  1. It’s exciting and all but they have to get the pen stabilized. Just throw strikes. It’s obviously easier than that, but if I’m Counsell that’s what I tell them. If you can’t get them out by throwing strikes you can’t pitch for the Cubs.
  2. Lol, I fell asleep in the 7th inning when I knew it was slipping away with walks. Nice wake up news
  3. I want Cam Smith added back on To the Cubs minor league roster.
  4. the url is not working for me
  5. Dennis Eckersley.
  6. Steve Trout?
  7. Lee Arthur Smith
  8. I’m listening on delay, Tucker just hit his HR. Pat is losing his voice.
  9. boo birds are out. I don't know what they can do when they can't trust anyone in the pen.
  10. Yeah baby, I had a meeting. It's so nice to come back and see the score.
  11. I'm no draft expert and a casual fan of football, and I know the Bears need some high-impact talent, but it seems weird to me that they may take a tight end when it's not a position of need like DL/OL/DE.
  12. The Cubs are "stacking good days" (TM) on the farm
  13. Mervis has a record of needing a lot of reps to get acclimated. I would not be a bit surprised if he has a long career like Matt Stairs.
  14. Also, because he's going to break. It might as well be on a MLB mound.
  15. That's what I want, a bully, Jake Arrietta style on the mound (not off).
  16. I'm not into rankings of things, but Jed and his team are a C- on an A-F scale. It seems to me that they have done everything they've wanted to do, their way. My biggest criticism is that Jed is too risk-averse, and it shows in everything they do. They draft guys who project to be good, not great (Happ, Shaw, Nico, Wicks, even Howard). They sign FAs who are good, not great. And when they do sign a potential difference maker, they hedge their bets with short-term contracts and opt-outs. And they don't spend on a volatile commodity like bullpen pitchers. They are happy to be an 80ish win team. That seems to be the goal, and they are there.
