  1. Edit: Wrong thread
  2. They look terrible against Netherlands tonight
  3. How concerned should we be that Ian Happ is hitting .202/.329/.318/.647 since mid-May? (237 PA).
  4. I know Stroman wants to stay here but he doesn’t have to torpedo his trade value to get what he wants. His ERA has gone up a full run over 5 starts
  5. Also seeing rumors on twitter that there is another Pac-Whatever team strongly considering a move, a "non-4 corners state" school so basically Washington, Washington State, Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford or Cal. Not sure if they are also targeting Big 12 or another school
  6. Barnhart has been better with the bat of late I guess (.799 OPS in his last 36 PA!) and understand they like his work behind the plate, but hate when he's in the lineup 2 days after an off day for a critical game especially when they have a catcher who is hitting much better than him this season and is seemingly appreciated behind the plate as well.
  7. Alternate way of looking at that is the Cubs can get to 4.5 games out of the WC at a minimum with a win today. DBacks also losing 1-0 but its early. They'd also need the Phillies to lose tonight (I think) to finish the night 4 games out.
  8. FWIW I've read multiple reports that the Sox are close to trading Lynn and have already gotten as far as exchanging names with the Rays. There's certainly a chance he does not end up starting tonight.
  9. Funny, I watched some of the CSN rebroadcast while I was playing TOTK last night and earlier in the game Benetti was talking about how the Cubs have everything to play for still this season while the Sox do not.
  10. It's officially "look too much into training camp performance" season and I starts off positively
  11. Cole Kmet getting paid. I like Cole but interesting choice for first Bears player extended this season.
  12. The logic here completely makes sense, not disagreeing with that, but I find it funny that the pitcher who is publicly lobbying to stay here and get an extension is the one likely to be traded and the hitter who signed here for 1 year to improve his market value and has Scott Boras as an agent is the one more likely to stay. Again, I get it especially with the QO on the table for Bellinger, but its funny on the surface.
  13. The Cubs have been on a heater ever since PSD users started showing up. Can't be a coincidence right?
  14. Diamondbacks and Giants both win close games meaning the Cubs do not gain any ground in the WC tonight but do pull within 6 in the division with the Brewers loss. Unlike last night when every single WC contender playing lost, today every WC contender playing won except the Marlins (Reds, Giants, DBacks, Phillies, Padres sort of)
  15. *looks around for TT*. They’d probably do a better job of maximizing his value if they just didn’t pitch him.
  16. Damn, sucks for Kyle’s night to end like that. He looked really solid the first 6 innings
  17. Everyone laughed when I suggested that option might get picked up a couple of months ago
  18. Phillies came back in the 9th to beat the Orioles. They will need the Diamondbacks or Giants to lose tonight if they want to gain a game in the WC today I believe (and the Cubs finish off the win of course)
  19. Lmao Mastrobuoni was clearly off the bag and out but the White Sox decline to challenge. Have they just completely given up?
  20. In NLC/WC related news: Phillies losing 3-2 in the 8th Brewers/Reds are scoreless in 4th Marlins lost to the Rays Giants, Padres and Diamondbacks play later on
  21. I haven’t paid much attention to the white Sox but one thing I keep hearing about is how great Jake Burger is. I look at he’s hitting .214 with a .770ish OPS. Thats pretty good and he has really nice power but not what I was expecting.
  22. Complicated legacy. Maybe complicated is the wrong term. Completely overhauled a dying hockey franchise and revitalized the fanbase. But cannot overlook his role in the off the ice issues that marred the Hawks 3 Cups. Ultimately that cover up and his annoyed response about being done talking about it will be his legacy
  23. They must have been busy birthing that person while the Jags were scoring a TD with :29 left to beat the Bears by 1 point (assuming he was born in 1998 and not 2004 when they lost 22-3)
