Cubs add Chapman for Torres, et al. imb wishes we paid more
Thusly Boned replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Yup. He's probably just thinking of the reefer they found in his room. Who was the other Cardinal player that died unexpectedly. Was his drug related? I thought maybe I confused him with Chris Farley, but Farley was 5 years earlier (1997). Josh Hancock died in a drunk driving incident years back -
One downside to the Liriano trade is that even when he's down, he absolutely owns the Cardinals, and would probably have started a couple more games against them this year.
-
So the Mets may try Bruce in CF, which is amazing because as bad as Cespedes and Granderson are in CF, they're miles better than Bruce would be. Their pitchers should be weeping at the prospect.
-
The Cubs got appreciably better, they just did it a few days earlier. Another SP would be nice, though, with Cahill turning back into a pumpkin and Warren gone. We have next to no rotation depth right now.
-
Beltran is on his way to Texas, it seems.
-
It seems like they're exploring deals, but barring one, I'd imagine Grimm will be added to the roster.
-
Damn, why? It seems to be the only cards site with decent conversation. Yeah, GRB is the only Cards site with anything resembling civilized discourse. Well, VEB too, but I hate the format of the SB Nation sites. Bummer.
-
I don't think we'll do anything earth shattering at this point. I think we were in on the HIll/Reddick sweepstakes and missed out. Unless we get a Tampa pitcher or something small then yeah it seems like we are done. I'd be happy if we nabbed Odorizzi, a little less so if it were Moore. I'd be thrilled if we went huge on a young TOR type, but with market in the state it is in, I'm afraid of what it could cost.
-
Yeah, if I'm a brewers fan I am giddy about that.
-
I won't by particularly irritated if we don't make another move, but I sure would feel a lot better with another quality SP.
-
Well, that's your first mistake... Yeah, I know better, but I was so dumbfounded by the assertion that Bruce is a defensive wizard that I couldn't help myself.
-
I've been arguing with some people on Twitter who are trying to tell me that Jay Bruce is a gold glove caliber RF.
-
That is a huge haul for 2 rental players. #expectedresponse I'm just not a huge fan of Hill. Or rather Hill's ability to actually give you innings. I feel like it's 50/50 as to whether or not he spends most of the remainder of the season on the DL, or in some way incapacitated.
-
Smith isn't that bad, but I'd just as soon stick with Grimm, et. al He's pretty bad. 5.97 K/9, 3.11 BB/9, 14.8 HR/FB%, FIP/xFIP in the mid 4s, -.1 fWAR, averages only 88 MPH on his FB. Grimm is better Yeah, that's pretty much what I was saying there. Just that he's probably better than Matusz.
-
I would've rather kept Matusz Smith isn't that bad, but I'd just as soon stick with Grimm, et. al
-
Meh.
-
[expletive]. They're still going to get Archer or Sale or some other elite piece. At a time where it seems everyone is overpaying for players, just watch the Dodgers only have to give up like Puig, De Leon and some low level guy for Sale. There's no way. Boston or Texas can and would obliterate an offer like that. The price for Sale is going to hurt whoever pays it.
-
Get. Him. In.
-
If we win this, Carl's Jr. is my game MVP.
-
Losing the game at this point would be unacceptable.
-
Time for Rizzo to atone for his seven lob with a dong.
-
Well, preferably his arm falls off after the season, not sometime in August.
-
well, crap.
-
Time for a walk-off dong.
-
Shutdown inning please
