I'm surprised Yadi didn't charge the mound Molina knows what happens when he gets in the way of a Cubs pitcher.
-
So apparently 90% of the pitching around baseball is trash, except for the 2015 Mets, the 2017 Dodgers, and the Brewers the last 2 seasons. Intriguing theory. -
Dumb would be thinking 1 season cancels out the other 4 where they showed their true tendencies. 2016 was out of the ordinary. I’ll rely on 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2019 to make decisions on who stays and who goes. But go ahead and keep thinking that the same guys will magically be able to hit when it counts :roll: You mean like two of those seasons they made the NLCS, won a WC game, won a division, led MLB in wins, won a Game 5 on the road in the DS and were the best second half team in baseball for a good chunk of those years? No, no; let him drill down on this. I'm dying to know who he wants gone.

Cubs Manager Search (Ross to be hired - Kaplan)
Sammy Sofa replied to Cubswin11's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I think Girardi is too much of an obvious meatball for the FO to stand; Ross manages to dip his toes both in the "let's get someone who is more of a hard ass" gimmick, as well as being someone the fans and players would like. I keep seeing DeRosa's name coming up, but I can't imagine them going after someone who cranks up the goofball public persona to the nth degree right after everyone getting fed up with Maddon's dumb antics for jerks. -
Who should hang their heads more out of RD shame, the Cubs or the Indians?
-
In a far better world they keep neither.
-
Guys, come on; surely there's some merit to this "get rid of most of the team" approach. There's no way it could possibly turn out poorly.

Mookie Betts and David Price Traded to the Dodgers

Fat players are the new market inefficiency. You heard it here first. -

Man, get Chatwood in there or something. Ryan's toast.
-
Any particular reason Hamels was PH for?
-
Eh; he did REALLY suck for a while down in the minors after that. I'm gonna say they made the right call in thinking he still had more to work out down there. But Russell was suspended and Descalso existed, so Happ could have added value at the beginning of the year Well, they weren't expecting Descalso to turn out to be the calamity he ended up being, Bote was hanging around, and they still had Zobrist at that point. Like, super shitty Happ wasn't going to bring any more value than those other guys sucking (well, the ones who didn't mysteriously disappear).

BVE: Big Vic Energy.

Him spending half the year in AAA was Top 3 most puzzling moves of the year Eh; he did REALLY suck for a while down in the minors after that. I'm gonna say they made the right call in thinking he still had more to work out down there.

Happ horsefeathering slaps.
-
[expletive], Hamels has been merciless so far.
-
Man, I am feeling good about seeing a lot more Happ next year.
-
It would be cool if Hamels sends off his Cubs career with a baller outing.
-
Wait, why would it be either/or between Nico and Happ? 2B and CF both need to be filled.
-
If they're going to give Happ more of a shot, isn't he likely to be the one that ends up in CF? Who would be less destructive between him and Nico at CF or 2B?

Mookie Betts and David Price Traded to the Dodgers
Sammy Sofa replied to Cubswin11's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I state again: trade them Theo. -
If you could save $4-7 million it makes sense to move him, especially if that money goes towards a 5th starter and Mills slots in the swing man role. I’d be fine keeping both I think and rolling the dice a bit on the 5th spot with them to start the year. Use the money on rounding out the roster elsewhere. Man, I'm figuring Lester is a problem that needs to be fixed next season, too.
-
50 career innings of mid 3s ERA and FIP baseball, idk if you’ve watched him at all lately but it’s hard not to like what you see when you watch and not at least think there’s a solid BOR starter/swing guy in there with maybe MOR upside. He’s only 27 and won’t cost any money, just gotta guarantee him a 25 man (or I suppose 26 next year) roster spot. Dude's minor league numbers are a snooze the last 3 seasons. Doubt this is little more than tiny sample size based on the book not being out on him.
-
Then why look to move Chatwood? The Cubs aren't exactly swimming with pitching depth.
