I will believe we aren’t signing Harper the day I see him in another team’s uniform
-
I never understand this. yeah i dont get it either, but probably because i dont think of the hall as just a WAR leaderboard. the argument guys like keith law use is that most relievers (hoffman, rivera etc) were just failed starters. the idea being that any failed starter could be a successful closer. And yet there are hundreds of failed starters every year who just disappear and are never heard from again while teams like the cubs spend 10 million on kintzlers and duensings.

Yu seems like a very strong candidate to become the 2019 guy who gets our hopes up early then falls apart and is injured just before the playoff push

jesus christ it would be great if "sports reporting" was more about the reporting and less about being used to propagate leverage for the stupid front offices.

Bryant is going to hit FA as a more traditional late 20s corner guy that you realllly dont have to resign
-
Cubs will have Harper signed by this time next week
-
if you wanna do wishful thinking, just pretend that we have the budget for harper and he wants to be here, but we're trying to move other pieces so we can sign both he and machado. harper wants to be here strongly enough that he's delaying his signing and the terms of his contract until we're further along with machado.

it's a useless hypothetical yeah sure, if the offense was bad and people were injured in april and may and then everyone was healthy and the offense was good at the end of the year we'd all be feeling a little bit better. the context matters - it wasn't like the offense fell apart and there was no explanation for it. If the context is just Chili and the death march killing the offense from August on it makes you feel a lot better about where we are at. you sound really desperate
-
Way harsh. horsefeathering autocorrect. Anyways, this is a dumb hypothetical but it would be interesting to me to see the sentiment surrounding the team currently if the season was flipped. What if the bad 2 months of offense happened to start the year through May then from June to the finish we were the great offense but we still ended up with the same results of 95 wins and a WC loss. Like would be in love with where this team was going because of the hot finish? Because the offense was really, really good for a longer stretch than it was bad last year. The bad offense is more recent though and sticks in our minds. I still think we are closer to the really good up to August offense than whatever the hell the last 2 months were moving forward in to this year. Idk, just an interesting way to look at it to try and find a more favorable view of things. it's a useless hypothetical yeah sure, if the offense was bad and people were injured in april and may and then everyone was healthy and the offense was good at the end of the year we'd all be feeling a little bit better. the context matters - it wasn't like the offense fell apart and there was no explanation for it.

any person who can name 31 cubs minor league players belongs in federal prison -
Probably somewhere in the middle. With the team going through stretches of looking like both teams and ending up winning 90+ games. fans in every sport make this mistake every year. it almost always looks like this "hey we should be fine, we're bringing back the same roster we had last year that was very good." *other teams improve* *injured guys are more injured* *other guys get injured* *weird declines happen suddenly or due to injury* "horsefeathers we're a .500 team now"
