  1. Sounds like he took a paycut, too.
  2. Cardinal pixie dust died on a warm October night in 2015.
  3. This is a little dramatic. Like, $100 in damage for a place with a $5,000 security deposit? There's no way in hell that was $51k of damage, even if they had to redo every floor in the house from the dog's acid piss.
  4. I love Cole but think I would rather spend that on Rendon.
  5. What's Cole even going to get in this environment?
  6. There are only 30 manager jobs and if you don't want to disrupt your family by moving from New York, then yes, the Mets job is the perfect job for you.
  7. Luckily there was no mold in St Louis.
  8. Let's horsefeathering go with this team. I'm serious. *Things Almora says to himself before every plate appearance.
  9. Maddon tried *so hard* to lose game 7 Lester was fine. Chapman was not. Ross is really lucky for his legacy that we won that game.
  10. horsefeathers it let’s just get Rendon.
  11. All day interview isn't that uncommon for a senior position in the business world. If you're speaking with a lot of people on the leadership team plus lunch it's not really absurd. Oh I know, I’m more just upset they essentially wasted a full day on Girardi. Sources tell me that they asked him to manage a simulated game and the Cubs were losing 10-2 in the second inning, so took a lot longer than expected.

  13. Good question. Kosuke got 4/$48m, right? I can't imagine that we're talking that much for a 32 year old in our current contract environment.
  14. With that said, #ShogoWeGo so I'm in.
  15. I'm all for a plus-plus speed guy who's a great defender in CF, but I see a lot of GB hits that would probably be outs in MLB in that video.
  16. That would be cool but how is that a low cost offseason? lol
  17. Wow you really hate to see it. You really do.
  18. RIP Tom
  19. If they didn't think he'd provide continuing value they wouldn't have offered him a job and wouldn't have committed to creating the role in the first place. The Cubs clearly wanted this guy and lost out on him to a division rival that also stole the one good pitching mind they had in the organization. It's a loss. Why do you think Boddy went to the Reds over the Cubs?
  20. Oh man, Milwaukee losing on some shitty bad luck and getting snakebit in a huge moment? Ball don’t lie.
  21. Close to being the same hitter in terms of production. Not the same player overall though. wRC+ are similar.
  22. We either got outbid or outsold with a better pitch. The pitching development infrastructure is non existent, I can’t imagine we weren’t willing to give him whatever role he wanted in pitcher development. Whatever role he wanted? No way. Boddy is the kind of guy you bring in to run the pitch lab, and maybe give insight in scouting, mechanics, etc. There’s no way I’m giving him free reign over the entire pitching program.
  23. There’s no way we got *outbid* by the reds. He was likely offered a bigger role that we were not willing to offer.
  24. He’s gonna look great in Cubbie blue next season.
  25. They very publicly and intentionally made Joe a lame duck, so if they are seriously considering Loretta, I doubt they care too much about the association they've created by making him Joe's bench coach for a year. Wouldn't the bold essentially make "seriously considering Loretta" not likely? Yeah, Joe wasn't exactly a lame duck.
