  1. Watching the Smokies. PCA is in another world with his defense. I wonder once he gets moved up to AAA how long he’ll stay there.
  2. Honest questions how often are really good prospects traded for other prospects? How often are teams that are out of contention trading prospects for prospects that are going to add value? I know they might be having a 40 man crunch, but I don’t know how other team’s handle that situation who are not looking to buy MLB players
  3. If those things don’t work and in a hurry (Heuer looks way off, Keegan is lost), they need to do something. I don’t think Mooney was totally speculating, but I also think it’s not something they want to necessarily do.
  4. Agreed. I (and probably almost everyone) want them aggressively trying to win games for a change. This is a move that smart teams make who care about winning.
  5. Mooney has an article in The Athletic suggesting they will use Ben Brown in the bullpen. That would be a bold move and I really like it.
  6. How about that! a little life or a dead cat bounce, two really good and fun games in a row. Who cares!
  7. There is like an 85% chance that they are not going to be buying at the deadline.
  8. The Reds might be (probably will be) unloading India at or before the trade deadline. They should get a good return on him even though his defense is pretty suspect. They are an organization on the rise (I think I’ve been saying this for five years, lol).
  9. Will Bill Simmons do?
  10. I really underestimated Stroman based on his injury last year. He is something of a unicorn for his position. If the are able to extend him it will be based on his athleticism. Given his age, I’m hoping it would be a three year contract with a higher AAV with a club option for a fourth year.
  11. This is their best opportunity to win a game this series. I’m sure Ross has a rationale reason for that lineup. I don’t know what that reason is.
  12. The beginning of summer signals the end of the Cubs relevance. I do believe they have a good streak of baseball in them, so you never know, but they appear broken.
  13. Not to mention the fact that the Ricketts love Hoyer. It could be him toeing the company line, but he echoes all the thing’s Tommy Boy says about winning baseball. And I believe Hoyer loves Ross. I can’t see him firing Ross until he absolutely has to do it.
  14. They can’t afford to roster Aliendo. He’s not that good behind the plate and no team can stash him on a big league roster.
  15. I love it. It’s a great place to watch a game. This is my 6 or 7 game here.
  16. Send Barnhart on his way. Let Miguel learn from Gomes.
  17. The Mets travel surprisingly well. Lots of Mets fans here in Denver.
  18. Since they moved these game threads out of game threads the Cubs have sucked balls. The universe is trying to tell you something, new guys.
  19. Very Cubs like to draft a guy who’s not going to be a star. Maybe one isn’t there at 13. I would roll the dice and gamble a bit looking for a game changer.
  20. They aren’t actually trying to win this year so, I don’t know. The Ricketts believe in building a team from the farm. They don’t have any Marquee (no pun intended) on the current roster so they won’t be landing any prospects with sell offs. I think they will stay the course. It’s all they can do, really.
  21. They will end up around. .500 in the most unfun way possible.
  22. I’ll be at the Rockies Mets game in beautiful Denver tonight trying to forget this game
