Welcome to OGBoards 10.0, keep in mind that we will be making LOTS of changes to smooth out the experience here and make it as close as possible functionally to the old software, but feel free to drop suggestions or requests in the Tech Support subforum!
Hendricks to IL (back) and Smiley to IL (hip). Garret Cooper DFA. Matt Mervis, Luke Little and Hayden Wesneski recalled from Iowa. I like the commitment to youth. Hope it works.
Injuries are starting to mount. Two of the best hitters and three projected starters are on the IL. Their replacements are all from the minor league system and have shown flashes they are ready. Canario, Busch, Mervis and PCA should get the PT to make statements. Wesneski, Brown and Thompson occupy roles they hoped for in spring training. All can secure their place in Chicago if they deliver.
Pitching staff win. The Assman deserved another W. Some poor at bats with runners on third and less than two outs. Busch in particular has really fallen off. Need Suzuki back. Conversely, Nico es en fuego.
Wow what an end! Taillon superb and the Cubs squeak out 3 runs after getting no hit through 7. Morel the big 2 out 2 run HR off Mets closer. Leiter and Neris scoreless innings. Good win with an injury depleted roster.
Who thought that at the end of April that the five starters would be Imanaga, Taillon, Assad, Wesneski and Brown? Did anyone envision that Suzuki and Bellinger would both be on the IL this early? PCA with more plate appearances than Patrick Wisdom?
I was surprised that Counsell removed Assad after five innings and 78 pitches. If it was a problem with a fingernail I understand. If he's Dr Hook he'll have an exhausted bullpen by September.
At some point Alzolay's tendency to throw home run pitches that result in losses needs to be addressed. Five home runs have resulted in four Cub losses. It seems time to use him when the Cubs are trailing an opponent. Get some work and get his edge back where he can't surrender a lead. When the error occured to extend the inning I expected Adbert to fold. He was pitching waiting for the hammer to drop rather than pitching to pick up his teammates. Not good.
