Yeah I dont know if they can do that with their BP, they have used lots of guys in these first 2 games already. They may have to call someone up
They just list the starter as Shawn Dubin. Cranberry Valdez was scheduled but he has a sprained ankle

Yeah, I don't care at all for the automatic takes. I feel like the work-the-pitcher mantra is driving that to some degree.
JUng is a free swinger until 2 strikes. He takes the close ones even if a bit outside

Looks like to me the umps are giving him the rookie treatment especially due to his cockiness walking away from the plate on apparent ball 4s.
It is like it shows up the umps

He needs to change that bit of course he is way ahead of his projections

Lowe is a moran.
Terrible form glove down by his hip

Never watched it onto his glove
He needs help with that

He needs to be flipped in the order with Heim

Dubin has appeared in 2 games, total of 5 innings, 10.80 ERA
We faced someone like that in the past week or so and pretty much failed. And Montero is to the Astros as King is to the Rangers and we struggled to get a run off of him. So hopefully we score accordingly top his ERA.

Hope so but we’re running out Heaney so we will have to score and score and score to offset him

It looks like Stroman will not be signing an extension with rhe Cubs. He could be on rhe trading block soon.

Yeah, it was the Cubs who were not wanting to offer Stroman an extension. I don't know what he was asking for.

I wonder what it would takes besides Lowe to land him in a trade.

I am not sure but this cat seemed to think it was gonna cost the whole farm and I disagreed because the fam is quite deep and Goldy is a FA in 2025 I believe, so he's not a rental but does not have multiple years left on his contract.

In our discussion, I suggested we keep Lowe and add PG and plug him in the 4 hole and move everyone down a spot. This dude said it would be pointless to add him.

Goldschmidt's production last year.....35hrs 115 RBI .317 BA, scored 106 runs but yeah we couldn't use that :noidea:

I would think it would take a lot if they didn't want Lowe back in return. Lowe is controllable longer, so that would lessen the prospect cost significantly.

This guy is having an incredible year. Before the HR his OPS was 1.031. If this was any other recent year he would have been called up a month ago.
