    I'm fascinated by Penn State's ability to recruit some of the elite young talent. Their ice hockey was a club sport for decades, so has a far shorter history as a viable varsity team. What's their selling point? "We don't care how long you stay, just show up for a year or two before going to the NHL"? There's some secret sauce happening here.

    I think had you polled Cubs fans (even if just on this board) last September and said "create a reasonable trade proposal for Kyle Tucker", NONE of them would have been "starting 3B, mid pitcher, plus one top prospect". It would have been "OMG Caissie and PCA and Wiggins and Horton and...."

    I feel like fans fall into two camps: 1. Make up trade offers that send fringe bench players/prospects for a star or 2. Make up trade offers where it takes all 10 of your top 10 prospects to get a MOR pitcher for a rental

    Garbage time HR for Turner

    Good AB by Busch, just right at a guy

    Shaw's body language shows me that he's guessing

    Can we admit that Dansby just can't catch up to 97mph anymore?

    Offense is grosssss tonight. No discipline, trying to pull everything. Terrible.
  12. Derwood
    their 8/9 inning guys are great, but there's a lot of "meh" in there

    Imanaga has settled in nicely, but oof, these at-bats...
  14. Derwood
    grrrr

    Do the Cubs have somewhere to be? Really impatient so far

    PCA still can't lay off that head-high fastball

    I'm curious what the hitting coach is telling/teaching Shaw. It feels like he's been up their guessing for a month. The times he has hit the ball hard feel more like "blind squirrel finds nut" than any specific mechanical fix or strike zone understanding

    Jeff Samardzija pitching out of the bullpen that year (and Kerry Wood as closer) is wild
  20. Derwood
    Yep. More teams are holding on to players on the off chance of a winning streak putting them into a wildcard spot, but also more teams looking to add than teams looking to sell

    On this date in 2008 we acquired Rich Harden
  22. Derwood
    Former Cub Miguel Cairo named interim manager in Washington
  23. Derwood
    I feel like I can't catch up

    Blah blah RBI stats suck blah blah, BUT....it's cool that a year after only 16 players in MLB surpassed the 100 RBI mark, 4 Cubs are on pace to hit 100 this season. The last season that ANY Cub had 100+ RBI was 2018
  25. Derwood
    Yep. He probably thought this was a way to get away with it (oops, threw that in the dirt for ball 1!!) but there are so many watchdogs monitoring this stuff that you aren't going to get away with it
