Who is the available 1B, though?
-
That was incredible
-
Sure, in the case of a highly competitive team, a guy needs to hit the ground running. The '23 Cubs, even the version that went into London on a high, should still be keeping one eye on player development, especially for guys with potential game-changing power (which they sorely lack). 99 PAs of good peripherals and bad numbers, with no good alternative knocking at the door, was not enough to pull the plug.
-
Come on, Mervis had 99 PAs. 99. In that meager sample, he had a higher max EV than Rizzo, barreled a considerably higher % of balls (he barreled 2× as many as Madrigal has in his entire career), and had a much higher hard hit %. He wasn't given a real chance at all.

Decisions, decisions... trade deadline 2023
muntjack replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
If you can't get a monster return, Morel needs to stay. That kind of upside is no where else on the roster. Would also prefer to hang on to Alzolay. Building the pen from scratch every season is rough. 28 isn't young but it isn't old, either. -
Morel not even a mention?
-
Hope I'm wrong but this feels like it could get ugly. Walker is on a nice run and the Phillies seem like the wrong kind of lineup for Kyle.
-
I'm going to be pretty irritated if they lose this one.

New Forum Quirks (Let's Learn Together)
muntjack replied to Derwood's topic in North Side Baseball Issues & Suggestions
Not important, but just curious. What are the member titles tied to here? I've been a member of the forum since the very beginning, but I see others are "old-timey" members while I am "verified" -
Well, best case scenario....
-
Really a shame we have nothing better than Madrigal here
-
Wow, I thought that was season-ending for Amaya. The 2nd angle looked terrible.
-
Come the horsefeathers on. This seems like it was so avoidable.
-
Don't understand why Wesneski didn't start the 6th.
-
Lol Morel is a superstar
-
Mervis has 0 to prove in AAA. He hits the ball hard af, has trouble with major league spin and needs time at this level to figure it out. They've basically decided Wisdom is the light side of a platoon, so let Morel play 3rd vs RH with Mervis at 1B and Belli or Tauchman at DH. Fire Mastro and Madrigal into the sun.
-
I know playing match-ups (kind of) worked out last night, but there really is no need to treat this minor-league journeyman like prime Chris Sale. Just put the best lineup out there.
-
Helping get the Pirates starter back on track with the Mastrobuoni/Madrigal/Barnhart 1-2-3 inning. God, that's 2011 bad.
-
I think after all these years, we can safely leave off the "because I'm a dork" qualifier.
-
Time to mow
-
I don't want to mow my lawn so im gonna watch this.
-
Mervis and Morel demolishing balls, a good sign....
-
Tauchman is slugging .318 and has a .419 babip. Get ready for: 1. A precipitous descent. 2. Ross to hang on to him far too long.
-
I know he's struggled, but is there really no room in this lineup for a 23 year-old who is slugging .639?
-
No Morel again, eh? My Stockholm-syndromed, rebuild-brain says it's yet again time to let the kids play and start shopping the vets.
