Good news, Jameson Tailon is starting this Thursday against the Marlins.
Chicago Cubs 2024
Homecoming 2019
- Chicago
About time for a 10-day IL stint
I heard that was supposed to have happened last week but obviously didn't.
Professor at $16M and Neris at $9M. I guess we can consider Kyle's salary, compensation for meritorious work done in the past. Neris.......not the case.
It would be very cool for the Cubs if both Keegan and Wesneski could go back to being a thing.

Love seeing early season wins against subpar teams. Would love a sweep this weekend.

I realize that wasn’t exactly murderers row he faced today, but it was great to see Tallion back out there and pitching well.
Officially have an Alzolay problem
Why? Are 4 blown saves in 7 opportunities not good?

Probably.
Wade Davis was really good In 2017. David Robertson was solid until we traded him in 22.
Who would we even go to? Leiter? He’s the only guy who has actually been better than Adbert.

You’re right, Davis was good. Not sure who they’d go to now. Neris has been a closer before. I guess they need to develop one in AAA or lower.
Mr.Little, come on down....
The issue with Alzolay is pretty simple. Last year he gave up 5 HRs in 64 innings. This year he’s given up 4 HRs in 10 innings.
He’s leaving the ball up and it’s getting hammered. It should be fixable, but not sure you want to be using him in high leverage situations while he works out the kinks.

yea , I’m not saying he can’t be a closer or your 8th inning guy eventually , but very doubtful he can be that guy this year .
it’s time to cherry pick the best reliever off one of the 5-6 teams that are already not built for any kind of decent year
Unfortunately, you'll have to wait a while. Trades are almost never made this time of year. Not sure where to turn now. The Merryweather injury really hurt us.
Meanwhile....I guess Morel's glove is keeping him in the lineup.

He’s close to an automatic loss.
4 ER in 4.0 innings. His ERA went down though.
Morel is killing us in the middle of the order.

True, it did go down but when he was around 13, hard for him to be much worse.
It's too bad they split with Miami. Need to win 3 of 4 with as bad as that team is.
If you guys start getting down about how we are pitching, just click on the Loyalty Cardinals thread... I promise you'll feel better.
Only winning games at a high percentage will make me feel better. It's a sad fan who is happy because their team isn't the very worst.
