  1. They're just dinking and dunking him to death here
  2. Morel can't lay off that down and away pitch
  3. Bellinger will hit the open market, so it’s more about resigning him rather than extending him
  4. Why is tomorrow not an option?
  5. 8/9 today. Couldn't come up with CLE/3k, but don't really feel bad about it as there are only 4 correct answers.
  6. The Reds have more announcers rotate through their booth than the Cubs, if you can believe it. As someone who is in the Reds' broadcast area, it's confounding how it seems like every game has completely different announcers
  7. If you take the "Wins Above Replacement" literally, then you can argue that an elite, high leverage reliever is worth more than 1-2 extra wins in a year
  8. I honestly don't know enough about our prospects to argue on a per-prospect basis, but isn't the value of Bednar that he's only 24 and is under control for several years? Plus he's getting better each year (fWAR of 1.2, 1.5 and already 1.8 so far this season)? Again, I don't know that you expend top assets for him, but Bednar seems to be more than a 7th inning rental
  9. My bad, standing must not have been updated yet when I posted
  10. To be clear, I don't think anyone is 100% "hoarding prospects". I do think there is some overvaluing of what are essentially lottery tickets. Maybe it's short-sighted on my part, but I value a 24-year old with 2+ years of great MLB numbers over a 22-year old with zero MLB track record.
  11. Reds now in first place by 1/2 a game, Cubs 3 out
  12. I agree with Kyle as well, insofar as there is always a subset of fans who treat baseball operations like a video game and just want to stockpile assets and always play for 3 years in the future. Someone had a funny term for them way back in the day (some play on Democrats and Republicans).
  13. Is there any confirmed reports that Alonso is available or is this just wishful thinking?
  14. It's not discussing baseball with Kyle, it's Kyle telling everyone they're stupid for having opinions different than his. It's fruitless and it just mucks up every thread
  15. Trading Suzuki right now would be the ultimate trade-low. He has been bad and really doesn't help anyone out in the short term.
  16. DO NOT ENGAGE WITH KYLE I REPEAT DO NOT ENGAGE WITH KYLE
  17. Feels like Cubs are only hitting when there are 2 outs in the inning
