  1. I don't think the Cubs are doing anything to make russell a better person. They aren't changing an entitled man baby like him by saying the right thing in press conferences.
  2. I think it might be time to stop offering to pay for today's hamburger on Tuesday.
  3. If he's not healthy, or he's not comfortable coming back, or whatever else related to his head, then thank him for his service, and wish him well. If he comes back this season or next and wants to give it a go, why not. He's got one year left on his deal at a fairly reasonable price, and I don't think anyone is sold on Delia unless he drags this team to the playoffs (which is far from likely). As long as Toews/Kane/Keith are around, this team has to go into the season trying to win now, and a healthy Crawford gives you the best chance going into next year. i think it makes sense to start your transition to the next goalie now rather than later regardless of whether they are trying to win or not. If we can save $2-3m by trading Crawford for a smaller contract, that is pretty valuable for the Hawks in improving the team for next season. I guess my thoughts are based on an optimistic outlook for Delia. I guess he does need more time before we can anoint him as starting goalie of the future. I can't imagine the situation where they can trade Crawford for a similar contract and save $2-3m at the same time.
  4. you'd be crazy to move him out of the rotation, the guy is a machinist
  5. It was known he had really bad off field stuff, it was just swept under the rug and considered unrelated to baseball by many at the time.
  6. [tweet]https://twitter.com/Cubs/status/1095022724815249408[/tweet]
  7. the man has an eye for making sure everything is vaguely recognizable
  8. I wonder how many members of cubs twitter were invited to their favorite player's kids baptism
  9. So ive never done heroin but #1 im pretty sure all heroin is injectable #2 "forehead heroin" doesnt exist any more than arm heroin does #3 I dunno, maybe ask a friend who is a drug dealer if you are expecting a friendly discount on drugs Look at this nerd who hasn’t spent two decades on nsbb like us cool dudes
  10. What are the actual numbers for left handed hitters in SF? I don't think its a bad park for lefties - it was designed for Barry after all. The park has been last in HRs all but 3 years since 2010, 2nd to last once, 3rd last once and 11th fewest another year. The park kills power, granted part of that is their roster but the stadium kills power. For lefties it gets deep fast to RF, it is fine dead pull distance wise but the RCF triangle is like 400+. Then there’s LA and SD in the division which are pitcher parks and Arizona isn’t the launching pad it once was now that they have the humidor, iirc, he does get Coors ~20 times a year though. Two examples, which admittedly could be meaningless but are two LHH who have spent their whole careers there, in their careers Belt is at 70 road HRs and 42 home HRs in only about 100 more road abs. Crawford is at 55 road HRs and 32 home HRs in again only about 100 more road abs. Damn MLB making crazy changes to season schedule this late in offseason.
  11. the march to the lottery is a marathon not a sprint
  12. that is a brutal story to be clear, I was referring to the assault story, and not the fact that you started following the Cubs in the mid-90s
  13. Damn, my sports prognostication peak occurred when I called his homerun in this game, that landed about 3 rows in front of me. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN199506270.shtml
  14. No, no no no no no no No. Owners aren't going to raise their budgets just because one of the players on the roster is now technically a DH. There aren't going to be 15 new full time DHs averaging 7.5m. There aren't even 15 now despite there being 15 AL teams. Money is fungible. The budget is the budget. The owners will spend what they are going to spend.
  15. It's not like there are suddenly going to be a dozen Mo Vaughns brought into the league. There were only 9 guys who qualified as DH last year in the AL. You bring up a list of DH with a lower PA qualification and it gets very thin very quickly. Scoring will become marginally easier, while pitching will be slightly more difficult. Duel league DH is not a big win for MLBPA, especially not in the middle of a multi-season trend of blow after blow against them.
  16. No, I'm saying its' a stupid ask. Why-wouldn't it be a good thing for the players? it's a good thing for very few players. It doesn't add jobs. It just shuffles money around. Players need to do away with amateur signing restrictions, lower arb and free agency eligibility, and do away with penalties for teams signing free agents. Those are things that helps the Players. The DH does not help the Players.
  17. also probably a blue lives matter activist
  18. No, I'm saying its' a stupid ask.
