July 4, 20242 yr Thank god for Rojas having the speed he does. alright won the series. If the cubs keep sinking bellinger, happ might be available
July 4, 20242 yr That’s why Rojas is needed on the roster. He easily saved a run there with his defense and speed.

He should really always be a defensive replacement after the 7th inning if we are winning. Another reason why I want Cody Bellinger is not only because he’s a good hitter and good chemistry guy, he’s a gold glove outfielder. So you’re not just getting a bat but you’re getting a good field outfielder. So realistically in the playoffs, you could take out Casty and put in Bellinger, Marsh and Rojas. So if you’re ahead in the last two innings of the game, you have a chance to be really good defensively

They should be able to maintain a 6.5-7.5 game lead in the division heading into the break. If they only win 5 or 6 of the next 11 I will be disappointed. Both the Dodgers and Braves series are at CBP and 4-2 or better is not unreasonable to expect … plus 4-1 against the Cubs and A’s. So 8-3 out of the 11.

Oh i get why he has to say it. but when you are 1 for 13 prior to that at bat and you have struck out 4 out of your last 6 at bats prior i really don’t think you can be like my at bats have been getting better. It’s one thing if he’s hitting the ball hard and it’s unfortunate luck where it gets caught or defender makes an amazing play. That is not what was happening prior to that at bat. I’d argue his strikeout in his at bat in the 6th prior to his 8th inning hit was an awful at bat as he struck out on 3 pitches

To be fair he was careful to say "feel” twice and made a distinction between that and "results”. In any case, let’s hope he improves. It would really help if he can get a hit here and there.

His issue coming up in the minors was he’d lose his control at times. It’s why most didn’t think he’d make it as a more than a 4th and 5th starter at best. His command for much of the year and in 2023 has been terrific. What’s made him as effective as he’s been
July 4, 20242 yr Could see that coming. Sanchez command has been all over the place this inning and he had to throw strikes cause he was down 3-1

July 4, 20242 yr Just now, Joe Shades 73 said: Jinx This goes back on your pitching coach and your manager for not going and talking to him after he walked the first guy on 5 pitches and then gave up a hit. At that point, you should’ve went out and talk to him to calm him down. Instead, you let him continue pitching and he falls behind 3-1 in the count and it goes yard. And then two batters later he walks a guy and then finally you go out and talk to him. He needed this about 3 batters ago. What the F are you waiting for to go talk to him? frankly he has poor control today and guys are belting pitches in the zone. He’s gotten ours cause cubs batters have swung at some bad pitches like Nido just did.
