    A reality show. Cubs Bachelor. Kris Bryant has to decide to give a rose to Anthony or Bryce.
  2. Aaron Kennelly
    Get it done.
  3. Aaron Kennelly
    It's clearly Pat Venditte.
  4. Aaron Kennelly
    I'll worry more when Bryce renames his dog Dodger. But this is still kinda infuriating.

    That's a good trade for the Cardinals. It's not going to matter. But a good trade, nonetheless.

    I like it. Obviously the main issue is with luxury tax implications. But if we get anything out of him in the playoffs this year, this deal becomes a great value.

    I like it. The years and $ are right. I'm not too worried about us loading up on guys with high upside that comes with questionable health and durability. We coasted to 92 wins and a division title after Eddie Butler made 11 starts last year. I'm not too worried about missed time dragging us down. Give me the high-level talent and hope they are still standing come playoff time.

    The Cardinals did the same thing in their pitch to Stanton:

    That's a really good looking squad. Depth in the pen. Solidifies the bottom of the rotation in a big way. And the same abundance of talent in the field. The dynasty is back on!

    That's closer to knowing his name then Javy will ever get. Javy must like fWAR more than bWAR.

    Another instance of the Cubs targeting a curveball guy, too.

    Mostly the home/road stuff you just posted. Coors is horrible to pitch in and it’s hard to take much away from why he struggled there. But he’s been great away from Coors. Also what ConstableRabbit said about all the grounders, particularly with our infield defense. And he gets a lot of weak contact too. I posted some numbers of his from Statcast home/road splits a while back, and he got way more weak contact away from Coors. Seems like he probably uses movement/stuff to get weak contact. But he doesn’t have the same stuff at Coors so he doesn’t get weak contact. His average exit velocity was like 2 mph lower on the road. And he got a lot more lazy fly balls at higher launch angles on the road. I love this pick up and think Chatwood will flourish outside of Coors. Also when I wrote an article on Hendricks looking to prove he was a true FIP-beater, Chatwood was on the short list of other guys that legitimately got weak contact.

    it's a one time signing bonus. a difference of 2.7 M or whatever can easily be recuped/washed out in endorsements, even in baseball. you really think he's going to base his decision on 2.7M when he's passing up 100+M just bc he can't wait? not to mention the fact that he included all those teams in the penalty and eliminated teams that had big pools (when he didn't need to eliminate anyone) either way, what an odd choice in teams if bowden actually knows anything: [tweet] [/tweet] Yeah, if $1 million meant that much, then he wouldn't be coming over now and he certainly wouldn't have included us in his final list. These teams are desperate. They are going to do whatever they possibly can to try to get him. And they are going to come up short.

    A.J. Preller traded for Matt Kemp.
  19. Aaron Kennelly
    lmfao, what? no. signing ohtani literally allows us to do the opposite of that That whole paragraph is so bad. “If the Cubs hit a grand slam and land a potential superstar for nothing, then they’d lose all leverage in any trade talks and have to settle for a bad deal to add pitching they no longer need.”
  20. Aaron Kennelly
    I guess we can cross former Cub Chris Valaika off the list of people to take to the presentation.
  21. Aaron Kennelly
    Ohtani is coming here because we're the Cubs and these things just happen for us now. It's also why Bryce will be joining him next year.
  22. Aaron Kennelly
    Not a southpaw, sorry. Can't speak for Duke, though. Reverse splits guy, maybe? And where the horsefeathers is Duke? He's disappeared.

    It's all so bizarre. The story on its own of Ryan manipulating these people isn't that strange. It sounds like any old catfishing story -- except that the catfisher was a teenage girl, which is also very odd, as Sofa was saying. The thing that drives this over the top is the baseball writing dynamic being added in. This person actually became a baseball writer and was writing for national publications. And the catfishing was happening on the side of that.

    I'm definitely out of touch here. It all seems very strange to me. And it really sucks that these women were emotionally abused and deceived. I don't want to victim blame. And they are certainly victims. "Ryan Schultz" is deranged person that took advantage of innocent people. Everything that I've read about "his" interactions have been vague, though. So I don't even know what really was going on. I'd probably find it more sick and disgusting than... weird (?) if I knew exactly what was going on. But I just find it incredibly odd that this person created a sleazy, married, middle-aged man to start these relationships.
