    Vogelbach is not in their top 10? Seems strange This is the first time in awhile that I've seen a Cubs prospect list and felt like it was a bit light. Gleyber and Eloy are really good prospects but far away. Our number 6 guy hasnt played this year, number 7 guy hasn't played above short season and might have another significant arm issue.

    Yes it was widely reported 10 days ago that he would sign there.

    Hmm, great question. I think there's a difference between "out/hit" and "hit/home run". This is what I mean...the ball has to land in your glove on a fly for it to be a fly out. Like you said, you cannot catch a ball for an out that hits off the wall and into your glove without hitting the ground. So basically as soon as the ball hits the wall, you cannot record a fly out, it will be a hit (assuming a miracle force out). Now that we've established that this is a hit, you have to determine whether the ball lands in the field of play or is a home run. I'm pretty sure I've seen balls hit off the top of the wall and go over for a HR. I've also seen balls that hit off the very top of the wall and bounce back into play for a regular hit. We've also seen plays like a ball hitting Jose Canseco on the head and bouncing over for a HR. So my guess based on this logic is that, however improbable it is, a ball that hits off the wall, off a person and over the wall should be a home run. I have no idea if that's right or if there is even a rule for this, but that would be my guess. Edit: AKA what Banedon said in about 200 less words

    Hope Fowler is activated

    Who plays in the majors sooner Shelby or Swanson?

    If I had to bring one college rule over to the NBA, it would be making the "bonus" 1-and-1, and then super bonus for 2 shots. Not sure how they'd make that work with the NBA being quarters vs. halves in college but I love 1-and-1's

    That sounds like an awful idea. Despite your well reasoned argument, I remain unconvinced. I don't know, I like being able to move the ball up to midcourt with a timeout in the last minutes of games. I hate in college where a team down by a basket with less than 2 seconds left has virtually no shot at tying the game. Also I don't want games decided by a team not being able to inbound the ball. I get that the teams deserve to lose if they cant run an inbounds play, or if they are trailing with not enough time left to get upcourt, but being able to call a TO to benefit makes the game more exciting. I hate how the last minutes take forever in the NBA but I think its a necessary evil.

    Darvish vs Hammel doesn't seem fair
  9. UMFan83
    Saw his quote in a story about the Nats. Cubs hate is strong around the MLB
  10. UMFan83
    Beautiful trolling @Cubs
  11. UMFan83
    Any updates on Cease?
  12. UMFan83
    So the Bulls filled their 'short guy with irrational confidence' roster spot today, signing Isaiah Canaan to a 2 year 2.2m deal (2nd year team option) and I actually kind of like the move.
  13. UMFan83
    Sucks that of the bullpen castoffs from last year l, the one we let go is on the All Star team and the 2 we kept were Cahill and Richard
  14. UMFan83
    Figures. The only 3 years the NL has won the ASG since it counts are 3 years the Cubs were purposely tanking and had no chance at benefiting. But 2003, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2015 and 3 outs from 2016 all AL wins
  15. UMFan83
    Another shorter than expected outing for Lester
  16. UMFan83
    Yeah Seager should have started. K and a bad error
  17. UMFan83
  18. UMFan83
    Hope Lester gets an inning. Saw Jake in the dugout so I'm guessing he's not pitching
  19. UMFan83
    Nobody gets 3 ABs except the hometown guy I guess
  20. UMFan83
    Guess the Cubs are done at the plate Would have been cool to see Bryant HR off the other White Sox pitcher
  21. UMFan83
    Yeah get those shitty Cubs out there quickly right Collins
  22. UMFan83
    This is gonna be awesome. Either cubs fans get last laugh for addy or NL fans bitch at Addy being up in that situation.
  23. UMFan83
    Kris Bryant can't hit good pitching in big moments

    No I'm going with the other catchers resent the relationship between Rizzo and Ross.
