In other former Cubs news, I saw today that D.J. Herz had decreased velocity during ST and is now out for season with UCL sprain. TJS? JFC, this game can be cruel...
Great win today. Got to watch since the I-Cubs game was washed out in Indy.

Pecota is really liking the Cubs - 93 wins and 2nd best team behind the Dodgers. https://www.baseballprospectus.com/standings/
And it’s almost impossible to predict who/how/when. Some guys seem like ticking time bombs and last forever and others can’t step to the right without tearing something.
Wow. The Dodgers, Yankees, Mets or Phillies are getting a good one next year in Kyle Tucker.
I thought the four pitch walk to start the inning was strong.
JFC are we going to do this again like last year?

JFC. I can’t wait to watch tomorrow’s game with temps in the low 30s and wind gusts at 35 mph.
And Cubs-fan-christened-future-Hall-of-Famer Cam Smith is 2-18 this season with 9 K for a BA of .111 and OPS of .349.
He may eventually be a great player, but people who are already proclaiming the trade a one-sided disaster based on Smith's Spring Training and before Tucker has a '26 contract need to pump the brakes a bit.
Very nice that Rea covered 2 innings after Steele’s excellent start.
I’m one of them, and unless era win big this year or sign Tucker, it’ss bad trade. Economic futures are going to be tighter than they are right now
Great game!!
Steele with an absolute gem.
The Cubs were so aggressive on the bases tonight.
Their team speed seems to be contagious.

That's a lot of if's. A heck of a lot of "can't miss" prospects never made a mark in the Majors, but there have only been so many Tucker-like talents. Again, maybe chill and see how this next year pans out.
I know of a HOF former cub who at the same 18 AB point in time was 0-18, but he had only struck out 3 times with 1 walk. BA of .000 and OBP of .056. Ended up having a solid rookie season. Made it to 3-36 before a 3 hit game pushed him over the .100 BA.
Until C. Smith proves to be the next Ryno, I'm going to refrain from hand-wringing over the Cubs giving up a generational talent.
last night's win was nice but I'm still pissed about Sunday's stupid loss
Gonna be dayz like that. It's not like the Cubs are losing and nobody can figure out why. Everyone knows EXACTLY where the weak link is.
Little, Neely and Roberts all looking great at AAA so far, so there may be an in-house solution or two. If they can't cut it, either, then Jed needs to be thinking about how much of the farm he wants to give up to make sure this season doesn't slip away due to bullpen issues yet again.
Long season. Hang in there. Not many teams would be 8-5 with the schedule the Cubs have played so far.
This. I am also praying for health and a hot streak in October. Eff the dodgers and the Yankees
With a trip to Los Angeles (Dodgers) and San Diego (Padres) coming next.
