There was some stuff last year (I think in the Athletic?) about how they actually were really great about things. Doing things like choosing hotels with outdoor areas they could take over, etc. Part of it was also that the team leaders like Rizzo, Heyward, etc. were part of enforcement in the early part of the year when less of the protocols we're mandatory. So while they have been doofuses a out the shot they were a big part of last year's efforts. And the team did have a small outbreak early this year. It's just that it nabbed guys in the bullpen we don't care about like Brandon Workman and Dan Winkler. Honestly, that's the only way where I can squint and Rizzo doesn't look like a complete doof. He was probably all in on the behavioral protocols to keep people healthy, and it sounds like he was a big leader along those lines. Guy likely would have preferred to keep doing that, figuring it would be enough, but he was wrong. that would be the most backwards way to approach this: ie behavioral change ad nasuem in lieu of a shot. why change your life and everyday activities instead of just getting two pin pricks? In a way, that imagined approach makes Rizzo out to be at least as stupid as being anti-VAX

way to show your worth on a new contract, Tony

Wood, Rizzo in Cubs

COVID? COVID hit EVERY team

eh, I'm not toooo worried about injuries this early this year. If this was Fields' second year, I would be.

I'd give them ea $100 mil a year for 2 years and tell them to do their best and horsefeathers the Ricketts. They can afford it

I remember calling it "stealing first" but only in a joking way

Could it be that Hoyer wants to create his team? Wipe away Theos guys for the sake of his own legacy?

Games Involving Former Cubs Megathread
minnesotacubsfan replied to Derwood's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
It was the type of run I thought he would be capable of a few more times in his Cubs tenure, honestly -
Javy did it

That's what confusing me, it's literally "flowery"? I feel like I've heard it pronounced "flu-ree" oh, i saw that on my phone and thought it was supposed to be a a snowflake flurry or something

Mark Grace wore #17 for 13 years and had well over 2,000 hits with the Cubs. Obviously Kris Bryant had a much higher peak, but there is something to be said for the consistency and length of contributions from Grace. I think they lay equal claim to the number in Cubs history. horsefeathers Mark Grace I don't have lasting hate towards Grace. For me, he was one of the few bright spots between Maddux and Sosa. But if we are talking about the best representative for the Cubs to wear #17, it wasn't him. It was Bryant.

That's a lot closer to what I thought, for sure

8/1 - THE RAFAEL ORTEGA GAME
minnesotacubsfan replied to Derwood's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
I don't understand him. His whip is 1.18 but his era almost 5. Strike outs a decent number and doesn't walk a ton. But, he sucks -
Javy traded to Mets, won't learn any of their names
minnesotacubsfan replied to Derwood's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Baez is such a recognizable name that he won't be the one left out in the cold. -
It takes a very long stretch of major losing to truly damper attendance. They can live with 80+ loss seasons a for a couple years and they will have to. You start going 90+ and prolong it for 5 years and we’ll see, but they have a huge cushion for living with losses and they’ve shown they are more than happy to do it. Unless you gut the team and trade away guys who have become legends. I could see a tank effort backfiring on them
