I hope he sucks until the trade deadline so the Cards can't get anything for him then he goes on a tear after the trade deadline pushing the Cardinals out of contention for the #1 overall pick.
I can't believe Contreras wasn't go straight heat against Goldy with Megill. Goldy couldn't keep up to 94 earlier in the game and you have a guy who throws 99-100.
Another year where the stupid national broadcasts use this dumb off center camera angle instead of the Brewers normal centered camera angle that’s best in the league.
He was fine the other two times he started. He had 4 ER in one of them but 2 of his ER were in the 5th inning. He's just an inconsistent pitcher whether its starting games or out of the pen.
I mean Bennett was being used out of the pen. He was forced into the rotation because of injuries. McKendry has been hurt. Junk has been on the MLB shuttle. Gasser/Myers have been in the MLB. This is pretty much out of necessity.
Honestly I just wish Ortiz was playing. There's no reason for Dunn to consistently play over him. I also wish Murphy would give Contreras some games off behind the plate. We have Sanchez and Contreras in the lineup today. Why not catch Sanchez and have Contreras DH? Maybe I'm the only one who is legitimately worried about Contreras burning out eventually with the catcher workload he has. This is our 39th game and he's caught 33 of them. He's our best/2nd best hitter and invaluable at the top of the order. If he burns out that would be a significant blow to the team.
This is where a normal beat reporter would push and ask what he's being held accountable for and why Oliver Dunn isn't being held to same standards. Instead our beat reporters just accept the answer and move on.
Skenes debut didn't really live up to the hype. Fastball command wasn't great and Cubs just weren't chasing it. Really drove the pitch count up. Line is currently at 4+ IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 7 SO, 1 HBP with 2 inherited runners left.
It's actually impressive how you got nothing right in that comment.
Both Ricketts and Hoyer said Ross was their guy after the season ended and that he was doing a great job. A month later they fired him. If Ross was gone either way they would have fired him immediately after the season ended not a month into the offseason after saying he was their guy.
Ross inherited a Cubs team that was not a playoff team the year before he was hired and a team that the owner's significantly cut payroll on leading to a rebuild.
