    This team is on some kind a bender. Hopefully there is no August hangover. The hitting, yes! But the pitching is more impressive.
  2. CubinNY
    He's not really an OFer, they are using him there b/c that's his best fit on this team. Why wouldn't they resign Suzuki?
  3. CubinNY
    It has little to do with him as a person. He doesn't have a position on the Cubs. If Shaw is too much for Peralta, fine. He's surplus on this team. Find a match with a good "cost-controlled" starting pitcher somewhere.
  4. CubinNY
    I'd try to trade Shaw for him. He's got nowhere to play. He's not going to hit with enough SLG. His fate was sealed when they signed Bregman.
  5. CubinNY
    That's not what I wrote.

    Who said they were cheap horsefeathers? As is your want, you take something, twist it to fit whatever the hell you want, and then post nonsense. They signed Shaw for under slot and used the money to sign Wiggins for over slot.
  7. CubinNY
    It's their MO: they draft pitchers who are already dealing with arm issues, have little record of sustained success, and have "stuff". If anything, it's their draft philosophy and always looking for "value," or arbitrage, or whatever the current jargon is for getting players to sign under slot.

    I'm so glad theyare being destroyed.

    I would bet money the Cubs draft him.

    I'm falling in love with Alcantara. I know the Cubs will trade him for a closer or some mid-rotation SP at the deadline. Such is life.
  11. CubinNY
    Cardiac Cubs
  12. CubinNY
    I know Alcantara has a lot of swing and miss in his game, but I hope they hang on to him. He's got too much talent to trade.

    Kind of a big series. I remember going to a lot of games in the early 1990s while I was in undergrad, and the Reds fans would fill up Wrigley and be obnoxious as hell. So, horsefeathers the Reds, let's destroy them.
  14. CubinNY
    Fun game so far.

    Pat with the weekend off after the road trip. Zach has gotten a lot better, but he's not Pat.

    Sterns says they aren’t going to fire Mendoza. They’re all going down together
  17. CubinNY
    I would not count on Steele to pitch at all this year.
  18. CubinNY
    They've had a lot of injuries, but he survives by firing his awful manager.

    The problem isn’t the data, it’s the claims made by people who want to appear smart or don’t understand statistics and measurement error. The model is never going to approximate reality with 100% certainty because there are too many variables to control for. It doesn’t mean the model is useless, but also isn’t a crystal ball.
  20. CubinNY
    Honestly, I'll be happy if they can win one game. WC road trips are a beast. It's why JD skips them.
  21. CubinNY
    I don't know horsefeathers about horsefeathers. It appears to me that Poles has his guys that he wants to draft and that's who he drafts. Weak DL class or not. IMO, he sees himself as an elite talent evaluator. It's the coach's job to put the talent together. Look at who he's drafted over the last four years. It hasn't been great and only occasionally has it been good. He lucked into Caleb, now he lucked in Matt Shaw Jr or whatever. The Loveland pick was great. Caleb was great. A few OL were very good to good, but the team is still Swiss cheese. There is no continuity from draft to draft (I'm not sure if there should be, but at least draft for need, or figure out a way to get the players one way or the other). Caleb is one bad Soldier Field turf leg turn away from a different career.

    It’s bad enough listening to Sutcliffe when they’re winning.
  23. CubinNY
    They are using him like a rented mule. It’s clear he was out of gas. moronic
  24. CubinNY
    Mo!!!!!!!!
  25. CubinNY
    I think I’m in love
