    Coomer has a dumb voice and Hughes is just meh.
  2. PackLandVA
    And there goes the perfect game/no-hitter.
  3. PackLandVA
    Missed strikeout on Cronenworth cost a run.

    For a "little guy", NIco seems to have a pretty quick hack.

    Danka schön!

    Same for me - laptop, tablet, and iPhone (even when I’m away from my Wi-Fi).

    Hey Yu, the Cubs bats are coming to life and you're matched up against their ace from 2023. or Same difference. Let's start the series with a win! #WhyNotUS!!

    Sure the Cubs' bats have been pretty silent of late. But earlier today they brought some lumber to the park - 3 dongs and 6 runs. Woot Woot!!!! Maybe that carries over to this game. They face a pretty good pitcher. But "the Vaunteds" have to face this guy: This guy is JAP - just another pitchers so say the critics. But he's been hurling ever since the Cubs have given him the ball to start. "Send to the 'pen" once Steele, Wicks, and Hendricks get back? Rubbish!! The man with the "Tijuana Two-Seamer" has proven he belongs in the rotation and should be taking the ball every fifth day! Let's go out and win the series and grab 1st place while we're at it! #WhyNotUs!!

    If I'm making the decisions for "the Vaunteds", every time I get a man on first with second base open, I steal. I do this until the Cubs throw a runner out.

    Cubs' offense of late has been a lot like this. The bullpen has been a lot like this. And we fans have been like this far too often late in the game with a lead. Jameson is on the mound, and hopefully the pixie dust doesn't wear off.

    I think there's been a bit more excitement going into this season as opposed to last season. Also, last season's game thread starter seemed to crap out early if I recall.

    Wish yous guys would stop making predictions. Yeesh!

    Dansby with an actual Dansby play.
  16. PackLandVA
    How many pitches out of the zone have the first 8batters swung at?
  17. PackLandVA
    ShotA-CE!

    Didn't think about the 40. But Nick has been really good on defense but provides absolutely nothing on offense.
  19. PackLandVA
    He played the last two games for Iowa.

    Is David Bote worth another try instead of Mastro. He's versatile on defense and at least provides a little pop. Madrigal can't hit the ball past a drawn in outfield and Mastro's only real redeeming qualities are his versatility and left-handedness. I know he's not really in the Cubs future, but could he be worse than those two. Maybe they catch lightening in a bottle again for a few weeks.

    Jose Abreu of the .099/.156/.113 slash line, is being optioned to the Minors. He's agreed to work on his timing/hitting. I guess the Atros opted not to make up a phony injury.
  22. PackLandVA
    First person that jumped to mind regarding this was Chris Sale. I don't know that he was "The Closer", per se, but he was definitely the 8th inning guy and then was closing some games by years end. Don't remember if that was due to injury, performance, etc.

    Jameson Taillon thru his first 3 starts in 2023: 14 innings, 15 hits, 7 ER, 4.50 ERA, AVG .263, GO/AO 0.59, WHIP 1.36 Cubs record 0-3 Jameson Taillon thru his first 3 starts in 2024: 18 innings, 14 hits, 3ER, 1.50 ERA, AVG .204, GO/AO 0.88, WHIP 0.94. Cubs record 3-0 Clearly not going to post the numbers across the entire season. But what a huge boost it would be if JT could be closer to this start of the season as opposed to last season.
  24. PackLandVA
    I don't know, maybe the infielders can stop throwing dirt balls. That would be a nice start.
  25. PackLandVA
    I do not like 4-game series. Sweeps - nearly impossible, Winning the series - well, that extra game seems to make it really tough. A split - meh (unless they lose 2 of the first 3).
