I’d argue Steele should absolutely be an All Star even despite the injury but I get why he might have been more under the radar this year. 

Who would he bump?

Nice to see the cubs finally realized that Mikolas sucks

[Rex Buckingham]

That was a rocket

[JHBulls]

It’s a home run orgy today. 

[Derwood]

[JHBulls]

Hopefully Mikolas’ doppelgänger sucks as much as the real thing.

What were the lines on PCA having 2 HRs today? 

[Bertz]

Morel's got a lot of problems, I've still yet to see a reason to not expect a wRC+ in the 120 range or better.  "He had a couple hard hit balls to CF" is not a super compelling argument.

[Rex Buckingham]

Seiya looked lost out there on that one

[Eeyore]

"Jameson Taillon is a stud"

WHACK!

HOME RUN

[JHBulls]

It would have been so Cubs if on the final game before the AS break, PCA hits two homers and a fecking wall puts him on the IL. 

[Eeyore]

Shocking to see a pitcher pulled BEFORE blowing the game.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Give me Cohen & JD every game.

[Eeyore]

PCA stole a double and a single in that inning.

Quick question for the draft tonight,  can teams trade up or just into the compensation picks.

Wondering if the Cubs can add picks tonight

They can add picks by trading players on the current roster. Nationals/Royals did it yesterday. Washington's closer went to Kansas City for a minor leaguer and the 39th pick. They can only trade the competitive balance picks. So first round picks are purely set.  Can't trade picks for picks like it's the NFL draft.

Correct, I forgot add that in my initial statement. Had to go back and edit that back in.

What I’ve noticed is that JD will always be the second announcer. Len Kasper, Boog, and whenever Mowens and Cohen have filled in will always be the main announcers. Is there any reason why JD will be relegated to the role of Robin no matter who he is paired with?

[JHBulls]

Ian Happ destroyed that. Damn.

They are different roles, not primary/secondary.

[CubinNY]

Suck it Morel haters

[JHBulls]

And another. So much fun.

[Rex Buckingham]

dongs everywhere... and another! Morel has hit those 2 so dang hard... Fire Boog, keep Cohen
