I’d let him sit until Friday. We’re playing the Rockies so it’s not like we’ll need him or anything.
-
Swanson at least produced on the front end of his 7 year deal before his inevitable age 30’s decline, and he’s been a major black hole in the lineup up to this point. This isn’t the case with a 32 YO Bregman. The process was strange. I’m curious what their internal models projected since ZIPS wasn’t flattering to Bregman.
-
Nice clutch hitting guys. Make that 2-20 with RISP this series.
-
Cubs are being blanked because their $177 and $175 million infielders can’t drive in a horsefeathers runner in scoring position with 2 outs.
-
Looking for their first sweep in San Francisco since 2013 when nate schierholtz hit the go ahead RBI home run.
-
I’ll be enraged if Seiya’s knee injury is serious. His bat finally wakes up and now this horsefeathers. The offense lives and dies with him.
-
2-15 with RISP in the first 2 games and 11 runs. It’s so much easier to score when you can hit doubles and homers instead of singles and walks.
-
Suzukis bat finally starts to wake up and now he hurt his knee again. horsefeathers enraging.
-
Just extend the season to 202 games to generate more revenue to offset any dips in player salary with a floor and a cap and everyone’s happy.
-
Exactly that. There’s no real plan to create a true championship window, just sustained mid 80’s win talent much like the 2000’s whitesox with the hope of pulling a 2005 out of their ass. Unfortunately ownership is content with this so I’m not sure you’ll find much of an upgrade until their philosophy changes as an organization.
-
His best work has been acquiring young controlled talent through trades like Palencia, PCA, Brown and Busch. He’s in a tough spot where he only has access to a fringe top 10 payroll without permission to exceed the LT and doesn’t have the small market perks of being awarded extra draft picks so this is the expected result. But any development from Shaw has been stalled with the Bregman contract. Instead of Cease he has $400+ million owed to 3 aging middle infielders. So if Bregman doesn’t start playing to the back of his baseball card, which is assuming a lot at age 32 then that’s a serious failure from the team’s projection models and you’re left with your top infield prospect/1st round pick blocked from his natural position. If this team wants to replenish their farm system then trading Ben Brown in the offseason, no matter how counterintuitive can bring in a haul of prospects if he keeps this up. I can’t say I’m confident in Swanson and Bregman playing at a high level for the remainder of their deals.

Cubs have finished 50-42 on the dot after the 70 game mark 3 years in a row. 86-76 seems right.
-
PCA has a 130 wRC+ vs left handed pitching and Busch has a 118. If only they could combine that with their right handed platoon splits from 2025.
-
Suzuki is hitting like 45 against off speed pitches wth RISP and he gets a letter high sinker on a 1-0 count.
-
Suzukis due.
-
Of course. They’ve already scored 5.
-
I’m leaning 6-4 Rockies.
-
They can get out Cabreras contract easily. The infield, not so much.
-
I’m sick and tired of seeing these same faces every year going through their typical 2 month losing benders of horsefeathers hitting and scoring 3 runs max 4+ times/week. Need 3 runs score 2, need 2 runs score 1, need 6 runs score 1, need 2 runs score 15 in an August game where you’re 5 back of a playoff seed. Although lately they don’t even have the sexy run differential during a stretch of games that’s a gift to a team that’s in disarray.
-
Some mental math here, at Coors The Rockies were allowing an average of 7.8 runs/game going into to Tuesday and against the Cubs they’re allowing an average of 6.5 hits/game. I’m so proud of them. What a team.
-
When was Mo’s last double?
-
It makes no sense that they’ve been this bad for this long with a completely healthy lineup.
-
They’re a disgrace.
-
It’s not just that they’re losing, it’s not just that they’re 2-5 vs the A’s, Giants and Rockies, it’s the fact that they’re -20 in the run differential column against these bad teams which makes it so much worse. At least they lost on the margins against a tough schedule in that May-June skid of 2024.
