Why do we care about that guy? -
Rizzo didn't pack any extra clothes/pants for the trip. His uniform is it.

I think Maddon trying hard to get him hitting for the playoffs.. If Russell is getting starts in the playoffs, something has gone horribly wrong. I'd rather have him in there and Javy at 2nd than Javy at SS and Murphy at 2B. Murphy isn't hitting enough to make up for his defense that I just cannot stand to watch.

Maybe this is common knowledge, but i just found out that Rollie Fingers retired in 1986 rather than shave his mustache to play for the Reds. https://www.mlb.com/cut4/this-day-in-baseball-history-rollie-fingers-retires-rather-than-shave-off-mustache/c-266765214

Who is most likely to homer next?
Banedon replied to itisallpartoftheplan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Bryant. He almost had one at Miller except for the dumb outfield shape. -

I thought we covered this yesterday, Nats. Just stand down.

Fangraphs playoff odds are kinda ridiculous. I know those odds have long loved the Dodgers despite their struggles, but they are a game and a half out of first place in their own division, but have a 5% better chance of winning the World Series than the Cubs.

Oh goodness. Very sad you don't approve. Changed for you. -
Yeah it'd be real nice if Quintana is rounding into shape finally. Perfect timing.
-
Now lets go back and find all the posts where people wanted to trade him and shame them appropriately.

Normally rainouts make me sad but the Cubs haven't had a day off in over two weeks, so bring on the rain. Just make it an absolute no doubt rainout then...I'll pass on the "we might have a window oops wait nope we don't" type of rainout.

Does trading Eddie Butler and Rollie Lacy for Hamels count as pretty much nothing? How about getting Chavez for Tyler Thomas? Those are just the recent ones. Just because we haven't had young studs developed through the system doesn't mean that we've gotten "pretty much nothing". Yes, definitely counts for nothing. The Hamels trade wasn't made for some burning desire to have Eddie Butler and Rollie Lacy. It was a salary dump. Who cares? It's still turning farm system pitching into quality pitching, no matter the motivation.

That's been an organizational philosophy though. Draft and develop badass position players, which are more predictable. Trade for and sign pitching in free agency because of the unpredictability. They weren't forced to make high risk moves...it was a strategic choice. Originally that plan was to draft hitters with the high pick but still get pitchers by drafting them in bulk with supplemental picks and later rounds. That approach netted pretty much nothing.
