  1. Boy the Cardinals won that trade Carson Kelly, Luke Weaver, and Andy Young.
  2. Patrick F Wisdom to you. 3 run HR for the Cubs.
  3. Phillies Fire Girardi Them giving up on Gabe Kapler after 2 seasons of squeezing out a .500 record from a pretty bad roster looks increasingly dumb as the days go by. They didn't like Kapler because he did things based on data they didn't understand.
  4. Eh, Gomes and Higgins gets you through this (lost) year...Gomes is a pretty safe bet to put up mediocre production next year if nothing else falls into your lap, so that gives you almost two years to sort it out. It's been a relative luxury having him, but a lot of contenders just plug in veterans at that spot. lol
  5. if is a big word, sometimes.
  6. Which makes their play before this stretch look even worse. Despite some decent play recently, they are closer to the worst record in the league (5 games back) than the division lead (10 games back) It's just regression to the mean. They aren't as bad as then and they aren't as good as now. They are a 70ish win team with micro bursts of awful and great. It doesn't look worse or better when viewed from a distance.
  7. The kick in the nuts when they trade Willson will be a hard one to take.
  8. Jordan Nwogu is breaking out in SB.
  9. Cubs playing longball
  10. Morel double Wilson dong. 2-0 Cubs
  11. I really wonder what the Cubs are looking for and that will be the deciding factor. But when they do trade him, they will have a huge hole at the position. The Mets, Blue Jays, and Padres have pretty good catchers in the minors. Maybe the Cubs will be looking to replace Wilson.
  12. Houston's catchers are currently putting up a 124/214/211 slash line. Padres are 238/291/322. Doubt the Sox would be an option with Grandal and also just being the Sox, but currently getting 176/261/229 from that spot. Tampa is at 188/211/339. Mets are 222/257/304 Even someone like the Yankees, 10th in fWAR from that position, are slashing 217/267/316 This is all compared to Willy's 277/395/514 so far. Yes, his defense is suspect, to put it lightly, but he's basically doubling the production of all those teams with playoff aspirations right now. Factor in his clubhouse attributes, postseason experience, etc....someone is going to want him to be their starter down the stretch. With Higgins not falling on his face and Gomes still around somewhere (I think?) definitely think they should keep limiting his innings behind the plate (15th in baseball so far in innings caught) to avoid a major slump. I don't know how anyone can watch Willson and say his defense is suspect.
  13. Errors costing the Cubs today. Should be 4-1. Tie game.
  14. I’m more excited about the Cubs now than I was at the start of the season. Bring everyone up and get them in the game.
  15. The Cubs seem to have a surplus of promising outfield prospects. I wonder if they will exchange one or two for some starting pitching.
