At least take a couple of inches off the top

Suttcliffe on the pregame show with his usual level of hyperbole. He always has to turn it up to 11

Cubs Prospects On the Decline: Pitchers
CubinNY replied to Jason Ross's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Bobby Brownlie (who now works for Scott Boras) -
I know people are generally down on Alonso, but the Cubs need SLG. I would not be against this if they can work out an extension. I'm not interested in an Alonso for the rest of the year trade.

The WS are not in the lottery, but I agree with Goony. The point is not to make the team bad, but to make it better as fast as possible. Unless the Cubs go on an unexpected run of greatness to finish the season, I think the Ricketts are content to give Jed one more year to finish his contract. Next year he's going to need to pull a rabbit out of his hat to keep his job.

I think there is a little bit of a fire lit under this team as they head to the ASB. It's likely not sustainable, but in a short series, all bets are off. I can see the Cubs winning this game if Shota can keep the ball in the yard.

Not really. A favorable pitching matchup

Baltimore has a bad reputation but the area around the park looks great

Dansby with the 6-4-3.

2024 MLB Draft Thread
CubinNY replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I'm secretly hoping they draft Malcom Moore. 1) I love the name 2) They need a fast moving catcher 3) I fell in love with the fluff piece I read about him a few days ago. Before that, the first I heard about him was the rave reviews on his interview. -
THE UMPIRES HAVE NO SAY IN THE WAY MLB CHOOSE TO PLAY BASEBALL.

Only if one believes in pitcher whisperers.

lol. If MLB and the players agree to LIDAR based strike zone there is not one thing the umpires can do about it. It's a rule change. We are no longer going to call balls and strikes this way, we are going to call them that way. The umpires can't say we don't like the pitch clock. They can't say we don't like video reviews. It was told to them how the system would work. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/4410592/2023/04/14/mlb-umpire-rule-changes-opinion/

The umpires have no say in the rules that baseball decides on. They interpret the rules. They take their orders from MLB. So, the decision will be made by the owners and the players.

Baseball isn't art. It's a sport with rules.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 7-9-24
CubinNY replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
I'll be at the game on Friday (Harry Potter night) and I will see if I can get my son to go tomorrow. -
Good point. The Cubs are in no man's land.
-
It might seem counterintuitive, but one of the best things they can do is get rid of the home plate umpire for calling balls and strikes. Once hitters adjust to a true zone, they will learn to leave some of the stuff alone. It will also force pitchers to come into the zone in critical counts.

, Tallion should bring back a decent prospect If they eat enough of his contract

I could see Rossy taking over for Boone when he gets fired after the ASB.

2024 MLB Draft Thread
CubinNY replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
As a more or less casual observer of amateur baseball and the draft I truly admire your interest and dedication. -
This is a winnable game.

Hey, all we need is Mariano Riveria and one of the best three year teams in the last 50 years. Get to work, Jed.
