    Hate to be satisfied with a 2-4 trip. And I really think the pitching match ups are pretty good for the Cubs. I wouldn’t be upset only winning 1 here. But I would like 2 of 3.

    Did not realize they were that good in LA the last 3 years. I believe prior to that good stretch they were something like 4-15 at Dodger stadium since 2016. Not sure of the exact regular season record but it was bad. Still a very rough place and team to play. What they did in Sacramento and against the Angels last year is irrelevant to my comment. I did say tough to play “those two teams out West”, not any team out West.

    I think 12-2 might have something to do with it. Maybe just took him out🤷
  4. Rcal10
    Yep, win the SD series and it is a great road trip. Tough to play these two teams out West.

    I think Assad goes down. He will be back, but he threw a lot of pitches. Probably won’t be available again for some time.
  6. Rcal10
    Double post.

    But by that logic, should Ballesteros batted with guys on 1st and second with no outs. He hasn’t been good against lefties, in the minors. Of course you say nothing about that because he walked. An AB in April with the. bases loaded down 4 isn’t a bad decision. Or at least not any worse than not pinch hitting for Mo.

    Hindsight is a great thing. PCA started the winning rally last night against Scott with a line drive hit to right. They weren’t taking him out tonight. And shouldn’t have.
  9. Rcal10
    No.
  10. Rcal10
    You might be right. And, for that matter, I think the CB will be decent. But they missed guys they should have had at 57 and 69. Could have added either an OL, edge or even LB of value with those picks and still got the other guys.
  11. Rcal10
    Bad draft. After round one the only value pick was the CB. Center and TE will play, but drafted way too early. The rest could have signed with the team as ab undrafted FA. Just a terrible job by Poles.
  12. Rcal10
    I actually hope he continues to struggle and is a bust. I agree with you about being happy he is doing poorly. Hopefully it continues tonight. 🤞
  13. Rcal10
    He is 24. He still might end up a solid pitcher.
  14. Rcal10
    Or, a guy they could have invited to camp after the draft. Poles sucks.

    Anytime a runner is thrown out at the plate a certain group of people will complain and call it a bad send. But both sends were absolutely was the correct call. Boog and JD touched on this the other day. Any 3rd base coach that never gets a guy thrown out at home is also most likely costing the team more runs by holding runners up than he is if he sent a few more. It’s all about percentages. I would guess on the first send if was a 70% chance of scoring. So send makes sense. If you hold him you have 1st and 3rd with one out. Does that equate to a 70% chance of scoring? Probably not. The second send was even a better chance of scoring. Probably 90%. Dodgers made two great throws and Pages made a great play getting to that ball and releasing so quickly. Again, absolutely the right call to send the runner.

    How do you in one sentence say you love the draft so far and the the next sentence say you question the 3rd round pick? They have other needs. Why a TE. Trrriblenpick. Don’t really like a center at 57 either. Feel they reached a bit on him.!f he was their 89th pick I would love him. But not at 57.
  17. Rcal10
    Good trade. Terrible pick at 57.
  18. Rcal10
    I like the pick, but I think I would have liked the trade right after that pick. I would have liked getting the 28, 68 and 168 for the 26, and 89 pick. If the Oregon safety was fine then take the safety from Roledo or a corner. I don’t think there is much difference between safeties.
  19. Rcal10
    Really I rate all match ups similar. Sheenan has an era at almost 6. Sasaki isn’t great either. There best pitcher facing the Cubs, faces Shota. Hard to beat the Dodgers, especially in LA. But I feel the cubs have an equal chance in each game. No obvious pitching advantage.
  20. Rcal10
    Is he better than Kingery? It is a low bar to be the 26th man. Maybe he clears it?🤷
  21. Rcal10
    No, I’m not expecting a sweep. But your comment was kind of doom and gloom. We have to win game 2 and hope for another. As if the others weren’t possible. The pitching match ups aren’t bad. But that said, doesn’t mean I expect to win them all. Hard to “expect” a win in any match up. I just don’t think game 1 and 3 are any less likely than game 2.
  22. Rcal10
    What makes Dodgers starter in game one so great? Why can’t the Cubs win that one. And then Shota faces Wrobleski on Sunday. Again, why is that advantage Dodgers?
  23. Rcal10
    I guess Little can come back up.🤷
  24. Rcal10
    Right. It is a play we all expect him to make. But it wasn’t routine. He is fine in right. They need his bat and they aren’t sitting Ballestaros so someone else can play right and Seiya DH.
  25. Rcal10
    I would take 3-3 out west. What a homestand.
