  1. DJ LeMahieu was just DFA'd. Has to be a better option, right?
  2. 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.
  3. 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...."
  4. 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
  5. Can we admit that Dansby just can't catch up to 97mph anymore?
  6. Offense is grosssss tonight. No discipline, trying to pull everything. Terrible.
  7. their 8/9 inning guys are great, but there's a lot of "meh" in there
  8. 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
  9. Jeff Samardzija pitching out of the bullpen that year (and Kerry Wood as closer) is wild
  10. 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
  11. Former Cub Miguel Cairo named interim manager in Washington
