Let's not get worked up about bullpen decisions. Until they have their next off-day, it's going to be whoever is available regardless of the score. -
Rockies making the Cubs earn it.. 11-7 in the bottom of the 9th, Rockies get two hits but then hit into a DP. Just make the Cubs burn through their bullpen.
-
I'm referring to those kids who are from Wisconsin. The ones who traditionally filled out the OL/LB/TE spots. WI just hasn't been producing many of them the last 5-6 years. It's been a couple of 4-star kids, one or two 3-stars, and then a sharp dropoff to the kids who go to Northern Illinois/South Dakota State.

Because Adams missed a big chunk of the season. He's only played 60 games this year.
-
There is a third reason - there has been a lack of talent coming from WI and MN the last 6 years. Yes, there have been a handful of really good players, but most of them came from Catholic families and went to Catholic schools and when you're a Catholic family and Notre Dame comes calling... it's really hard to say no. The other really good player went to Ohio State. And Ohio State and Notre Dame have a lot bigger NIL war chests than UW has. The few other top recruits went to HS their last 2-3 years in WI but didn't grow up there, so there wasn't the history of watching the Rose Bowl teams and JJ Watt, Russell Wilson, etc. No emotional connection to UW, it's just another school near where they lived at some point in their life. But behind those guys there has been a big dropoff in talent. There hasn't been the underrated mid-3-star to high 2-star kids that filled the roster. Some of the others (JP Benzschawel, etc.) just didn't pan out.

Took a little while, but O'Neill looked like a capable backup. A bit Brooks Bollinger like. Need to find a solution to the OL, specifically LT. RG was spotty as well.
-
Thought it was his foot. Looked more like an Achilles.

First game tonight against Miami (OH). For all of the turnover that UW has had, I think Miami (OH) has something like 2/3rds of their roster new this year. Looking forward to seeing how the interior OL performs. Brunner is nasty and Mandell, the redshirt freshman who won the starting RG position, is an ox. Those guys are going to move some DL against their will. Biggest concern is LT. Shouldn't have to worry about that against Miami (OH), but we'll see if Heinzen gets chipping help from TEs or a blocking RB shading his way.

Matt Wood (I seem to recall that if teams send a catcher they get a priority selection at another position) Luke Adams Josh Adamczewski Brock Wilken Brian Fitzpatrick Stiven Cruz Brett Wichrowski

And they can move LVN or Gary inside on passing downs.

Youngest team in the league just got younger, so people will complain about that.

Cubs making the Giants look like world beaters!

Giants walk off the Cubs!

Brewers Trade Aaron Civale To White Sox For Andrew Vaughn
LouisEly replied to wibadgers23's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Over his last two weeks (14 games) he has struck out only 6 times in 60 PA's. Half of his career K%. -
Explains why they kept both Brinson and Stackhouse. Makes me a little concerned about their interior run defense. Say what you want about Clark getting older, but of Clark, Wyatt, Brooks, Wooden, Brinson, and Stackhouse, I think Clark was clearly the best interior run defender they had. Sacks aren't everything.

Time for the season thread
-
The Cubs gave up 12 to the Giants yesterday. Everybody is tired.
-
Monasterio's OPS over the last 14 days, encompassing 28 PAs, is 1.159 Aside from a bad baserunning decision, he's been more than pulling his own weight.
-
Why would he be ineligible? He hasn't played in the majors yet. You can go to the AFL twice - Jordan Clarke did so in 2022 and 2024.

The Packers have signed Dalton Cooper to the practice squad.
-
He slid into the OF wall yesterday chasing a fly ball. Was a little gimpy after he got up. Probably a little sore today.
-
The silver lining is that it likely explains why he hasn't been pitching well lately. Injury, not ability.
-
Yoho might be the only one eligible and/or ready to be called up on 9/1, so that might be what they are saving him for. Patrick was optioned on the 25th, so he's not eligible to be called up until 9/8 unless someone goes on the IL (unless there's an exception for expanded rosters on 9/1, which a Google search did not reveal). Carlos Rodriguez is in the same boat, optioned on the 24th so not eligible until 9/7 barring an injury. Anderson was placed on the IL on 8/25, so he isn't eligible to come off until 9/8. Gasser could come off the 60-day IL, but they said they want at least one more rehab start from him which IIRC is on Friday, 8/29, so he won't be ready on 9/1. D.L. Hall is not likely to be ready until at least mid-September. Henderson is done for the rest of the regular season. Zastryzny could be ready, he's on a rehab assignment. It's either he or Yoho on 9/1. That's it (barring someone else going on the IL).
-
I wonder what the Players Union would agree to in order to get rosters to expand to 30 for September. Or maybe just shorter stints in the minors required for September.
