Rookie showing up the Cubs right now. Strike outs and weak contact.
-
He's now .2 fWAR from having doubled up the 10th most valuable position player in baseball this year, Junior Caminero.
-
Northwestern had an alumni donate 35 million dollars to the football program. All the worthy charities out there that would have desperately loved a small piece of that and no, it's going to go to football.
-
You can pull him anytime now, he's not good.
-
Quintana didn't work out, but people down playing the trade like it was stupid are rewriting history. Do you understand how good Quintana was? In the 4 years prior to being with the Cubs he put up between 4.0 and 4.9 fWAR every year. He was a crazy good pitcher.
-
Please given Ian an extended bench stay. These aren't even competitive at bats.
-
Well, Cease probably has at least 2 more innings in him.
-
10 baserunners in 5 innings is awful and to only have 1 run score is extreme luck. It's not a skill set, it's crazy variance luck.
-
I can't tell if sarcasm.
-
Pretty thrilled Happ's contract is over at the end of this year. It really is starting to feel like he's washed. .639 OPS since June 1st spanning 221 PAs.
-
9 baserunners through 4 and only 1 run, a golden horseshoe up his ass so far.
-
At least.
-
I mean, if he's a 2B/3B which is looking exceedingly likely at the moment, the bat is more good than great. It was probably a bit of an overpay, but I also don't think the Cubs were near as high on him as some of the posters here are.

You know as well as I, that scoreless is nice, but 5 baserunners in 2 innings is awful and getting out of that with even 1ER is lucky.
-
Peterson pretty much assuring there's no rotation spot for him going forward.
-
Hoyer gets perhaps the 2nd and 3rd best SP that were actually moved, a RP that, small sample size alert, has been mentioned along side Mason Miller/Jacob Misorowski, a much needed bat to mash lefties and can spell PCA in CF when need be, and oh yeah, a guy who when healthy is a mid rotation arm and people still aren't enthused. If that's not enough, you were wildly unrealistic about your expectations.

Why is Thielbar still being used in late innings?
Tryptamine replied to CubFaninPA's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Now do onion gravy and jorts -
Holy horsefeathers PCA
-
Yikes, he might be washed
-
Hunter Brown through 5 hitless innings against Taillon in his Blue Jay debut.
-
Also PCA with 28 SB vs Ohtani 6 SB
-
Gonna have to pray for Shota to get through 5 at this rate.
-
Having done no research on the matter, what's the highest fWAR a player has ever had and not won the MVP, because PCA might end up in the 10-11 range which is just otherworldly
-
I've already heard as recently as today from a sports writer/radio personality that PCA is not particularly close to Ohtani in the MVP race and Ohtani would have to completely tank for it to be close even if he doesn't pitch anymore this year. People have lost their damn minds.
-
I really hope they bring Seiya back, even if it takes 4th year. His defense has been significantly improved, he's up to a 135 wRC+ and on pace for his best season in the major by fWAR. Does throwing 4/100 at him land him or is that not enough in a FA class so woefully lacking as the one coming up?
