    I'm not remotely gonna go panic mode on this sample size but Lord knows it would fit the Cubs MO to again pay up for a reliever who immediately goes in the tank

    Bryant was a net positive on defense, according to fWAR, each of his first 3 years. That doesn't account for which position he was playing, but his best defensive WAR rating was 2016 - rated slightly higher, in fact, than Lowell did in 2007 - so that year, at least, I think we can assume he was legitimately good at 3B.

    A for effort by Witt in that rundown

    I was about to comment on us blooping these guys to death but then Happ did that. Looks like he's sizzling again

    I happened to have the game on. It was really weird, the umpires at first said because Venable came out the pitcher had to face one more batter then be removed and Stephen Vogt then came out and was basically "uh that's not the rule fellas" and the umps talked it over and then made him leave immediately

    Can we please get him off the roster

    I really don't want to lose 1-0 on a stupid 3rd disengagement balk
  8. Andy
    WTF, Peterson. You can't risk (or forget about, as he apparently did) the 3rd disengagement with a runner at third base

    I don't know when the heck you'd pick it back up if you did it a different day. LA is off tomorrow so you could probably just have a delay if it isn't supposed to last much longer

    Looks like it's raining let's go ahead and call this one

    Webb has been closing and since he only threw 12 pitches yesterday and none the day before I assume he's good
  12. Andy
    That might be the most skin-of-its-teeth basket shot I've ever seen at Wrigley
  13. Andy
    Oh boy

    On a day where everything was going well, here comes Thielbar

    Sammy had 9.9 fWAR that year, PCA gonna rocket past that at this rate
  16. Andy
    He is the goddamn MVP

    A Google search turned up a pretty cool Reddit thread on this. One good answer for the modern game is Cal Ripken Jr. in 1984, 9.8 fWAR and received one piddly 10th-place vote.

    Pete was going to need a day eventually, he might need a full day off at some point, but savvy to keep his bat in the lineup while giving him a break from the field. That's part of the luxury of acquiring a guy like Taylor
  19. Andy
    Notre Dame/USC is back (in week 1, in 2030), so that's nice at least. The preseason coaches poll came out today. AP poll will be out Aug. 17.
  20. Andy
    There are reports, and were before he was traded there, that Skubal wants to sign with LA, though I don't think he's confirmed that (and why would he)
  21. Andy
    1,000 percent. It's pretty ridiculous.
  22. Andy
    Also, something something pitch lab!
  23. Andy
    Yeah, I think there's a good argument that Ballesteros could've been used more judiciously than to acquire a reliever, but if he's a no-defense guy, he needs to be a better hitter than he is to have significant value.

    If you stick to the 'following' tab it's still pretty good for sports updates.
