FritzIam4IU Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 Cubs win 9-8 and sweep Rockies. a few thoughts after watching a good amount of the cubs first 6 games thus far… Really like the cubs are drawing lots of walks and striking out very little. brown looked good in his start today. Good stuff but they pulled him after 52 pitches. rockies pitching is going to give up a ton of runs at coors field this year if they gave up all these runs this series against the cubs at wrigley in cold/wet conditions. Cubs defense has been poor. Morel with 3 errors in 6 games at 3rd base. starting pitching has been good with exception of Steele getting injured opening day and Hendricks struggling. Bullpen has been sketchy overall. lets go cubs! Hoping for a good series against the dodgers starting Friday! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to do other stuff when it got to 8-2...Guess I shoulda stuck around 🙂 I'll just add I think Seiya is going to have a great year. He's killing it right now. And, like you said, they seem to be more patient at the plate... Here's to an exciting summer🍻 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the technology has become what it is so it only makes sense to include in the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it sounded like a shot coming off the bat. The Cubs pen is making me uncomfortable the past couple games for sure. Cubs infield had some nice plays defensively today...it didn't hurt that Morel wasn't playing 3rd! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dodgers are stacked so any win vs them won't be treated like 1 of 162 games. What the early stuff is showing me is we have 5-6 very patient hitters who will wait for the chance to smash....and Lt Dan just keeps moving up my favorite player list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be the most patient Cubs hitting team I have seen in awhile. Really refreshing to see that. I am enjoying that Marquee streaming (I would have went with MLB stream but I'm blacked out). I work from home on Monday, Thursday and Fridays, so I can have the game on in the background! 😀 Edited April 5 by FritzIam4IU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jv1972iu Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Reds defense looks pretty bad right now. Elly De La Cruz has made 4 errors, mostly on throws, in 7 games. That’s beyond bad. He’s going to have mgmt thinking about switching him to the outfield if he keeps this up. Or he may find himself back in the minors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't help that they took Green out after 6 great innings. The reliever then walks 3 straight batters and gives up 1 run without giving up a hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are watching all the young starters because of the injury histories, I guess. I’m not disagreeing with you, but that’s just the way they play the game. And I’m aware that you believe it’s stupid, but it ain’t gonna change. They’ve invested big money, for the Reds, in Greene and don’t want to take any chances.
