    Smart move taking the lineman first.

    So then you're in favor of wildly fluctuating strike zones? Sure. It's just a game, and having different umpire interpretations of a strike zone makes it more interesting I don't think that is true at all.

    Eric Gregg was in favor of rapidly expanding strike zones, and waist lines. He died young, and only one of those was the cause.

    games 1-2 he started at 3rd and hit 8th. Then he sat, then he started at 3rd and hit 8th in games 4-6. He hit 7th in game 7-8. 8th in games 9-10. Inserted toward the end of game 11 at 3B and in the 8 spot again yesterday. So 2 non-starts. 7 starts at 3B in the 8th spot. 2 spots at 3B in the 7 spots and 1 start at DH in the 8 spot. Is there some sort of expectation that he will be worked around in the 8 spot, forcing him to see more pitches?

    Maybe I should start paying more attention
  6. jersey cubs fan
    That's weird, I felt like I saw him at something other than 3B a few times. Has he been batting 8th this whole time?

    Good to see an Iowa pitcher with a nice outing, oh wait, it was the worthless one. What's with Vitters and his odd playing time/positions this year? Is it my imagination or has he barely spent half the games at 3B?

    boo to editing of the thread title

    Well, on the plus side, they are making it very clear that punishment depends entirely on injury. On the negative side, this is incredibly stupid.

    NFL schedule release will be Tuesday the 17th.

    Doubt Vogelbach sniffs Peoria this season, let alone has a VERY good chance of it. Really? I think he'll probably show up with Baez. Maybe give them both 15-20 games in Boise and move them up. He's got a good approach and big bodied guys need to be moved quicker anyway, due to their primes usually coming earlier. That's an....., interesting theory. Never heard that one.

    is it candy cane season already?
  13. jersey cubs fan
    But maybe something happened between the last time somebody considered a change and now?

    I don't think anyone has argued that this is the preferred method, just that it can be done. Yeah, and in part as a counter to some of the knee jerk "OMG WE DIDN'T SIGN ANY BIG NAME FAs IT'S GONNA BE 5 YEARS BEFORE WE'RE GOOD AGAIN" nonsense that has gone on. There is more than one way to skin a cat, and not going big in free agency this offseason absolutely does not mean we're in for 3-4 years of rebuilding. Oh goody, more insulting people who wanted the front office to try.

    I don't think anyone has argued that this is the preferred method, just that it can be done. I think many people have argued very strongly that it is their preferred method.

    Let's move on from the Maholm talk and discuss the next one. Cubs go into Miami having lost all three of their series so far this season. The rotation starts their 3rd trip around with Dempster taking on Josh Johnson, who has been decidedly mediocre so far this year. Probably going to be plenty of Zambrano and Guillen talk this week. Oh yeah, this is also tax deadline day this year.

    Why the hell do you think they acquired him because he had decent numbers against the Cubs? This is lunacy.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    Why would it take a trade of Byrd to get a guy who was released? DFA isn't released. They have 10 days to either trade, release or waive him. So if other teams are interested and offering the Red Sox something of value, it might take something of value to get him. then somebody might want to edit the first post in the thread. Either way, not sure it makes any sense that you "kind of hope we wait for byrd to get going", since the 10-day window isn't set by the Cubs.

    Ok, so the hyperbole didn't match up but we're still talking about a 22 year old who could easily flame out in A ball. That remains to be seen, but if that happens you could hardly justify saying the guy has been proven wrong, a handful of home runs notwithstanding.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    Couldn't happen to a classier organization. At least they aren't eating chicken.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    Has he really been "proven" wrong about Szczur? He's shown enough to justify people being interested in him, but he's still very far away from being anything we can rely on.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    Once they let that first nonsense go with a measly fine, it was inevitably going to devolve into mayhem. These guys have heard nothing but "no head shots and no shenanigans" all season long, and the first thing that happens in the playoffs is it all gets thrown out the window, so let it rip.

    I don't really have a good idea about anybody here, but I'll give the Giants Jeff Allen from Illinois
  25. jersey cubs fan
    He's amazing
