  1. Cubs average ticket price is what…in the top 5? It’ll be a slap in the face to the season ticket holders if they don’t spend big in the off-season. What a shitty product on the field
  2. Burnes on the bump tonight. I predict 15K’s SCHNI-KIES!! I’m goin to buy a lottery ticket
  3. Burnes on the bump tonight. I predict 15K’s
  4. OK, my comment may have been a tad bit overzealous but it just doesn’t sound good over the radio.
  5. Steele getting RAWKED!! Not a good showing, only 2nd time through the order.
  6. You’re getting a significant prospect(s) with taking Hosmer back and also maybe getting the Padres to pay it down a bit. He also only has $59 million left over the next 4 years starting in 2022. $20 mil next year and $13 a year the 3 years after. I horsefeathering hate Hosmer and think his game sucks but I’m still doing a Hosmer + prospect(s) deal with $59 mil contact at most over bringing Rizzo back at more money. In this scenario, sign me up. With the financial flexibility the Cubs will have, the Padres won’t have to pay anything as long as the level of prospects increases
  7. Presumably Hosmer comes with Hassell in his deal. Gotcha
  8. For Hosmer, he’s got 4 years left at $18M AAV $72M remaining for ages 32-35 For Rizzo, he starts 2022 at 32. Rizzo has more power and looks to have overall better historical numbers. Why not just re-sign Rizzo to a similar deal?
  9. Or, like actual major league hitters Seeing that the Cubs system was to produce waves and waves of talent failed at producing players with high contact rate - I’d take another team’s player evaluation over the Cubs any day. If that means Madrigal - so be it
  10. Cubs struck 45 times in the series. I’d say they need some contact hitters like Madrigal.
  11. I can’t wait for this season to be over so we can move forward with the off-season moves.
  12. Where does Howard project to play - SS still? Who’s the better prospect at this point -Howard or Made?
  13. 13-4, 3.71 through early August is not a stretch He's 45th in the NL in pitching fWAR, has given up the third most HRs in the league, plays for a team that very publicly announced they wanted to be irrelevant the rest of the season, and per Fanduel is +15000, or 150/1, to win it. I think 'stretch' is being exceedingly generous. So you’re saying there’s a chance?? He’s gotta thread the needle the rest of the way and I don’t see it happening.
  14. Yeah, he wasn't. Tied for the NL lead in wins though, with a (very) outside chance at 20 wins in theory. Just let him pitch as much as he wants to the rest of the year. 13-4, 3.71 through early August is not a stretch
  15. …for the remainder of his contract
  16. Poor Hendricks. He was in the Cy Young mix but those will be dashed with the Cub lineups for the remainder of the year
  17. Jeds not long for this world, he’s gonna get chewed up and spit out - a combo of Ricketts and the fans putting the screws to him.
  18. Tony 2 Chains won’t get a guaranteed deal higher than 3 years in FA. He’s pissed he didn’t sign the purported 5 year$70M deal he was offered.
  19. The Cubs dodged a bullet with Rizzo and Baez turning down the extensions. Bryant’s gonna get a surprise with the low offers he’s gonna receive.
  20. Marquez already made his big league debut last season. I don’t know where the hell ive been.
  21. 23 WAR in 5 years with Atl. 9.5 WAR in 6.5 years with the Cubs. He’s the best example of why owners don’t want to hand out large contracts. He sucks.
  22. What’s going on with Marquez? Did I see he was hurt or something? Can we expect him to make his ML debut in September?
