  1. Is Nelly Velazquez good enough against lefties and good enough in CF to use to spell Bellinger? I know he's supposed to be pretty good for a corner OF, just not sure how he plays in CF... tuned out too much last year to notice
  2. if a DL has had any kind of production, they add value to this current Bears roster
  3. Dylan Dodd held the Cardinals to 1 run over 5 innings and got the W in his MLB debut. Pretty cool for a kid whose HS has about 400 students. I'm a grad of the same school, and they let school out early today so people could go see him pitch since it's about a 3.5 hour drive from STL.
  4. one hit from Mancini, then none from anyone else outside the top 3 in the order and that hit was in the 3rd inning of game 1. So we're at 15 innings and counting with only 3 guys collecting hits
  5. related anecdote - Dodd is from my HS. Pretty cool for a kid from a school that small to make the bigs
  6. 5 guys in the lineup right away worth following... and Bote could theoretically be worth following eventually if he really mashes
  7. Time to give Khudobin all the time he can handle between the pipes
  8. I thought I was hearing things the first time I heard that read
  9. There's that infield D we were told about, beautiful
  10. I picked 71-75 as I just don't believe in the lineup and have questions about the starting pitching. I'd love to be wrong, and I feel like this team is set up in a way that leaves a wide range of possibilities. Is Bellinger a 110 OPS+ guy? Which position prospects come up and make noise? Is Rios going to hit? Can Happ turn some doubles into dongs? Will Swanson hit 25+ HRs? Can Nico stay healthy? Will we get a positive offensive contribution from Catcher or will it be a black hole?
  11. saw on Twitter (from Brett maybe?) that Dom Nunez got hurt over the weekend and they probably wanted Torrens around in case another catcher got hurt early in the year since there's no other real alternative
  12. it's probably a bit better for my mental health not to be able right now to read about all the terrible things that have to be discussed in the social forum.
  13. Took Jesus horsefeathers Ferreira and Haji Wright over him... thanks Greggggg
  14. Seems like a good deal
  15. Right on cue, Pepi comes on and scores a beauty
