  1. It's more like Shota and pray for offense. Cabrera has been fine, but not great. We need super Jamo, like he was in the 2nd half of last year. This situation really sucks.
  2. Isn't Barnes one of the best SPs in Iowa? Man, we just don't have good choices.
  3. True, but it's pretty much either Brown or Assad. I'd like to see how Brown pitches as a SP. After Steele comes back, either Brown or Steele could joins the pen, depending on how they perform.
  4. Or, if Ben can perform well as a SP, let him start through the end of the playoffs.
  5. Assad or Ben, I would think.
  6. Never stop. Crazy.
  7. I agree Ray is one of the better options. He's probably better than Cabrera and Boyd right now, but not better than Shota, at least for now. If Steele doesn't look good, I think the Cubs will try Ben Brown as a SP later in the season and the playoffs, if Ben keeps pitching well. Right now, Ben is looking better than Cabrera and Boyd. Then, use Assad and Steele for long relief. That said, somebody might get hurt before the TDL, so it's very hard to predict. Like Rcal10 said, way too early, but it's fun to talk about.
  8. TBH, I think you're speculating too much. I'm not Counsell, but to me, the difference between Kelly and Amaya isn't that big defensively. I guess Carson is better, when it comes to ABS challenge. A few pitchers, like Shota pitches better, when Amaya is catching. Offensively, Kelly has been better. I just want Amaya to catch, every time Shota starts. We could probably pick a few extra wins
  9. I don't call his defense horrible, but yeah, I think Shaw could be better defensively and the base running. Bregman needs to hit better for sure. And, I think he will. That said, I've been thinking more than a few times, what if the Cubs didn't sign Bregman. Shaw should've been the everyday 3B. Signed a good SP + a bullpen...... Either way, we're winning, and I'm sure Bregman has helped the team behind the scene. So, I can't complain.
  10. Good for you, really. I'm far far away from Chicago, and someday, I'll be there. I've seen a few Cubs games, when they came to SF, but Wrigley must be special.
  11. I have to wonder if our pitchers were good or the Reds hitters sucked. Aside from a couple of guys, they don't look good.
  12. And, so far, Craig has done great. Well, most of the time.
  13. As much as Seiya sucks, when bases are loaded, we started winning, when he came back. What does that mean? Maybe, nothing, but we're having fun!
  14. Wow, Rolison did it again. I bet he never thought he would pitch in this kind of high leverage situation two days in a row this year.
  15. Man, the Reds pitcher looked just like me in the little league. Sometimes, I walked 3 guys in the same inning. Yet, the Cubs couldn't score.
