  1. Nobody knows why. I have no problem with piggybacking Smyly, but Wesneski was pitching well and should have been allowed to go through the order a second time.
  2. The Cards broadcast replay is pretty good. They were FLOORED that Mikolas got tossed. So good.
  3. I’m not opposed to both trading stroman and trading for a 3rd baseman.
  4. It’s gonna be fun watching the jets finish 3rd in their division.
  5. Torrey Craig is a nice signing. We needed better 3 point shooting and perimeter defense. They addressed those needs with Carter and Craig. Rebuilding was likely the better route, but pretty happy with the moves made. All below market 2-3 year deals should make this easier to blow up and get something in return when the time is right.
  6. I know we don’t have many great bullpen options but Merryweather pitching in a 1 run game in the 8th seems destined for failure.
  7. Morel’s power amazes me. That dude is listed at 145 pounds and hits absolute BOMBS.
  8. I think this Is the move. I would also be in favor of skipping a turn or 3 for Steele and Wesneski at some point later in the year.
  9. Assad has pitched 10.2 innings over 3 starts at Iowa. He is NOT stretched out. There is no justification for throwing him out there for a 6th inning the third time through the order. Go to Keegan, Leiter, or even Rucker. You have Steele going tomorrow followed by an off day.
  10. Assad was great. Don’t know why Ross thought it was a good idea to throw him a 6th relief inning the third time through the order when he’s not even fully stretched out.
  11. I would hate to see Kyle replace Wesneski. I have little faith that Kyle would be any good right now (and maybe ever again). With a guy that relies on feel so much, I’d rather give him an extended period of time of not looking like ass before giving him the ball on the major league team. I also wonder if we will want to go to a 6 man rotation or skip some of Steele’s starts at some point to keep his innings down. His career high was last year at 119 IP.
  12. The Cubs are also 7th in MLB in BA with RISP. 17th in OPS/wRC+. Just some reverting back to the mean with how great they were to start the year. It’s an unfortunate stretch, but overall pretty close to where I expect them to finish the season offensively.
  13. I’ve never heard of BaseRuns. I like it!
  14. Agree. The Bears considering a QB in that hypothetical next year would be contingent on JF not progressing as a passer, and thus being top 10. I don’t expect that to happen. NFC south is all horsefeathers, so who knows with that pick.
