    It would be his second. He got the win in NY.
  2. Rcal10
    It was. But he did give up one real loud and long ball to the deepest part of the field that has it gone out would have changed his line to 3 runs in 4 innings. I didn’t really notice much more hard contract, but that one was crushed.

    I know what they did against them. But they were tight games. I said the Sox play them tight, and IMO they view these games as their biggest games of the year. Seems they line up the best pitching they can against them and if I remember correctly, Robert came back from an injury right before the Cubs series. He sat versus Milwaukee . Didn’t Morel hit a game winning walk off against them to save them from losing to the Sox? Weren’t the other games at close? I think they won 3 games by one run and another by 2. My only statement was I do worry about the games against the Sox, especially with the Cubs treading water right now.

    And struck out the side in the 3rd

    I don’t think they will wait long in Shaw. They just wanted to see him take aggressive swings and he seems to be doing that now.
  6. Rcal10
    Shaw just walked it off with his second homer of the game.

    Scare me as well. TBH, I would gladly take 2 of 3. Seems these games always mean more to the Sox than others during the season. And no matter the records, they always play the Cubs tough. On top of that, Fridaynlooks like a wind blowing out day, so no telling how it ends up. Last I looked winds were 15-20mph, out.

    His second time up he hit a rocket to the second baseman that handcuffed him. Was over 100mph. If he keeps hitting the ball hard I expect him to be back by the end of May. Hope so, anyway.

    Hope the game is played as you drew it up🤞👍

    My guess is Busch won’t start either and Kelly will be the DH. Turner at 1st.
  11. Rcal10
    I agree with your basic point. But we are actually more than 25% done with the regular season.
  12. Rcal10
    You said they would bring Shaw back at that time. I thought you meant if Shaw plays well the next week, he could come up and Moses go down. So are you saying when they send Moises down they also release someone (Lopez) so that along with activating Happ they would then bring back Shaw? To me Ballasteros going down and Shaw coming up are two entirely different transactions. Moises goes down when Happ is ready. Shaw comes up if/when he is ready. Lopez cut.

    Rose may have been a scumbag, but there are plenty of those in the HOF. If we are putting guys in based on what they did as a ballplayer, without cheating the game by taking enhancement drugs, he belongs I. The ball.
  14. Rcal10
    Wouldn’t they just activate Happ when they send Moises down?
  15. Rcal10
    If “move down in role” is code for released, I agree.
  16. Rcal10
    Wait, are you saying this is actually good?
  17. Rcal10
    Let’s not get carried away😅
  18. Rcal10
    Maybe the Marlins pen is as bad as the Cubs.
  19. Rcal10
    Justin horsefeathers Turner!!!! Hell yeah!
  20. Rcal10
    He is right. Ball is dead when it hits the batter.
  21. Rcal10
    Brown threw over 100 pitches last start. And they were hitting him. I think it was fine that he pulled him. Problem is Merryweather sucks.
  22. Rcal10
    I didn’t like Merryweather to start the season with the team. Then he fooled me for a bit by doing well. Now he is exactly what I thought he was. Time to move away from him. He sucks.
  23. Rcal10
    I don’t care where Dansby hits. I am just glad he is hitting so the dumb comments about him being another Heyward signing could stop for a bit. His war is about what you would expect after 40+!games and he is trending to a 4+ war yet again. So maybe people will be quiet for a while.
  24. Rcal10
    It is possible, but I think it isn’t very likely. I don’t see the Cubs moving Busch to 3rd. He has done so well at 1st. And who know if Ballestaros could even be ok at 1st.
  25. Rcal10
    The problem is Turner looked awful last year in May as well. And he turned it around to have a solid season. He is also always hit late in his career.’so not that easy to just cut ties, IMO. On top of that he has been a great influence on PCA and other guys on the team. It will be hard for him to turn it around here with such limited AB. So I get that. I just don’t think it is as cut and dry that he sucks and will never hit this year. If they do decide that, I am fine wjth a dfa, I am just not sure they should decide that this soon.
