    4ks in 2 innings for Wesneski. Great outing.
  2. CubinNY
    Wesneski seems to be slightly bothered by the pitch clock.
  3. CubinNY
    Coomer does not like the pitch clock.

    Counterpoint: great time to get a glimpse at some of the organizations "rising stars" and lesser-knowns. That's exactly why I like to watch.

    Wesneski (sp?) comes out firing seeds.

    Mule came in the top 30. Do you all think he will be in instructs all year? Instructs are in fall after the season. I’m guessing you mean Extended Spring Training. I’m pretty sure he’ll stay in Mesa for Ex ST when the minor league teams break in April and will play in the ACL when their season starts in the summer. Between being a two-way player and having an arm injury his senior year, he’s pretty inexperienced, even compared to the normal prep prospect. Thanks, I can never keep the development leagues straight. How long do they let him stick with being a two-way player?

    They did lower ticket prices, but they are still top 5. Honestly, I think they are trying to pay down a lot of debt they incurred when they remodeled Wrigley. At the same time, they have massive tax breaks due to its "historic" status. But I think they've invested heavily in outside ventures that are tangentially related to the Cubs and using the Cubs to leverage those things. We don't know due to the less than transparent way MLB works.

    Some of us always tried to make sure that there was a game thread for each game to honor Fred. Sometimes it would be one page other times it would be a few pages. I think some way to automate it would be good, but I also likee the unique way we did things. You can look at some of the headers for example from last year

    How many concerts happen at Wrigley a year that they don't have to split the profits with any other team? Looks like about 10 per year. How much do you think that adds to the bottom line? BTW, the Dodgers who were only averaging 3-4 concerts in the years before the pandemic had 9 last year. If that continues, that's not even a revenue booster for the Cubs over a team like the Dodgers. This year alone they have 6 concerts already scheduled including big ticket ones for Bruce (2 dates), Pink, and Guns N Roses. Not to mention hotels and rental property surrounding Wrigley. Don't give me this [expletive]. The bottom line is that they can afford to spend whatever it takes to make the team better. They are not doing so to maximize profit. They care about winning baseball so long as it makes them obscene amounts of money.

    I don't think this is true. At all. The Dodgers have an $100 million per year head start on every other team in the league via their tv deal, the Cubs are far from poor but they don’t have a structural advantage that approaches it. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/lets-update-the-estimated-local-tv-revenue-for-mlb-teams/ How many concerts happen at Wrigley a year that they don't have to split the profits with any other team?

    You think you can buy Twitter next?

    And I wouldn’t be in a club that would accept me as a member. Have to keep the riff-raff out.

    When this board started, CT was like 12. CT is still 12, and I refuse to engage with anybody who tells me otherwise. CT is a practicing lawyer now, I think.

    I like the swear-word filter. At first, I was aginst it, but I like it now. We can still write it but it is much more fun to try and decipher what word is used.

    Traintos looks like he's 12
  18. CubinNY
    These Brewers announcers are very generic and not good.
  19. CubinNY
    Kevin Alcantara with two hits. He's a keeper
  20. CubinNY
    William looks a lot like Willson, same stance same swing
  21. CubinNY
    Thanks, I got in late.
  22. CubinNY
    Ben Brown gave up 3 runs today, but he's got a really good fastball. He looked great, overall.
  23. CubinNY
    I really like Rowdy Tellez from the Brewers. He's a masher.
  24. CubinNY
    only if you change it to assbass

    TBH, my fear is the opposite. They make a go of it here for a year or so and when it doesn't develop they shut it down due to cost.
