    Considering Chicago was named as DNC host in April 2023 and the MLB schedule was released in July 2023, it boggles my mind that MLB would have the Cubs have home games during this week. I expect most people will be on good behavior, but there's a strong likelihood of tomfoolery happening over the next few days.

    Neris is the quantum pitcher; he's good when no one's watching, but the moment an observer gets involved, his wave function collapses and he turns into trash.

    Is Amaya actually turning a corner? He OPS'd .872 in July and is OPSing .730 for August. Not saying he should be handed the starter role next season on a silver platter, but if he can get and keep his horsefeathers together, this team suddenly looks a heck of a lot better going into the offseason.

    It's a bit troubling, but the Cubs have also shown improvement in making swing and approach adjustments to their power hitters compared to the Hendry era. I wouldn't read too much into it, particularly considering Myrtle Beach had the extended hurricane layoff and he just finished playing a full college season. If this keeps up next season, then it will undeniably be cause for concern.

    TINSTAAP strikes again. Shaw's looking primed for that #1 spot in the system anyways.

    Plus it will be delightful when AJ is manager during their next 21 game losing streak.

    As will be discussed at length when the NSBB Top 20s are released, there are roughly 30 guys in the system who can make a convincing argument for being in spots 11-20 on those lists. It basically comes down to personal preference for things like ceiling, floor, handedness, etc.

    The wrist bones are connected to the arm bones. The arm bones are connected to the elbows. The elbows are connected to the something. The somethings connected to the red thing. The red thing's connected to my wristwatch. Uh oh.

    This post gave me flashbacks to the Daytona Cubs. Every year, their entire season would usually get hurricaned out by mid-August.

    Given salary inflation, that might be a bargain come *checks notes* 2035. Dude's a unicorn.

    I think we all know what that really means for him:

    Also worth noting regarding Alcantara's HR numbers is how the baseball was doctored in the Southern League (again) for a good chunk of the first half.

    If this were a 20 game winning streak instead of a 20 game losing streak, the White Sox would only be 20 games under .500.

    Considering Carini just got paid off, it's pretty horsefeathers obvious she intentionally threw her match and staged this whole farce.

    I don't want to get excited about this team because it's had a few stretches where they fell flat on their faces after showing signs of life. But damnit, I'm getting excited.

    I looked away for a minute thinking I'd come back to the tying run at the plate with no outs, and the game is already over. This is weird.
  20. Outshined_One
    Insurance, plz.
  21. Outshined_One
    Well, that was a dumb inning.
  22. Outshined_One
    It's not quite as bad as it was last season, but a decent 4/5 starter is probably #3 on the needs list going into 2025, behind Catcher and Closer. I like the current depth, but the injuries to Brown, Wicks, and Horton have been seriously aggravating this season.
  23. Outshined_One
    MLBTR was speculating about it a few days ago. based on Nido's surgery. Nothing concrete.
  24. Outshined_One
    Ballesteros is a catcher much in the same way Kyle Schwarber was a catcher. He can play the position in a pinch, and maybe you can get away with him starting at catcher for 10-15 games over the course of a season, but he seems ticketed for DH/LF long term.

    God, I loved that man.
