    What? He's a pedigreed, 24-year-old middle infielder with excellent defense and a .388 OBP this year. That is most definitely worth something

    It's been bumpy for Herz but his last 2 starts- 9.1 IP 4H 2R 3BB 16K His last 7 - 29.1 18H 9 ER 16BB 45K Still a good WHIP even with that walk rate

    There is no way they're flipping Madrigal into something else. They've gone on for too long about needing more contact, and they added the most contact-oriented hitter in the game. It's so frustrating to me because a contact guy like Castellanos, who, again, wanted to continue playing for the Cubs and who had the ability to actually hit the ball hard, was shown the door. Every issue this team had this season was easily addressed by simply keeping players that were already here. Hoerner got hurt, but his profile + Castellanos would have gone a long way toward mitigating those issues. Darvish, of course. Schwarber instead of Pederson. The front office created this mess, and now we're back to 2011.

    It's fine by me for anyone to feel this way, but the way I look at it, the Cubs won the WS and I'm mostly cool with whatever so long as A) I like the players I'm rooting for and B) that's it. Of course, winning makes me like players, but Javy had a lifetime pass no matter how many Ls the Cubs racked up, or swinging Ks he committed. I was pissed when we traded Yu, but now I'm just unteathered. This exactly.

    I'm just pissed off.
  6. muntjack
    yes, because baez/bryant/rizzo are all comparable to perhaps the best relief pitcher of all time We literally just traded the best closer of all time today.
  7. muntjack
    He was an 8th round pick who had thrown 16 innings prior to this year. Ridiculous numbers but no track record. I think he was the target here.

    I find it fascinating to see all of the "we were never going to get much for 2 months of (insert cub here). I remember very clearly what we gave up for Chapman.
  9. muntjack
    For the giants #13 prospect (fangraphs) and an SP in AA who is not on their top 30 (admittedly, this is the first year of real innings for him, and he's been outstanding)
  10. muntjack
    Yeah, my all-time favorite baseball player. My son's as well. Baez should have been here his entire career. Don't care about his flaws. At all.
  11. muntjack
    Mad, don't care
  12. muntjack
    Not a fan. Guess they're really serious about contact > power.
  13. muntjack
    Underwhelming, certainly
  14. muntjack
    I hate that my day got better because of this but, well, there it is.
  15. muntjack
    It's been ugly for sure but he was fantastic last year and very good in 2019.
  16. muntjack
    On Brennan Davis: "often citing the odd hours he kept taking care of a goat" New favorite organizational player. Goat-herders perhaps the new market inefficiency.
  17. muntjack
    Cubs did essentially the same thing with Castellanos. A shame they just let him walk, when by all accounts he wanted to stay.
  18. muntjack
    This seemed predictable
  19. muntjack
    Schwarber would have had him, but then again, he would have 5 HR in this game so it wouldn't matter.
  20. muntjack
    It feels like an organizational failure to rely on Sogard/Alcantara/Lobaton/Oretga in that spot, four guys that probably shouldn't have worn Cubs uniforms this year.
  21. muntjack
    What is Sogard good against, again?
  22. muntjack
    Why wasn't Wisdom in to begin with instead of Sogard? Ross is an idiot.
  23. muntjack
    Sogard has barreled the ball 8 times. In his career. For comparison Albert Almora has 27 barrels in fewer PAs. Yet there he is, in the lineup again tonight. Is he a defensive wizard? No. Is he young and projectable? No. Is he vaccinated? No. Why the horsefeathers is he on this team?
  24. muntjack
    Yeah, I love Dame but, being 30, they'd have to get good elsewhere in a hurry. Lavine is already a better shooter and he's still young enough to make another leap. I'd love Simmons and a young, switchable 4, though.
  25. muntjack
    Dude could only throw his straight fastball for a strike so we give him an out and let them go to an elite reliever. Ross is terrible.
