Oh man, that ball was one kick off the wall away from the cycle. -
50 steals would seem to be well within reach for Nico.
-
Ok, the combination of tonight's performance and Sutcliffe's over-the-top barrage of optimism has convinced me... World Series here we come!
-
3 home runs in the inning! Where do these guys think they are, Iowa?
-
If Seiya can be "that guy" in the middle of the lineup, then things begin to get interesting.
-
That helps. Extend that guy!
-
Great outing by Steele. It would be nice to add on here, because I'm not sure I trust the bullpen to get through this lineup in the 8th and 9th without giving up anything.
-
Who was pinning game threads and why did it stop? It's weird to have the 4/11 thread pinned and the newer ones below. If the current day's thread isn't going to get pinned consistently, they probably shouldn't be pinned at all
-
Do the umps have any leeway to make a judgement call in that type of situation, or are they obligated to make the call as written? It's dumb, but also a slippery slope if they start making exceptions.
-
They can't. But like you said, it's better they recognize that sooner rather than digging themselves even deeper into NBA hell. I don't know if anyone has the appetite for another 2-3+ year rebuild, but I don't see a better option.

I still miss Tapatalk! People will continue to tell me why I shouldn't, but I'll keep shouting into the void.
-
Well, if the Tigers eventually get to a point where they are fed up and looking to dump him and pay most of his salary to do so, he could come back and play a super-utility role. Probably wishful thinking, and it may not make perfect sense with the current roster construction, but I would take Javy back anytime.
-
I'm still willing to take him back when the Tigers are ready to move on and eat most of his contract.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 4-14-23
Irrelevant Dude replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Yeah, it definitely wasn't 119. I'm not even sold on it being 109, but at least he hit one ball hard. -
The Bulls need to blow it up for real. The Lonzo Ball injury was extremely bad luck and has been a huge blow to the team's competitive window, but they need to accept the reality now. I don't think trying to re-tool with the current group is going to work. They need real stars to build around, and they aren't going to get those by drafting in the middle of the first round (or not at all).
-
Yay, Sutcliffe. Can we please get some consistency in the booth? Just get 2 guys who aren't terrible and can broadcast almost every game.
-
Game threads have been the biggest disappointment for me. It's early in the season and the team has been playing fairly well, but game threads continue to see very little activity.

His swing looks long, and sloooow. -
Ok, that's just hilarious.
-
Yes, but there is plenty of time to figure that out. PCA and Alcantara are still 1-2 years away. Even if the Cubs miraculously hit on multiple outfield prospects, it won't happen right away. That's why I like this deal being limited to 3 years. It keeps all options open and doesn't lock Happ into LF for the long term if multiple better options develop over the next few years.
-
I can't wait to trade for Kelenic and have him go Jeff Blauser on us.
-
Merryweather is not long for this roster.
-
Ian Happ extension? Update: 3 years, $61M
Irrelevant Dude replied to Rex Buckingham's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I have always been one who thought locking Happ up to a long term deal wasn't the best idea, but I think they found a great middle ground here. The money isn't crazy and I love only having to commit to 3 years. I may have felt differently if there was a LF option knocking on the door in Iowa, but Davis is the only one close and he is a big question mark right now. -

I tried watching one of the minor league broadcasts on Marquee last week and the frame rate was horrendous. I made it about 5 minutes before I gave up. It was unwatchable.
