    Look at what part of the order was due up. That should tell you a story.

    I'm pretty sure that happened when he hit the base. That step looked awkward.

    Ah, yes, the guy who's traded for the biggest bat moved the last 2 deadlines. You guys are idiots.
  4. mul21
    Maybe stop throwing him strikes.

    Rough breaks that inning. 3 pretty hard hit balls all for outs.

    You say so much ridiculous horsefeathers it's pretty hard to tell.

    Well that's certainly a trade you could make. Weird.

    They have the 3rd best record in baseball. Put your doom boner away.

    Don't you get to keep them as long as you keep getting them right?

    What do I win?

    HOF barrier is around 60 WAR. He's at 43.5 and even if you tack on 5 for things that weren't accounted for back then with regard to baserunning, he's still well short. Hall of very good, no doubt, but not really HOF worthy.

    Sure, but I doubt that number has changed with the carriage being negotiated so recently. Maybe there was a built in escalator after the first season or something, but this strikes me as either Comcast just doing it because they want more money or don't want to bother with carrying it going forward and the higher tier will drop subscriptions enough that they can get out of the deal.

    They suck but I think your anger is misdirected here. This is a Comcast decision, not a Marquee decision.

    You're delusional if you think they'll ever sign a truly great player without paying too much in free agency. It's just a fact of life and you know what? The douche bag owners can and should afford it if they really want to field a competitive team year in and year out.

    I haven't waded through the whole thread so don't know if it was mentioned but I think it's worth keeping an eye on whether or not Boyd can locate his FB in his next couple starts. That was 100% of the issue tonight. He was yanking it inside to righties and the HR Vaughn hit was supposed to be on the outside corner and he pulled it middle middle. Hopefully it was just a blip and not a fatigue thing that has to be handled carefully.

    Man, I knew it was coming and it still hit me like a ton of bricks. My first sports hero. I turned 8 the summer of ‘84 and that team really set the bar high for my expectations as a Cubs fan. RIP and fúck cancer.

    Lou Brock probably shouldn't be either even if you give him a little extra for baserunning that WAR can't really account for back that far.
  19. mul21
    Also in his favor is that I'm of a mind he was pitching hurt in some way in the last 1/3 to 1/2 of his innings last season and that's at least a contributor to why he was so much worse than usual during that timeframe.
  20. mul21
    I don't think you can if you're serious about making a playoff run this season. He's light years better defensively than anyone else they have to play at 3B and the offense isn't going to be what it's been since the break, but I don't think a .750+ OPS the rest of the way is out of the question.
  21. mul21
    This is where I am. The likelihood you get someone markedly better, especially when you factor in the seeming budget restraints from ownership, seem pretty small and the chances of ending up with someone markedly worse are much higher. I'm no Jed sycophant, but I think he's done a respectable job since taking over and the arrow is pointing up, so I'm absolutely fine with this.
  22. mul21
    I'd bet on on 2 starters, pushing Horton, Brown, and Rea to the pen (rotation is Boyd, Shota, Taillon, 2 new guys) and one RH hitting utility player that can spell the OF and 1B. That gives you a lot more velocity in the pen once Horton and Brown are there and gives you some playoff options for length as well.
  23. mul21
    He's already up to 3 innings in rehab starts so this is way off base.
  24. mul21
    Let's slow down there a little bit. He's been solid for the Cubs, no doubt, but the way he's stranded runners probably isn't sustainable so he's due for some regression there. We also haven't seen how he comes back from the myriad injuries he's had since the middle of last season, so he's no guarantee from that standpoint either.
  25. mul21
    The biggest difference for me is the home runs. Assad is at 1.1/9 and Rea at 1.7/9 for their careers and that matters a decent amount.
