    I think that's a lot to ask to get 3 to 4 day 1 starters on the lines if they aren't using their 1st round pick on one. With that said, it sure would make the offense exciting.
  2. Tryptamine
    Damn, look at all those swinging strikes. That's kind of nuts actually for 77 pitches.
  3. Tryptamine
    I wouldn't be thrilled, but I wouldn't go full blown freak out depending on the rest of the draft. They'd have to kill the rest of the draft and probably move up at least once to keep it from being disappointing.
  4. Tryptamine
    Unfortunately I think GB moving up 2 slots from the trade means you can't trade back past 12 now and hope to get JSN. At that point it's probably better just to pop him at 9 if he's your guy.
  5. Tryptamine
    I don't have numbers to support this, but it feels like the Cubs have always absolutely torched Wacha no matter the team he was with. Hopefully we get more of the same.
  6. Tryptamine
    It's 6-0, throw strikes
  7. Tryptamine
    Breath of relief on that, whenever it's a shoulder I'm just assuming it's a year+ if at all ever coming back.
  8. Tryptamine
    I lean this way as well, especially if PJJ is gone. I don't think there's that much difference between Skoronski, Broderick Jones or Darnell Wright and I'd feel safe one of them would be there at 15-17.
  9. Tryptamine
    If PJJ really goes #3 like the rumors say, then I think I'm on the Devon Witherspoon train for #9. I don't really want Skoronski there and I'd rather they trade back if taking an OT.
  10. Tryptamine
    Yes, I'm sure all the FAs are going to say, well the Cubs are offering me the most money but they were mean to a guy who has been terrible at baseball for 5 years straight so I guess I'll go elsewhere.
  11. Tryptamine
    Probably not realistic, but if he's doing this through the end of May, I'd kind of like the Cubs take take a chance and throw a 3 or 4 year extension at him.
  12. Tryptamine
    He also seems to get squared up on almost everything in the zone. He's already almost half way to his entire season's barrel total in 2022, allowing a ridiculous 12.5%. That's like facing Freddie Freeman every at bat.
  13. Tryptamine
    The more I think about it, the more I'd really like to trade down and grab a pick in the 35-45 range even if it comes at the cost of grabbing a truly top tier prospect. I'm still not selling #9 cheap or even for "fair" value, but I don't think it would take robbery for me to be ok with them moving down now. They need at least 3 day 1 starters from this draft on the DL/OL and that's probably the most realistic way to get it done.

    Barnhart a special kind of awful tonight
  15. Tryptamine
    Fulmer had better see nothing but mop up duty for a long time
  16. Tryptamine
    Not at all sold on Fulmer. A closer should not give up this much hard contact.
  17. Tryptamine
    So many hard hit balls right at people
  18. Tryptamine
    About as bad as possible
  19. Tryptamine
    This team isn't talented enough to let Hosmer hang around on this roster for a quarter of the season.
  20. Tryptamine
    It's not like it's bad luck either. It's just consistantly bad contact.
  21. Tryptamine
    A lot of bad at bats tonight. Also, Hosmer is really bad at baseball.
  22. Tryptamine
    It really is confusing especially when you have Mervis and Morel in AAA
  23. Tryptamine
    Double, lag
  24. Tryptamine
    This camera angle is really throwing me off
  25. Tryptamine
    Can we fire Hosmer into the Sun yet?
