2025 MLB Season

[GB Warrior]

Carlos Santana to Cubs.

Rob Thomas still a free agent.

It's 2am, he might be lonely

The chorus to "push" is what Aroldis Chapman listened to before every game during 2016

I'm certain I'll get crushed for this take, but Civale/Vaughn trade working out for both teams.

Small sample size, but Civale's last three starts:

17.1 IP
0 Earned runs
7 hits
20 K's
3 Walks

The Cubs claimed Civale off waivers today.

Cubs went 5-1 vs Colorado this year.

They must lead their division.

No; that's not how it works.

No; that's not how it works.

If they don't lead their division, I hope their fans aren't taking any pleasure in this season

"I hope that Major League Baseball is getting ready to put Roger Clemens in the Hall of Fame, a place where he has belonged for many years! 354 Wins, second in Total Strike Outs, Low Earned Run Average, played in 6 World Series, 7 Cy Young Awards (A Record, by 3!), and was, during much of his career, unhittable,"

In one post, Donald Trump completely erased all memories of Randy Johnson.

Yup. Ultimately came to two guys that suck ended up proving they each, do in fact, suck.

Shut up and tariff.

(I understand this does not an-MVP-make), but Pete Crow-Armstrong just had a two-out, two-strike bunt single to keep an inning alive. I'm not sure the last time I've seen that outside of MLB The Show.

Fast players are exciting; fast players with power, (Turang, Crow-Armstrong, Naylor, J.), are even more so.

I see what you did there...Sneaky...slotting PCA into players with power

Absolute hose job by Jim Wolf to cost the Brewers a chance at this game.

Eh. Borderline calls either way. We have another closer that comes in too wild at times.

As I said, it was borderline.

Make a better pitch

Every team in baseball would take him, of course, but The Miz is now sporting a 4.50 ERA.

Same issues that plagued him in the minors.  Lack of strike zone control, oftentimes out of the blue.  Pretty common in young, power pitchers.  Not saying he's Scherzer so don't say I am, but that was an issue for Scherzer at a young age.  You can pitch in the zone but you have to be able to pitch away from the hot spots for hitters and Misiorowski finds an inning or two where he can't.  Couple that with hitters not chasing and it doesn't take long for trouble.  Burnes ran into this as well in his second season in the bigs. 

[18thandWells]

In my not-humble-as-it-should-be opinion, Jacob Misiorowski should start one more time against the Pirates, and then sit until next season.

Milwaukee is the best team in baseball without him, and I don't see the role he fills in the playoffs. I could be wrong.
