What about a package centered on Alek Thomas and Kevin Ginkel from Arizona? you want to trade Kris Bryant for a reliever and an outfielder with a .667 OPS in High A Well that's one way you can view it Or you can see that you're judging a 100 PA sample, he posted a 400 woba the level prior, his Ks s...

What about a package centered on Alek Thomas and Kevin Ginkel from Arizona?

One other thing that Theo talked about was Cubs hitters who were too easy for opponents to game plan for. Not necessarily KB related, and a couple of guys immediately come to my mind, but what does everyone make of that? The players aren't as good as we think they are to naturally make adjustments ...

We can strike back and hire Derek Johnson as Manager

I remember that one day when Betts declared that he wanted to go by his birth name henceforth

Rewatched some plays from the game, and boy is Kyle Long a shadow of his former self. He apparently aggravated his hip and is questionable for Sunday, but I don't think he should ever play again. He is really bad. Granted, nobody on the line has been all that good, but Long just has 0 ability left ...

Can that happen more often please

Am I alone in thinking Counsell would manage this Cubs team to 95-100 wins? The Brewers started Almora and Russell equivalents all season, one of them at lead off. They had like 2 or 3 remarkable pitchers and then he just rotated the other parts in and out effectively, many times pulling starters af...

Theres only room for one raisin round these parts.

Big Ben needs TJS or something. Out for the season.

Allow me to overreact to a couple of windy Wrigley dongs, but since Hoerner hasn't gotten to play in a juiced ball league until now, I wonder if there are more homers in there than everyone thought. He seems to have a quick bat. A 2018* Gleyber-ian homer spike would be swell. *holy horsefeathers, h...

I see a 6 and a 9

There are a lot of rappers who put out a lot of material and a lot of it is bad. This does not apply to Ghostface. He has avoided the proverbial wall with aplomb.

What's that, you needed another reminder about how absurdly great Pedro Martinez was? Was reading an article about how good Jack Flaherty has been in the second half and they listed the best half seasons by OPS+ since 1920. The best was God Mode Jake's 2016 second half at a 13 OPS+ allowed. Tied fo...

It did suck that we didn't jump on Chapman right when the Reds shopped him but the team was trying to pretend they would avoid scandalous players. I mean it was a pretty hot topic with most Cubs fans I know insisting he wouldnt be worth the headache. Certainly cost us massively though. Although I ha...

It does look like it cuts a little bit, no?

That was a nasty one. Thanks for posting that.

I didn't watch but game day said this dude was throwing 94 mph sliders. Can anyone confirm?

Rofl Browns and Baker. Was getting so sick of their fans already.

My boss had Watkins on the bench

I feel like they just have cases of Robitussin on deck

I would bet money that his heel was injured more than they thought as well

Went from hitting 320/360/600 to 260/300/500

Pretty sure that was Matt Stairs

Damn hes come back completely on fire

Nagy really learned nothing from the playoff loss 13 carries by RBs in that game, 43 pass attempts 11/45 tonight Cohen 1 carry TOTAL (it wasn't tonight) Oh we are just pinching ourselves with this David Montgomery kid according to Nagy, and he gave him 6 horsefeathering carries And his stupid ass de...
