    They get a ton of credit for the high first rounders (Almora, Bryant, Schwarber); that's not easy. But what have they done outside those picks? Bote? They were good at getting talent out of the 1st round in Boston, I guess the loose money restrictions played a huge role in what they did. Happ, Cease, they drafted Rizzo in Boston, Willy (not a pick but developed), Torres/Eloy we used for the exact reason they were signed as capital to add real MLB talent (argue about the return all you want). "what have they done in the draft outside of those high draft picks?" *answers by naming off people who were not drafted* edit: also i want to state that no one should be lamenting the torres loss. And not just because the return won us the world series, but because torres just really isnt that good. id rather have addison russell and i really dont like addison russell.

    the only good thing about the embarrassing cubs performances lately has been watching duke try to spin every negative as a positive

    if quintana has actually fallen off at all and it's not just a one-year blip, we probably "lose" the trade bc Eloy and Cease are a fair bit to provide lots of value through their rookie deals. But overall it's probably fine and a trade you have to make if you're the cubs in the middle of your window. but if quintana is this guy the next couple years rather than the guy we saw last year, it's gonna really suck to watch

    Thanks. I actually had a scan show complete remission a few weeks back. However, being a blood cancer they are using radiation to make sure they get it completely so I don’t have to do this again. Basically, my tumors were located in just the right spot that they felt radiation would not harm my vital organs longterm and they could greatly reduce the damaging affects of those last 4 chemo treatments by not doing them. I’m very happy. tim died so that you may live

    hahaahahha man this is peak david i mean if getting bent out of shape whenever baseball baseballs and good teams SPLIT a horsefeathering series with a bad team is how you chose to enjoy baseball, go you. seems insane to me, but go nuts. i dunno man, i mean my thinking is the offense is fine, so if we play a team with bad pitching and the bats go cold it's whatever. But our pitching is bad, so if we play a home series against the worst offense in baseball and can't even manage a series win *because* of how bad the pitching is it's just not good. It's not "baseball baseballing," it's an indictment of our achilles heel.

    splitting no series is really horsefeathering bad. it's baseball. come on already. there's literally no sample of 4 games that can be considered really horsefeathering bad, no matter what the results. no 4 game sample is some referendum on a baseball team or something. especially not one that was split. hahaahahha man this is peak david

    dont worry he's not part of the super bullpen.

    Every time Caratini hits a 7 foot dribbler foul all I can do is think about how sick our bullpen is
  21. imb
    I mean maybe it will. It’s just funny watching Lester give up rockets to the worst offense in baseball and people are like “horsefeathers yes the bullpen is so good” But that’s kinda the point, if the starters suck or get in trouble we have a very good bullpen to go to if they have a short leash with the SP and they can keep us in games and it’s not revolutionary to win that way in the playoffs. The tried and tested playoff method of giving up a [expletive] of runs immediately

    Why do you goobers act like "we'll just bullpen it" is some trump card lmao. If the starter gives up 5 runs in three innings, it's not gonna make much of a difference how good our bullpen might be. We have the best record in the NL. It's worked all season. Why won't it work in the playoffs? I mean maybe it will. It’s just funny watching Lester give up rockets to the worst offense in baseball and people are like “horsefeathers yes the bullpen is so good”

    every time heyward slows down on a fly ball i can't tell if it's because he has a bead on it or because he lost it in the sun

    I once scoffed at this sentiment, but I'm right there with you. I'm excited for Sunday funday drinking/grilling and having friends over, because that is the best part of the fall. But the football itself is almost inconsequential. I long ago stopped paying attention to any primetime game not involving the Bears. now try living in college football country, and mixing in the evil and hypocrisy of the NCAA to the mix! i can't wait to drink and eat and have fun but the first time some 18 year old kid with no future gets knocked unconscious im going to realize what a dumbass I am for watching it
