General Cubs Chit-Chat

[sneakypower]

Russell came in #31 on the fangraphs trade value thing

 

the juicier bit was he's projected at 4 WAR for the next 4-5 years

[Brian]

At the break, the Nats have MLB’s best ERA (3.29); they just passed the Cubs. On hearing this on Sunday, one Nat said, “Oh, you mean the greatest team of all time?”

 

Saw his quote in a story about the Nats. Cubs hate is strong around the MLB

i mean its pretty fair mockery tbh

[Brian]

This is going to be the heart of our lineup soon, I can feel it.

 

(edit: ugh, I thought his free agency was a lot sooner than 3.5 seasons from now. Needs to have that falling out with Dusty soon.)

2.5 seasons from now.

that's a lot of privilege

Love Harper, even more so in a Cubs uniform, but he has one of most punchable faces in baseball. I guess Bryant realized they were in Vegas and not a Bernie or Bust rally.

I feel like his hair is especially douchey. But that might just be jealousy since I'm losing mine.

There's no horsefeathering way that's not actually some kind of dog food.

Skinny jeans too. WTF.

[17 Seconds]

bryant was number 3 on the fangraphs trade value list.

[sneakypower]

i guess it just depends, would you rather have a player averaging

 

9.6 WAR/162g, owed 5/129 after this season, or

7.9 WAR/162g, owed 5/35?? after this season

Good lord, Harper has the most hateable face

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Well yes, I suppose if Correa jumps from being a 4.5-5 win player to an 8 win player starting next year that would make him more valuable than Bryant. Who wants to put money on that happening though?

It's just a bad pic. He's beautiful.

Is there any way to know when the Cubs are taking BP? I would like to see it once while I'm in town. I know today it was early.

Cubs often don't take BP and I'm pretty sure when they do at home, it's before the gates open.

Best luck is to try and see them on the road, usually can't get in for home BP

I did see it in Atlanta once. I guess that will have to do.

[Clem Fandango]

Just realized the Cubs have a chance to do something they've never done before this season (to my knowledge):

 

Have two hitters with 40 or more home runs in a single season.
