    We are talking about something that probably has less than a 5% chance of even being discussed by the teams and even less of a chance of happening. I am fine agreeing to disagree.

    Good win. Who cares if it a game where they didn’t hit well and it was against a terrible team. All that matters is it is another W.

    I understand it from the Cubs perspective. But sometimes you have to think of the other team. Why would the Reds give up Lodolo now? I like Lodolo and Gore too. But to me it doesn’t make sense for either team to trade either of those guys. I have no opinion on Smith for the Cubs. But, again, don’t see why the Sox would trade him. I think the Cubs will be looking at Peralta(if Brewers continue to struggle) anyone from the Marlins, maybe Kikuchi, Eflin, N. Martinez, Keller, Heaney and I am sure a few others.

    Smith has 5 more years of control. The other two have 3 years. Unless it is a crazy overpay I don’t see it.
  5. Rcal10
    Gore, Lodolo and Smith all have control left. No reason for a team to trade them.

    It is baseball. Nothing should shock anyone. Reese McQuire hit 2 homers off of left handed pitching yesterday. Who would predict that?
  7. Rcal10
    He might not be available right now, but if the Brewers start falling out of the WC race by the deadline maybe Peralta becomes available. He would be a great addition.
  8. Rcal10
    As a rule, I don’t want Suzuki on the bench with a lefty pitching. He is a DH today. He will be fine. I get giving him a day off. But not today.
  9. Rcal10
    Besides being. a Cubs fan so obviously hoping the. Brewers lose all the time, another reason to hope they fall out of the race is maybe they will be open to trading Peralta. He would be the TOR starter the Cubs can really use. He has a team option next year but after that is a FA. Brewers are not afraid to trade top end guys. Last few years they have dealt Burnes, Hader and Williams.

    He has started dialed in before and had a few good starts. But he has also sucked after being dialed in for several innings. I believe he started well against the Phillies and then lost it. It just seems like at some point in the game he dominates and then when things go a little rough he falls apart completely. He is a very frustrating pitcher because he does have 2 really good pitches and probably one of the highest upsides on the team. When he is going good he looks great. But when he hits a bump he falls apart. I don’t see how he can start this week. Especially since it would be against the Reds again.

    I don’t think Counsell will be in a hurry to skip spits in the rotation. I think he likes giving guys an extra day. I also think most of the guys in this rotation need the extra day. I don’t see them skipping a spot in the rotation.
  12. Rcal10
    He came out in the 1st inning the other day. He might not be healthy.
  13. Rcal10
    I am traveling so I apologize for not being able to look through all comments. But how about a shout out for the Cubs pen. They have been great the entire trip. And really pretty good overall but for a few terrible innings. Could be much worse. We could have the Reds pen.
  14. Rcal10
    Brown has to be sent down. He can’t start again. His next start would be against the Reds. That absolutely cannot happen. I guess Flexen is next guy to try in the rotation.🤷
  15. Rcal10
    This gets mentioned often. Not just you. And I get it. But the problem is, “who is even available”? Who is this mystery pitcher the Cubs should trade for? As for the pen, unless it is a closer(which, again, who is available?) I don’t see a reason to add another questionable arm now. And again, even if it is a middle relief pitcher move, who is available? Cubs are going to have to live with what they have for now. Maybe Imanaga gets back in 2 weeks. Maybe Horton does take that 5th spot. Maybe Brown goes to the pen and that helps the pen. The problem with that is the innings guys will be throwing. I agree they need someone. But I don’t see anything happening until the TDL. And, honestly, even then who is trading. TOR starter?
  16. Rcal10
    Has he played 2 in Iowa instead of Miami how would that have helped him the first 2 games in Cincy? He just needs live action and he will eventually start hitting again. Maybe dropping him wouldn’t be a bad idea, but I doubt he would be any better now has he played 2 games in Iowa before joining the Cubs in Cincy.

    That is because Abbott knew how to have the hard context he allowed be hit at people….🤮. Reds got lucky today. End of story. It happens.
  18. Rcal10
    Cubs struck out twice today and hit rockets. Maybe, previously he pitched well and struck a lot of guys out. But today he was not good. If he typically gets hit this hard, by the end of the year his era will be in the mid to high 4,s
  19. Rcal10
    I get this and agree with everyone who says they need a saying pitcher and a late inning pen arm. But who? Who is even available. I like Joe Tyan, but why would the Twins trade him and what would they have to give up. What pitchers are really available? I know people mention Alcantara. He has just been bad this year. Eflin is another name. Last few times out he is getting hit hard. I just don’t see too many available starting pitchers. I would love Gore, but he is going to cost a lot.
  20. Rcal10
    It is still not a skill to just have them hit 107mph balls to center.
  21. Rcal10
    Just one of those days where nothing goes right. Abbott was very lucky and Rea has been pretty unlucky.
  22. Rcal10
    DFA. Basically his Cub career is over. That is what they did.
  23. Rcal10
    Justin Turner goes deep. He is coming around
  24. Rcal10
    Even crazier is Rea is 5-0 lifetime against the Reds.
  25. Rcal10
    They laugh on the phone if the Cubs start with Brown and Wicks. I would guess the Pirates say they get to choose any 3 players (except PCA) in the system.
