  1. There has to be SOMETHING done by Sunday. You can't punt a game against the White Sox. You can't risk losing this series because you are pitching Brown on Sunday. You also don't want to "waste" Boyd on the White Sox. As of right now, who pitches Sunday? Brown? Call up Birdsell for a spot? You have to make a trade by then.
  2. Yeah, I have no problem with the decision. Seiya makes that catch 9 times out of 10. A real outfielder makes it 99 times out of 100. Win this game and feel justified that Seiya gets very little time in the field.
  3. Apparently Brujan is getting slower. I wonder if moving Happ to DH and giving Seiya more time in LF would benefit everyone.
  4. For sure. Still hate it. Would rather call up Little and jettison Roberts even if for one game/series then back to Assad/Taillon or if neither is ready, Wicks or Neely. Its not like Roberts is serving a function, Or just keep Little up. He's killing in Iowa and has even been used as an opener there as of late.
  5. I don't understand opening a righty reliever for a righty Brown. Any chance they follow braisher with Theilbar to face Caglione and Frazier and then back to Brown for the bottom of the order and then face the whole order twice?
  6. I guess through all the all-star-snub talk. There was a good case for him being in, but he's been a product of the environment in large part. Obviously you have to come through, but I guess its a huge strength of this team that Counsel is constantly able to put guys in great places to succeed. The weakness is LHP. ok. Put Seiya between Tucker and PCA.
  7. Keller needs a good outing here to get back into the circle of trust.
  8. Fox announcers saying what I've been screaming for weeks. Seiya is awesome and having a great year, but hitting between two MVP caliber lefties means he gets to face lefties pretty often. He already has 118 PAs against lefties vs 138 all of last year.
  9. It’s to keep his defense in as long as possible. Starters will come out after two PAs. PCAs PA will be the latest in the game. At least that’s what I’m telling myself.
  10. There is no doubt he is still a nincompoop. This does not negate him being the best defender ever.
  11. Vidal Brujan is one of the slowest Cubs Berti is faster, Shaw is much faster. Brujan's only perceived value is as a PR and its just not there. Bring up Long, let him platoon with Busch, get some reps at 3B, and give Hoerner and Dansby some rest, play Shaw or Berti at 2B No matter the alignment you have at least one of Berti, Shaw, Nico, Dansby on the bench ALL of which are better PR options than Brujan.
  12. Keep that positivity back in April where it belongs. It's hope springs eternal, not hope summers eternal.
  13. PCA - The greatest defender...ever?
  14. Trending down may be a function of strained calf.
  15. Who had Taillon, Shota and Steele all miss significant time on their “only the Cubs” bingo card? amazing that this team is so good with everything that has gone wrong.
  16. Why did Cubs just talk to umpires after PCA strikeout?
  17. Posting my preemptive “nincompoop” for when PCA (who I think is amazing) records his daily TOOTBLAN.
  18. I’m at my first game at Wrigley in 10+ years. In sluggers right now. hoping for that sweep!
  19. I think this is the key. I think there's a possibility that Horton starts in the playoffs, but if he does, he's got to be moved out of the rotation ASAP. I still like piggybacking him and Pomeranz 3 and 3 for around a month.
  20. Just tuning in in the bottom of the 6th. Obviously I missed all of Shota's start, but 1 hit, one walk through 5: I don't even need to ask how he looked. Man, it's good to have him back.
  21. Still, over 90 wins is not a team contending for a playoff spot, its a playoff lock. Adjust your scale to "Mediocre, contender, elite: and I'd agree. Around .500 is the definition of mediocre.
