Feel like PCA is gonna have himself a night at the plate. He's facing an AAAA pitcher, and I think that bodes well for him. -
Hitters gotta hit. Defensive has to make the plays they're expected to make. To many TOOTBLANs. Not sure Counsell's responsible for any of those.

Fall of the house of Busch-er
PackLandVA replied to Transmogrified Tiger's topic in General Baseball Talk
After games played on May 12, the day this wonderful topic was created, the Cubs were 24-17. They are 4-12 since. Meanwhile, the Cards were 16-24 on May 12. Since then, they've gone 11-3. Good times. -
Been saying this same thing about Morel specifically for about a month now, and what does he have to show for it. A bunch of loud outs in May.
-
93 mph fastball right in the center of the plate; his exit velo was 100+. Can't really blame him.
-
So apparently this guy Rea pitched briefly for the Cubs in late 2020. Not great results for the Northsiders. So it makes sense that he'll most likely go 6+ giving up 1 single run or less.
-
Should be pretty obvious the Vaunteds will get the series win.
-
Regarding the 10 days rest, I'll throw out a few cliches: "It's a marathon, not a sprint" and "Okay to lose the battle if you win the war.". Dumb, I know, but he wasn't going to carry a sub-1 ERA the whole season. All starters have a blow up game or two (or more) every season. I'd rather he get an extra rest now and take a beat down if he means he's fresh later in the season. Was 10 days a bit much? Maybe. Could they have pushed him back a few days instead of skipping his start? Perhaps. But there's still a lot of baseball to play (pitch) in the season.

I’m so tempted to just turn the game off right now and then check NSBB game thread in about 20 minutes.
-
Actually think it might’ve stayed in the park.

So long Freddy!

Best I can tell from looking at MLB.TV Help Center is that the game SHOULD be available in Arizona. Here's a link to their page: MLB.TV Help Center If you scroll to the second grid, it lists Regular Season Games (FOX) as "All OOM * games available (standard HTT** blackouts apply)". So I read that as the only game not available would be the AZ/Miami which overlaps in time.

Congrats Luke Little on your 1st MLB Victory!!!!
-
Coming to this game thread late, but it appears this current iteration of the Cubs is unable to hit fastballs over 95 and curveballs apparently.

Hayden's dad? Brother? Child?
-
Somebody had to take Adbert's role - up by a bunch or down by a bunch.
-
Can Vasquez play 3B? If not, does that mean the Cubs are good with Morel staying in the game and no late-inning replacement?
-
I find it pretty mind boggling that Tiger Woods, given his age and physical ailments, thinks he can be competitive in Majors by playing mostly just Majors, save a warm up tournament a few weeks before on occasion. He’s trying to compete against the world’s very best on some of the most difficult courses/greens/conditions without much “real” preparation. The second greatest golfer of all time is quite the shell of himself for awhile now.
-
Too bad he didn’t follow that non-HR call with - “I don’t know if I’m gonna be putting on this headset again.”
-
Neither is really hitting anyone yet this season. So I think letting them face a pitcher they've each seen less than a week ago is not a bad move.
-
I think the Cubs hitters will fare at least a little better facing these two rookie pitchers for the second time in a week.
