    I really find it strange that the Cubs were like the only team who have gained absolutely nothing from this sudden HR explosion in baseball. If anything, our guys are hitting fewer HRs now, while Albies has already hit 6 more HR this year then he did in in entire Milb career spanning 4 years.

    Agreed. Nagy’s playcalling was awful. If we wanted conservative we would have kept Fox. Very disappointing. Basically 15 scripted plays and Mack almost carried a garbage team to a win but our high profile CB blew the game I think it's very telling that the coach basically took the ball out of Trubisky's hands in the 2nd half preferring to try and run out a clock with 7 mintues to go in a game.

    What an awful cumulative choke job. Lost a lot of faith in Trubisky who looked scared and will someone teach Kyle Fuller how the hell to catch a football?

    Edwards just gets rattled so incredibly easily. His stuff is incredible, but but he completely lacks the ability to fight through tough innings.
  5. Tryptamine
    .380babip and making overall worse contact this year than last. Clearly his numbers are totally sustainable.
  6. Tryptamine
    I have zero faith in them to call it correctly, in fact I believe they would actively torpedo the project out of spite.
  7. Tryptamine
    Apparently TB also got a PTBNL and that player is Shane Baz, the Pirates #4 prospect and 1st round selection from the 2017 draft.

    Schoop at SS, Shaw at 2B, Moose at 3B and Aguilar at 1B. This may be the single most awful defensive infield in decades. I'm sure the pitchers are all going to love that.
  9. Tryptamine
    Brewers are in on Schoop and perhaps Gausman. I imagine one of Corbin Burnes or Keston Hiura has to be involved and I couldn't be happier.

    This was pretty much my first thought. How do we turn this into Kela.
  11. Tryptamine
    Would have had to be Lange or a healthy Alzolay to match Tate and I wouldn't have been thrilled with either. There's a ton of cheaper options out there.

    He's playing as well as he ever will. He's not particularly great on the bases, he has average power at best and his average is being hoisted up by a crazy high babip that shouldn't exist for a guy who hits as groundballs as he does. Yeah he's great defensively, but the offense is a mirage and if someone wants to pay for that mirage then I think most of us are willing to let them.

    This is going to be a game where Theo has to go down and apologize to the players on the field just like after that Matusz disaster a few years back.
  14. Tryptamine
    Apparently the Cubs are in on Jeurys Familia. I wonder if a Wheeler+Familia package is feasible without touching the MLB squad.
  15. Tryptamine
    Ah, the good old extend me or trade me ultimatum.
  16. Tryptamine
    Why do we want a guy who already has a partially torn UCL like Otani did when he came over? Degrom and Syndergaard absolutely, but I'll pass on giving up assets for Lugo.
  17. Tryptamine
    Not that I was particularly worried to begin with, but I feel safe in saying no FA of any real substance is going to be joining the Cardinals anytime soon unless they either overpay or their market is completely gone.

    I'd like to see those peripherals at AA before getting too excited. A lot of our guys seem to succeed at A+ and fall off after promotion to Tennessee.
  19. Tryptamine
    There was a speculation piece written a couple days ago that the Orioles might make Bundy available in a trade. He's sporting a 3.81ERA and his peripherals are just so so, but I wonder how much all of that is dragged down by one horrific start where he went 0IP 5H 7ER 2BB 4HR. Since then he's put up a line of 49IP 31H 9.55k/9 2.57bb/9 2.57ERA 4.02FIP 3.82xFIP.SIERA likes him quite a bit 3.58. I wonder if a Happ led package could get it done.
  20. Tryptamine
    I mean damn, Theo must be completely sauced because that is just a god awful day 1. I don't even know if that's fixable in the next two days.
  21. Tryptamine
    Thus far this draft has Wilken trying to be the smartest guy in the room written all over it.
  22. Tryptamine
    At this point if it's not Rocker with one of these comp picks then I'm going to feel pretty damn awful after day 1.
  23. Tryptamine
    Rank 145......that has to be someone massively overslot coming right?
  24. Tryptamine
    I wonder if this is the dagger in the Mejia behind the plate option in Cleveland. The doubts have continued to grow despite the 80 grade arm.
  25. Tryptamine
    Lemahieu College bat who squares everything up and settles as an above average defensive 2B A guy that's like a 1.5fWAR player outside of Coors?
