IST: Twins @ Cubs

Keep it going.

Willson doing what Willson does.

Nice job Zo.

Hard to run bases with your head up your ass, Rizzo.

 

[chibears55]

Rizzo and Happ are probably the cubs 2 worse baserunners

Chatwood’s sac bunt was big that inning.

 

[jooo83]

It is mind boggling to me that someone as capable and intelligent as Theo Epstein thought it was a good idea to sign Chatwood to a 3 year deal. The guy is fucking awful. And yes I realize the wind is blowing out but he bad almost every start.

Chatwood was terrific in the spring and everyone thought it was a good signing. Hindsight is easy

 

[Globetrotter]

Almora is just awful.

Look who’s in line for the win lol.

 

[chibears55]

Cubs have 9 runs on 13 singles..lol

Even by Javy's standards, that AB was as weird as it gets....8 pitch SO and the guy never threw a strike.

And here is the real reason Chatwood walks everyone. Find the zone find scoreboard

Seriously, i really hope Epstein and Hoyer are working on bringing in relievers so they can drop guys like Duensing and Wilson..

Those guys are useless

Rather see the kids from Iowa , bring back Mazzoni and just release Duensing after this game

I was not even looking at him myself. Was a unexpected sign.

I honestly believe that they went in full tilt to get Ohtani and that signing was to lessen the blow. Just like Ejax was a knee jerk signing also. Both are pretty parallel scenarios except Jax was worse. Chatwood is making 1.5 WAR cash right now and you can get that value in the pen.

Yu imo was Theo looking at it and saying this team may not be a wild card as is. And as we have seen it was a honest evaluation

They really need to find a late inning guy if they are going for it.
Can’t trust Edwards or Strop.
I can live with Wilson if you don’t rely on him in a critical spot either.
But wth has happened to Duensing. Just beyond awful this year. Needs to go bye bye asap.

 

[chibears55]

Cubs really have an opportunity to put up some Ws before the break.

11 games with Detroit Cin SF and SD after tomorrow game with the Twins, only SF is above .500 at 3 over.

Maybe the plan is to add one late guy and one middle guy...

Blake Treinan from Oakland could be of interest for a late guy...

Maybe they just go that route via trade, and just shore up the middle relief from within using their young guys and maybe Butler who pitching his first game tonight in Iowa

Jed alluded to internal solutions. Edwards is on rehab assignment and as you posted Butler also. Then you have Maples tossing wiffleballs

 

[CSF77]

But the pen at 100%

Morrow 1.54 ERA
Edwards 2.88 ERA

That should be your main 8-9 situation.

Mix in guys:
Cishek 1.75 ERA
Wilson 3.18 ERA
Strop 2.62 ERA

LOOGY:
Rosario: 1.80 ERA

Mop up guys:
Butler 4.30 ERA
Duesing: 6.92 ERA

Duesing really is not the same guy from last year even before his bereavement. Too hittable.

I see the rotation as a higher concern right now. If Yu comes back then Duesing gets bumped anyways.

 

[bamainatlanta]

The 2out RISP average just went up considerably after this game

Please stop. When are you going to learn that there are no gimme games, no series that are a lock. Early on you thought they'd destroy Miami, then it was Pittsburgh just last week it was Cincinnati. The Cubs are not an elite team and they can be beaten on any day by any team. It's foolish to look ahead and expect wins because of their opponent, same as it would be to expect losses when they're playing the better teams. All they can do is play tomorrow, not next week or next month but the Twins, tomorrow. You try to get that one and move on. Look at this way....if you don't expect them to win a certain game or series then it won't be so crushing if they get beat.

Could they roll the next week or so? Sure they could but they could also get beat. We've seen it happen all year.

No shit their not Elite BatMan
Lol

I never said their going to kick ass and win out..

I said they have a GOOD CHANCE to get some Ws these next 12 games..
Ok
A CHANCE

I mean are they not a playoff team?
If so, then i hope at this point in the season they can start beating some of the below .500 teams

Funny though with you..

I say they'll have a tough stretch, you ***** that im being negative

I say they have a good chance at some Ws, you ***** about that

Lol

Like youre my stalker poster and just follow me around to ***** about anything i post..
LMAO
