    They better run the horsefeathers table just to show how little it meant to do the stupid horsefeathers they were doing.
  2. CubinNY
    I wish I was up on the language, but I assume that means released them.

    And away we go! Poles is a failure for myriad reasons.
  4. CubinNY
    That's not the reason. I'm not sure if you're being intentionally obtuse, but the reason it is bad is because Poles didn't address the need in the draft, twice! Now they've overpaid and may have a situation where they will still have the need come the next draft. That is horsefeathers awful by any measure.

    agree on all accounts. I do worry about his delivery and propensity to issue walks. It's a funkadelic delivery even from the stretch.
  6. CubinNY
    We get it already. Anytime someone posts about another player just assume that the person also wants the Cubs to make a play for Ohtani. It will help to keep the frustration level down for you.

    The spin cycle in baseball is amazing. You're never out once you're in.

    LA Dodgers will win the bidding war. He will become a shutdown closer.

    I'm not fully on board with Soto due mostly to the great likelihood of it being a one year and off to free agency contract. However, if they trade Morel for him it will be a swap of DHs, with the Cubs getting the more productive DH. The Padres may have other plans for Morel than the Cubs do, but he's a DH for Ross. Ross isn't going to play Morel significantly anywhere else, because he's a redass.

    That sounds about correct. They are all about going about this in the "right" way. But, I kind of believe that if they make those moves they will be better than 2023.
  11. CubinNY
    I'll give credit where it is due. Poles told him to find a team that would give him a better deal and he couldn't.
  12. CubinNY
    good call

    There aren't even enough good FA players to acquire with all the unused money they have. For years my dad has complained that the McCaskey family is cheap and hoarding money. I never really believed him because of the nature of Football operations, but I'm wondering now.

    It wasn't a knock on the Cubs or Rivera. Just an observation. I think there is a pattern that they've been relatively successful with. From Ian Happ to Nico, to Shaw, etc.
  15. CubinNY
    "For Rivera, I see a "jack of all trades, master of none" type of build currently." The Cubs have a type.
  16. CubinNY
    such a disaster, from Halas Hall to Solider Field and all the way down the line.
  17. CubinNY
    Then don't sign him to a big expensive contract. If he can't play CF don't sign him at all.
  18. CubinNY
    If… they sign Belli I hope they trade PCA for a young cost controlled pitcher.
  19. CubinNY
    In that thread there is about a minute of Dan Bernstein going off on the rumors from NBC last night.
  20. CubinNY
    Any time there is disention this kind of stuff happens. I kind of doubt the Bears are leaking derogatory information as a strategy, but there could be someone inside the Bears who has a problem with Fields and is feeding stuff that is derogatory. That person should be fired if they find out who it is.
  21. CubinNY
    Say what you want about Fields not being his guy, he's the architect of this team and its coaching staff. They were a dismal failure before he assumed the position, but they are arguably worse now than when he took over. An NFL football team is not an aircraft carrier.
  22. CubinNY
    As soon as the WS is over, I think Jed should be on the bat phone to Jerry Dipoto trying to pry Logan Gilbert or one of the other young starters away from Seattle. In the minors the Cubs have redundancies all over the infield and the MLB team is locked in in the corner spot for a few years.
  23. CubinNY
    right. People are running with this when the Padres have no track record of doing it and a long track record of doing the opposite.
  24. CubinNY
    Proof of concept.
  25. CubinNY
    They showed a shot of Kevin Warren in the owner's box last night and he looked about the way you'd expect him to look with this team. I'm almost sure that Poles is not going to get fired, but he should.
