    I think that's 11 or 12 in a row at Wrigley. 11 at the very least.

    Kilian averaged 94mph his last 2 years with us so he now has a 3 mph velo bump
  3. Stratos
    Wonder if the neck thing is related to his getting beaned in the head.

    Impressive recovery for Taillon. I thought he was toast when the homers were hit
  5. Stratos
    I was very impressed by the Padres catcher who ran after a loose ball in the dirt while tapping his head with a runner at 3rd because he had to get the challenge off.

    Kilian is back with SF and averaging 97mph this year.

    Last 14 games PCA hitting .292/.393/.438 for a 140 wRC+ with 10.7% BB% Shaw hitting .400/.444/.560 for a 186 wRC+

    Counsell to PCA: Against LHP don't swing at anything unless it looks right down the middle. PCA: Ok.

    If everyone else is healthy come Oct we have Shota, Boyd, Cabrera as SP 1-3 for the playoffs. Id take anything from Steele that's better than Taillon/Rae as our 4th.

    Not sure if mentioned in last night's thread but Taylor said during last broadcast that Palencia was doing some throwing off a mound and may be back in about a week.
  11. Stratos
    At the beginning of the broadcast Taylor said it's a flexor in his throwing arm, had imaging done, his repaired elbow/UCL is fine, but CC said Steele won't be back until after the ASB. Was previously on pace for about early June return.
  12. Stratos
    All the Cubs pitchers who have thrown for so far this year omg lol:
  13. Stratos
    Horton also had a flexor repaired in his recent surgery. Numerous flexors are in the forearm, even around the wrist which i imagine is why Horton felt discomfort there when he walked off the mound. This isn't disastrous yet for Steele but it isn't good.

    Hindsight is 20/20 of course. But post-Steele setback and more pen injuries i think Hoyer would probably have upped his offer for Giolito even if he's not that good. The deal he signed for was quite small. If we're in the market for a SP again this trade deadline that would be maddening. But if the offense is still looking good by then they may have to bite the bullet and try to acquire someone better than a Soroka type.

    Yeah good call on the foot. We're not sure why he moved Mo up and Busch down, could be a matchup CC doesn't like for Busch tonight, so lineup could revert to old when Bregman is back, or not, impossible to say now. I certainly dont think Mo is intimidated by the MLB, he even looked really confident catching last night. Guy has major swag. So doesn't seem like a guy who would be bothered as a rookie by the pressure of hitting 2nd.

    Switching Seiya and Mo with Busch and Bregman in the lineup or whatever isn't going to hurt anything. Nobody is suggesting having PCA lead off or something ridiculous. Just changing up the dynamic a bit. Maybe it clicks maybe it doesn't, we don't know. Either way it probably doesn't even matter.
  18. Stratos
    Why not try it? The risk is zero.
  19. Stratos
    Honestly maybe some of these LOB issues could be improved with some batting order tweaks.
  20. Stratos
    Yeah he's had some good ABs lately for sure, a great sign. I'm sure the power will come.
  21. Stratos
    With so many of our good pitchers hurt, credit goes to the rotation and pen for holding down the fort.
  22. Stratos
    Did we get any clarification about Taylor's report vs CC?
  23. Stratos
    Is there a point anymore in using top draft picks on pitchers?. They can barely stay on the field and when they do it's only for 5-6 IP per start. The Theo formula worked pretty well.
  24. Stratos
    Maybe the bats just needed to get out of the March/early April cold Wrigley nightmare. They hit well in Tampa and Philly. PCA/Nico are from California, Bregman from New Mexico and played in Houston, Mo/Amaya from Latin America, Swanson from Atlanta. Would make sense.
  25. Stratos
    Hindsight is 20/20. Didn't hear anyone wanting to turn Nico into a HR hitter before Opening Day, because he's never been able to drive the ball out of the ballpark much but has been able to slash liners all over the field. It's not exactly a hot take. And sample size still applies here Like I said above, if Nico can add more HR to his game to the point that its worth him hitting more FB I'll be very glad to wrong.
