  1. He does some really smart and really dumb things. He just has to learn from them.
  2. Definitely needs driveline
  3. I would love to be in the division with the Cubs. You have a team that makes gobs of money but won’t spend, they don’t even bother bidding for the high-end free agents, they think their minor leaguers will contribute more than they ever will, and they almost never pull off big deadline deals. The Brewers gotta be laughing so hard.
  4. “There just weren’t enough quality starters on the market, so we went for the cheap one with a recent velocity dip.” -Carter Hawkins
  5. Carter Hawkins was just on 670 and said there just wasn’t that much really good starting pitching available this year and that’s the reason why the Cubs didn’t trade for any
  6. Caleb and a lot of the starters not playing on Sunday. Seems odd.
  7. It depends. If somehow this slump continues the entire second half, possibly. But I only see that happening if he’s playing through an injury and that does make evaluating him tough. Tucker is too good of a player to play this poorly for this long unless he’s hurt. My fear is that more than once the Cubs have let players play through injuries rather than IL them and that is happening again.
  8. He’s already basically said he likes Chicago. If the Cubs are the highest bidder, he’ll sign even if the Cubs fall apart in the second half. The issue is that the Cubs almost certainly won’t be the highest bidder.
  9. I don’t understand this logic. Tucker is a big part of the problem right now. He is the scenery.
  10. That’s why they kept Caissie. The Cubs don’t even bid on star players let alone outbid others.
  11. Jed and Carter will ramble on and go into tons of overextended analysis about how they did the right thing at the trade deadline…even though they did the wrong thing. Jed is just afraid of making a mistake and when you are afraid to make a mistake you risk being mediocre.
  12. There’s something wrong with the Cubs minor league development. They let bad habits develop like PCA’s plate discipline and Shaw’s huge leg kick. Those should be addressed before they are exposed in the big leagues. With that said, Pete had an OPS of .984 in August so his sky isn’t falling.
