    Deep fly ball... This one's got a chance... Home run number 100 and a grand slam for Contreras!

    I'm not sure I see a lot of "boom", myself? A "boom" pitcher needs some combination of both stuff and command. We've got guys who can be major league contributors, but I'm not sure I'm seeing big "boom" guys? Do Killian or Wicks have the stuff to be "boom", versus 3-4-5 guys? Do Herz or Bain or Franklin have the control to "boom"? Similar for hitters. Do I imagine any of our guys with the power-contact-defense profile to perhaps project as being in-consideration-for-top-5-MVP-guys? Maybe Hernandez will be, beats me. Maybe PCA will develop into a 15-20 HR guy and be really good. But many of the others just seem to have enough imperfections that while useful is within reach for some, "boom" seems relatively remote. A lot of depth, but not a lot of star power.

    I’m going to be so depressed when they trade Wilson. Or worse let him walk.
  5. CubinNY
    Good win!
  6. CubinNY
    Come on dudes.

    Somebody is going to be in the doghouse in Arizona. Ron said the manager was pissed and sent the pitching coach out before the single.
  8. CubinNY
    Sacks drunk with Cubs, no outs.

    Cubs in biz in the top of the 9th. Walk, hit. Happer up.

    A lot of really great things are happening in the minor leagues for the Cubs organization. I wish Howard didn’t get injured. Hopefully Davis can get healthy.

    not gonna lie that definitely crossed my mind I had a non internet friend, but one who I do interact with in Twitter screenshot a tweet of sulleys making fun of him. And I got to fill him in on all the cool nsbb details of what a mad rambling sports fan he actually is lol He did his best work in the Illini basketball game threads.

    General impressions from SB That was the most well attended minor league game I’ve ever been to. Wicks was not overpowering but very good. Aside from the HR and a pull double down the line, lots of ground balls and soft contact. He was 91-93 on his fastball but his off speed pitches were outstanding. He got no help from the catcher. Their lead off batter Beasley went 3-3 with a walk. He might not be a prospect, but he looked good. Cassie was not impressive at all. I don’t know if it’s the uniform, but he was kind bowling pen shaped. He Stands upright in the box and does the Rizzo hip thing. Pinango has a quick bat, both his HRs were pulled. The Cubs team was clearly a better overall team than Fort Wayne. The HR in the first inning was their offense. Hassell went HR, ground out, walk, K.
  13. CubinNY
    Pinaugo (sp?) is having a game. 2 HR, one of them a grand slam.
  14. CubinNY
    The homer was hit by Padres top prospect Robert Hassell. He’s hitting.360
  15. CubinNY
    The SB Cubs catcher is very bad.
  16. CubinNY
    Lol, at the SB cubs game. There is easily 10K people here, but only about 500 in the stands. Wicks Kd the first guy who got on b/c apparently the catcher isn’t very good. The next dude who is huge took him deep. The third batter who was also huge like linebacker got plunked. Not a good start. He got out of it with a k and a pickoff.

    You can’t make team of replacement players. Maybe you make a bullpen out of them, but not an entire team. So we should overpay Contreras because the rest of the team sucks? Overpay, what the horsefeathers does that mean? Fair market value for a top echelon catcher? If that’s overpaying, yes.
  18. CubinNY
    He’ll be on the 2026 Cubs in September hitting meatballs from teams that are also no longer in contention and Obvious Shirts will make a “We got Balls” tshirt or some horsefeathers. And 2027 he’ll be the starting first baseman on a team filled with replacement level players. I’ve seen this story before.
  19. CubinNY
    Contreras is 30. Since 2017, his first year as a full time member of the Cubs, he's third in PAs for catchers, behind Realmuto and Grandal (who both put up roughly twice as much value in that time frame, but I digress). He's been catching in the organization since 2009. I love the guy, though realistically we're talking about a guy who maxed out at 2.6 fWAR and was not Kyle Schwarber in terms of postseason awesomeness. But someone is going to give him 4-5 years, and it should not be us. You can’t make team of replacement players. Maybe you make a bullpen out of them, but not an entire team.
  20. CubinNY
    Solidarity Sneaky.
  21. CubinNY
    Thompson had a pretty good 4 inning start today. He didn’t miss many bats but he looked good.
  22. CubinNY
    Good win. Wilson is the man.
  23. CubinNY
    They are so bad at the small things.
  24. CubinNY
    I will say that Boog and Suttcliffe have better rapport than Boog and JD. I get a feeling JD doesn’t care for him.

    Givens giving taters out.
