I don't care if Hultzen can pitch multiple innings or two days in a row if we can just feel confident when he comes in the game.

and if he whines about it, pay him with a suitcase full of nickels and tell him to go away

Drop: Stanton

Add: Trout

Pretty sure the new Cubs network should create "Javy-cam" where there is a camera focused on him alone at all times in the game.

I want interim manager Mark Loretta for the home opener. If we are going to suck, let's just get weird with it.

3 batter minimum is stupid

Single trade deadline is fine, though maybe pushing it a week or so further out would be good.

Increased roster size is good

Don't know why they don't go with a pitch clock, seems like that would solve a lot of issues while not causing any real ones

C-Willson Contreras ($25)
1b- Rhys Hoskins ($100)
2b- Jose Altuve ($50)
3b- Anthony Rendon ($75)
SS- Javier Baez ($100)
OF- Giancarlo Stanton ($200)
OF- JD Martinez ($200)
OF- Mookie Betts ($100)
OF- Bryce Harper ($100)
DH- Carlos Correa ($50)

sending bench players via PM

I like this because it 1. Doesn't help the big time contenders in either league and 2. Will actively hurt the Dodgers (in theory; I imagine Machado swings a game or two in favor of the Padres)

horsefeathers Joe, Pete, Tom, Todd, and the rest of the Ricketts. I don’t understand why rich people also have to be dicks. It seems like they all are. My dealings with people who have that kind of money are next to none, but I have to imagine being born into a family that had loads of money leads ...

Two years ago, the Cubs traded for Justin Wilson, and he was a disaster. He couldn’t find the plate, and the trade was a failure....that year. He was pretty solid last year. My hope is that zchatwood follows a similar path. I’d be happy if he weren’t a dumpster fire this upcoming season. If Chatwoo...

I hung out with Roger Powell today. That was a win. Sure was, good for you. He's an amazing guy. Had some interesting perspective on the program considering Bryce was somewhat interested in it. If he was told the truth by Bryce, I don't think this is ever going to get better. I would believe anythi...

Seriously trying to figure out what cincy is doing with this move... this doesn’t move the needle that much for them does it? Can’t see them any better than third, and that’s with everything breaking right for them. How much salary does this actually save them?

Can Manfred somehow make them sell the team? Preferably to someone who throws money around as freely as Trump makes an idiot out of himself.

I have no idea how you'd pull it off, but man, kick the stupid drafting and rookie contract systems out and set it up so that everyone is just a FA when they show up. The bigger teams can't buy EVERYONE. Alright, now tell me why i'm dumb and this would lead to anarchy and madness. There's very much...

The Pirates' window shut in a hurry, yeesh

It shut in the 2.5 seconds it took Schwarber's dong to leave PNC and splash into the Allegheny

This actually makes a lot of sense

Would make it more likely that the best teams play in the title game. Would be interesting to see how they work the schedules.

Don't like this trade because Goldschmidt kills us and we own Weaver. Sure would be nice to have an extra draft pick to trade because "reasons."

KB: “Hey Bryce, just checking in. Are you ready to sign with us and not those other losers?”

Harper: “Yeah bro, let me just tell Reinsdorf I’m still considering the White Sox.”

As far as releasing the scum bag, sure. But pretty sure they had knowledge of the incident way before today.

Looks like one of my old NCAA ‘14 games. No defense, big plays all over the place, and tons of points.

Saw a tweet that Minnesota isn't going to put Tyler Jay on their 40-man... lefty reliever, 6th pick in 2015 draft, throws low 90s. Might be worth a look, though he has struggled in the minors - has had some shoulder issues so that may be related.

Looking into getting a new desktop for work, doesn't need to be super fancy. Budget of about $500. Really only need the bare bones of word processing and web browsing. Need to have plenty of hard drive storage as well to transfer files, etc. from my old laptop. Suggestions?

hopefully, this means they can all unite in their hatred of David Ross once again.
