    Maybe it is the worst new take. Most of the others are retreads. It is also the one that didn’t age well, at all.

    I think they have a spot in the 40 man, so anyone can come up. Maybe they bring up Sanders for a start and put Assad in the pen. 🤷 I imagine when Boyd comes back Assad goes to the pen.
  4. Rcal10
    There isn’t a guy in the minors worth bringing up.
  5. Rcal10
    Who are they bringing up? Are they just going to wait on Boyd?
  6. Rcal10
    Hoerner should stop trying to hit fly balls may be the worst take of all.

    I was just going to ask if people would say that. TBH, I am very happy about that homer to extend to an 8 run lead.
  8. Rcal10
    Feel a little better now. I know it is mainly Cub fan craziness to worry with a 6 run lead. But I can’t help it. And with the pen so depleted it is hard not to be nervous.

    Wind blowing out. This game could get close. Not over.

    I don’t like Webb AT ALL. NOT GOOD.

    Great point. So why didn’t DeRosa want him on team USA?
  12. Rcal10
    If the Cubs want to put all their resources towards a starting pitcher(Skubal), I am fine with them not spending too much money for a corner outfielder. Let a kids have the spot. They have Long, Ramirez, Triantos, Shaw & Alcantara who can all battle for corner outfielder spots. Maybe add a FA at a lower cost who can compete as well.

    Nico really shouldn’t try to hit homers. He just doesn’t have the power for it and it is costing him hits. 😅
  14. Rcal10
    Does seem like a odd take by Stratos. Nothing, at all, wrong with whatever Nico is doing.
  15. Rcal10
    7 hits and 4 walks and getting on by a hbp from guys not 2 thru 5 is pretty good as well.

    Laceration to his middle finger.
  17. Rcal10
    My guess is Assad. He can’t be used for several days so why not get a fresh arm. They can do another bullpen day or Brown can start if they need a starter before Boyd comes back. UPDATE: Roberts to Il.
  18. Rcal10
    Then who plays center for PCA….. Shaw? I’m fine with Alcantara coming up, I just don’t think they will do it because of wanting to get him AB. Same problem with Long. im not too worried about Busch. They can play Kelly there if they have to. And I think he will play most times anyway. PCA might need to be out against lefties. Which is why Chas McCormick makes sense to me. Or Carlson, if they still have him.
  19. Rcal10
    I’m really not sure the point of Kingery, but I know it isn’t for him to play first base. Kelly isn’t playing 1st base over Kingery. That said, they should let him go. Not sure they would bring Alcantara up, however. Might be Chas. I think, if/when Alcantara comes up they will want him playing 3 or 4 games a week. Not sure they are a spot for him to do that.

    Another Shaw misplay cost the Cubs a run.!
  21. Rcal10
    Pecota-baseball prospectus, gives the Cubs a 76% chance of making the playoffs. Why are projections so different. FYI, I think Pecota is closer to the correct odds. But like you said, too early to really worry about that.
  22. Rcal10
    I think Busch will still play a lot against lefties. But right now while working thru a terrible slump I am fine with them giving him the day. Plus, Kelly is pretty good.
  23. Rcal10
    No it is not. He isn’t suggesting the Cubs are as good as the Dodgers. He is saying even great teams have bad stretches. The Dodgers are a perfect example of that.

    How about that pen. 3 more scoreless today. 6 innings yesterday without an earned run. We only comment when the pen gives up a run. How about commenting when it does well.
  25. Rcal10
    I agree. It is very frustrating. Which is why I do understand venting. I try not commenting much during games because I realize most comments during a game are hot takes in the moment. I am very disappointed in their start. But I still believe they are a good team. And at some point the team will start playing well.
