    Yes, that is indeed a laundry list of reasons and excuses sort of hovering around why they continue to slide. Akin to your invitation to meatball, if you want to go with the "everything is fine; minimal changes in their approach to team building and player development need to be made," then have at it. I'll be mildly stunned if it results in a season better than this one. I think going forward someone like Lindor is both more valuable than Bryant, and is more likely be be signed by the Cubs (and to be able to be signed by the Cubs in the first place). It's obviously a pipe dream, make a wish type of scenario, but it's certainly not suggestion just trying to "shake up the team," or to blow it up.

    Most of the rankings seem to still have the Cubs' system in the bottom 10 or even the bottom 5.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    Yes, that is certainly one way to describe a thing. Returning with the same shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic approach that just leads to diminishing returns with a team clearly not build to hold up over the course of an season on top of a cruddy farm system is another. I don't see how they could skip getting creative and not just expect to see yet another steadily declining variation of what we've gotten for 3 years running now (he says, fully anticipating yet another "BUT THEY MADE THE PLAYOFFS" response that completely glosses over how increasingly bad they look in the second half yet again, where the all too likely best case scenario is that they, also yet again, technically stagger across the finish line before another quick exit).

    What a stupid game.

    Mmmm, look at that tasty offense.

    Oh, sweet; we get to see Joe go complete HAM on the bullpen like he always does because these horsefeathering dumb dildos couldn't hold a 10-1 blowout. The window is technically only still open if someone hurls a brick through it.

    Took them 1 game last road trip and 1.5 this road trip but #roadcubs always shows up eventually They had to play catch up after getting hammered at home for once. Flying hungover is a beast.

    ROAD COBS ENGAGED.

    Nope Gameday went back and changed the first one to a challenged double or something? Oh well; run still scored on the real dong that happened next.

    Well, that seems to have been an impressive meltdown.

    Did Hendricks seriously just give up 3 dongs in a row?
  16. Sammy Sofa
    It doesn't have to be Bryant, but I agree with the sentiment that the FO are going to have to move someone key, because simply coming back with basically the same team that's been delivering diminishing results on the back of a decidedly unpalatable combination of expecting raw talent to overcome dumb baseball is....not good. Guys like Russell, Happy, Bote, Caratini, Heyward and Almora are going to get you a whole lot of jack and horsefeathers. This FO is supposed to be some kind of brain trust, and they've backed themselves into the position where they need to get creative and actually finally live up to that rep again.

    lol, wut? Unless I missed someone, anyone talking about Bryant and the Indians have been talking about moving the return from trading Bryant elsewhere to the Indians.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Nobody was suggesting trading Bryant to the Indians. And the Indians have all but flat out said they're not going to pay big money to extend their current core.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    It is a pretty big jump to essentially assume that's what he is going forward. 4-5 fWAR player would be, IMO, a safer bet.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Nothing the Cubs do will win THIS idiot.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    How can anyone here think the org is going to make any kind of real effort to sign him when he becomes a FA? You have to be REALLY confident in the idea that the Cubs' current window isn't already just held open a very rickety popsicle stick to be basically endorsing that the Cubs hold on to him for 2 years and then only settle for a comp pick (I think?) when he leaves. Plus we're talking about fantasy ideas of using the return for Bryant to turn around and get someone like Lindor, and not just shipping him off for another damn tank-rebuild.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, I had my earlier "Trade Rizzo for a couple of baller prospects, and then flip those baller prospects plus whatever is needed in house to get Lindor" idea, but Bryant makes that much more likely to pull off. Lindor is both infinitely more awesome, and it seems like it would be a much easier to sell extensions to him and Baez. Let Bryant take his squints so damn much he looks like he's on the verge of tears in nearly every AB-face somewhere else.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    I am more than cool with it. Beyond my meatball-y dislike of how lame he is, I think he's the perfect storm of how there's essentially zero chance he'll look to re-sign ahead of time, and he's currently playing for an organization that has zero organization in spending what it would cost to keep him (which, IMO, will be too damn much for whoever signs him since I think his nebulous shoulder issues will have him planted in the MLB equivalent of the not quite max deal guys who get max deals just by default). TRADE AWAY, BABY.

    She's actually saying "Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu."
