    Jed Hoyer really had a near complete disaster of an off-season.

    The Cubs have to be able to do better than Mastrobuoni. I'm yet to see anything he does well, or even average.
  3. Irrelevant Dude
    Doesn't make any sense to me either.

    Just got home and fast forwarded through the game, mostly to see how Kyle looked. I'm not sure what was worse, the Cubs offense or that ad projected onto the pitcher's mound. I'm going to be really annoyed if that is going to be an every game thing now.

    I can't go there. Not for the last man standing from the World Series team and the guy who outdueled Kershaw to clinch the NLCS. I know he's not that pitcher anymore, but if he's good enough to return anything of value, he's probably also good enough to factor into the Cubs rotation for the rest of the year.

    Nick Madrigal went. Not far enough yet though.
  7. Irrelevant Dude
    They have to be positive toward something.
  8. Irrelevant Dude
    Your math is way off. No way is he hitting more than 200 homers this year.

    So Morel is peak Sammy Sosa, but not an asshat.
  10. Irrelevant Dude
    This Morel fella is on some kind of heater.

    What's the deal with game threads not being in the game threads forum anyway?

    It's going to be a real stretch for Bronny to be 1-and-done to the NBA though. I also have a hard time envisioning a scenario where teams are willing to throw away a first round draft pick just to attract a 40+ year old LeBron. It will be really interesting to see how that all plays out.
  13. Irrelevant Dude
    Lakers swept. You hate to see it. Seriously though, how much longer can LeBron keep doing this? He played all 48 minutes tonight, scored 40 points, and was 1 assist from a triple double. He will be 39 years old next season and, as much as he is a complete freak of nature, time has to catch up to him eventually.

    This is my biggest concern. The Cubs are at the point where they are supposed to be turning the corner and entering their new competitive window with a fresh supply of minor leaguers to drive their success. Their minor league situation has improved substantially, but they still lack any real difference makers and there is no clear path to obtaining any. It would be great if they could make video game trades where multiple "pretty good" prospects can be exchanged for one really good prospect, but that just doesn't happen. They will likely have plenty of minor leaguers who can fill roster spots, but they can't count on those guys to come up and create a new Rizzo/Bryant/Baez core. So that basically leaves us back where they are going to need to spend themselves out of this hole if they are serious about competing, and are they really willing to do that?

    It's still early, but Mervis is hitting the ball on the ground way too much.
  16. Irrelevant Dude
    I hate it. I guess we were spoiled by the consistency of Harry & Steve, Chip & Steve, Len & Bob, Len & JD, etc. Boog is fine, but I would prefer the Cubs find a quality broadcasting team who could be there every day. I do like hearing Pat on TV, but it has a cascading effect of making the radio broadcast almost unlistenable when he isn't there.
  17. Irrelevant Dude
    That's called the "Hosmer Hangover".
  18. Irrelevant Dude
    Maybe the strategy of completely rebuilding the bullpen every year with a collection of misfit toys is a flawed one.
  19. Irrelevant Dude
    No need to worry. Kyle Hendricks to the rescue!
  20. Irrelevant Dude
    I still think it's going to be Codi Heuer, eventually.
  21. Irrelevant Dude
    I agree. With the exception of a few recent bad losses, this team has been losing way too many winnable games. That is the type of thing that usually falls on the manager's shoulders. In reality though, roster construction is much more to blame for the Cubs' current position.
  22. Irrelevant Dude
    Not a chance.
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    Where is the actual Top 20 list?
  24. Irrelevant Dude
    It's Quintana 2.0, except this time the Cubs overpaid in dollars instead of prospects.
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    This offense is still infuriating.
