    Seiya should sue the umpires union for lost wages.

    nice inning by Taillon.
  6. Bull
    Of course it would have. Any other park wouldn’t have wind blowing in knocking 10 feet off the distance.

    Maybe he'd be better as a reliever. There's obviously a "next level" of stuff that he can call on for short spurts, but not over the long haul of a start. I'd love to see how his stuff profiles with runners on base vs bases empty.

    higher. no 9th inning pitching for the Pirates the last two days.

    especially since it was a strike.

    I still believe in this team. Any one of us at the beginning of the season offered this record at this point in the season would take it. I still hold that Cubs teams playing more day games is the problem. build in rest. Give guys extended time off. Bring up Birdsell and Alcantra. Six man rotation for awhile. Rest Horton and Boyd. Rest Swanson, Happ, Zuki and Tuck. Let the gingers burn under the hot sun. Let the kids play until the old men are rested up. It may be fake IL time.

    Send down PCA and call them both up. (only MOSTLY kidding)

    Hate to police grammar, but……This is a time when then/than makes a big difference.

    After going through the doom and gloom of a failed trade deadline and losing 2 of 3 to the reds, I have re-calibrated. I feel good about this team, this stretch and specifically this match-up. Cubs play STL, Tor, Pit, while the Brewers play NYM, Pit, and the indefatigable Cin. Brewers get Skenes, cubs maybe not. Then head to head. Horton is a game 3 playoff starter who needs some rest. Byrd is an ace who needs a rest. Taillon and Assad coming back soon. Birdsell is knocking on the door. Cubs run differential may be worse than the Brewers, but neither team's recent runs will persist. Tucker and Suzuki have to start hitting. PCA will adjust. Happ showing signs of life. Solid lineup top to bottom against both handed pitching. And if things keep going as awful as they have, the Cubs are still a top 5 team in baseball. Certainly good enough to get hot and win it all.

    Not better. Just slightly less bad.
  16. Bull
    Lots of randoms making noise on X about Gore to cubs
  17. Bull
    Nice try Nationals.
  18. Bull
    So wait, we need to put the brakes on this rumor?
  19. Bull
    No Cubs fan has any business being this optimistic. Time to lower your Xanax dosage.

    Not a HOF name. A BobsonDugnutt SNES name.

    The difference between a top 50 prospect and a prospect outside the top 100. Jed knows what their return will be if they wait until next year, and that he has to beat it. They want him to beat it by a lot, he wants to beat it by as little as possible.

    Ok, so maybe we aren't saying the same thing. I think Soroka is in the rotation for the foreseeable future. Even if there is a TOR starter added. Rotation becomes Shota, Boyd, TOR, Soroka, Rea. (Horton gets a rest) Then its Shota, Boyd, TOR, Taillon, Soroka (Horton builds back up) Then it's Shota, TOR, Taillon, Horton, Soroka (Boyd gets innings limited. Assad to bullpen) If there is no TOR guy added today, that puts Rea back in and delays hortons rest until Taillon and/or Assad return.
  24. Bull
    Aha. What I was calling the Brown spot, you were calling the Flexen spot. (I never mentally had Flexen in the rotation)
  25. Bull
    Who bumps Brown? Unless and until they acquire a TOR starter the rotation is Boyd, Shota, Horton, Rea, Soroka.
