Lol @Stratos -
It is way too early to care about the results for other teams. June is when I think it becomes worth comparing, July I look for trade (buying/selling) purposes, and August start to actually track competitors if in a close race
-
It's not my money... spend it
-
The problem is, Javier Assad and Collin Rea and Jameson Taillon can help you win plenty of regular season games... but they arent playoff starters. Horton was a guy you hoped would be ready to give you 5+ in a playoff start. Those guys might give you 3.
-
Great effort by Assad
-
you wrote that he unequivocally should have challenged all 4, and yet one of them was definitely a strike and the model you're using said 2 would have been bad challenges

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 3-31-26
Rex Buckingham replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Alcantara starting strong is encouraging -
In his defense, the two calls were like 1 inch combined off the zone... and now I feel bad for defending CB.
-
really excited to see Cabrera pitch tonight
-
Nah, he has said repeatedly that Illinois is his dream job, including in the press conference tonight.
-
Ramirez and Triantos are likely bench bats at best for what we hope they Cubs will be
-
Let's hope Shaw hits well as a super sub, then can be traded for an OF bat in the offseason (or proves good enough in the OF to give him a job out there)
-
Per Cerami Mods, delete since Derwood included more info
-
ooof, failing to challenge ball 4 turns into an inning-ending DP
-
Brown has done a good job after that first inning... eating innings at least, trying to give the offense a chance against this Nationals pen
-
oh geez Shaw

In case anyone is like me and missed this in the Events forum... @Southpaw19 runs this fun yearly event for posters, you should all join

I would rather lose to Houston.

Danny P is going to be a star as long as he stays healthy
-
Why would Schefter push that narrative in respect to the cap when everyone with a pulse knows the NFL cap is not real?
-
Schefter was saying the same thing yesterday about them not having the cash, and then Bill Z mentioned extensions for Caleb and Wright playing a part in that, since they will have lots of guaranteed money that will have to be accounted for in those deals
-
This doesnt account for improvement, which Caleb seems likely to show in Y2 of the system, as well as Loveland and Burden. It doesnt account for Rome, Jaylon or Kyler returning to full health (in theory)... yeah, I'd like to see some quality vets added, but as someone mentioned earlier there is a long way to go in the offseason
-
I would certainly rather see them in the tourney than thoroughly mediocre teams like this year's Indiana and Auburn teams. Putting those type of teams in just shows we could reduce the size again
