  1. Ohtani is a special case. He creates revenue streams that Soto does not.
  2. I feel bad for Wesneski. He looks good in flashes and then falls apart. This entire season is just bizarre, though. I almost want to see SF sweep because it makes no sense.
  3. Taillon - 2.90 ERA Imanaga - 2.96 ERA Assad - 3.04 ERA Steele - 3.08 ERA If you had told me before the season that Steele would rank 4th amongst Cubs starters in ERA at 3.08, I would have guessed a 100-win pace at minimum. I know offense is down, but this horrsefeathers is crazy.
  4. So many guys knocking on the door.
  5. Luzardo has been the guy I've wanted for a few years now. It's all there.
  6. Busch is now tops in the NL central in OPS and wRC+.
  7. I think that was a Super Nintendo game.
  8. Yeah, Busch went through a Swanson-esque slump there. I find it almost more encouraging for his development that he went through that and seems to have adjusted.
  9. PCA has looked as bad at the plate as I can remember anyone looking. Swing and miss at spin and velocity, and in every possible zone. Really rooting for him to develop some kind of value at the plate, because the defense is spectacular.
  10. Michael Busch has the 2nd highest OPS in the NL Central.
  11. Busch is our only hope here. Feel like Helsley is probably going to mow right through them.
  12. Ballesteros added a single. Considering the SL run environment, what he's doing is very exciting. OPS up to .868. Feel like that # would actually go up if he got bumped to the PCL.
  13. Tauchman is 10th in the NL in OBP.
  14. At first I was annoyed at this forum's recent paradigm shift toward the old Cubs.com format of incessant whining about what amounts to standard issue variance, but now I'm starting to enjoy it. A bit of nostalgia. That said, I'm not beyond being frustrated by my team looking like horsefeathers.
  15. What exactly were everyone's expectations for Busch? He's a rookie with a 121 wRC+ on pace for about 3 WAR. There's a pretty decent chance he can improve on this, and he makes 740k.
  16. I can't read the BA list, but Law having Emmanuel Rodriguez at 28 means he's sound asleep, imo. That kid is on another level.
  17. I suppose the sequencing was the most frustrating part. The slight difference in contact quality just added a bit of salt.
  18. This horsefeathers game. Morel squared up the ball last inning, with risp and was rewarded with a DP, Wisdom and Happ rolled over this inning and both snuck through.
  19. He made one mistake. He's incredibly good, just has to learn to bury that pitch 0-2.
  20. Busch's batted ball data is right there with Alonso, except he's younger and cheaper. Morel's batted ball data is superior, and he's also much younger and much cheaper. There a pretty good chance that they are both better hitters than Alonso moving forward. Why trade assets for that?
  21. Matt Shaw seems to be right again, which is good news. Wonder if he made an adjustment or if he was playing through a nagging injury or if it's just variance.
  22. Gomes himself looks like he knows his career is coming to an end.
  23. Velo was down, breaking pitches hanging and the game is in reach.
