    Great post, davell. As you said, it's probably still too early to grade. We've seen practically no dividends so far. But, all it would take would be for a Dylan Cease to really blow up and turn into a big deal for everything before it to be wiped away. And even if it were only, say, Pierce Johnson helping us out of the pen for awhile, I'll take that, too. I think we'll start to see some return on investment, soon, though.

    Dave Parker?
  3. Aaron Kennelly
    If we never saw it go in the water, can we be sure it ever landed?

    Through 4, Cease has given up 1 hit, walked 2, and struck out 6.

    I forgot I hated the Pirates. Back to hating them for a couple days until I forget they exist again.

    I also like how pissed they are that people are writing books about the 2016 Cubs, when they assuredly soaked up every word in the Buzz Bissinger book about their crotchety, fossilized wino.

    Well it would be great if we found Mike Trout. Trout can take over Szczur's role when he becomes a free agent.

    Also, Jon Lester is ageless and will continue posting 5-win seasons every year until he's 50. And Eddie Butler is going to win the 2019 Cy Young. We've got it all covered already.

    Yeah, if Arrieta is gone, it likely means Yu Darvish or Johnny Cueto was signed in his place. They aren't just going to let Arrieta walk and roll with Mike Montgomery as our third starter.

    I'm convinced that we could take literally any pitcher with a 50.0% ground ball rate and plug him into the rotation and he'd go, like, 16-6 with a 3.10 ERA. Seriously, what's Jon Niese up to these days?

    Over/under 100 career WAR for Albert Almora?

    We deserve to win every game because we are better than every team. And there was some stupid horsefeathers that happened tonight. We did play like horsefeathers. But we also had two dongs taken away by the wind. And some weird, stupid baseball stuff happened. But, our older starting pitchers look fantastic. Heyward's chipping in. We just need to get the bats going, which they will.
  13. Aaron Kennelly
    Or not.
  14. Aaron Kennelly
    We've got this.
  15. Aaron Kennelly
    Candelario with three doubles, a triple, and a walk in 5 PA.
  16. Aaron Kennelly
    Of the three starting pitchers who've made two starts, Arrieta's 11.08 K/9 is the lowest. That's a pretty good way to start the year.

    Time to small ball, fellas.
  18. Aaron Kennelly
    I did, too. Especially right off the bat. Once I saw it was headed to center my excitement was tempered immediately.
  19. Aaron Kennelly
    I've got Rizzo doing it. Either one is fine, though. I'm not picky. That right there showed that it's gonna have to be Schwarber. He's the only human being capable of it.
  20. Aaron Kennelly
    Schwarbs is just gonna have to man up and blast one out of here.
  21. Aaron Kennelly
    Dammit
  22. Aaron Kennelly
    Am I allowed to hate a member of the 2016 Cubs?
  23. Aaron Kennelly
    I love all of this. They should have a ceremony before every game. Just a year-long party, while we celebrate before the game and then go kick everyone's asses afterwards.
  24. Aaron Kennelly
    Put it in every thread on all the message boards for every other team, as well.
  25. Aaron Kennelly
    The logic over at GRB is unassailable. "They're only good because of a bunch of early draft picks." "If becoming great were inevitable when you draft early, then the Twins should be a powerhouse." "Well, it's not just the drafting, it's also the tanking, and using money to buy free agents." "Hmm... it sounds to me like you are admitting that Theo Epstein is amazing at everything his job entails: drafting, trading. and signing players."
