And a nice bounce back from last year when they went 0-3 vs Luzzardo and Nola scoring 2 earned runs in 19 innings compared to 11 earned in 10.1 since Tuesday.
-
He hasn’t had an extra base hit since opening day either.
-
How bad is the Phillies defense and or how unlucky was Luzzardo with batted ball luck last year to where his FIP was almost a run lower than his ERA? The lineup is as deep as advertised so far scoring 35 runs in 4 games without an XBH from Suzuki, Busch or Bregman.
-
Bregman stole the Phillies signals?
-
Luzzardo killed us last year too.
-
Good work against Luzzardo.
-
Bote was never the cubs top prospect, let alone a top 100 at any point in his career. Unlike Bote Shaw still has trade value on a team that wants a high floor, young infielder with 6 years of team control. I see a smidge of Addison Russell in him too.
-
Cubs have a 410 team wOBA since Sunday and a 313 xWOB with a 56% ground ball rate.
-
Captain Nico.
-
Of course they hit a horsefeathers 3 run homer with their guys on while white we hit into a double play. horsefeathers the Phillies.
-
If Happ hit free agency this year I wonder if they’d end up trading Shaw and keeping Cassie.
-
Right. But it’s unclear what his future as a Cub is and any future in the infield was slammed shut when they extended Nico. Do they want him under team control for 6 years to be Zobrist 2.0? Is he auditioning to become Happ or Suzukis successor? Are they waiting for a player at a position of need to become available and then shop him? It’s just odd to see a team so focused on on staying under the tax spending a combined $326 million on 2 infielders blocking their top prospect at his natural position.
-
It’s an incoherent plan. I’m assuming they want to keep their options open hoping he can supplant Happ? Unless you DH Bregman and develop Mo into an everyday catcher then he’s a lame duck if he still has an infield caliber bat.

2026 Chicago Bears Offseason Thread

I’m pretty sure it was mostly muscle he added actually. I’m hesitant to go d line in round 2 like any other premium position. Someone like Gervon Dexter is a hit in the 40’s yet you’re not really moving the needle with a rotational guy who you could just as easily find in free agency every offseason, just more expensive. You can find a day one starter at safety or even linebacker/corner at 57 and 60. -
Assad is another typical high floor, FIP beating soft tossing Cub pitcher who gets shelled vs a team like the Phillies without pin point command. This is a bad stretch of games to have these injuries in the rotation.
-
PCA would swing at a seagull in the outfield. He’s been brutal.
-
He has no long term value on the Cubs unless he can develop into a mid 700’s OPS guy with a +glove to supplant Happ in the outfield with a clogged infield.
-
Absolutely no power from the guys who carried the lineup last year. Wake the horsefeathers up Bregman.
-
I hate the Phillies.
-
Another hit with RISP for the Phillies. Cubs wouldn’t score a run with bases loaded and 9 outs per inning. Enough of this horsefeathers.
-
Literally. He hasn’t even hit it foul yet. It’s comical
-
PCA is an immaculate 0-2 tonight. He hasn’t taken a pitch for a ball in his last 4 at bats (all strike outs) on no more than 4 pitches.
-
Cubs are elite at advancing exactly one base, and 3 times max usually.
-
PCA is playing whack a mole in the batters box. It’s excruciating to watch.
-
PCA is swings at pitches like he’s a goalie blocking pucks.
