More than 84 if they are going to win the division.

Great read, thanks for sharing.

Look at the NFL and NBA, there are teams that always compete and teams that seldom "compete" or play to win. A salary cap isn't going to fix bad organizations. It's a lollypop for fans who think "these guys are just playing a game". All the owners are raking in obscene profits, and the value of their teams continues to skyrocket. This is about diminishing the value of labor, and no working person should support something like this.
-
Lol, think about what you just wrote. They don't have to raise their payroll with the status quo. If they push in cap, they will most assuredly have to do so.

It's not going to be the small markets that are forcing the lockouts. It's going to be the Cubs, Red Sox, and a couple of others who don't want to have to pay. The majority of the "small markets" are well below the leaked floor.

Ethan Conrad Out a Month with a Back Injury
CubinNY replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
There are many long, thin muscles in the lower back and shoulder area that take a long time to heal. If it were a structural thing like Bryant, that would be really bad. Hopefully, it's not something like that, but saying not one event caused it is kind of too much and too little information at the same time. -

I wonder if they put in any opt-outs

Because once every 20 or so years, things happen.

It doesn't matter what it's backed up by when it's so obviously inaccurate. If you want to say the Cubs should win the division, that's great. But saying they are projected to win with 84 games and win the division is not likely to happen, and gives the face validity of "backed by a bunch of advanced statistics". It's nonsense dressed up in fancy clothes.
-
Not really against this post, but why do people continue to give these projections when they are off by so much every year? The Cubs will very likely win the division walking away, but if they win it with 84 wins, something will have gone very wrong. The Cubs won the division in 2007 with 85 wins. The last time a team had less than that and won was 1997.

No one is happy in this country except maybe one person and his personal grift factory. He sets the tone. He's a lout, a dry drunk, an ignoramus who glories in his own stupidity. And so was it with this team, blasting Toby Keith and talking about destroying every team, because that's who we are as Americans. And on and on. And don't confuse this with hating America. I served this country as a Peace Corps volunteer because that's what we should stand for. We should strive to fulfill the ideas embedded in the Constitution and all the other things we say we stand for. So all you MAGA humpers and lurkers who are afraid to really say what you mean can piss off.

Lots of empty seats. Reason #1 not to have a baseball game in Miami
-
Let's also remember there is no reason why a human should be calling balls and strikes in the first place. One can't get bent out of shape when they make an error, and also want them to call balls and strikes. I think in this case, the ump got blocked out by the catcher while the ball was traveling, and when he made his decision, the ball was in the zone, but that was before it crossed the plate. There was some anticipation in the call.

The McCaskey’s are the same as the Ricketts without the obvious political stench. They have all the money they need to run a 1st-class operation and pay for a brand-new stadium. They'd rather get someone else to pay for that. These owners are wealthy beyond our comprehension, but when they measure themselves against others wealthy beyond our comprehension, they aren't the wealthiest, as if that even matters from a practical standpoint.

Isn't this about the time that dead arm happens in ST?

good woof or bad woof?

Without games to watch, the ST has so terribly boring.

Chicago Cubs 2026 Top Prospects, No. 7: Pedro Ramirez
CubinNY replied to Cory Sparks's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
You guys need to fix Kelley write up it’s on the front page and not able to comment. If I do have one is that he’s about the most likely player in all the minors to be traded. -
You have to love how these teams are trying to suck every dollar out your wallet even before you get inside the ball yard.

Cubs are on MLB Network tonight

"very" is doing a lot of work there. It's also so much horsefeathers I can smell it from my computer. Why is this incremental approach better when we have the technlogoy to make every call correct?
-
I don't think giving unlimited challenges would harm anything, and I don't think it would be abused. I read the overturn rate was slightly 50%. Think about how often they are wrong when they don't get challenged on close calls.
