    You have an ultra mobile QB and choose to call a run up the gut on 3rd and 4th. I just don't get it.

    The Orioles are pulling away in the fecal league standings. Today marked their 18th loss in a row, their 2nd loss streak of 14 or more this season. Their record now stands at 38-85 good for a .308 winning percentage. That puts them on pace for a 50-112 season. This following a 54-108 record in 2019 and 47-115 in 2018.

    Yup, this defense is really impressive

    Bears D getting eviscerated by Trubisky. Not a good look.
  5. Tryptamine
    Davies is not good.

    I don't care what your perspective on prospect value is, 24th is just wrong. It's going to look even more foolish when the Cubs have 5 top 100 guys, 2 of them top 50, come mid-season lists in '22.
  7. Tryptamine
    Up to the 8th pick. The remaining games with the Twins, Royals and Rockies are going to be pretty big.
  8. Tryptamine
    Pretty funny that right now the #1(Arozarena) and #2(A.Garcia) odds on favorites to win AL ROY are former cardinals. The #3 in the NL, Wisdom, is also a former Card. How things have changed over the last 10 years.
  9. Tryptamine
    Only 2 games out of that 5th spot already. Maybe I was too quick to say the 5th pick was best case scenario.
  10. Tryptamine
    I'm starting to think 120 losses might be optimistic with this team over a full year.
  11. Tryptamine
    I think I'd have to be convinced that this team isn't worse than the 2012 squad
  12. Tryptamine
    I figured 5th pick was the best case scenario, but this team has got me dreaming even bigger.

    Am I ok with calling "someone" out for racism? Yes. Obviously. Who exactly was the victim here? While not directly named, there was a fan accused of repeatedly shouting a racist term at a player. There are videos of that fan, and people can figure out who he is. While perhaps a bit odd that he was so intent on getting a mascot's attention, he didn't deserve to be labeled a racist. Again, get the facts straight before issuing public statements. I'd virtually guarantee he has been identified by internet nuts and I'm sure, even after he was proven innocent, that he's being threatened and harassed.

    this is pretty good overall but i still kinda hate how uninspiring 1B/DH remains; have to think you can aim a little higher on potential there..with likely DH, Josh Bell becomes a good target or maybe Luke Voit Anthony Rizzo idk I kind of like the idea of Mancini if you trade for him and extend him at like 3/45. I don't think he'd take much to acquire and while he's bad in the outfield, he's ok defensively at 1B and you can expect him to give you a 115-120 wRC+.

    Let's go Cubs, sneak into a top 8 draft pick.
  16. Tryptamine
    The return is looking promising, but I'm still pissed that the FO had their hand forced into trading Yu simply because the Ricketts wanted to shed payroll. The circumstances definitely suck, but it's starting to look like a really strong return and with Darvish starting to trend down I don't think we'd get as much value anymore.
  17. Tryptamine
    Hmm, this is getting me actually interested in watching a few games this season: same with the Bears and Fields. The Blackhawks are still dead to me.
  18. Tryptamine
    I had completely forgotten about it until today, but the Cubs still have no GM right? It's just Hoyer as president and 3 others as Asst GMs, correct? I wonder when the last time a team went a full season without a GM happened.
  19. Tryptamine
    Every day that passes I feel better and better about the Darvish trade.
  20. Tryptamine
    how/what did he hurt? Shoulder surgery.
  21. Tryptamine
    Yes but they have 5-6 guys in the 100-150 range.
  22. Tryptamine
    who? PCA the prospect.
  23. Tryptamine
    I'm bummed he's hurt, but without that injury he isn't available. He would have safely been a top 100 guy.
  24. Tryptamine
    Yeah I think we're getting thrown off by the outdated fv and prospect rank. One article said they'd put him at 40, maybe even 45. At 45 that would greatly alter the perception of this trade.
  25. Tryptamine
    My first reaction was this is awful, but what is going on with Kilian? How can he be absolutely destroying A+ and AA, but barely be a top 30 guy. He has struck out 96 guys in 84 2/3 while walking 9. We're lacking some kind of information.
