    Go look it up, dipsh!t.

    Who in the horsefeathers can the ump be looking directly at the ball from three feet away and call that fair?
  3. CubinNY
    Shaw hitting into a lot of bad luck.

    Nor did they buy a ticket to see a loss. It's baseball; there are 162 games. Sometimes a tie is the proper outcome.
  5. CubinNY
    why?
  6. CubinNY
    Sure, but short series baseball is fundamentally different than the regular season. That's what I was getting at.
  7. CubinNY
    The law of unintended consequences at work. Baseball is such a different sport. I think the regular season should be at least as important as the postseason. It should matter more (my opinion, obviously). At first glance, I dislike the idea of wildcards in baseball because it rewards mediocrity, but at the same time, if it also results in teams building for multi-year success, that's a positive outcome. I don't think it addresses the fundamental problem of "small market" teams losing marquee players to free agency, though. Only revenue sharing will achieve that, and I don't see people with the Ricketts mindset willing to share the wealth.

    It's not a gimmick so much as a way to speed up the process. I'm perfectly fine with a tie game in baseball. How often does it happen?

    If Gore becomes available, Jed has to make a play for him. I'm not sure what that looks like. If they get Gore and no one else, they are set up for the playoffs.

    Even though he seems like a Cub killer, I have no interest in Suarez. He's such a streaky hitter. If he goes into a cold streak to end the year, he's not much better than Shaw.
  11. CubinNY
    So he’s a a borderline top 100? Shiny new toy.
  12. CubinNY
    I don’t see how anyone could put Conrad in the top 10z

    Is it still five years to judge? I'd say it depends on who the prospects are in that year's draft that the team drafted. Like if you draft a high upside HS pitcher in round 1, a polished college position player in round 2, and a 4-year college pitcher in round 3. For the latter two, you should have a good idea of what you have in three years. In the later rounds (6-20), the bust rate is so high across the board that it seems somewhat unfair to judge unless a team has multiple hits across multiple years.

    Love the ABS challenge
  15. CubinNY
    The red carpet and the rest of the nonsense is just awful.
  16. CubinNY
    NL vs AL - AL has dominated for over a decade. Let the game begin
  17. CubinNY
    The Cubs always do their own thing in the draft, but this was the most Cubs doing their own thng in the draft that I can remember since the Hendry days.
  18. CubinNY
    Lol, they seem to know what they are doing, so I guess? I'm all in. Draft every hurt kid who has a good scouting report before he got hurt.

    I was listening to MLB radio this morning on my way to work, and I cannot understand how Steve Phillips maintains a position in the world of baseball in any capacity. They were talking about Francona's 2,000 win as a manager and what a great communicator he is, and blah, blah, blah. And then Phillips mentions that he passed over Francona for Art horsefeathers Howe to manage the Mets when he was the GM. And he was bragging about it, and not in a self-deprecating way.
  20. CubinNY
    I'm not saying anything about this pick, but i would also like to point out that, "The model" is a judgment aide and shouldn't be used in place of the judgment of experts.
  21. CubinNY
    My hypothesis is the Cubs think the draft is weak this year and are saving money up front to take big swings later on.
  22. CubinNY
    Irish saying bigoted stuff while drunk is a Sunday-Saturday thing down on the plains in Auburn. They may have an active klan chapter there.
  23. CubinNY
    Definitely an under slot, something they love.
  24. CubinNY
    I don’t think Irish is going to make it past Boston. But if he’s around when the Cubs pick….
  25. CubinNY
    Run on HS kids
