JoJo pitching like a man on fire, but his career numbers are not good. Go figure. 52 appearances since 2020, no decisions, no saves, WHIP lowest this year and first year below 1.0. ERA lowest this year (2.76) career average 5.16. I want three more like him!
Wisdom gets doinked in the cranium. Looks o.k., we don’t want to see anyone hurt, but hope it’s not a rallying point for the Cubs.
Tepera signed as a FA on 17 Jul, DFA’d on 20 Jul. tough business. I’ve heard of one day gigs before, but three days is tough too. My guess is he knew it was in the cards, so to speak.
3-2 count on Thomas and Leahy throws head high. Double and a walk first two batters. Hope he’s on a short leash.
Carlson may feel a bit overshadowed by the way Burly, Donaldson and Walker have been playing lately, and Nootbar to some extent. But I agree something is off.
Well, decided to line the DeWitt’s pockets today and come to the game. Stadium no more than half full if that, despite what they may claim for attendance. Looks like a Tuesday night crowd, not Sunday afternoon. Cards are getting on base, but then floundering. Walker’s big chance here w/2 on.
Not hopeful for the 2nd half because not much will change w/o a revamped pitching staff, and I don’t see that happening until the off-season at the earliest. We can’t get much past 4 innings with our starters, if that, and our relievers can’t hold in close games. It would be an epic comeback if they take even this weak division. Really disappointing considering the offensive talent we have. I’m bracing myself for what they might shed. Gorman, O’Neil, Carlson, Flaherty, Montgomery, Hicks o.k, but please keep Goldy, Arenado, Walker, Donovan, Edman, Helsley. Helsley is the only pitcher I’d put in the do not trade category, but what do I know? 🤪
Gotta give credit where credit is due…Matz was great today. Now string 4or5 of those together and we may have a solid starter back. And he can blame Oli for not getting his W today.
Agree on Gorman. He needs to reevaluate his approach at the plate. Something is obviously off.
