    Is everyone from the DR named Alcantara or just everybody from the DR on the Cubs?

    I usually don’t enjoy low scoring games but this game has been great

    PCA gotta slide. He’ll learn

    I want no part of Gavin Kilen so I hope he gets picked before 17.. I know BPA and all but, they are chalk full of those profiles and don't need another one.

    If he doesn’t cut down the strikeouts he’s not going anywhere

    Tough match up today. It’s baseball so anything can happen

    Ohtani had threw three straight pitches over 100 last night.

    I think you are overthinking. The Ricketts give Jed a pot of money each year and he’s allowed to do with what he wants. If he needs more for a special case he asks. That’s it. The Ricketts will tell Jed how much he can spend next year and it will be up to Jed to make a contract under those restrictions. My opinion is that they are going to have “clean books” going into the CBA year. But who knows what will happen with Tucker? It will depend on Tucker, mostly. I don’t think the Cubs are going to get in a bidding war with the Dodgers or Yankees or Giants or Mets. So if he goes to free agency the odds are not in their favor.

    Pinning away about Smith isn’t healthy. They wanted Tucker and had to give someone of value to get him. Given Smith’s performance at the time of the trade, I believe the Cubs knew they had a special talent. Jed worked himself into a bit of a corner and needed a a star. It probably was the best move to make. This isn’t some Lou Brock for Ernie Brogolio (sp?) trade. I hope the sign Tucker to lang term contract, but I would not be surprised if they didn’t.

    Law has a write up of a couple of 18 year old Brewer prospects. Whatever they are doing in international free agency is really working.

    Suarez is a streaky hitter that would make Dansby blush. I’d worry they’d trade for him and he’d go into a funk.

    How did the Cubs lose their 2nd round pick?

    Altuve has the swing of a baseball player in the 1930s.. I mean that in a good way. I love Cam Smith.

    Just to wrap up the Cardinals series- the big story was half empty Busch Stadium

    This is much more enjoyable

    It’s obviously pitching, but that’s true for most other teams too. if Shaw can handle major league heat he’s going to be a 4A player. So I’d say upgrading at 3rd is a need as well.

    I think regression might be a way to look at it, but as the saying goes, the season is a grind. I look at who they are playing. A good team should play around .500 against other good teams and around .650/700 against lesser teams. The Cubs have held their own against the good teams and taken care of the weaker teams before June, but I think injuries and roster construction are now affecting them. Or it could be just the natural ebb and flow of the season. It's most important that they get into the playoffs and that they are playing well at the end of the season.

    They purposefully construct a team each year to be mediocre. We can argue about the reasons, but that doesn't change the outcome. I don't know exactly how much blame to assign to whom, but I'd be willing to bet that whether Jed stays or goes, the team will be mediocre moving forward unless they hit on some draft picks and/or international players. To have an argument or whatever, I consider 88 wins mediocre. Bad = > 82 Mediocre = 83-90 Contender = above 90 That doesn't preclude them from hitting 90th percentiles and making the playoffs or even winning a WS due to the nature of the format, but it's not what they should be doing given their resources.

    I can’t really stand to watch this.
