I'm skeptical. I respect that. Im just positing that the moves that Rick made in that cardinals game last Friday where made on purpose and with the goal of improving the cubs chances to win the game. And because of that, and in my opinion there really isn’t any ambiguity left, he cannot be anything but a bad manager. He actually was quoted after Friday's game saying that one of the bunts (cant remember which one) was made to lower our chance of winning. I think it was some long con he was pulling.
Deckhairs, Titanic, etc. Seems like anyone we put in the pen is going to suck anyway. That said, I agree, get rid of either or both. You're supposed to pluck your deck hairs
Parks said that after seeing Tseng once, while still riding the high from all the twitter love he was getting from cubs fans over his javier baez posts. let's not start sucking our own popsicles yet.
im saying all players have risks. im tired of this mindset that woah we better avoid drafting a pitcher at all costs. Just because a hitter isn't going to need TJS (unless he's sano) doesn't make them a safer bet. It's [expletive] stupid.
We'd be much better taking a hitter at that pick, any hitter. Much like 2007 pick no. 2 mike moustakas or pick no. 3 josh vitters or pick 7 matt laporta or 2008 no. 1 pick tim beckham or no. 7 pick yonder alonso or 2009 no. 2 pick dustin ackley or no. 3 pick donovan tate or no. 4 pick tony sanchez or 2010 no. 4 pick christian colon or 2011 no. 5 pick bubba starling hitters dont just make it because they dont get injured, they can suck too
how dialed in was this dude. If im the team's best hitter and the pitcher is IBBing me, I'm barely even paying attention, much less able to get a good swing on a surprise lob down the middle.
