I think Luther fills that role
-
Was just watching a little bit of the game and I think Carlson is closer to the plate than Rizzo used 2 be. Mo followed him and was probably a foot further away. I'm guessing that is new for Dylan and maybe attributing to his success. Hard to believe he is only 27.
-
Not all umps had the same zone before - gonna be great to have consistency. I believe more balls will change to strikes than strikes to balls as catchers will be trusted to challenge more and have the best view.
-
How is it changing the shape of the zone? Isn't just getting it correct now?
-
Reduces the amount the team can spend this year - 9 mil for Dalman even though he isn't playing
-
Shelby 2 the 60 day dland Cowles is back again
-
Happ is far from my favorite, but he gets a lot of grief for being a top 10 player at his position every year. Checked his contract to see if he was being paid more than I remembered, but is at 20 mil per year which is fine. I did see that he gets a suite for road games per his contract.
-
He was in the booth for a bit last weekend and said he was doing bullpens twice a week I think around 30 pitches but only fastball in mid 80's and slider. He said he usually would get close to 90 for the last pitch. I don't expect April, but I think May is very possible.
-
Mooney reported on the athletic that Conforto has a 2 mil salary if he ends up in the majors - did not mention if it has time be out of spring training or a specific option out date. He has him projected to make the team along with Carlson. I'd rather see Chas make it over Conforto, but not a hig deal.
-
Thanks - I thought he might be less susceptible with his swing and he seemed to hang in pretty well on his super small sample size in the majors last year.
-
Any minor league info of Mo versus rhp vs lhp?
-
I think Mo would be fine as a short term injury or rest day replacement or for Busch. I don't see him as the everyday 1B or 1st C, but he can help out at either position for short term injuries or rest days.
-
Mo played at least parts of 2 games there last year.
-
Mo can cover 1B for a few games a month
-
Dodgers claimed Suwinski - would have liked the Cubs to have taken a chance on him
-
He is either lazy and/or eating horribly being that overweight as a professional athlete. I'm not expecting PCA or Nico, but getting close to Carson or Busch would be a good target for him.
-
Better shape not a magical transformation. He got himself in much better shape the year before and then was fat again for a baseball player last year. He was still a great hitter, but it hurts his speed and probably his defense.
-
Mo Baller expected at camp today. I'm intrigued to see if he is in better shape than he was at the end of the year.
-
Part of me agrees with you - I hated the cheating asterisks, but Bregman seems to be pretty universally revered for his leadership/character. The Cubs wouldn't have won the world series if they hadn't traded for the POS domestic abuser Chapman so they aren't better than other teams.
-
Agreed - should be 30 seconds. If you can't tell by then it isn't obvious and the call stands.
-
Has to be pitcher catcher or hitter immediately without any input. Sounds like most teams won't have pitchers do challenges.
-
I'd prefer 3 failed challenges and you're out. I like that it has to be challenged immediately and manager/coaches/analysts can't be involved. Worked really well at the ICub game I went to last year.
-
Can the Pitcher shake off the coach? I can't imagine elite pitchers or catchers liking this. Doesn't Boyd call his own?
-
Next weekend at the earliest for Ballesteros to be at camp per Counsell. Hope he is getting work in the meantime and isn't 2 far behind. Is he playing in the WBC?
-
Why jump to Steele being obstinate? Maybe he is ahead of schedule or the Cubs think Cowles has a better chance of getting through waivers now.
