    Yep, 2 of 3 from each central team on the road is good. But I felt better with the Pirates seeies win than I do with this one. I like winning that last game.

    I think he is going to miss a lot more than the Mets. But if, somehow, it is only cramps again, why skip him? He will get an extra day because the Cubs are off on Thursday. But honestly, I doubt it is just cramps. I think he will be out a bit.

    That didn’t look good. Might see Horton soon.

    Isn’t Sweeney his partner at Iowa?

    And it was a perfect pitch for a catcher to throw. Ball was up and fast to him. Easy to be quick with that throw. And he made a great throw. Still the right call to send Pete. Everything had to go well for the Brewers to get him.

    Hope Imanaga gets the same strike zone Peralta had.

    I think Taillon has been pretty solid after the first few months when they signed him. He has had a few bad starts, but for the most part pitched to above his contract. He is a fine MOR starter. But MOR starters are going to have a bad start every so often.

    I don’t mind the trade back at all. They may have still ended up with the DT and OT they took if they stayed at 41 and 72. It sounds like they really like the A&M tackle. Either way, maybe a different OT guy and DL line, but similar. Even when they moved back to 132, from 109, had they gone with either Kansas, Kansas St, SMU, Oregon or even Miami RB here and then drafted Maryland LB in rd 7 I would have liked the draft a lot better. But maybe they like the Rutgers guy and maybe he ends up better than all the guys who did have 3rd or 4th round grades on them who were available when 132 came up. I also like they got a 4th next year.

    To be fair, the pens era is really hit hard by 3 innings. 3 terrible innings. Without those innings the pens era era is under 3. And in 2 of the games with the awful innings, the Cubs came back and won the game anyway. And in those 2 games of Workman makes a play that should be made, they give up a lot less runs. In reality the pen hasn’t been that bad and in fact, good, but for 3 major blow up innings.

    Wasn’t how I would have thought they would win 2 or 3, but I will take it. Love to do that again this weekend.

    It’s like I write this myself. Nicely done.

    The Athletic has the Bears ranked 19 in the draft class. That is probably fair. My issue is after the first 2 picks I think the Bears were probably top 3. Which means they failed badly after the top 2. They are 19th due to strength of the first 2 picks. I think the corner was best value after the first 2 picks, both second round picks were meh, the LB and MSU OL picks were bad (probably not drafted if not for the Bears)and I guess the RB was good value. But he isn’t a guy to split time with Swift. If he was they wouldn’t be talking about Chubb and Hall.
  13. Rcal10
    At what cost? Is he a free agent or do they have to trade for him? How does he fit in the Bears payroll? He would be a good get, but I am not sure he is worth the cost in salary and draft capital if they have to trade for him.

    He has done that all year late in a game with a lefty pitching, so that didn’t surprise me. I don’t like it, but he does it. I am very surprised he stayed with Berti when he could have brought in Amaya on that last AB. Just a very frustrating loss so we will find anything he did to complain about. But I would have done Amaya in the 9th. Has he done something to extend the game Lopez or Brujan could have handled 3rd.
  15. Rcal10
    If the Cubs don’t come back this will be the dumbest loss of the year. First run scored in a bloop to right and then 2 runs because of an error and then a ball deflected into the outfield. Just stupid bad luck on the McCuthen ball.
  16. Rcal10
    That is terrible. Don’t understand how that can happen. Typically something like that happens reaching for a ball. Hope he is ok. But damn, how does that happen?
  17. Rcal10
    In honor of Clemente they made the wall 2 feet higher than his number? Thats strange.
  18. Rcal10
    Yep, and weakass hits that get through.
  19. Rcal10
    Why isn’t Counsil starting the runners. I wanted Swanson to run with Berti up and then when Berti and Happ were on why not have the runners going in 3-2. Rucker does t strike out much. Why get conservative now. Bart sucks throwing.
  20. Rcal10
    But he is right. I hate the white Sox, but I want them to win today. Same with the Cardinals.
  21. Rcal10
    I don’t think Long belongs with those guys. I doubt anyone would take him in lieu of the other 3. I think if they keep Tucker they can part with 2 of Alcantara, Cassie and Ballesteros.
  22. Rcal10
    I don’t think they trade him. I think they sign Tucker and trade Happ. Bring Mo up to DH next year. Maybe catch a little. But, I agree, if he is traded it better be for someone very good.
  23. Rcal10
    Of course the Cubs fans should be hoping the Cardinals win. The Reds are the better team. If the Cardinals win it is good for the Cubs. So go Cardinals.
  24. Rcal10
    You got that in 2 innings of mob up duty? Would you have said the same thing had the long ball hit down the left field line been fair and a 2 run homer? Would you still think he is decent if next time out he gives up a run? This is what is crazy about the pen. When they do well everyone loves the guy. Then a bad outing and he is a bum.
  25. Rcal10
    Because they got Estrada when the Cubs gave up on him, and 7 other pen arms who are better.
