    Your inability to grasp the fact that the chasm between AAA and MLB is larger right now than ever before and there are essentially zero prospects who come up and succeed immediately anymore. It doesn't mean people are "prospect nut huggers" as you so eloquently say, it means the level of patience required for hitters to develop into quality MLB hitters is much greater than it was even 5 years ago. Guys like Horton, Skenes, and Chase Burns just aren't spending time in AAA for hitters to see that quality of pitching and make that jump to MLB easier. Nobody is saying Shaw is going to hit like PCA, they're saying he's likely to be a lot better than he's been so far once that adjustment fully happens.

    Nope, just one big break away from being one of the rich guys pissing on everyone else.

    This is utter horsefeathers and easily provably false. Please stop with the right wing propaganda. It's no more dangerous than any other major city. I live 20 minutes from Busch and got to games there and at Energizer Park for soccer on a very regular basis and have had zero issues in 20+ years living here.

    I don't see a great place to drop this, but on Wicks, is it possible they're setting him up to start on Thursday this week and that's why he was pulled at 40 pitches last night? That would put him between Rea and Horton to split him up from Shota and Boyd so teams aren't getting a similar look from lefties 3 days in a row. As the rotation was, if he took Taillon's spot, they would have been lined up to go 3 days in a row.

    I wonder if that had anything to do with Woodford exercising his out clause.

    Man, the people jumping off the Horton bandwagon after one bad start is pretty wild. The kid didn't have his best stuff and got victimized by that stupid short porch in Houston.

    For the Cubs series the heat was definitely a factor. I had opportunities to go to 2 games of the series and skipped both because it was just awful out. As TT said though, I was at a Royals game earlier and it was sparse on an absolutely beautiful night to be at a game. The fans are pissed and I don't think they're coming back until Mozeliak is gone. He's just such a condescending prick in interviews that I honestly don't blame their fanbase for being done with him.

    He's an investor in the Suns and his brother is the de facto owner. He'll be the de facto owner of the Sox and his brother is an investor. Weird set up but definitely precludes them from having an ownership interest in the Bulls.

    I voted Boyd. He's #13 in ERA and he's 1/3 of an inning from being top 30 in innings pitched. He's gone 6+ in 11/16 starts, only 2 of those 5 since April and one of them was Seattle when he came out because of injury. He's been an absolute rock in the rotation with Steele and Shota down.

    4 pitch walk is a bad way to start, Brad.
  12. mul21
    As expected, Fulmer DFA to make room for Shota.

    They've also been incredibly fortunate health wise. McGreevy has taken some spot starts to mostly keep their regular starters on a 5 day rest pattern but outside of that, those 5 guys have started every game. A rotation injury would really hurt them.
  14. mul21
    Why are we comparing him to Taillon when he'd be replacing Rea in the rotation, who has a 4.35 xFIP and a 5.23 xERA?

    I don't know if today was typical of what Little has been doing of late, but he threw too many non-competitive pitches. A walk and was 3-1 on the next guy before he got him to pop out. I will say the camera angle in Iowa makes it a bit difficult to really get a good look at where pitches are so that may have affected my perspective a bit.
  16. mul21
    Caissie has 4 walks on the day. Ballesteros just got a hit and was the last Cub to get a hit today.
  17. mul21
    I said PCA would have caught it if he was in LF, but that's a pretty high defensive bar to clear. I don't think there's many guys who make that play, especially because that ball just kept carrying even though it didn't appear to be all that well struck off the bat.

    A. Stop trying to replace Hoerner with garbage from other teams. B. What evidence suggests Swanson will need to be moved off of SS?
  19. mul21
    These things may all be true but the pop ups and other garbage on the Fangraphs website makes it a real pain in the ass to use. Therefore, i declare bWAR to be better. 🤣

    Way to completely change the argument you originally made from "we don't need you opinions" to "this isn't a climate change forum". Pretty typical from those who don't really have a leg to stand on in their argument.

    Liberatore hasn't been good against an actual major league team since late May, so hopefully the Cubs can join in on the fun. I was at that KC game and he got torched.
  22. mul21
    Has to be a 3 day audition for the rest of the league right? I have to imagine he's gone as soon as Shota is activated on Thursday.
  23. mul21
    It really sounds like the noise is about Alcantara and he's been better of late, so I tend to believe something with him may be getting close.
  24. mul21
    Levine seems to be convinced they're going to jump the market for a pitcher, possibly even this week. He doesn't usually come out with something that strong without some smoke so I'd bet there's something to it.
  25. mul21
    He very clearly and concisely cited his sources for everything he wrote. You don't seem to understand the difference between opinion and fact.
