  1. He shouldn't have been around to begin with. He hasn't been anything but terrible since 2018. 2.14 ERA in 30ish innings last year
  2. Hey, now, we won 4 whole games against them last year
  3. There was a #44 prior to Rizzo on the Yankees. Oh, I know, not saying it’s a rational annoyance
  4. I don’t know why it annoys me that all these guys changed their numbers after they left, but it does. I’m sure there were good reasons, but it still bugs me
  5. I'll take runs any way I can get them, but I think the era of glorious dongsmiths has passed us by
  6. First teammates to go back to back 6+ IP with no hits
  7. Shwarbs and Rizzo with homers today.
  8. What did the crowd look like at opening pitch? It's pretty sparse for a 1-run, opening day game
  9. Me (every time a new Cubs reliever comes out): "Huh"
  10. Let me guess, he tried pulling an outside pitch and hit an off-balance dribbler
  11. o/u his OPS being 700 this year? o/u on Heyward having 400 AB's where he rolls his ankle and grounds weakly to 2B?
  12. Same. I canceled during the lockout and am in no hurry to resubscribe. Just FYI (and for anyone else) - if either of you guys happen to have T-Mobile as your cell carrier, you can get it for free. Nope, AT&T
  13. Same. I canceled during the lockout and am in no hurry to resubscribe.
  14. It feels like this team plays 7 games a week
  15. Jose Ramirez is a token move unless they build on it. If not, he's just their Joey Votto
  16. C - W. Contreras - $75 1B - V. Guerrero Jr - $200 2B - J. Altuvé - $100 3B - M. Chapman - $75 SS - B. Bichette - $75 LF - K. Schwarber - $100 CF - K. Bryant - $75 RF - B. Harper - $150 DH - J. Ramirez - $150 TOTAL - $1000
  17. No. They are "free" and the equivalent of wild cards in previous years. Yep, I see now. My bad. I'll have my team ready here soon
  18. Bench players count towards the $1000 cap?
  19. Absolutely not a defense of the Ricketts, but Stroman would be #2 if not for the desire to split him and Hendricks up in the order. Sure, but he shouldn’t even be sniffing the rotation on a large market team.
  20. Justin Steele will be the #2 starter Big market team energy there
  21. Why oof? That's right in the range I would expect them. Lower end of that range but still in there. Like the article points out the Cubs have built a high floor/low ceiling type of team IMO. It's hard to really project them so I'd expect most "experts" would go conservative on them. It wasn’t an “oof” of surprise, it was an “oof” of ESPN reinforcing the awfulness of the roster.
  22. ESPN's season preview has the Cubs as the #22 team in the league. Oof.
