    Occam's baseball game

    2 straight check swing hits and a Happ misplay... Brown is snakebitten
  3. Rex Buckingham
    Thanks CB!
  4. Rex Buckingham
    That was absolutely crushed
  5. Rex Buckingham
    JT!
  6. Rex Buckingham
    Worth it

    Only a terrible throw got us a run that inning... despite two balls hit that are usually HRs. Not sure how Kelly didnt score on PCA's double. They were never close to catching that
  8. Rex Buckingham
    yep, he and Jed are so similar... two extremely conservative guys running teams in huge markets and hesitating to spend what they need to spend... liked Rosenthal's point that they're counting on their guys progressing and the team continuing to improve... but so were the Orioles, who have collapsed this year. I really hope that Caissie, Alcantara, Long, Mo, etc. keep hitting in Iowa to finish the season and Jed can make an offseason move for a frontline starter

    Kriske and Hollowell are easy outs from the bullpen. Pomeranz is probably next given he's turning into a pumpkin. Brown and/or Horton to the minors for Taillon/Assad McGuire goes for Amaya, Ballesteros back down for Castro

    I'm disappointed that they didn't get a better starter than Soroka. I feel like they've been a SP away from being a strong contender since Steele went down. However, the bullpen appears to have gotten better. The lineup is stronger with Castro able to fill in and give breaks. The postseason bullpen could be nasty if they can include Horton and Brown

    yeah, that why I think it's more about the package than Mo... I think they'd be fine moving him, if the value is right (same as it ever was, with Jed)
  13. Rex Buckingham
    I think the Ballesteros thing is mostly, "We're not including him in this package" more than he isn't available
  14. Rex Buckingham
    ooof, I would hate to trade Horton, but if that's what it takes I think you have to take the chance on the proven guy... flags fly forever, and this team is good enough to get one if they get Gore and the bats stop slumping (and stay healthy...)
  15. Rex Buckingham
    Gore would be worth giving up Caissie and Wiggins, and then there would be more to give on top of that, which is ok. The best part about getting Gore would be that Tom isn't here to brag about him being his guy
  16. Rex Buckingham
    pack your bags, Robert
  17. Rex Buckingham
    Wouldn't mind the Cubs getting in on Suarez... Cease would be even better
  18. Rex Buckingham
    See you later. Gavin Hollowell. Ben Kriske, Ethan Roberts, etc.
  19. Rex Buckingham
    Really hope we get Willi Castro now... need a bench bat worth something.
  20. Rex Buckingham
    hmmm... another pen arm?
  21. Rex Buckingham
    I wish we could have kept Franklin... liked him, but he's definitely expendable
  22. Rex Buckingham
    huge shutdown inning from Shota too
  23. Rex Buckingham
    Buschy!

    My guess is that Caissie and Alcantara are being discussed in deals more than Mo, and the Cubs may just believe more in Mo's ability to hit at the ML level right now
