
Rcal10 replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Starting to get a little excited about him. He might be a rotation piece as soon as next season. -
Exactly. Nothing that happened here will have any bearing on these two teams if we are lucky enough to meet them in the WS. Tigers made some big plays in the series and the Cubs came up short a few times. But losing this series is not a statement that the Tigers are better than the Cubs.
-
You do know it is ok to sometimes give the other team credit, right? Tigers played with the same umpires. They made a lot of good plays and beat the Cubs. Doesn’t mean they are better. Just means they were better today. I believe Happ was safe at home. But if Carpenter doesn’t put that ball right in the money it isn’t even a discussion. Cubs had a few chances to make good plays and didn’t do it. Just tip your hat to the victor and move on. I didn’t see anything that would tell me the Cubs can’t beat the Tigers. But they need to play a cleaner game. Tigers do not scare me at all. But I have to give them credit, they played well and deserved to win the series.
-
I believe that is how it will be in the majors. You get 3 wrong and you don’t have anymore. I would rather just have auto balls and strikes, but this is at least a step in the right direction.
-
Or, just with the ABS system and rotate umpires like they do now.
-
Well obviously we all hope they meet again. The only way that is possible is in the WS. So honestly other than the white sox, I hope the Cubs get a second series against any team in the AL.
-
It would be fitting if the guy who shouldn’t even be in the game did something good. GUESS NOT
-
Too many mistakes and the Tigers aren’t making any. But even if they lose this game, nothing that happened in this series makes me fear the Tigers. Cubs just don’t play their best and I truly believe we saw the absolute best of Detroit.
-
😄 absolutely correct.
-
What a terrible umpire. Isn’t he the guy who was at 1st yesterday? Didn’t he call the guy safe on the pickoff to end the game? I don’t think that guy ever even got ti first base. This guy sucks. And then to throw Nico out after he made a terrible call. Wow!!!
-
I believe he was safe. But that is because it looks like the catcher missed him originally. But in real time it did look like they got him. And on review it was too close to overturn. Has they called him safe originally the call wouldn’t have changed either.
-
Agree. The send was the right play. I think he was actually safe, but too close to overturn. Just a great throw home. Tigers are making plays this series.

Fall of the house of Busch-er
Rcal10 replied to Transmogrified Tiger's topic in General Baseball Talk
I think the Cardinals fall in between one poster who hates them and gives them no credit for being a decent team and suggesting they will “definitely be in the mix”. I think they are decent. While I do not think they will fall off, I also do not fear they will win 90 games. I think they are a low 80’s win team. Decent. Same with the Brewers. So if the Cubs do what we all feel they should do, win 90+ games, the Cardinals shouldn’t be much of a factor. If low 80’s puts them in a WC mix, so be it. But think even that number will be closer to 87 or so. And I do not think any team in the central except the Cubs will win 87 games. -
Maybe he is in that pace because Counsel picks the match ups he wants for Busch.
-
I wouldn’t expect them to do that just yet, But I do agree with you, against a lefty he does make sense there.
-
He went out over 2 weeks ago and they said it was 4-6 weeks. My guess is early July. Maybe a week before the ASB. But I have yet to hear about his progress, so who knows?
-
I don’t see the Cubs letting Turner go and Berti is used for baserunning or maybe even a game or two for Nico. Turner is too valuable as a veteran on the bench working with the younger guys. It has been mentioned often how much he is liked and respected. Besides that, barring an injury, there just isn’t enough AB for long.
-
Yep. I expected him to be a little rough today. Plus I do not like closers in a gane where it isn’t a save. They seem to always struggle in those games. He should be ok now.
-
I think I would let Taillon start the 8th. Go batter to batter. Maybe he doesn’t finish the inning but let him start it.
-
Matt Shaw might be a solid bat. And if he is this line up could be special.
-
The starter is actually an opener. He is only going one inning. Busch is hitting 7th with the thought he gets the righty in the second inning.

Cubs (Brown) vs Tigers (Skubal): 6/6/25, 6:10pm
Rcal10 replied to Brandon Glick's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Yep. And it was also terrible judgement on his part. That was an obvious slow down into 3rd and have 2nd and 3rd and no outs. Crazy bad decision, even with the slight bobble by the left fielder. No reason to even consider sending him. -

Absolutely. It was not a PCA mistake. It was a Berry mistake, and a very dumb one at that. No reason to even consider sending PCA. 2nd and 3rd and no outs with a contract hitter up. My guess is tigers play the infield back. That was as close to a sure run as the Cubs could come. Probably 60-70% or more that he scores from third. Sending PCA is probably, at best, 30-40% chance. And then to hold him last second was ridiculous. That one was totally on Berry. And it probably cost them the game. -
Even with a down year by the Braves, I do not see then trading guys they can use next year. They are too good, IMO. They will probably run it back next year after filling some holes. I don’t see them tearing the team down.
