    Not after the hard contact he gave up in the 7th.
  2. Irrelevant Dude
    He's a bat-first first baseman without the bat. Quite the value in today's game.

    Once again Schwindel fails to make the easy pick at first.
  4. Irrelevant Dude
    Intentional walk with an 0-1 count. That's not something you see very often.

    I know there is still time to turn it around, but what a disastrous season this has been for the White Sox so far, and Tim Anderson possibly being out for an extended period of time won't help.

    I kept thinking he reminded me of someone, but I couldn't figure out who. You nailed it though. Junior Lake is exactly who I was thinking of.

    This Mets/Giants game is nuts. The Giants had an 8-2 lead at one point, then the Mets scored 7 runs in the 8th to take an 11-8 lead. The Giants came right back in the bottom off the 8th and tied the game on a Joc Pederson home run (his 3rd of the game). The teams have a combined 22 runs and 33 hits so far.

    Did anyone ever think otherwise?

    Grace is working with Bally Sports in AZ. Unless he was just a postgame guest after one of the games last weekend. Yeah, but a few years ago he was sharing time between the Dbacks and Cubs. Then he called his ex wife a dingbat on air and was otherwise not positively received, but I never heard anything about Marquee cutting ties with him. Of course they may have just quietly not renewed his contact.
  10. Irrelevant Dude
    Is Mark Grace no longer employed by Marquee?

    And the 4 Cubs home runs came from 6-7-8-9.

    Unfortunately I suspect Rivas will be heading back to Iowa soon. I like him a lot and would like to see him get an extended opportunity, but right now he is taking too many pitches and striking out too much.
  13. Irrelevant Dude
    The better question is how is Ortega a better option to pinch hit than Rivas? Especially when Rivas is going to have to come in to play 1B anyway. I guess it doesn't matter when the pitchers can't throw strikes.

    The entire team being bad offensively has taken the attention away from how terrible Heyward still is. But considering there are no other options, what else can you do except continue to run him out there?

    Which I'm unable to get right now. "There was an error. Please try later." And on top of that, Apple TV doesn't even have an app on Android devices. And they want people to pay for the service in the future? This is annoying.

    Trade Happ and pay Willson. There's no reason he can't continue to put up good numbers for another 4-5 years, especially managing his catching workload with DH starts.
  18. Irrelevant Dude
    Sutcliffe is annoying, but I can take him in small doses. If it's just the San Diego series and then JD comes back, I can live with that.
  19. Irrelevant Dude
    Cameraman was in on it too. I thought the ball was 10 rows deep.
  20. Irrelevant Dude
    That was a fun interview with Kyle. I don't know that I've ever seen him be so comfortable in an interview. Maybe that's what an outstanding performance the night before will do for you.

    "At least" being the key qualifier here. There seems to be an assumption that the next Cubs core already exists and is just a few years away, but there is no guarantee of their current prospects materializing into anything. There are a lot of intriguing prospects in the system, but certainly no sure things. If the only realistic path to building a winning team is to start with a core of young, team-controlled players, and if the Cubs current group of prospects doesn't develop into that core, then we're in for an extremely long period of mediocrity. With Happ being one of the few players on the major league roster who can bring talent to supplement the current prospect pool, trading him should absolutely be on the table, and sooner than later.
  22. Irrelevant Dude
    It's different here.
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    And Hermosillo. And Ortega. Suddenly Heyward doesn't look so bad (narrator: "He still looks bad").
  24. Irrelevant Dude
    How many picks are drawn? At least it gives us a chance at number 1 if the Reds keep up their pace. They haven’t played us yet though so there’s time flip us in the standings I have to think the lottery has just as much chance of helping the Cubs than hurting them. As bad as they are, there are multiple other teams that are worse.

    Awful at bat by Suzuki.
