    Seeing as I have extremely limited hockey knowledge, are we expecting 2024 to be another dumpster fire where they're closer to sniffing the #1 pick than the last spot in the playoffs?
  2. Tryptamine
    While I wouldn't be particularly upset with this because it can be argued that more bullets gives you a better chance, but what the Cubs need is that one elite player to be the franchise cornerstone and I want them taking BPA to achieve that.

    It's amazing that basically every single big Baltimore bat prospect of the most recent rebuild has not only been a success so far, but an all star level player. Gunnar Henderson leads all of MLB with 6.0 fWAR through 83 games. just your casual 11.7 fWAR/162 game pace. Adley Rutschman is at 2.9 fWAR through 79 games 5.95 fWAR/162 pace Jordan Westburg is at 2.7 fWAR through 77 games 5.68 fWAR/162 pace Colton Cowser is at 2.2 fWAR through 80 games 4.46 fWAR/162 pace Joey Ortiz, who was traded to Milwaukee, is at 2.6fWAR through 72 games 5.85 fWAR/162 pace Freshly promoted Heston Kjerstad is putting up a 181 wRC+ in his first 37 PA as well. Then they still have Mayo, Holliday and Basallo to go. We could be looking at the best offensive line up in modern history.

    I mean, they don't even throw at the batter that often anymore, or slide outside the basepath to intentionally take people out or plow a catcher who isn't looking in their direction. Complete wuss ball am I right?

    I've seen at least 1 article that had 3 Illini going in the draft next year. Riley, Boswell and Jakucionis
  6. Tryptamine
    I'm not even a fan at 4 or 5.
  7. Tryptamine
    They'll probably sign a pretty big name in FA, but it's not going to be Soto or Burnes. My guess is the Cubs do something I hate and sign Alonso. They've had reported interest now for the last 2 years and I completely expect his inevitable 5 or 6 year deal to age like milk.

    Imagine that, getting yelled at doesn't make people more productive. I wonder how many of the people in support of the yelling would be more productive at their own job if the boss decided to lay into them in front of everyone.
  9. Tryptamine
    Mayo and Kjerstad is probably your best case scenario and even that might be wishful thinking. It would probably be something more like Mayo+Norby+like 3 other less and/or further away pieces.

    Is this going to be another coach needs to be a red ass in order to be a good coach thing? You can still be an effective coach without screaming at people like a lunatic.
  11. Tryptamine
    Did Hector slip this ump $20 before the game?
  12. Tryptamine
    Thank you ump.
  13. Tryptamine
    It's baffling right? Our bullpen is filled with guys who nibble on the edges. Neris seems entirely incapable of beating people in the zone now.
  14. Tryptamine
    I started to get worried Neris wasn't going to walk anyone.
  15. Tryptamine
    It begins
  16. Tryptamine
    They're so good at hitting into DPs.
  17. Tryptamine
    Sorry guys, I'm going to turn the game on
  18. Tryptamine
    Now that the Cubs are 11.5 out of division and 5 games out of the WC. Are we all to the point where everyone has accepted the team's fate this year? No more desperate souls praying for .600 ball from here on out?
  19. Tryptamine
    I don't really have all that much interest in what the Yankees have to offer. The guys that are in the value range for Bellinger are guys who are all super far away. Everyone in the 7-11 range is A ball or rookie ball except for Jorbit Vivas who has negative pop. Above that is guys 50+ and there's no way Bellinger is bringing those guys in. Agustin Ramirez is kind of interesting I suppose.
  20. Tryptamine
    Part of me wants to buy low on Rocker coming off TJS, but I don't think Bellinger could even get that done.
  21. Tryptamine
    God I wish this team could sell high on Taillon right now. If half the pitching roster wasn't on the IL, it would be possible.
  22. Tryptamine
    He's a 45+ and Baltimore's #8 prospect. If you think we're getting more than that you're kidding yourself.
  23. Tryptamine
    At this point I keep coming back to the Orioles and I keep thinking something like Chayce McDermott+lottery ticket
  24. Tryptamine
    That's what I told myself after the Cubs won the previous SF series.
  25. Tryptamine
    I didn't mean to imply he did. I was simply saying the Cubs are better are improving stuff than they are at improving command.
