    I'm laughing much harder than I should at a stupid squirrel gif.

    Nope, he's a catcher. If he were in any other org, then yes, he would be a LF/1B/DH. Thing is, we have a 1B, can't have a DH and most likely will need LF for Bryant. It's in our best interest to make him a catcher. Bryant seems to be handling 3B just fine. I'm very slightly concerned about the amount of time he takes to get rid of the ball and the potential for the yips to develop. It's probably irrational, but it's in the back of my mind every time he does that really long pause/wind up to throw it to first.

    I'm not all the way through this yet, but nothing in here about Whitlock has surprised me yet. http://deadspin.com/how-jason-whitlock-is-poisoning-espns-black-grantland-1698683962?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_twitter&utm_source=deadspin_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow

    Pretty bold statement considering what happened five days ago: DATE OPPONENT RESULT IP H R ER HR BB SO 04/22 vs CHC W 4-3 5.2 6 1 0 0 2 5 Yeah, well, they took care of Leake and Desclafani the second time around so I wouldn't be so confident if I was you.

    God, baseball is so much fun when they're good.

    Yeah, I'm not sure if this strategy is some sort of new fangled keep them healthy plan, but it doesn't matter if the pitchers are hurt if you lost too many games before August for it to effing matter. That's twice in the last 4 games Maddon has pulled a pitcher with a PC in the 80s and not struggling and it's burned him.

    mul21 replied to Tim's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    The arguments involving Hendry always forget that he was told to do whatever necessary (spend money, trade prospects, etc) to build a winning team at the ML level. When the Cubs failed in 2010-2011, the minor league assets had been used to stock the ML roster. Theo & CO. took over and traded the ML assets that Hendry left to restock the minors. Obviously 2010-2014 has proven that building "dual fronts" is a hard concept regardless of who is in the FO. Hopefully we will see a contending team at the ML level and a solid ml system for the next 5+ years. That just means he was bad at his job, which was to build a winning team. He may have been told everything you say he was, but he also had a responsibility to not completely ignore the minors and player development. He did ignore it and it resulted in complete crap once veterans got old and there was no one to fill the void.

    It's no Elia, but it's solid (BP is Bryan Price, btw):
  12. mul21
    Welp, they got fucked twice on that play.
  13. mul21
    When during this season has it resulted in RBI by the 9th batter? Like Len is currently saying, this has zero to do with the move. It's about getting more RBI chances for your 1-3 hitters when they come around the next time.
  14. mul21
    Man, he's seen nearly nothing to hit since he came up. They fear the power already.

    I don't think there's anybody else on the roster that can play even a remotely ok CF right now either.
  17. mul21
    So who's the back up CF if Alcantara is sent down? Does Salad come back up?
  18. mul21
    You shouldn't be. Velocity was up, location was better today. I think he's nearing end of spring training sharpness now and the next month he'll be really good.
  19. mul21
    Fowler is a really smart player.
  20. mul21
    Rondon, Strop, and Rosscup are not options today, so you're got Schlitter, Coke, Germen, Motte, and Jaxon to get you through the game. None of those are terrific options, and considering the circumstances you'd want to maximize your chance at a double play, which is Schlitter all the way. nope don't argue with the logic fingers guy Likely wouldn't be in this situation if Maddon had left Hendricks in for more than 80 pitches yesterday. Hell, they might have won in 9 and used a whole lot fewer relievers in the process. That was a head scratcher for me yesterday.

    See you guys over in the hockey thread. Ick.
  22. mul21
    Yeah, I'm gonna cut him some slack for not swinging at a 97 mph heater that may or may not have been a strike on the inside corner.
  23. mul21
    Bryant is a lot better than I expected on the bases. He's made a couple really good reads the last 2 days.
  24. mul21
    Pretty great slide by Kemp.
  25. mul21
    I've said man, he's taking a while to myself a couple times now and then he guns the guy by a step or two. Definitely has a big arm.
