    12 of their 17 series going in to the ASB are vs .500 or better teams and like 3 of the sub .500 team series are vs the Reds who are due for a bit of a bounce.

    The Bulls shouldn’t be making a move like this yet, imo. Conley is owed a ton and like 32 with injury history. They aren’t a Conley away. Take a guy at 7, keep trying to figure out what exactly they got in the younger guys and maybe add a middle priced FA or two. Best case things break right and it’s a top ~5 seed in the east, worst case it’s missed playoffs again and try the lottery. They aren’t close to contending (short of being able to recruit a big FA), I don’t see why a Conley move makes sense.

    Ah yes, Vic’s bat will certainly fix things.
  4. Cubswin11
    No way after just signing him to an extension and him starting the season off well is that going to happen. Maybe IL him since he has a broken horsefeathering toe. Or at least figure out this roster so he’s only starting vs LHP.

    What an effort to lose that game, my god. Go eat some Skyline you fucks.
  6. Cubswin11
    Neither does the bullpen, thanks to Joe and Theo
  7. Cubswin11
    This is a fireable offense by Joe or someone in the FO
  8. Cubswin11
    I think the reason being that he expects to be back at like Day 6, thus not wasting four games in which he could have played. It’s May, IL him if it’s a 6 day thing.

    And a simple double switch literally keeps any of these idiots from throwing, but Joe gonna Joe. Or Theo just keeps letting injured dudes take up 25 man spots
  10. Cubswin11
    horsefeathers off Joe and horsefeathers off Theo
  11. Cubswin11
    About time

    Seriously why wasn’t Bote or Almora double switched out for Monty? Monty isn’t a matchup or splits guy, he’s a long guy. Joe either galaxy brained the horsefeathers out of that or Descalso/Rizzo are so hurt and Theo is handcuffing the horsefeathers out of the roster right now.
  13. Cubswin11
    Can’t do something smart like double switch Almora out or anything. Smart move Joe, also sweet bench Theo.

    It's right up there with, "we used to shift a ton and it worked great, but then inexplicably we knocked it WAY down for reasons," as the new market inefficiency. Well assuming you're talking about 2016, we were 29th in shifts that year at 4.6%, only ahead of the Marlins, who I'm guessing didn't even teach the concept. Since then we've gone 29th, 28th, and this year we're at 23rd, 14.2%. Astros are somehow at 50% for the year. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/visuals/team-positioning?teamId=117&venue=home&firstBase=0&shift=1&batSide=&season=2016 We shifted a lot in 2015, did we not? It seems 2016 we just went super defense so it didn’t matter, but as things slipped by the pitching/defense it doesn’t seem like we’ve adapted by trying to shift more, like David said.
  15. Cubswin11
    They pretty much said Monty is going to do this moving forward.

    Nah, he’ll play tomorrow and probably tweak, sit out Friday then try and play the next 2 weeks before finally being IL’d. That’s how Gryzlo rolls.
  18. Cubswin11
    Get Happ up here you idiots, that 4-9 is a black horsefeathering hole. Or get Trader Dipoto on the phone and work out a Haniger trade.
  19. Cubswin11
    It’s been talked about before, but when really would’ve been the right time to trade Schwarber and/or Russell?? It made no sense to trade Schwarbs after 2015, they thought he could still catch at least ~40 games a year and then he blew his knee out in 2016. He never really had value after that. And Russell (from the baseball side), he was a useful player and had some big moments in the WS run (at 22-23), you don’t trade him after that. Then he just fell off/got hurt/turned in to human garbage and this was still when Javy was a huge unknown on the infield. We can be upset they didn’t turn out to a better outcome but the window to trade them was small (if it ever existed) and they were probably right at the time to be essentially “untouchable.”

    Is that good?

    Mitch Haniger Or Rendon and either Treinen, Doolittle or Will Smith, please
  23. Cubswin11
    Yeah I was thinking the same. I’m thinking it almost has to be an illness, unfortunately, of him or someone close in the family.

    Javy has Almora speed out of the box tonight, that’s 2 GBs I thought he was easily beating
