*** Official 2025 Chicago Cubs Thread***

Really no need. They dropped Dansby today I heard CC say seven is the perfect spot to protect a young hitter. If Happ keeps getting on base at the clip he’s the perfect guy to put in front of the big two. Plus Hoerner is a guy that won’t slow PCA down on the paths batting in front of him.
On top of that, you don't want Busch and PCA batting back to back because they are both clearly better vs righties. That limits where you can put PCA, especially when the guys in front of him are doing well.

Can Kelly play some 1B? Trying to figure a way to get that bat in the lineup more often when he’s this hot. Busch at second and Nico at third, or vice versa, whatever it takes man!
 
Loved listening to prepare game interview of Happ. Such a likeable guy.
They also had Seiya on with his translator. Said he was learning some English then dropped a F bomb, LOL.

How many of you would say you know a little English but aren’t fluent?

Son of beach ****!

Monica has lost velocity on his throws due to the injury I’m not even sure he’s currently our backup shortstop
 
I think Flexen gets a shot to start. Hoping they send Brown down to learn an off speed pitch
I would imagine they just skip Shota's next time as a precaution.

I think Ben Brown is what he is at this point. That spike curve plays well and I don't know if he's ever going to have the feel for that changeup that he's been working on for a while. I think he goes to the pen when Horton is ready and only needs two pitches to be a high leverage guy.

A future of Palencia to Little to Brown to Hodge sounds awfully good going forward after Pressley is gone.
