    It has been! I was worried you'd not find us here. Been good. Weird to see the Cubs winning, for sure. How you been? Have missed seeing you around. You made PSD in many ways, legitimate.
  2. Jason Ross
    He made it! Bystro!

    Hey, Trey did a thing. That's fun.

    Caissie 1-2, double, walk, no K so far. Lowes his K% under 28% for the month of July.

    I think the idea of an opener can be useful, but I don't understand what the purpose is here. Wesneski is someone who struggles against LHP, so is the idea that the Cardinals load up LHH and then tee off on Wesneski? Is the idea that maybe Wesneski can survive a full trip and then you'll have so many lefties that Smyly will be more effective? Smyly's been better against LHP, but still carries a weak 4.47 xFIP (or did before Nootbaar's homerun). I simply don't understand the idea here. Smyly's been pretty bad this year, so what's the purpose of him being the longer-man? It feels backwards. Feels like you force the Cardinals to go RHH heavy for the first few hitters, and then put Wesneski in after an inning. I'm just so confused.

    I cannot tell you why. I have no idea.
  7. Jason Ross
    Can we please be done with Drew Smyly for a while? Please?

    One bad pitch from Wes so far. Encouraging two innings.

    Wonder why the skip for Wicks? I assume it's more of the Cubs being uber cautious with arms, but I guess you just don't know. EDIT: Sounds like Birch thinks the same based on comments.

    It's the kind of argument I expect my middle school students to give me. "But you didn't warn me that I wasn't allowed to throw my food at him, so I shouldn't be in trouble". Well, no horsefeathers, kid. You don't need a warning for that.

    Well, Mikolas got suspended for 5 days. If only they had taken the time to write the rule "It's totally cool to throw at a guy if he accidentally hit a catcher with his backswing" into the rulebook! Damn those unwritten rules!

    My guess is the argument David Ross would give you is that More's defensively shaky at 3b, and has a 79 wRC+ against LHP on the season. I'd counter with Wisdom being DH level bad at 3b, and Trey Mancini being worthless, personally, so I don't agree, but that'd probably be my guess.

    Rucker to AAA, Wesneski called up. Will start.
  14. Jason Ross
    Man, there's nothing more than I hate about people whinging and moaning about fictitious rules that only exist in their brain. Example: here's Yan Gomes getting knocked out of a game with a backswing. No one threw at anyone.

    I can't read. You're right, AA Rocket City.
  16. Jason Ross
    The Angels just promoted 2023 1st round pick Nolan Schnauel to their AAA affiliate. They do things very differently. EDIT: I can't read.
  17. Jason Ross
    Great minds think alike. I said that his recent trade idea involving the Cubs and the Astros felt like something you'd read on an Astros blog. He's the worst.
  18. Jason Ross
    There's not better evidence for why Jim Bowden was a terrible GM than to read any article he writes.
  19. Jason Ross
    This is both infuriating (the Cubs should not be, in any way, concerned with going over the luxury tax) but also interesting (in that they'll still lose Stroman at seasons end) in that maybe they can use prospects to get a controllable arm.

    Bellinger is a Boras client. I think Cody Bellinger will sign the best contract, I dont think he really cares where he plays. Now, I think his best value is at CF and teams who think he's a CF'er for the next 2, 3 or 4 years are likely to offer more to him, so it may effect how much teams are willing to offer him. But I think that's a different discussion.

    Horton finished 4IP, 5K's, 0BB, 0H, 1 HBP. 50 pitches - 37 strikes. Cruised.
  22. Jason Ross
    Rojas has top-20/30 (or better) in baseball upside. We're a ways a way still, just 150 PA's into his career in the states, but there's something there.
  23. Jason Ross
    Yeah, just read about it. I'm not going vegan any time soon, but it's a little cracked to eat a live lizard on camera for the yuks.
  24. Jason Ross
    Same area scout who was on Horton. Who was following Horton since HS... Big Ty Nichols fan here!
  25. Jason Ross
    I mean, for horsefeathers's sake, thats the most clearcut version of "this dude should get kicked out" of game I've seen.
