  1. Going to see a fresh arm called up from Iowa today?
  2. Too busy trying to get in every camera shot with Ben Johnson to do his job
  3. This Game 7 is bananas. Incredible basketball
  4. That's about as fun as the Tarris Reed stat from college basketball... he played 4 years in college, from 2022-23 thru 25-26, split equally between Michigan and then UConn. Those teams won 3 of 4 titles while he was in college. He was on none of those 3 title-winning teams.
  5. This PBP guy gets too excited about everything
  6. Just turned the game on... 1st pitch, HR Hererra... game back off
  7. I don't care about either. I just want to see good baseball being played by the Cubs. If one or both of those helps that happen, then sign me up I guess. The players deserve a bigger slice of the pie, for sure. And any owner that refuses to spend a reasonable amount of money should be shamed and forced to sell their team, since they're all wildly rich and only getting richer off the backs of others, many (maybe most?) of whom come from disadvantaged situations.
  8. Trump Jr. is involved, so that's basically a lock to be true
  9. It's fun having young hitters to be excited about... it's not 2014 with Bryant and Baez and the like, but it's fun to see Hartshorn performing like this at such a young age
  10. You're just being intentionally dense at this point. Pete is clearly not getting the results we hope for, but hitting the ball hard repeatedly, and taking walks!, is a good thing
  11. I know it has been argued back and forth that, whether accumulated on offense or defense, all WAR is equal. But after watching the Cubs offense every year post-2016, I refuse to believe it. A bunch of average offensive players who are great defensively are not as valuable as a bunch of great hitters who are average defensively.
  12. Trade deadline position: Buyers. Chicago is already making phone calls regarding starting pitching help, and I would expect between now and the trade deadline they land a starter because they have the prospects to make a deal. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7287091/2026/05/19/mlb-team-outlook-trade-deadline-quarter-mark/ Something we probably assumed, but nice to hear they are already making some calls and being proactive rather than waiting
  13. 3 game losing streak led to 10 game winning streak, what will the 4 game losing streak lead to?
  14. Per this article from Scott Powers, top 6 winger https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7260123/2026/05/14/blackhawks-roman-kantserov-nhl-khl-stats/ 36 goals in the KHL, most ever over there by an under-23 player. Maybe hoping for a Patrick Sharp-level offensive threat beside Bedard
  15. His offensive production at his age in the KHL is comparable to Kaprizov
  16. I believe Hendriks is a noted potty mouth on the mound, but I think that's about it
