*****Official Cubs 2023 thread*****

I thought that he likely broke his wrist last night as long as he was being looked at.

Ross hung with Smyly too long too, IMO. Should have brought Thompson in sooner. Thompson ended up pitching great but no win came of it. Now he probably won't be able to be used for another game or two. Lose, lose.
Meh, maybe. It’s easy in hindsight, but Smyly pitched a clean 4th and had Vosler up as the #8 hitter in a L-L matchup with the Cubs having no lefties in the pen. I think I’d have let him face Vosler too.
 
Offensive explosion
I think it’s amusing to watch the masses of fandom. Taillon gives up a 3rd run in 4 innings and there are a million tweets about how he should go and the Cubs should have gotten Bassitt, etc. Wesneski gives up 3 and the Cubs are behind and it’s the offense’s fault.

THAT’S WHAT I’VE BEEN SAYING!!!
Finally someone understands

Watching a little bit of the Myrtle Beach game tonight. Solid roster.

I've been watching the last couple of innings myself. That Santy has a helluva breaking ball. Left handed batters are bailing out on called strikes.

I was going to watch tomorrow afternoon's game with the Rangers but looks like it's going to be on Apple TV and not Marquee.☹ I was able to watch Apple games last year on my Roku stick but I think you actually have to have an Apple subscription this year.🤬

That pisses me off. However, they are putting on some more minor league games.
 
Totally Off Topic here but worth a shoutout.

In all my years of watching baseball, I have never seen this.

A University of Indianapolis pitcher pitches a no-hitter and hits for the cycle, in the same game.

Something that would be comparable on the major league level was probably the Phillies Rick Wise no-hitting the Reds and hitting 2 HRs in the same game.

Anyway...

 
Yeah we really need Codi Heuer (so) to be really good otherwise that trade looks terrible
Jed is going to give Madrigal every opportunity, and then another 2 opportunities to prove himself, before he admits he got fleeced on that deal. Why the F would the Sox have given up so readily on the #4 pick? Because they knew they'd F'd up when they drafted him, and were moving on.

This player of the week is brought to you buy Prevagen!
It sounds like NV is coming up today. Kind of weird timing with Suzuki looking almost ready. I wonder if someone is hurt?
Yeah definitely kind of strange. I wonder if they will limit Seiya's time in RF when he comes off the IL, as that would make this move make a little more sense with how bad everyone has been in RF besides Wisdom (and he's earned every day starts at 3B). Also it seems NV doesn't have much left to prove at AAA

I know he doesn't have any pop and I haven't watched a whole lot yet this season but Madrigal is batting .286 while adjusting to a new position. What am I missing with the hate on him?

He sucks.
He is an error waiting to happen at 3B. He is a Punch and Judy hitter. He is slow. He is injury prone.

I don't have much of an opinion on him but I do appreciate a guy who isn't striking out all the time, had plenty of those. Hopefully Heuer makes up for whatever NM is lacking in that trade

Edit: Now Miles Mastrobuoni.....that guy sucks
