    good god i completely forgot brandon morrow existed. how many years did we give him, 9?

    Two things I keep telling myself: 1. Outside of the Dodgers, none of the other NL contender offenses are very good. And the Cubs are right with the Dodgers in terms of wOBA, wRC, etc. 2. We should only need the starters to go 4 innings, 5 max. Their main task will have to be avoiding a first inning implosion, which they've been prone to do this year. If we can get one starter per series (my money is on Hendricks) to go 6 or 7 per start, our bullpen should be able to handle short starts by the rest of them. part 2 is exactly why i wish they had tried a little harder at the deadline to add a pen guy rather than horsefeathering kintzler

    This means a lot coming from the guy who had a complete meltdown in the 2016 playoffs... in the NLCS... in Game 2. ummmmm actually it was game 3 thanks
  6. imb
    I mean, maybe, but you were the guy on an epic freak out bender that I was trying to make bets against during your doom boner sessions back in late 2016. And it worked didn’t it

    Duke is absolutely a Pollyanna

    heyward/darvish/chatwood is what, $300 million wasted? What a world. It actually makes me wonder if they have the stomach to even sign a Harper this offseason. I imagine what happens is theo pulls a boston and goes all in to sign Harper. if it works out he absolves himself from the horrid heyward, darvish, chatwood deals. If it fails he just leaves. To be fair, as bad as those signings (and the quintana trade) have been, you really can't blame them. Heyward was a 5-war 26 year old, quintana was a 4-war guy on a cheaper than arb deal, and darvish was good value (as long as he didn't die. oops.) Even Chatwood was someone who you would never have predicted him to be worse after leaving colorado.

    Chatwood - definitely Darvish - probably just because so much of the perceived value is tied to the first couple seasons Morrow - eh, maybe. It’s not too unexpected though and he’s excellent when out there Cishek - sign 5 of him Don't forget Duensing. ETA: Can't imagine it's only a probably on Darvish. They'd love a $126 million do-over on that one. Most of us would. heyward/darvish/chatwood is what, $300 million wasted? What a world.

    quintana should never pitch more than 5 innings.
  15. imb
    Man this offseason was just ... it's crazy, out of all the FA signings made by this front office, what percentage of them would they leap at the chance to reverse?
  16. imb
    you guys are lucky we fluked into those first two wins or id be a real piece of horsefeathers to deal with this weekend
  17. imb
    duke what have you done

    Keith Law kills me, gawd. He just cannot take even the slightest hint of criticism, even if it's not remotely close to a direct swipe. Chuck: Was David Bote on any scouts radar as any kind of a prospect? Sure, it’s a SSS, but you have to love how he plays the game and what he brings offensively and defensively. I guess he’s a reminder that scouting isn’t an exact science. Keith Law: He was #12 on my Cubs ranking preseason, so I guess he’s a reminder that you should read the stuff I write? Ooooh you had him at 12 in one of the worst prospect orgs in baseball, you were right on him, baby!

    I'm long been picturing a heartwarming scene of him and Yu holding hands as they get wheeled into the operating room together. After the parade, though. After the parade. has trump even set a date for the military parade yet? KB might wanna get the surgery first so he's 100 percent by then
  20. imb
    they should suspend mattingly
  21. imb

  22. imb

  23. imb
