  1. Fairly certain Sunday will be an opener followed by Ben Brown. The Brewers series will be Boyd, Rea and Imanaga.
  2. So good options should/will be available and I keep thinking the "big" rotation add will be Adrian Houser.
  3. Great throw. Horrible effort in the running.
  4. Link A few caveats out of the gate here. Umpiring, especially behind the plate, is extraordinarily difficult and Major League Baseball employs some incredibly talented individuals to do it. And the strike zone box that appears on television is far more specious and arbitrary than most viewers think, especially when it comes to the bottom and top of the zone. But even with those concessions, home plate umpire Phil Cuzzi did not have his best night on Monday working behind the dish in the Philadelphia Phillies-San Francisco Giants game. After expanding the zone on Bryce Harper in the top of the eighth with the score knotted at 1-1, Cuzzi watched three Orion Kekering pitches to Matt Chapman potentially get a decent part of the zone without busting out a strike three call in the bottom of the frame. Chapman would eventually aim a single through the right side of the infield, setting up the Giants' game-winning run in a contest they went on to win, 3-1.
  5. Looks like Ryan Jensen is back with the Cubs organization.
  6. Has a player ever hit 3 HRs in a game and then not started the following game?
  7. Didn't the Cards have a dongfest in the previous series at Busch??
  8. Current Cubs are 2 for 17 against Bibee. Current Indians, err Guardians, are 5 for 18 against Shota. What does this mean? Nothing probably.
  9. I’m convinced Counsell likes staggering the lineup L-R-L-R.
  10. Is there ever a reason to question why Brujan is pinch hit for???
  11. I don’t think I’ve ever see a ball hit the bleachers that quickly! LAZER!
  12. Mr Freeze Ice Pops in my day. We weren't really health conscious.
  13. How was he "out of the base path??? Didn't even look close.
  14. Kirby has only pitched in 5 games this year. Allowed 11 ER in first two outings of the season (8.1 innings), but has been really good the next three.
  15. Don't look now, but the Rockies have won 4 in a row and are 8 and 9 so far in the month of June!
  16. I really think Counsell likes the L-R-L-R-L thing in the lineup. And I don't think he wants to bat Busch lower than 6. So the options in the five hole aren't that great. So it's Dansby, Kelly, Shaw or Nico. Nico is the most consistent hitter but offers absolutely zero SLG. Might be worth a try given his RISP ability.
  17. I'm guessing most of the posters on this site who have been here a long time are no longer in the demographics ESPN is catering to.
  18. Well, at least the Cubs' bench today is much better than in previous games.
