  1. I don't think it's really fair to judge chemistry after only a handful of games together.
  2. Imagine this offense if 3B wasn't a black hole.
  3. I know nobody slides feet first anymore, but if the runner slides hard with his spikes into the blocking leg, I bet the 3B doesn't do that next time.
  4. Taking the bat out of PCA's hands there probably not the wisest choice.
  5. The Dodgers are going to be having nightmares about that left field basket.
  6. The crazy thing is, Gage Workman DH'ing in the 3 hole would have been a much better option.
  7. Great protection there for one of the best hitters in baseball.
  8. Who could have seen this coming? Hint: The answer is everyone but Jed.
  9. It's time to drop Dansby. Put either the Catcher or PCA in the 5 spot. Dansby shouldn't hit higher than 7th or 8th.
  10. Local sports radio shows have really disappeared. I turned The Score on today following the Cubs game. There was a short post-game show and then they went straight to a syndicated sports betting show. Is there really not a market for an extended post-game show or other local coverage on a Saturday afternoon? Who is listening to generic national coverage from BetMGM (or whatever it was that sponsored it)? Or are they so focused on pinching pennies that the can't afford to pay a couple guys to sit in a studio for a few hours?
  11. From ChatGPT: So did Steele have a repair or a revision?
  12. The Cubs used 4 players in the #9 spot today. All of them either third baseman or pinch hitters for third baseman. That seems... inefficient at best?
  13. And even more on Giddey's inevitable albatross of a contract.
  14. That's the biggest problem. Jed has been awful at his approach to building a bullpen, but that wouldn't be such a big deal if they were getting production out of their minor league system. But they have developed VERY few guys who aren't just fringe MLB/Iowa shuttle type relievers.
  15. Is Justin Turner really the best PH option? It's also a problem that you have to pinch hit for your light hitting 3B with another light hitting 3B, then replace him with a pinch runner if he gets on base, or a defensive replacement otherwise.
  16. That sounds.... really bad. He has to be getting close to calling it quits. His back isn't going to get any better and he can't even make it through a few weeks of the season, all while not being able to perform even when he is on the field.
