    Makes you wonder if he was tipping.

    These guys deserve to be heckled.
  3. Bull
    Worthy of ridicule.
  4. Bull
    Ridiculous.

    We need to fix this. It is spreading. its spelled Rea. Colin Rea.
  6. Bull
    Feel like that should have been an error on Comforto and an unearned run.
  7. Bull
    Em bare assed.

    Why, he's already been as embarrassed as he can get unless he loses the speedos.

    FIP

    Jobu is pleased. Bats are awake.

    Assad showing you may be right. Steele coming back next month. It's gonna be ok.
  12. Bull
    Assad looked good. Let's hope he continues to beat his FIP. They need him to be a dude.

    We are the woeful. But seriously, I'm still confident they can turn things around. There's just too much talent on this club for this to continue.

    Have I mentioned how much i love having the bullpen usage report on the first page of game threads? 'Cuz I do.

    For sure. and I think they will. Happ will not strikeout 25% of the time. (It became pretty overblown that I think Happ is approaching the age where he will decline, but not THIS level of decline.) Ballesteros will hit. PCA will hit. Bregman, Busch etc. Amaya and Nico will not be expected to carry the lineup. It is early, SSS, and has been frigid. The bats will heat up with the weather.

    It's never good when your best pitcher leaves a game with throwing forearm discomfort. But they are much better prepared to deal with it than last year if he's out for any period of time. Steele coming back soon. Brown looking better than last year, Assad healthy. Crazy depth. And last year they won 92. This is bad; this does not end the season.

    I'd like to also not have a garbage bench next year. Yes, Bregman, Hoerner, and Swanson are all signed for the next four years. But in that four years there is a high chance that at least one of them misses significant time with an IL injury (strain/sprain), a non-zero chance one of them misses more than half a season with an injury requiring surgery or breaking a bone via HBP. There is a high chance one of them will have a nagging injury like Nico's injury that required surgery following the 2024 season. If that happens do you want Shaw manning 2b-3b for 20-60 games or Nick Madrigal. If that doesn't happen, in 2016 Ben Zobrist had 631 PAs, Addison Russell had 598, Kris Bryant had 699, and Javier Baez had 450. This is not a problem that needs solving.

    The Gen Z intern would do much better. This is being posted by Crane Kennedys 65 year old secretary.

    Or just keep him and not have a garbage bench for once.
  20. Bull
    This would not be a problem. If he's good enough to keep, he will get at bats. You can let one of Happ or Suzuki walk. If Suzuki walks you get a RHH bat first to platoon with Moises, and play RF when he isn't DH-ing and Shaw keeps his current role, just a little more RF. If you let Happ walk, you sign a lefty bat first and do the same thing with Shaw in lefty, or right when Suzuki is DH-ing vs lefty opposing pitchers. Too many good players when you are facing FA with Suzuki and Happ is not a bad thing.
  21. Bull
    Cubs Win!
  22. Bull
    Why not let Ballesteros take an AB vs a lefty with nothing on the line here?
  23. Bull
    Happ looked like he was showing up the wind from Thursday. ”how bout that? That enough?”
  24. Bull
    His entire high floor peak. This does not lock him up for his entire high ceiling peak. It’s equally the Cubs making sure they get the most of his singular defensive prowess (possibly the best ever over the course of this contract) and Pete betting on himself to have made the necessary adjustments to command top dollar at the end of this contract. that said, if he’s able to pull that off, the Cubs end up with a steal on the two FA years they just bought.
  25. Bull
    92. This is a "run it back" team. Add Steele, Cabrera, Amaya and Bregman. Lose Tucker and maybe 1 or 2 key injuries. Retooled bullpen. No reason not to win 92 again. Hard to predict more.
