    The Smith/Shaw comparisons in these upcoming game threads are going to drive me insane.
  2. Outshined_One
    I fully expect them to trade the #55 pick for a bag of magic beans.
  3. Outshined_One
    That'll do.
  4. Outshined_One
    That also works.
  5. Outshined_One
    I'd be inclined to pull him if he were struggling or had long at bats in the 5th, but dude's cruising. I hope they let him start the 6th.
  6. Outshined_One
    Kudos to Shaw for improving his approach, though. He hit way too many HRs in the minors and in college to be Nico 2.0.
  7. Outshined_One
    Now would be another good time to break out, Matty.
  8. Outshined_One
    This poll should just be PCA listed five different times.
  9. Outshined_One
    Keep yesterday's pile-on going, split the series, and go into Houston with some momentum.
  10. Outshined_One
    And yet somehow end up with multiple All Star games under his belt after being traded in a few years.

    Keller would be a marginal upgrade,l for the rotation, but enough of one to give the Cubs flexibility with Brown, Horton, and Boyd as far as inning limits go. He's also good enough to crack a Cubs playoff rotation. It can't hurt to kick the tires, but better options might be out there.

    The annoying this is, the M's and Cardinals seemed fine with it. Win, shitasses.
  13. Outshined_One
    Should I complain about Taillon, PCA, Shaw, or Dansby?
  14. Outshined_One
    horsefeathers A, Dansby.
  15. Outshined_One
    The last one. It basically provides additional context based on things like park factors and league offensive environment in a given season.
  16. Outshined_One
    I wouldn't complain if Brown got moved to the bullpen after Shota returns, even if it's temporary.
  17. Outshined_One
    You've been around long enough to know that we've discussed everything on this forum from the Ricketts' political activities to how the Daytona Cubs needed to be moved due to being hurricaned out on a yearly basis to where Theo Epstein got his Starbucks to Tom Tunney's Cubs shakedowns to which players got the COVID vaccine. Sports are inherently political and intertwined with the rest of the world, like it or not. Feel free to disagree with other people's opinions, but trying to shut down a discussion on a website you don't own or moderate is kinda dumb.

    He was an athletic bean pole when drafted last year who also was a raw LHP in high school. The arm is clearly there for him to end up in RF, but I haven't seen anything about if he has the speed/routes to end up in CF. He has a long way to go developmentally, but the early results are promising.
  19. Outshined_One
    Called it.
  20. Outshined_One
    Something tells me I'm going to be equally regretful and grateful that I won't be able to watch this game when this one's over.
  21. Outshined_One
    Kipp and Mule, too! Also Noland, who seems like the kind of guy who gets written off in prospect lists and reports, but somehow goes on to have a 15 year journeyman career as a reliable but not great 5th starter/long reliever.
  22. Outshined_One
    Brutal heat and high winds today. Should be fun!
  23. Outshined_One
    I really, really, really want to see meaningful scouting reports on the lower level pitching prospects. It's great that we have a bunch of guys putting up good numbers in A-ball, but I'd love to be able to separate the wheat from the chaff.
  24. Outshined_One
    It's the reality of 3B in the modern era. The position is down league-wide. I hate that Shaw is struggling, but you can make a case that the Cubs are in a much better situation at 3B than half of the league based on his defense and potential at the plate.
  25. Outshined_One
    He might, but the Red Sox are five games back in the division, are holding steady in the WC race, and they just screwed up the Devers situation horribly to keep Bregman around. It's a nice idea, but I think the Red Sox are hanging onto him this season, even if it's just to save face.
