    And allowed a grand slam in the 2nd inning. Yikes final line: 1.2 IP, 8 H, 8 ER, 2 BB, 2 K

    Seyia's numbers are trending towards Fukudome with less OBP and slightly more slugging. Different offensive environment though as Kosuke had a sub-100 OPS+ and Seyia is at 110. Still, not quite what I was hoping from the signing so far. His wRC+ and wOBA are below his pre-season projections and his K % is much higher.

    Smart to do this before our trip to Toronto in a couple weeks.

    I believe he's 3.1 IP away after today

    what is this from I saw it on Reddit but its from ESPN: https://www.espn.com/nfl/insider/insider/story/_/id/34298735/projecting-nfl-best-worst-offensive-lines-ranking-all-32-teams-pass-run-block-win-rates-2022

    Thought this was interesting:

    FG ranked all the prospects traded at the deadline and threw Willson's future comp pick in there. Cubs additions: 12. James Wesneski 31. Contreras Comp Pick 33. Ben Brown 70. Saul Gonzalez (McKinstry not a prospect) https://blogs.fangraphs.com/ranking-the-prospects-traded-during-the-2022-deadline/

    What a stupid extension that was. its hilarious that the only extensions they were able to get done were with Hendricks and....randomly David Bote after a couple of ok months.

    Really makes me wonder how different the season would be if we didn't have our top 4 starters miss extensive time. I don't think we'd be playoff contenders or anything but might be closer to a .500 team.

    I'd like to see Miley come back and have some strong starts to end the season. Hopefully being injured most of the year has depressed his value and both sides will say 'ok whatever' and re-up for another 1-2 seasons at a reasonable price. He seemed to like being here the short time he was healthy and he pitched pretty damn well.

    Mets fans are livid at the Cubs for not accepting their crappy package of non-prospects. That alone makes keeping Willson worthwhile. I'm sure the Mets FO assumed that the Cubs would have come down as the clock ticked towards the deadline because everyone was so certain the Cubs would trade him no matter what. They played chicken with Jed and lost.

    Somehow I find myself more interested in this team and training camp than I have over the last few years. I guess there are so many unknowns with a new FO, new coaching staff, 2nd year QB and gutted roster that its interesting to see what pieces pan out and whether we can unearth some gems. Like Braxton Jones has been the only OL getting LT snaps the first 2 padded practices. Are they really going to have a 5th round rookie start at LT? Did Poles find something, or is he going to get Fields killed midway through the first quarter of the Bears 1st preseason game?

    Passed away today. I don’t care what Raisin thinks, I greatly enjoyed him.

    Now this looks like a guy who is thrilled to not be traded:
  17. UMFan83
    Gotta be the worst case scenario for Willy. No international draft means the QO stays, lessening his FA value. Spends 2 weeks mentally preparing for a trade that never comes. Now has to play out the string on a bad team instead of a playoff contender and go into the FA market with a depressed value compared to how it seemed going into the season.
  18. UMFan83
    I don’t mind the trade in a vacuum but not really the moves of a team that is “retooling”. But that has been obvious for awhile. Tough to lose a controllable reliever pitching so well but it’s the pen so meh
  19. UMFan83
    Willson in July: .149/.259/.230/.489 Happ in July: .279/.299/.385/.684 Happ’s is a “I’m a good hitter slumping this month” type of stretch, Willson’s is a “I’m either hurt or I have something occupying my mind and affecting my play” type of stretch

    Would be hilarious (not hilarious) if they managed to trade for the contracts of Goldschmidt, Arenado and future contract of Soto while still managing to get a nearly annual competitive balance draft pick.
  21. UMFan83
    Arenado and Goldschmidt aren't able to play in Toronto for some reason. I will happily laugh nervously at this knowing the Cubs trip to Toronto is still to come. Though by then we won't know who half the people on the team are.

    Cue 8 run Phillies inning
  23. UMFan83
    Wasn’t going to create a game thread but I know everyone loves extra innings so much
  24. UMFan83
    Didnt realize we hadn’t signed all of our draft picks yet…

    Thanks Fred
