    Wesneski has no control

    I don't have an opinion, but I have questions 1. Who do they have that other teams want that are worth anything other than a lottery ticket? I guess Stroman. I don't think Bellinger gets them anything. 2. Would they trade Happ or Nico after signing them to extensions? 3. Would they trade high value prospects for a young ML player(s) who may be a part of their future? A move for the future, not for the present.

    I think the Cubs system is full of good not great players outside of PCA and maybe Horton (I am eating humble pie on that pick.). They will certainly need to go after top tier free agents. I don't know if the owner and executive suite will do that and if they do will they settle for 2nd tier FA. But really what is so demoralizing for me as a fan is the implied promise that these owners were different from all the owners in the past. Instead, we got a bust-boom-bust cycle with no boom again on the horizon. On the plus side, they have invested heavily in pitching analytics and "the lab". On the minus side, they are using the lab to squeeze the most out of mediocre pitchers. I don't/can't follow other teams who seem to know what they are doing to discriminate the differences between what they are doing and what the Cubs are doing. So I have no idea what they should be doing more of and what they should be doing less of. If the Ricketts were better human beings I would be more comfortable with ascribing intentions, but it appears to me, they are milking the cow.

    It’s Howard’s 2nd game
  5. CubinNY
    At this point does it matter? He needs to play almost every day. Same with Mervis. If they aren't going to do that, they might as well send them down. They're obtaining the same amount of information.

    Howard looks like he's put on some upper body muscle while while he was rehabbing.

    who is Felix Stevens? Is he a prospect? I just looked him up. No one has to respond. 23 triple low A season. Alcantara is hitting the ball hard, but he's not elevating the ball.

    should is doing a lot of work in that sentence.

    It's hard to project and I'm no expert for sure. To me the unknown factor is ownership. Right now the Cardinals and the Cubs are the only teams in the division willing to spend to win. All the non-Tampa-based teams, even if they hit gold, will still need to supplement the roster a little or a lot to sustain winning. If the Pirates and the Reds owners decide that they want to win, it could be a really rough stretch for the Cubs.

    never mind

    He reminds me more of Jake Arrieta than Wood. He use to do the mitt tap in his wind up like Jake, but I see he dropped that.

    It's over, Johnny. The season now becomes about developing players. They need to let Amaya, Mervis, and Morel play almost every day and bring up Nelson and a bunch of the relievers to rotate up and down. They won't do that..

    I really love how Horton fills up the zone and goes right after the batters.
  14. CubinNY
    Horton is overpowering to start the game. Made has a beautiful right-handed swing.
  15. CubinNY
    It's hard to break in rookies when all the veterans are not that good either. It just magnifies any mistakes.
  16. CubinNY
    Lol, SB Cubs come back and lead 8-7
  17. CubinNY
    Not a good beginning for Devers. He couldn’t get out of the 1st.
  18. CubinNY
    How rare is it for an 18 year old to be in low A?
  19. CubinNY
    Yes, I'm worried this is a see you 2025, Justin, injury waiting to happen.
  20. CubinNY
    Reds called up De La Cruz.
  21. CubinNY
    Raisan - Law has Nimmala at 8

    Jefferson Rojas has been assigned to MB. He's 18.!

    Sounds like at least some of the members are pissed.

    Just in time for me to take a trip back home. And they are going to be out of town when I'm up there.

    Saudis already bought themselves a President, might as well capture a sport.
