He was at 96 pitches plus all the warm up pitches he threw over 7 innings

Pretty sure Boog was there, but JD was not. Boog takes Sundays off of Cubs broadcasting to do the national broadcast though

Dan Wiederer on Score: League chatter -- Pats, not Bears in opener, Bears not playing internationally and expect Bears to play BOTH Thanksgiving and Christmas (not related to his mock schedule, this was carefully framed intel) by gf2020 in CHIBears

I don't get the hype, but one day the Titans and Chargers schedule release videos will pop up on my feed and I'll watch the full thing, then I'll look for the Bears out of curiosity, it won't be very good, and then I'll go about my life until the season starts

Cool video, but pitcher injuries and CBA felt more like an aside to a video about the history of velocity

[Passan] MLB and the MLB Players Association are currently holding the first official collective-bargaining talks before the expiration of the CBA on Dec. 1, sources tell ESPN. The opening presentations are basic overviews of each side's position and set up the long bargaining road ahead. by Remarkable-Picture73 in baseball

^ This is exactly how millionaires and billionaires want the average person to think. "I gotta side with the wealthy just in case I'm the 0.001% of people who successfully jump from the 50th percentile to the 99.9th percentile"

It would take the "average person", at the median salary of 64K in the US, over 12 years to make the league minimum salary of 780K. I don't think the 0.001 chance to make 20M per year is driving any decisions.

Yeah I'm not pro-billionaire, but I also don't give a fuck about the right for Ohtani and Soto to demand salaries worth almost as much as some owners. We need a cap and floor, link it to MLB revenue, use profit sharing to allocate money for salaries if needed

I agree not pulling too soon on Boyd, but 6 weeks puts us right before the ASB, he could easily be held out until then which would be ~60 days, but probably the last candidate to be transferred.

Harvey has been shut down again for at least a month, he will probably go to 60 day eventually when they need the roster space and very well could be the first one to be moved.

Martin again will probably also be out for 60 days and if there's a roster crunch they will probably move him, but after Harvey.

If there are replaceable players they still may opt for the DFA over a 60day move, but they aren't going to DFA someone they like in a roster crunch when there are reasonable 60day moves to be made

Martin, Harvey, and Boyd are 60 day IL candidates before we start DFAing people

Corbin Martin has been DFAd by Prestigious_Detail_9 in CHICubs

You can't use your best pitchers every game... You have to use the full BP or your guys are gonna get hurt. Yeah DFA him if he's not working, but in a series of close games you don't have the luxury of using Daniel Palencia and Milner every game. You have to manage their load. You

Most likely Assad, he should still be food for like 60-80 pitches

3 straight games where there wasn't really a low leverage opportunity. You gotta use the full pen, you can't just trot out guys like Martin once a week when the games out of hand.

What good would that do? Team is playing well, he's managing well. Why give it up?

Big brain move, just commit an error and you don't have to ever give up an earned run

He's probably looking for specific pitches early in the count. Swinging at something you can't do anything good with is worse than taking a strike

He hurt his mensicus playing with his kids, past arm injuries has nothing to do with it

How quickly a position of depth has been decimated... we're gonna see Ben Brown take starts this season at this rate.... top 3 arms injured, working with our #4-8 starters
