    Off goes the TV before the Cubs record a single out.
  2. Tryptamine
    Yup this is going very well.

    Looking like Tim Anderson blew out his achilles, at least in the opinion of the head of thoracic surgery at Tufts

    How does Fried get that strike on Bote, but doesn't call either pitch on the corner to Fried. Robot jumps please.

    Just like last year, they may end up with 90+ regular season wins, but they aren't even comparable to the Dodgers,Yankees,Astros etc.

    In perhaps one of the more baffling promotions I've seen in a while, the Cardinals have decided to promote 20 year old Nolan Gorman from A to A+. Gorman hasn't exactly torn up A ball, posting a .199/.323/.348 line since May 1st, a span of 192PAs. He's also striking out 29.2% of the time.

    Where's that old man yells at cloud picture when you need it?
  8. Tryptamine
    I think they move Davis along relatively slowly. I'd guess it's 50/50 he sees A+ at all this year.

    Bring the DH to the NL, get rid of the ridiculous competitive balance picks and bring on the robot umps. Also, it would be nice to see the minor leaguers get a living wage.

    Perhaps the best pitching prospect in the minors, Casey Mize pulled after 23 pitches. His last pitch 85mph. Not looking good.
  11. Tryptamine
    Well this is about as exciting a pitching day as the farm has had in a very long time.

    Their extensions have been absolute nightmares so far. 36 year old Molina is making $20M this year and $20M in 2020 while putting up an 82 wRC+. 33 year old Matt Carpenter is due $18.5M in 2020 and another $18.5M in 2021 with a 2022 option of $18.5M while providing a 97 wRC+ so far this year. 33 year old Dexter Fowler is due $14.5M this year and again in 2020 and 2021 putting up a wRC+ of 106. 30 year old Mikolas is due $15.75M each year from now through 2023 and putting up a 4.74FIP/4.40SIERA.

    Up to 19HR at home with an 1.606OPS vs on the road with 5HR and an .844OPS. Six percent higher BB% and six percent lower K% at home as well. Has any player ever had such a ridiculous Home/Away split?

    I feel pretty safe in saying Alzolay is probably the least likely piece to be moved on the farm, simply because someone is going to have to take Cole's spot in the rotation for 2020 on the cheap and his combination of MLB readiness and ability make him the prime target. Money may be coming off the books between Zobrist,Hamels,Strop,Morrow,etc. but a ton of that money is going to be spent on arbitration raises and restocking the bullpen.

    Hey, Garlin isn't completely sauced this time, still terrible in an interview though. I really need to just turn the spell checker off, it causes more errors than it fixes
  16. Tryptamine
    So they blow up an all star quality pitcher like Marquez yesterday and look completely helpless against a good, not great, pitching prospect making his debut today. Fun.
  17. Tryptamine
    Well on my way to putting Descalso in my Cub hate hall of fame joining Neifi,Theriot,Miles etc.
  18. Tryptamine
    Cubs have signed 6th round pick Hearns for 2nd round money.
  19. Tryptamine
    So I'm pretty shocked not a single HS player has been taken. I suppose the good news is that in another year or two we wont have to trade our prospects for relievers anymore.
  20. Tryptamine
    I'm not angry or anything, just underwhelmed. There were a handful of guys I would like to have had there.
  21. Tryptamine
    Dodgers keep getting richer.
  22. Tryptamine
    Bleh, that's about all I've got.
  23. Tryptamine
    Pretty happy with that Card pick. I don't think that arm has much chance of holding up to a starter workload.
  24. Tryptamine
    Absolutely love Corbin Carroll. Dbacks got a steal.
  25. Tryptamine
    Sadly the Sox made the right decision and took Vaughn.
