  1. "He's got room..........and it's gone!" 🤣
  2. I'll be mildly shocked if it's not Morel.
  3. It used to just be called transactions and was a catch all for everything, especially useful around the trade deadline. I think that's the way to go.
  4. While I hate the bad umpiring, I love that it screwed the Cards and the Sox proceeded to take 2 of 3 from them this weekend.
  5. I have zero interest in relievers who can't throw strikes. We have plenty of those already and the pitch lab hasn't figured out how to fix that problem yet.
  6. I was very concerned about PCA until he hit that home run to get his first hit because he just looked antsy and lost at the plate, but he's been so much more comfortable since then that I think he really has that star potential. I'm not saying he doesn't have flaws and isn't going to struggle a bit, but i really think his ceiling is incredibly high and I would hate to trade that for a relief pitcher, even if it is a 100 mph throwing closer.
  7. Are you thinking this is an organizational/strategy thing or that guns are slow?
  8. That 101 on the black pitch is about as filthy as it gets. That had Maddux like movement and was 7-8 mph faster than he ever threw that pitch. If he can throw strikes consistently, that's a terrifying weapon at the back of the pen.
  9. Looks like @Southpaw19 is up today if I can read (always questionable by Friday).
  10. Sure, but 6 hits doesn't say soft contact to me. He also only threw 70 pitches and gave up hits to the last 2 guys he faced. Color me skeptical.
  11. 6 hits even with the 7 Ks tells me he's still not fooling anyone.
  12. This ump has been trash both ways today.
  13. The Cubs currently have 17.1 bWAR (from 2023) on the IL and are basically tied for first place. It certainly hasn't been pretty but the record with that much production sidelined is pretty impressive.
  14. I just said the exact same thing to a buddy.
  15. Man, if Morel can get back on track a bit the offense looks very different. That was a bomb.
  16. Solid work from Brown so far. Anybody have any idea if he's on a particular pitch count or innings limit?
  17. The Tom thing is just using weird ass language to make a point way more complicated than if you just used plain English so everyone understands what you're trying to say.
  18. Can we not Tom up everything? It took me 2 minutes to figure out who you were talking about.
  19. I was watching. Nothing weird and looked like that was the plan. Not great but it's a first rehab start so I'm not worried about it at this point.
  20. I feel like most people backed off that sentiment when the contract was 3 years instead of 2 because of the fear that exactly this would happen. That contract ended up being a higher AAV than expected too didn't it?
  21. This was going to be my suggestion. Seems like posting a link to the article in the active discussion and then the main post would be in the "Front Page News" section or whatever it's called that some (but not all?) articles end up in eventually. On that note, why do articles that get posted in Cubs Discussions also appear in the Front Page News section and marked as unread for me even though I read them when they were originally posted?
  22. Looks like he went on the IL on 4/7 so he's not eligible to return until June 6th if my math is right.
  23. Especially when you factor in how bad that part of the team was last year.
