Man, he really went full anti-vaxxer. Not what I expected when I heard he wasn't vaccinated.

That's exactly why he didn't hustle. He got injured hustling and there was literally a press conference where whoever was the manager at the time told him to take it easy on routine grounders so he doesn't hurt himself, so he did and then the media called him out for being lazy. He was literally following his head coach's orders to not hurt himself, and they called him out on it. It was damned if you do damned if you don't in the eyes of the Chicago media, and it drove me nuts. Aramis was the best third baseman we ever had after Santo and it wasn't just like he was the best out of a bad bunch, he was legitimately awesome. I remember at the time he was the only third baseman in the majors to have four consecutive years with an OPS over .900. Not even a-rod was able to do that. He was also one of those players that heated up towards the end of the year but you by then the Cubs were completely out of it at that point so the media liked to think that he wasn't really trying until it didn't count which is such absolute horsefeathers.

I admire your optimism, but the Cubs will not be serious buyers for a very long time, let's get real. The last thing they'll do is trade for one of the best third basemen in the game and/or a Cy Young. They're gonna blow it up for prospects and cash.

Drop Tom Murphy, add Willson Contreras That should put my roster at exactly $1,000, too -
I mean on one hand, Bauer is def cheating and should be punished. On the other, he pretty much called this out back in 2018 and mlb did nothing and then said "ok I'm going you do it too and I'm going to win the cy young" and he did. So like... He's doing exactly what he set out to do which was even out the playing field and take away advantages from others who are also cheating?
-
Yeah, I'm like 3 blocks away. Think I might stop by tomorrow to take advantage of that.

Looks like Jake decided to celebrate his good outing yesterday and wound up getting folks a free bottle of wine. https://www.instagram.com/p/CNOYq20Blii/?igshid=138gfti4rzhnz

Without knowing any more details than what you just said, why do you suggest that he's not gonna make it? It just sounds like he faced an annoying batter who fouled everything off but his velocity was fine. I mean outside of being a hard thrower whose arm is gonna fall off eventually like every other high-velocity pitcher.
-
Don't know anything about the guy, but a 20-year-old 6'5" 245lb first baseman with what appears to be good plate patience and contact ability seems promising.
-
This Kevin Mather story is pretty big. Feel like it should have its own thread, or at least open up the discourse in the "never side with ownership" thread

Pedro Gomez passed away at 58. I think from a heart attack. Damn
-
They're apparently paying like 95% of what's left on Dex's salary. So they're pretty much paying Dexter Fowler not to play for them.
-
Kuhl and Frazier would be nice You got an extra $7 million laying around, because PTR doesn't. PTR invested in EBGames
-
I mean, I guess I applaud your optimism that the Cubs would make any sort of move that helps them compete, but it feels like an exercise in disappointment right now.
-
If they move Bryant and Hendricks to Toronto we better be getting one or two of their legacies back. You can squint to understand why we got what we got for Darvish because of his contract, but Hendricks has no reason to be traded other than "Why keep a good player if we intend to suck while he has value" and Bryant, issues aside, is still one of our most valuable trading chips.

horsefeathers. Got to meet him once. Filmed him delivering a speech celebrating the bicentennial for Mobile, AL. He was a class act, and he pronounced "birthday" like "boithday" and to this day that's how I say it to people in person, which is weird, but that's because of Hank Aaron.
