    Man, Hosmer got all of that one.
  2. Irrelevant Dude
    More of the same from the offense, and the middle of the order at that.
  3. Irrelevant Dude
    I don't know the answer to that, but regardless I don't think that argument holds the same weight post-Covid where progression/development was delayed for so many players. Sure, I would rather he be putting up huge numbers in AAA at age 22, but for many guys that was never a possibility.
  4. Irrelevant Dude
    Hosmer in a bench role is almost as dumb as Hosmer starting at first base. What is the point? He brings no value whatsoever off the bench. Nobody ever wants to see him entering the game as a pinch hitter in the late innings.

    I think an extension is extremely unlikely. Having all 3 outfielders locked up to multi-year deals doesn't leave much room for any of the minor leaguers. Nothing is a sure thing with any of the Cubs prospects, but blocking off the entire outfield for the long term would seem to go against the team's whole philosophy of building around cheap, cost-controlled talent. Prior to the Happ extension, resigning Bellinger could have been more realistic, but that was likely an either/or situation.

    Looking at the bright side of this Cubs team returning to mediocrity, Cody Bellinger looks like he could bring a significant return in a deadline deal. If he continues to play as well as he has, he is as good or a better hitter than any of the Cubs "Big 3" were in 2021, and a plus defender at a premium position. Is it possible he might actually net the Cubs a real top ranked prospect?

    I hear nsbb.com may be available.
  8. Irrelevant Dude
    I agree, but what do you do with him if he is on the Major League roster?
  9. Irrelevant Dude
    Leader of men.
  10. Irrelevant Dude
    Yeah, but at least he threw a 27 hopper to home plate.
  11. Irrelevant Dude
    Terrible.
  12. Irrelevant Dude
    And striking out on strike 2.
  13. Irrelevant Dude
    Pitch clock violation cost the Cubs there.
  14. Irrelevant Dude
    Tucker Barnhart is exactly what I thought he was.
  15. Irrelevant Dude
    I think the leadoff bunt single probably changed the entire inning.
  16. Irrelevant Dude
    I don't think I need to see him again after this one.
  17. Irrelevant Dude
    Looks like it's going to be a bullpen day today.
  18. Irrelevant Dude
    Need to start getting more out of Seiya.
  19. Irrelevant Dude
    Too late.
  20. Irrelevant Dude
    Assuming that the Bears have punted on addressing defensive end, they should package their two 7th rounders to move up and grab Wypler in the 6th, then call it a day.
  21. Irrelevant Dude
    Are there any kickers worth taking a flier in with the late round 7 pick?
  22. Irrelevant Dude
    Based on the AAA games I have watched this season, Iowa makes Coors Field look like The Polo Grounds.
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    The Pirates being on top of the division is certainly an unexpected development. I don't expect it to continue, but they are off to a very nice start. If I had to root for another team to win the NL Central though, it would be them.
  24. Irrelevant Dude
    Oh boy. Here we go with Fulmer.
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    How long can the Cubs really keep Morel down? They are in a very interesting situation that I can't remember ever having been in before, with multiple Major League ready prospects and nowhere for them to go. Velazquez, Morel, and Mervis have all shown that they belong on the roster, and that's not even considering what happens if Brennen Davis puts things together. With Happ and Suzuki already locked into the corner spots long term, it seems like there is going to have to be a trade from the Minor League outfield depth at some point. It's a nice problem to have, but one that will need to be addressed in the near future.
