Someone should give Gomes some more mink oil for that glove.

I agree. They are built to be a consistently mediocre team. I don't think there is a lot of upside or downside variance from any player.
-
The starting pitching is going to be roughed up. How much stress it puts on the bullpen is going to be a big factor on their overall record. This is a team that is relying on pitching to contact and good defense. They are not going to consistently score a lot of runs.

Why are they carrying 3 catchers?

I grew up about 80 miles East of Chicago in SW Michigan. We had an awesome TV antenna so we pulled in WGN. I grew up watching Tommy Skillering, Ray Ranor, Bozo, Family Classics with Frazier Thomas, and of course Cubs baseball. Some of my earliest memories are watching baseball with my dad. Jack Brickhouse and Lou Beadrueau would flip doing games on TV and radio for half the game. During the mid-70s the Cubs were known for starting hot and having the June swoon. My favorite player was Bill Madlock although he was only with the Cubs for a short period. I wore his number and had sweat bands just like him. I remember that I cried like a baby when I found out he got traded (the Cubs have always had bad owners). I can remember 84. We'd be in football practice and have one of the managers monitoring the Cubs game on the radio. It was a crazy year. I still have the Chicago Tribune from when they clinched the division. Heart break is a big part of being a Cubs fan and it has prepared me well for life. The Ricketts have really taken a toll on my love of the Cubs, but I can't quit them. I'm a die hard.

2023 Spring Training Games Thread
CubinNY replied to Bertz's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Smyly getting knocked around pretty good today -
Can we have the old site back? Me no likey

Love the title as that was the opening song for the games on WGN that year. Everything is relative, in comparison to the past five or so years that top of the lineup looks great. In comparison to what it should be given the Cubs resources, not so much.

I'd like to formally request access to the social forum, please and thank you.

Seems like a good return for McKinstry. Put him in the pitch lab and see what they can do with him. I guess that they think they can coax some usability out of him and he's still young.
-
I'm ahead on that one.

My bold prediction is that the Cubs finish a few games over .500, Nico cements himself as the best hitter on the team. Not bold, but this team is built to be mediocre while they wait and see what percolates on the farm. I suppose a bold prediction would be that they are a lot worse or better than mediocre. I don't think Happ is going to be as good as last year, but Bellinger will be better. Swanson is going to have a difficult start to the year, but at the end, he'll be right around his career norms, maybe +6 HRs.

Chicago Bears Offseason Thread (the tank must payoff)

They have a glaring need on both sides of the LOS. Kind of a no-brainer here. -
2023 Bold Predictions - Minor League Edition
CubinNY replied to Tim's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Alcantara is taking MLB at-bats in September. -
I’m just happy we don’t have to worry if the Michael Hermosillo’s of the baseball world are making the team. At least they have a major league roster of 26 players.
