Remember, I was high on the Cubs heading into this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wisdom is on fire. Bellinger finding form and guys like Nico and Lieutenant Dan just keep doing their thing. If we can get some consistency from Happ in RBI producing at bats we'll really have something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still pi$$ed at Cashman for letting Castillo get away. Instead we get that tough pitcher, Frankie Montas who was probably already injured when they traded for him!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWatShot Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 Tigers sweep a doubleheader from Cleveland.

Naturalhoosier Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 We’ve started prepping our annual baseball road trip. Unfortunately Covid put a damper on the festivities but this year myself, my son, my brother and his son are road tripping to Toronto, Detroit, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh. My brother and I started the summer before Covid by meeting in Minnesota and then heading over to Milwaukee and down to Chicago. We had started to plan a SoCal trip for the following year but Covid happened. We’re finally back on track!! Excited to knock off 3 more stadiums from the list (been to PNC in Pitt). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 Clayton Kershaw just became the 6th pitcher in MLB history to reach 200 wins without having 100 losses. Clayton is also only 68 K's away from 3,000. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud2BAHoosier Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 Seems like the Yankees are getting snake-bit on the injuries.... Carlos Rodon, the big name signing, has yet to pitch in a game due to elbow tightness. Now this: April 18: LHP Carlos Rodón experiencing back discomfort Rodón tossed a two-inning, "split" bullpen as scheduled on April 17, but the left-hander reported that his “back is still barking a little bit on him,” according to manager Aaron Boone. Rodón is expected to have tests performed near the Yankees’ complex in Tampa, Fla. “We’ve got to get the back situation calmed down a little bit,” Boone said. “It’s frustrating for him, certainly. Again, the elbow is good. I don’t think this is anything that’s a big deal other than a nuisance that’s slowing him a little bit. We know he’s going to be worth the wait.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
