robert sucks and i can't believe we're wasting time talking about him. no plate discipline and can't stay healthy. No horsefeathers thank you. guys with that profile lose it in an offseason and fall immedialy off a cliff. -
Juan Soto is not signing with the cubs in a billion years.

we have this conversation all the time and it's so overwrought. a good prospect carries some inherent value, but his real value is determined by either what production he provides you, or what someone is willing to give you for him. every single guy in the minors is, at the end of the day, measured in opportunity cost. can he help the team today? Might he in the future? Might we get something for him today in a trade in exchange for someone betting on his future? it's easy to go "we don't need all these OF prospects" or whatever, but if your options are call them up but they don't play, leave them in the minors, or trade them for less than you value them either now or potentially in the future, there's risk with every option. It's not "prospect hoarding" to leave a mid-tier OF prospect in AAA because you can't find a valid trade partner and he's not ready for the majors. It's value hoarding. And there's a risk that the prospect stagnates and loses all value and you get nothing out of him. But that's not inherently more risky than trading him for less than you value him just because he's blocked.

You’ve already been thrown back into the water, brother. Now you can go tell the other bottom feeders about your brief glimpse of a higher dimension.

i know i never take my own advice here, but there's no reason to argue with tom about this. this is like those videos of a guy catching a fish and showing it a youtube video.

you are pro-maduro
-
damn i always knew tom was an idiot, i didn't realize he was a traitor too
-
its fun to read tom in the politics threads and then tom in the baseball threads
-
i love that his shoulders are completely still and he breaks his wrist immediately lol. that's a self taught putting stance if i've ever seen one
-
no idea what's up with that stroke but at least he got the speed right on most of them

i was talking about the insanity of not being horny for shakira

one of the worst takes of all time on nsbb

if coaches don't matter then who cares that gregg is gone, easy come easy go. if they do matter, we should be striving for better.
-
its not
-
Yeah I don’t think that’s it man
-
tom being the worst poster across several message boards over a 20 year span is an impressive feat
-

Steele shows first sign of Cubs fire in 2024

i mean i dont care about whatever the hell that boomer is talking about. i just want to watch players who are ok with showing emotion when they feel like everyone else is half-assing it. -

imb replied to Javy Is Still A Cub's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
i dont think so. this isn't a job in the normal sense, and comparing it to your boss yelling at you because of a spreadsheet doesn't track for me. this is high-level competition, vibes and energy do matter (in my opinion) and sometimes you do need a guy you respect to yell at you for sucking. i dont think it's the difference between the team we see now and them becoming a 90-win playoff team, but i think it matters.
