So it begins
-
Yeah - was a bit over eager that AB….
-
Is it me, or does Suzuki get more backwards Ks than any other player in the league? Obviously, I watch a hell of a lot more cub games than other MLB teams, but he strikes out at least once a game It seems by just staring at one that’s close to the zone.
-
Holy hell is he on fire 🔥
-
Well said - good and fair points
-
I’m definitely not disputing that pitchers didn’t get injured or experience burn out years ago - I’m simply saying that the training or conditioning is lacking if you’re having this high of a rate of pitching injuries. It’s like every time you turn around another pitcher is on the shelf - it’s crazy
-
Hey Jason - I’m not disagreeing with what you’re saying. Today’s pitchers focus a ton more on velocity and spin rate, so naturally it’s going to affect the ligaments at a higher rate. I guess a better question would be this: What training regimen did they use 20-30+ years ago that allowed pitchers to pitch every THIRD day as opposed to 5-6th day? Why were the injuries significantly lower then as compared to pitchers now? Nolan Ryan and Randy Johnson are outliers perhaps, but there were others with 92-96mph velo and “high spins” as well, yet they maintained (key word) a much heavier workload and did it for longevity. 🤷♂️ - maybe training staffs should take a page from that generation?
-
So…..when do people start looking into the Cubs’ pitching or training staff? The amount of injuries and guys on the IL (particularly all the pitchers) is not only ridiculous, but concerning. What a cluster horsefeathers
-
This team sucks - goodnight 💤
-
Who didn’t see this horsefeathers coming
-
Idc who gets the W - just get one ☝️ 😆
-
At what point does Nico shift to SS and Ramirez or Shaw take over 2nd? Swanson is like a pitcher hitting
-
No - I saw what you saw too. Camera angle looking at it straight on.
-
Matty Ice 🤣
-
That’s close
-
Can’t argue that
-
100% - what sense did that make?
-
Yeah shake your horsefeathers head, Phil - I’m not even upset with you……you just suck. Counsell should shake his head
-
All I’m saying is if they lose this game because of this inning this game is 100% on Craig Counsell
-
Is there a reason Counsell calls Maton’s number when it’s a tight game and high leverage situation?
-
0 for horsefeathers 9 with RISP
-
At this point - horsefeathers Bregman PCA on third no outs - just hit backside and he scores. Kids are taught that concept. Then again PCA at second and pops up. He is a drain
-
Lead off triple - can’t get him across. They blow PCA just carrying this team lately.
-
Yes - this option is much more preferable 😂
-
FUGGIN boom 💥
