    Having a good Seiya all next season would be a fun development. He’s looked great since his little break. And Assad continues to make a pretty strong case to be in the 2024 rotation

    It was said by a lot of people when announced but Smyly starting tonight was pretty indefensible when you’re in a division race. I think just about everyone would rather see an unknown go vs. a guy you almost for sure know will not even be able to get you five innings with an already gassed...

    Yeah it’s time for Morel to get a little break a la Seiya

    I don’t know if the game plays out any differently, but I would’ve (and said this in a group chat right when it happened) given Wesneski the ball til he got in trouble then gone to someone else. Putting him in that scenario was fine but taking him out that early when multiple guys in your pen...

    My brother is the head coach for a team in NE Iowa and they are practicing at 6 am all week. Probably will be fairly tough/different to go 6 am all week then a 7 pm game Friday but not a whole lot else you can do with this ****

    Lol every time a ground ball gets hit to him I cringe when he starts to throw but he pretty much always makes the play

    New RBI per game stat that I just made up Morel: .79 Bellinger: .65 Tauchman: .60 Swanson: .56 Hoerner: .53 Gomes: .53 Happ: .46 Guess which guy hits in the batting order spot that has the most RBI opportunities

    Sorry to beat a dead horse but just saw a tweet talking about Happ in the 3/4 spot and looked up the info myself to verify. Happ has hit in the 3 or 4 spot for 113 games this year, or just under 95 percent of the Cubs total games. He is 5th on the team in RBIs in the spot that is expected to...

    Ehh I really don’t have much of a problem with Hoerner going for it. He was thinking double out of the box and I would’ve thought it hit the wall at some point but it never did. And it still took a pretty good throw to get him. To lead off the inning? Probably a bad idea. With one or two outs...

    Zero reason Wisdom should be playing first base and zero reason Happ should be batting third.

    The other thing that can catapult a team into a winning streak is playing the Royals, Tigers, and Pirates the next ten games. Personally, anything worse than 7-3 would be pretty disappointing. And the Brewers have one more against the Dodgers, then the Rangers, Twins, Padres for the next ten...

    Good news: Brewers are playing the scalding hot Dodgers and hopefully shouldn’t be widening the gap much Bad news: Brewers are playing the scalding hot Dodgers and Cubs aren’t making any ground up against terrible teams

    Ronald Acuna, Matt Olson, and Austin Riley have played every single game for the Braves this season and Ozzie Albies had played every game until last night for an IL stint. Trivia question: What team has the best record in baseball so far?

    I just wanted to not get swept by the Braves or Blue Jays. Winning both series is huge. Schedule is extremely favorable for the next 12 games before a large series in Wrigley against the Brewers
