Couldn't they have just moved the game up a few hours? 11am start is odd but better than someone needing to hop on a plane. I assume this coincides with a Cubs homestsnd so this shouldn't really affect us. Trade an off day now for Aug. Bonus is the guys get to spend father's day with their kids
-
During his hot month this year he was hitting more line drives, fewer GB, and pulling the ball more compared to this slump (since May 8). During his hot month he was also hitting more line drives than last year, and fewer GB. But If he's pulling the ball less and hitting more GB during this slump then what Ron Coomer is saying doesn't make sense.
-
Gausman has been a great signing for them.
-
Nico hitting .148 in June. Wonder if its something mental rather than physical since the beaning. Tentativeness due to some fear or something.
-
Good call, yeah I could see him pinch running and defensive replacement. Not sure how much they'd want him pinch hitting, but they could use another RHH on the bench if Shaw will be iin RF the next while. If he can bunt that could be useful too.

Cubs Send Jordan Wicks Back To Minors
Stratos replied to Steve Drumwright's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I see that Wicks has 101 IP total in the majors with a career 5.86 ERA. In 10 starts in Iowa this year he has a 7.05 ERA. -
True. I usually agree with Boog. You just can't put them together lol
-
Question of the week: Are you ready to move on from Jed?
Stratos replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
So maybe the Cubs are stealing/relaying pitch grips etc at 2b and getting them all wrong? Hahaha. -
Yeah Boog has smartest man in the room syndrome. Why he and Girardi didn't get along. "You were a player and manager but you're wrong about A, B, and C". You can't challenge and call out your broadcast partner live on air. I think Cohen tries to engage with JD with the jokes and whatnot but Cohen isn't funny so JD can't respond so awkwardness fills the air. I feel bad for Cohen, he tries really hard and is probably a nice guy.
-
Did Cohen work alone in Iowa? Maybe that has something to do with it.
-
Shaw has closed up his stance a bunch. Not as extreme as before the tweaks last year but still closer to his old form.
-
Maybe the team could add Bozo the clown on their coaching staff. Lighten up the mood in the clubhouse.
-
Shaw is a SS by trade so he'd probably be fine. I wouldn't bench both Swanson and Nico at the same time though. Maybe Nico needs a couple of days off. Swanson needs a new hitting coach or something.
-
Dodgers fans hate him lol. And White Sox fans, and probably others. Meh whatever. He's a good guy just rambunctious. He'll make the team, maybe not starter. The All-star ballots also highlight everyone's hitting and no defense so that probably doesn't help PCA or Nico.
-
So we're on pace to use 60 pitchers this year? That's not so bad.
-
Storybook first half.
-
Seiya is day to day. That's good.news at least.
-
How long can a SP like the Miz go throwing 100-105.mph until their arm explodes? A shame really.
-
Does Cohen purposefully try to make his voice sound deeper?
-
Part of me wants to see how Counsell reacts if they lose this game. Could burn the stadium down.
-
He plays mostly vs LHP.
-
True, I'm thinking more familiarity for him.
-
If I were Happ I wouldn't waive the NTC so I could stay at Wrigley to try to keep my hitting and fielding numbers as high as possible before FA.
-
Not scoring runs off the worst pitching staff in baseball and at Coors is a new low for this team. Rockies have the worst record in MLB and they lost the first 2 games and could get swept. Incredible.
