    Someone said in the general baseball thread that the AL thing isn’t true anymore, just goes by reverse record. Not sure if it’s true but since it’s more beneficial towards the Cubs I’ll choose to believe that.

    Not until Thursday right? Burnes and Woodruff might be able to get us a little higher in the priority list, though I’d prefer they didn’t lol

    I mentioned this in the other thread. Can Jed convince Tom to go over the lux tax? I'm assuming grabbing any of these players would put us over. Of course its possible Jed himself won't want to cross that threshold as he knows it will limit their moves in future years. But horsefeathers this is like mana from Heaven for the Cubs. Desperate need of some solid starting pitching and a lefthanded reliever and the Angels just dangled them in front of us. Seems too good to be true.

    Peterman was cut today and will likely end up on the practice squad as QB3. PJ Walker was cut the other day. I suppose there was still some crazy possibility where the Bears made Peterman the backup and today's news ensures that won't happen. Colt McCoy and Carson Wentz are still out there though. Also I feel obligated to point out that Colin Kaepernick is available as well.

    Umm....I probably wouldn't hate taking a shot at several of those players, particularly the pitchers. Unfortunately to grab any of them we'd have to take on their salary which would push us over the tax line I think.

    Cuas went on bereavement list, Anthony Kay (groan) called up

    Yes and with a rookie QB and no 1st round pick there is absolutely no incentive for them to tank so they are going to be playing to win all season including the end when other teams are going for draft position or preparing for the playoffs

    You can't make this stuff up. What in the world
  9. UMFan83
    We always seem to hit Burnes well during opening week and then he shuts us down any other time he faces us.

    Here are the Cubs weighted values against cutters since 8/1: Hoerner 1.5 Wisdom 1.4 Happ 0.5 Morel 0.0 Bellinger 0.0 Amaya -0.1 Candelario -0.4 Suzuki -0.5 Madrigal -0.5 Tauchman -0.7 Swanson -2.5 Gomes -2.9

    I literally even started posting notes on what he said a few hours ago lol

    The sad thing is that if the Cubs get swept, they are guaranteed to lose all their WC cushion as the Giants (2 GB) and Reds (2 GB) are currently playing a series. One of those teams is going to win twice to pull even with the Cubs. My suggested solution is for the Cubs to not get swept.
  15. UMFan83
    This is a little misleading since 2 of his relief appearances were essentially treated as starts. As a 1 inning reliever he has 5 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 K
  16. UMFan83
    Yeah, I just think the Brewers are red hot right now. Tough to beat teams when they are playing this well. I thought we outplayed them in that series in July despite splitting. Just a bad time to be playing them.

    Only 5 games out with Burnes and Woodruff looming, its still good, its still good

    My wife is at the game with her company and is flipping out that Bob Odenkirk is in the suite next to her and sitting literally 5 feet from where she is. Trying to think of the funniest thing she could shout at him that would resonate more than shooting the finger guns at him or saying “Better Call Saul!” . Maybe “Good thing 24 is the highest number so there’s a cap to how many runs Taillon can give up” ^^ this is why I don’t approach celebrities ^^
  19. UMFan83
    Is he? Seems like the Cubs are hitting him fairly well. but anyways getting weak contact is exactly what has kept Miley in the league for so long so not sure why you’d be surprised
  20. UMFan83
    Also the Cubs have 5 of their own, but only 1 has fallen for a hit (the HR)
  21. UMFan83
    The Brewers have put 12 balls in play today with a .400 xBA or higher. And we're in the 3rd inning

    Hey another run for the brewers
  24. UMFan83
    Does the goodness of Dansby, Bellinger, Merryweather, Fulmer, Tauchman erase the badness of Smyly, Mancini, Hosmer, Taillon, Barnhart? Probably but damn
  25. UMFan83
    Well that erases one Taillon horsefeathers up
