  1. https://www.theringer.com/mlb/2018/7/16/17571406/trade-deadline-manny-machado-baltimore-orioles-rumor-rental Yes, the Cubs player development system probably wouldn't have been the right place for Torres to maximize his potential, as evidenced by the disappointments of Addison Russell, Ian Happ, and Javier Baez. Yeah i read that line a couple times like umm, what
  2. Rose was just excited to meet the 8th grader who took his ACT for him
  3. I'm right with you. Gotten some pushback from friends on that but it's just infuriating. First inning runs on the other hand, definitely not infuriating. I don’t see how anyone else’s would even be close
  4. The “Javy” chants on the road give me dingle tingles
  5. I don’t hate chatwood the human being but I have never disliked watching a cubs player more
  6. chatwood 5 straight days
  7. the espn headline was like harper, aguilar, muncy headline hr derby and i was just imagining umfan being pissed
  8. man fucked up. the yankees getting machado would be gross, as would giving an actual alive pitching prospect to the orioles who would swiftly destroy him
  9. i do overuse ellipses. to me, they are good
  10. kris bryant: no longer heyward (who is also no longer heyward)
  11. brett is quietly pretty terrible about stuff like this. i find him really hard to take. I’m sure he’s been getting a lot of the twitter idiots telling him how bad and awful Q is all year so I don’t blame him for tweeting that. His mentions have to be a cesspool Regardless, it's super odd how personally this guy takes criticism of Cubs players
  12. So there is roughly 2.5 pitchers per team who have pitched enough to qualify on each team. That kind of says a lot on its own. The Cubs got him to give them a lot of quality innings at an affordable price, not be a shutdown ace. Oh I'm not really criticizing the deal, which i would probably do 100 times over (even if I think Q is kind of an obnoxious pitcher to watch,) I just don't think Brett's general attitude of "SEE I TOLD YOU (something) WAS GOOD WHEN YOU SAID IT WAS ACTUALLY BAD" is warranted here.
  13. out of 40 qualified NL starters, Q is 31st in xFIP ... so brett shouldn't start sucking his own popsicle yet
  14. youre telling me players are walking and striking out more these days???
  15. freakin trevor bauer leads all major league pitchers in war
  16. I still overwhelmingly think we will win the division but scary question: if it was today, who do you trust on the Cubs to start a 1 game playoff? Try to get 5 out of Lester then go Cishek, Edwards, Strop, Morrow? lester with monty hot and ready to go at the first sign of trouble
  17. the brewers are a pretty good team and at least one division per year all the way back to 2014 has been won by a team with a lesser RD so it does happen
  18. It has to be either Babe Aguilar or Babe Muncy, right? my guess was suarez
  19. pretty sure the 55 and 57 are full season lines That’s why I put that gif. These guys are on a pace to pass those legends this season my b
  20. quickly glancing at baseball reference for 1955: musial - 6.1 bWAR mays = 9.1 bWAR aaron - 6.3 BWAR or 1957: musial - 6.1 bWAR mays - 8.3 bWAR aaron - 8.0 bWAR as of today: trout - 6.9 bWAR betts - 5.4 bWAR judge - 5.0 bWAR pretty sure the 55 and 57 are full season lines
