    Guess we'll see him Monday.
  2. KingCubsFan
    It looked like he was limping a bit walking off the mound. Hopefully it's a leg issue.
  3. KingCubsFan
    hope youre right Has it been determined whether Jesse Rogers was correct that a play-in game at the end of the season would extend the "season" for service time purposes? Because if so, there's no way he comes up on Friday.

    Wasn't that the AB where he whiffed on two straight meatballs before hitting the third one out? The result was great, but the AB wasn't exactly stellar.

    Somewhere, Kris Bryant is smiling.
  7. KingCubsFan
    If Schlitter gets in this series, he's going to give up at least 5 runs.
  8. KingCubsFan
    That's a really good lineup.

    Pretty much sums it up: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/finding-the-padres-a-shortstop/
  10. KingCubsFan
    That's the ideal lineup.

    I thought overall the team did a good job of seeing pitches. Not every pitcher is going to be like Wainwright and be able to drop 3-2 breaking balls on the corner consistently, so the patience will eventually lead to good things.

    In 2021 this will all be water under the bridge. He will hopefully have two or three WS rings and love Chicago, but yes his contract will be very high but I don't think this will play any part of if he resigns with the Cubs or goes to the Yankees. You could be right, but some people dont forget, at the very least Boras wont forget. When he becomes a free agent, he'll be going to the highest bidder, no matter what. And it probably won't be the Cubs if Theo is still around. You did this just to troll me, right? Pretty much. Although I do think that if he becomes a free agent and gets offered a 12 year deal or something similar, Theo would walk away.

    That's 100% false. Service time is based on time spent in the majors. Whether Bryant signed the day of the draft or when he did is immaterial, he was being held down regardless so the Cubs could own his rights in 2021. My confusion stems from players seemingly having different dates to be called up to the majors. I don't recall many players only having to be held out for 2 weeks. I mostly recall players having to wait until May. Maybe those players got called up in September of the previous year, while Bryant did not? In addition to that, there are guys who are held down til May-June in an attempt to avoid Super 2, which allows you to only have arbitration for 3 years. Bryant(assuming he is called up in late April will have 3 years auto-renewal and 4 years of arbitration. If held down til June, he'd have 4 years auto-renewal, 3 years of arbitration. ETA: Kerry Wood is the only Cub example I can think of held down for an extra year, and he made his debut on the 13th day of the season. I feel like it gets ignored more with pitchers. The White Sox are doing the same thing to Rodon, and the media has barely noticed.

    Mid 3's ERA until July when he gets traded with Baez for Hamels.
  16. KingCubsFan
    It is kind of strange that they would come out so strongly, considering Bryant will end up taking the job of one of their current members.
  17. KingCubsFan
    Keith Law said it would probably take about 1,000 AB in the majors for Baez to get comfortable, and I think that's probably right. Not sure if the Cubs will give him that long of a leash though.
  18. KingCubsFan
    Not sure why it would. Bryant is going to get the most attention no matter what. The Baez decision was pretty easy. Baez was scuffling, and the Cubs have two legitimate starters (for the time being) in La Stella and Alcantara. Best case scenario is that Javy tears it up in AAA and the Cubs get an extra year of control.

    Ha, that's while things were going really good. Could it be they got caught as a result of opening up their books (as part of the lawsuit)? Brett said this was the guy who got sued by banks a few years back for defaulting on his loans. So I'd assume that's when the books were opened up.
  20. KingCubsFan
    Pretty sure that Hoyer participated
  21. KingCubsFan
    If he doesn't strike out, I consider it a successful at bat.
  22. KingCubsFan
    Our long nightmare is over.

    Cutler is a 'first class douche.' I'd think Kaep is more of a 'second class douche.' #progress Cutler is not a douche at all, anti-vaxxer wife aside. He's a [expletive] bad ass. Kaepernick is, in fact, a douche, however. jay himself is an anti-vaxxer. they're his kids too. so he can't disagree with something (not saying he does - we don't really know how he feels about it) while still letting his wife make a choice she (stupidly) feels strongly about? if jay took the kids to the doctor and got them shots anyway is kristin no longer an anti-vaxxer? Are you really trying to defend him on this? Either he's an anti-vaxxer or he doesn't give a [expletive] if his kids are put at risk for preventable diseases. It's horrible either way.

    Cubs sign Phil Coke to a minor league deal.
  25. KingCubsFan
    Russell should put on some weight, move to 3B and become the next David Wright.
