    We stinks
  3. dfnowak
    81 wins, some quality players but not enough are stars/impactful.
  4. dfnowak
    On track for a top 5 pick in next year’s draft!
  5. dfnowak
    Marcano, Suwinski and Miliano. Would’ve expected more with extra year of control with Frazier.
  6. dfnowak
    At what point does Ross start getting some heat for this lackluster play?
  7. dfnowak
    I didn’t watch many postgame shows last year on Marquee...I assume they sugarcoat everything?
  8. dfnowak
    That’s game. I’ll go watch the Lakers instead.

    Is this one of those games where Cubs better score enough early b/c Gio Gonzalez comes in to piggyback Lopez? And they’ve made Gio look like Cy Young the last couple of years.

    Does this mean the Braves won't be interested in KB anymore?

    I don't understand this entirely, but shows how the 2020 CBT payroll is determined (slightly different than Brian's numbers): https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/chicago-cubs/payroll/ Not quite sure how Total AAV/Payroll is calculated (about $11M more than total payroll), but estimated player benefits and minor league contracts are included ($17.5M total) in the determination of the total comp. balance payroll.

    Maybe this isn't the right topic to post this under...By my math, there's aprox. $75.6M coming off the books from last year, which includes players no longer on the roster and any salary decreases (i.e. Lester). And there's aprox. $41.8M in additional salary, which includes salary increases due to both contracts and expected arbitration increases (as projected by MLBTR) and all of the minor signings. So, that leaves approx. $33.8M decrease in money spent on salary from last year. Is there something I'm missing? Is there another reason other than they don't want to spend money for that amount of decrease in spending???

    Since the Cubs won't spend any money, what the hell is their bullpen going to look like? Kimbrel, Wick, Wieck, Ryan, Maples, Norwood, Winkler??? Should be a fun year...
  14. dfnowak
    Call up Hultzen...stop wasting whatever bullets he has left in Iowa. Needed a good lefty in the 8th there.
  15. dfnowak
    I know the offense is a problem, but... Hendricks 5 2 0 2 5, 0 HBP Bullpen 4 2 3 4 2, 3 HBP The bullpen is a bigger problem
  16. dfnowak
    Or, I don’t know....use your $43M closer???
  17. dfnowak
    Because there's so many other good bullpen options. Kimbrel???
  18. dfnowak
    Pat and Ron made it sound like he had some words for the home plate umpire after he struck out. Got thrown out immediately.
  19. dfnowak
    Rizzo kicked out, bullpen in to pitch the 5th...this isn't going to end well, is it?
  20. dfnowak
    Why is Baez bunting?
  21. dfnowak
    How many straight 2 inning saves does Iglesias have against us? Feels like we never hit him.
  22. dfnowak
    They’re not winning another game until after the break, am I right?
  23. dfnowak
    Groundout, walk, pop up double missed by a catcher, groundout, lineout. He was ok. He was brought in to get K’s
  24. dfnowak
    Oh hey! Descalso is pitching! How hilarious!
  25. dfnowak
    Or how about using Kyle Ryan to face righties? That blunder was the difference IMO
