    He's more than likely to not make it, but it's still too early to tell. He's shown an ability to adjust at each level so far. There is reason to believe he can adjust. In his first ABs he was doing pretty well at waiting. He may be pressing now.

    He had a pretty bad spring and a lot of helium last year, so I don't blame the Cubs for where he started. They have to give him a long leash to get himself comfortable. The way Ross sets playing time is not necessarily helpful for that. But it's on him to sink or swim if they give him enough time.

    If Mervis can have more competitive ABs more often he could be a key piece to moving the team forward. I'm hoping for progression for him and lots of playing time. Jed needs to tell Ross to let him play.

    I'm not sure they can spend their way out it either. They need to be good at identifying a quality or qualities of players to augment what they have in others. They need strike throwers. They need to cut down on strike outs. And they specifically need slugging.

    infuriatingly Cubs.

    First class write-up. They put a lot of resources into the pitch lab, but they haven't found a solution for throwing good pitches. They walk too many and throw bad strikes. The minor leagues have a lot of good players and no great players. And the Ricketts are content with buying one good player and paying him like a great player once every six years or so. There are bad owners all over baseball, but there are none who have the combination of abject awfulness of the Ricketts family.

    They do not care. I imagine they get a discount from all their talent for working part-time, which adds up to paying less than they would if they had an intact booth.

    Tommy Boy loves Jed and Jed loves Ross. There will not be any firings this year.

    Zademan is not a good pbp guy for baseball
  10. CubinNY
    He had such a great spring. He left everything in Arizona

    Not go nothing, game threads belong in the game threads.

    It would be great if they won.

    Drinking gin and tonics by the pool and listening to the Cobs. Getting a jump on Summer

    I hope the Cubs aren't wanting any pitching from Iowa because they are awful too.
  15. CubinNY
    Duffy needs to be released.
  16. CubinNY
    make it 8, five in one inning.
  17. CubinNY
    7 walks in 5 innings. I think they are using robot umpires.
  18. CubinNY
    Iowa walking the house.
  19. CubinNY
    was that a Ross quote or are you making that up?
  20. CubinNY
    I don’t think I can stand to listen to this.
  21. CubinNY
    Morel is a starter and someone has to lose playing time.
  22. CubinNY
    He got out of it without a run. But it was after a HR.
  23. CubinNY
    Killian is doing ok in this outing, he just cannot throw enough strikes. 2 walks and HBP in the third.
  24. CubinNY
    Iowa game also not working through the computer.
  25. CubinNY
    It's so disappointing. Also, I just noticed that Bryce Ball was demoted back to SB. He was kind of a personal hopeful for me.
