    That is what I thought was the issue with yesterday. Cubs didn’t know Bellinger was going to be out until afternoon. I think he will play, because he has to play.
  2. Rcal10
    He would have gotten back. That was the problem. He was close to getting back. Just caught in a bad spot.
  3. Rcal10
    That is a very weak line up.
  4. Rcal10
    Sounds exactly like all Counsell teams. Every year we expect Milw. To suck and they win when no one expects them to be good. Now maybe he does that for the Cubs.

    Who knows. I guess Neris. Don’t like it, but that is my guess.

    Taillon did a nice job. Would have liked to see him get through 6. But only 1 earned run SO FAR.
  7. Rcal10
    A Happ hit here would go a long way towards making this game a little more comfortable.
  8. Rcal10
    I will admit it. I am pulling for him. Love to see him make it all the way back.

    Who knows when PCA even got to Chicago. Not like they knew Bellinger was going to go on the DL. I am not surprised he isn’t starting. Besides that, he has sucked this year. Not excited about his chances of hitting right now.

    It would have been Brown’s throw day anyway. And he only threw maybe 12 pitches. Honestly, it could go either way. As you said, you never know.

    Honestly, Assad as a 5th wouldn’t be so bad, IMO(until Horton is ready). I know he seems be be lucky, but even if he wasn’t as lucky as he has been he isn’t a bad #5. And throw in Brown every so often if you want to give guys an extra day of rest every now and then.
  12. Rcal10
    Seems like when he started fielding better he stopped hitting.

    Didn’t you make that comment about Wisdom, Cooper and Tauchman. Didn’t you suggest all would be gone? Maybe you did say it when Mastrobuoni was on the team. But I thought Wisdom was here already. Honestly everyone says so many things, definitely including me, I can’t keep things straight. Either way I guess Cooper makes sense with Wisdom up. Made little sense to keep them both. But I doubt Madrigal or Tauchman get sent down and replaced with better. Right now IMO this is the best 13 they could field. When Suzuki comes back I would like to see Canario down and go with All the other guys and Suzuki.
  14. Rcal10
    That’s right. I forgot about that.
  15. Rcal10
    Wonder what happened with Smyly.. I know it says hip impingement, but what exactly is that and when did it happen?
  16. Rcal10
    This is very true. Do so earlier too. Look how long Hosmer stuck around. And he was way worse than Cooper. Mancini stayed even longer and he was worse than Cooper. A quick move tells me they actually believe this team can be good and are not going to wait around like they did last year. Good to see.

    Guess I took ascending to the majors successfully to mean come up and be a good player. With all equally due respect, please realize when someone is only kidding. Maybe you should have seen the smiley face and realized I was just joking.
  18. Rcal10
    That is just to put someone on the 40 man. That isn’t the issue here. I think 2 guys have to go on the IL. Hope He sticks is one of them and really hope Lieter isn’t one.
  19. Rcal10
    Super star PROSPECT. No one said anything about being a star in the majors……😬
  20. Rcal10
    That works for me. They might also feel better about Morel at 3rd so they want a left handed bat for DH against right handed pitching. Tauchman is in the line up so now Mervis can DH.
  21. Rcal10
    I know that. But when they send him back do they have to wait 15 days for him to come back up? Does him coming up as player 27 count as being called up? NM, answered while I was asking the question. Thanks
  22. Rcal10
    Kind of how I feel. Once Wisdom came back Cooper didn’t make sense. I thought he was ok, but I am fine with them trying Mervis again. Just hope he gets semi regular AB as a DH when a righty pitches.
  23. Rcal10
    Ok, so if Little is coming too does that mean 2 injuries? Or did little coming up as the 27th man not count as an actual call up?
  24. Rcal10
    Why is that? Hasn’t he been down long enough?
  25. Rcal10
    If I had to guess I would say Canario. Maybe Morel has shown enough for them to put him at 3rd more regular so now they want either the DH to be Mervis against a right handed pitcher or Cooper or Wisdom against a left handed pitcher. Maybe even so much as Cooper and Wisdom play and Busch sits against SOME lefties. Not a straight platoon for Busch. Just maybe a day every so often against a lefty. As for the pen arm I would guess Brewer gets sent back down.
