    Seiya and Happ hitting 2 and 3 is rough
  2. UMFan83
    horsefeathers are you serious! Missed a HR by a foot
  3. UMFan83
    horsefeathers chipping away, lets make it 6-4 right here. And then get 6 more runs so we can only be down a couple after Stroman pitches the 4th.
  4. UMFan83
    Season ERA now 3.85 for Stroman ERA over the last 7 starts is now 9.00 Runs allowed in those 7 starts: 6, 5, 4, 1, 5, 7, 6
  5. UMFan83
    OK that's one back
  6. UMFan83
    ERA over his last 7 starts: 8.47 Stroman is tanking his performance so that he's forced to pick up his option for next year. THATS how much he wants to be a Cub
  7. UMFan83
    On Stroman sucks
  8. UMFan83
    3 straight hitters Stroman gets to 2 strikes on and they end up with a hit. Not putting these guys away
  9. UMFan83
    Votto could be hitting 0-250 for the season and I’d assume he’s going to mash the Cubs. Certified Cub killer

    Cuas has reverse splits this year, seems to do better vs LHP Side conversation but does it seem like there are a lot more reverse splits hitters/pitchers than there have been in the past? Maybe I’m just noticing it more but seems like I see it a lot
  12. UMFan83
    Damn, dude is good enough, doesn’t need an extra 4 inches of strike zone
  13. UMFan83
    Wow optioned to AAA? Figured he’d be someone they’d have in the majors right away
  14. UMFan83
    Edit: Fudge, I was beaten, do what you want with this. I know this is already being talked about in the deadline thread but figured a seperate topic since its a transaction the Cubs made. I'll miss you Nelson, thanks for that grand slam against Seattle.
  15. UMFan83
    Rucker is already in Iowa. I don’t know about Fulmer, they seem to like him and he’s largely fixed many of his early season issues, though control is a concern. I would guess someone like Kay, Assad or Palencia. Brad Boxberger (remember him?) has already resumed throwing and will take up another roster spot, but not sure how far away he is.
  16. UMFan83
    I think I read that the Cubs were like $5m under the luxury tax. Candelario has a contract for $5m. Does that put them over, or are we only looking at adding 2 months worth of $5m for lux tax purposes?
  17. UMFan83
    Can he get here in the next hour?
  18. UMFan83
    I mentioned this in the other thread but Candelario's 3.1 fWAR this year would be second on the Cubs (position players and pitchers). While historically he hasn't been anything special defensively, for whatever reason this year he's grading highly. Good move and low cost.
  19. UMFan83
    I'm guessing the Cubs don't want to eat $7 million next year by getting rid of Mancini, and hope he can bounce back next season but who knows. He's not exactly making a compelling case right now.
  20. UMFan83
    Yeah, it would probably be Amaya sadly. Don't think they're completely ready to give up on Wisdom yet, doubt they'd just cut Tauchman loose either, Mancini (and Barnhart - another name) are signed through next season, and Madrigal has been hitting well enough to stay on the roster. I wouldn't be shocked if it was Wisdom though. Certainly acquiring another 3B makes his roster spot tenuous
  21. UMFan83
    Can't remember if Loxas has sources but he tweeted:
  22. UMFan83
    I know, just letting you know there is/was a broader conversation going on about it in another thread if you wanted to check it out. Unfortunately I'm not lazy enough to respond to you but I am too lazy to find the thread lol. It was a discussion within the last 2 days.
  23. UMFan83
    To add to the report: Kap said it would likely cost the Cubs "2 mid-level prospects" for Candelario
  24. UMFan83
    more Candelario reports:
  25. UMFan83
    Yeah I don't understand why people hate it prior to knowing the cost of acquiring him. He provides offense and defense at a major position of need. His 3.1 fWAR this year would be 2nd on the Cubs behind only Dansby Swanson who is at 3.3. His splits are worse vs. LHP this year but over his career they are better than his splits against RHP
