    Shoeless Joe also now eligible. The “integrity of the game” argument against Rose took a huge hit when MLB and frankly all the leagues went all-in on partnering with gambling entities like FanDuel and Draftkings. I’m not saying gambling is something terrible in itself but that argument no longer makes much sense to me. The commissioner’s argument that Rose is dead so he no longer poses a threat to the integrity of the game is BS because of Shoeless Joe, who has been dead since 1951. I just think the stench of hypocrisy from MLB on this is overwhelming.

    Yep, I turned it off after the 8th.

    Sorry, I totally missed where the Marlins have a top shelf bullpen.
  4. Soul
    Whew Turner’s up. We’re saved.
  5. Soul
    I guess if this is really the bullpen for the season it’s a pretty good bet we’ll sink back down to a mean that’s kinda .500-ish The offense is still really good but two top starters out, crap bullpen….smells like mediocrity

    Merry “gas can” weather

    This is going to sound dramatic but the Cubs really need to take care of teams like this and if they don’t it might tell the story of a failed season.
  8. Soul
    Need that offense to show up.
  9. Soul
    This loss is horrific but so was that March 30 Diamondbacks game and the team brushed it off.
  10. Soul
    Should’ve just lost the game outright. better for run differential.
  11. Soul
    I’m really good at it. Ask my wife and she’ll tell you it’s not a valuable skill.

    This team is getting the most out of its players right now. Hope it keeps rolling. It occurs to me that perhaps this is why Counsell matters.

    They won the series in MKE. Successful weekend in terms of the game outcomes. I’ll just stick with that for now.
  14. Soul
    Well we won the series but may have lost the wave of momentum we were riding. Ugh.
  15. Soul
    This is not good
  16. Soul
    Yep. I don’t mind the betting although I’m smart enough to know I’d lose all my cash so I don’t do it. But $150/yr for MLB.TV, can they at least start with some non-rivalry games? Jeebs. Anyway, rant over.
  17. Soul
    How can they dish big division rival games to the F’ing FanDuel network? WTF even is the FanDuel network?

  19. Soul
    I’m satisfied with this outcome.
  20. Soul
    If Loveland and Burden are both hits I’ll consider it a good draft though. Add Turner as either a starter or solid rotational guy and I’ll be very pleased. Big ifs.
  21. Soul
    Love how the Brewers got dressed down by the White Sox too. Would be nice if they played to their actual level of talent all season.
  22. Soul
    Oh so THATs when the losing streak starts.
  23. Soul
    Feels like it’s a pattern with the Cubs playing down to the level of opponents. I can accept the “that’s baseball“ explanation if it’s happening occasionally. So get to this guy and win the damn game. He’s good but so are we.
  24. Soul
    I believe so yes. Although I also think Warren is more highly regarded than Kmet was.
  25. Soul
    Matt Miller says the Burden pick was the #1 pick of the entire draft. And Loveland was his #7 pick overall. Says Burden was the best WR in the draft (he counted Hunter as a two-way player), and he had Loveland over Warren as #1 TE.
