General Cubs Chit-Chat

Umm, I think these plays should be reviewable? It could be very important in a playoff series.

 

I think the reason it’s not reviewable is that too many things happen dependent on the original call after. Imagine this identical play happens in the bottom of the 9th of a tie playoff game. You review it and see it hit the ground, but what’s the ultimate call? If the call on the field was no catch Bryant is going to ensure he gets the lead runner, can we assume he would’ve been out or that there would be a double play?

I know and that's why I have it as a question instead of a statement...

 

It's difficult to breakdown and determine how to properly rule it, but maybe it needs to be ruled like interference or something like that? If every team is told all catches/trap plays are reviewable now then maybe players will be told to react based on what they think happened. It's complicated no doubt. I'm not exactly sure how to determine this exact play or what should happen, but I feel like all catches should be reviewable.

Dodgers seem to have a good handle on it as well.

 

I will say this I bet the Venn Diagram of scouts, coaches, players, and FO that dont believe in analytics & sabermetrics would overlap pretty well with the population that doesnt believe in masks & think Covid is a hoax.

 

No surprise that a Friedman or Epstein led franchise would take this seriously.

I don't think analytics and sabermetrics has anything to do with the Covid outbreak, especially when you see half the Cubs without masks talking in the dugout.

What is your limit for a Tyler Chatwood contract extension?

 

He’s probably earning himself a million per good start (unless the wheels come off).

Is 2 years, $25m a reasonable answer? Obviously time to see how much of this performance is real, but the dude had a 2.84 ERA (which was worse than his FIP) in the second half last year. He keeps his ERA under like, 3.8something, I'd probably be fine giving him the same contract we gave him the first time.

I don't know if it will be with the Cubs, but he could make himself a lot of money this year. What a difference a few years makes.

[Bertz]

I think what to do with Chatwood really depends on how much money the team is willing to spend. Assuming they decline Lester's option, there's about 25-30 mil to the luxury tax line. That's probably enough to do something like resign Chatwood, sign a reliever, and trade for a starting pitcher in arb (e.g. Jon Gray). As things currently stand, that ought to be a solid offseason.

 

But if PTR decides to PTR even more than anticipated, Chatwood is probably not an efficient use of resources.

If he generally looks like this I’m guessing some team goes multiple years. But I expect a weird and suppressed FA market, I wouldn’t go more than 1 year at $9-11 mil with an option for $12-15 mil and like a $2-3 mil buyout on him. There’s a decent amount of SP available in FA this year that I wouldn’t really commit to any more than 1 year.

I get what he's saying and that it was for aesthetics, and I appreciate it very much, but a 0.88 batting average would be very good.

[CubinNY]

It will be interesting to see how the Cubs do against teams with winning records, but at the very least we know that they are much, much better than the bad teams.

Fun fact: there are currently only 3 teams with winning records on the Cubs schedule, and they're all in the AL Central

Fangraphs now has the Cubs at 95% to make the playoffs and 68% to win the division
