    I love stuff like this. Apparently on Sunday night, the Diaz brothers both gave up walk off homers. No idea if that's ever happened before but the fact that first time things are still happening in a 150 year old game is wild.

    I'm gonna derail us for a minute here. I'm going to DC Saturday for the games Saturday and Sunday. There's currently an 80% chance of rain for Saturday afternoon and evening with a 4:00 start planned. Say it rains and they don't get the game in Saturday. Are they playing 2 on Sunday and what time does game 1 start if so?

    Zero with that salary. Maybe once he clears waivers and they wouldn't be on the hook for the remainder of the $5 million.

    I'd bet this pushes Walker inside more frequently and shores up the DT depth that way.

    Reminds me of Jason Bere. Build is similar and he had a little bit of a weird arm action.

    If they can go 7-2 or better in the next 9 against the Marlins, Pirates, and Nationals, I'll believe they have a chance. That would put them at 70-67 with 25 games to go and at that point 16-9 isn't an unfathomable thought to finish the year.

    He made $750K last year and is slated to make $795K this year. That doesn't excuse the owners making him pay that much, but it's not like he can't afford it.

    I think it's much more tied to wanting to get a look at Neely against ML hitters to find out what you have for next year or if there are adjustments he needs to make. The 40/26 man roster spot had to be a consideration, especially when you're looking at maybe guys like Birdsell and Killian needing innings to finish the year with the Cubs.

    No, he would have had to have been claimed off waivers. If he signs somewhere they pay the prorated portion of league minimum for the rest of the year, so the Cubs get maybe $150K of relief at best.

    Isn't his velocity down noticeably this year? Feels like it would be a bad investment regardless.
  12. mul21
    Let's see where they are in 2 weeks. They've already taken a beating this month and it's not letting up yet.

    Radio broadcast said Happ's was the longest Cub HR of the year.
  14. mul21
    Yep, out to center.
  15. mul21
    Stick him in the rotation in place of Hendricks.
  16. mul21
    He's one of Tom's pets and that's really it.

    This ESPN top 100 is, uh, something. Wildly different than anything else we've seen. 37. Moises Ballesteros, C, Chicago Cubs/AAA, Age: 20.7 60. Kevin Alcantara, CF, Chicago Cubs/AAA, Age: 22.1 63. Owen Caissie, RF, Chicago Cubs/AAA, Age: 22.1 74. Matt Shaw, 3B, Chicago Cubs/AAA, Age: 22.8 95. Cade Horton, RHP, Chicago Cubs/AAA, Age: 23.0 99. Jefferson Rojas, SS, Chicago Cubs/High-A, Age: 19.3 https://www.espn.com/mlb/insider/story/_/id/40846519/2024-midseason-top-100-mlb-prospects-rankings-update-kiley-mcdaniel

    How many other teams have guys at 24 like Birdsell who have an actual real shot at being an MLB contributor? That seems really far back in that list for a guy with his potential.
  19. mul21
    Right, but what he's saying is the original injury report was in fact a lat strain so until we get confirmation from the Cubs, the subscapularis report is just conjecture and that's a reasonable take here.
  20. mul21
    Can we just restrict Tom to the minor league forum and improve everyone's experience vastly in the process?
  21. mul21
    Based on this injury (subscapularis) and how it functions in the shoulder, it's not out of the question to think surgery is on the horizon. Now, if it's truly just the muscle and there's not tendon/ligament damage involved, then yeah, it's probably likely he can avoid going under the knife. Unfortunately, based on how the rotator cuff works, I'm not real optimistic it's just muscular.
  22. mul21
    You were saying? They looked real bad for a long stretch there though.
  23. mul21
    You've been told the same thing by multiple people now. Maybe you're the problem here.
  24. mul21
    Are you a woman? No? Then you should stop using that term. It's disrespectful at best and offensive at worst.
  25. mul21
    I used to hate him but he's grown up a lot and would probably actually do a pretty solid job. I mean, nothing is going to extinguish that dumpster fire until Jerry and TLR are out of the picture, but you could do a lot worse than AJ.
