  1. I really thought Darling was going to say "rub one off" there.
  2. oh, boy. Now Roberts is going to manage the pen like LaRussa.
  3. I'm happy to be facing Cingrani instead of Kershaw.
  4. lol - they take out Kershaw to ph with the third string catcher?
  5. I don't mind that bat flip from Puig at all. He smoked that ball.
  6. I've expressed my feelings on this before and been called crazy. DirecTV sucks.
  7. I'm feeling pretty good about that Quintana trade these days.
  8. Did Bellinger learn to hit from Craig Counsel? His stance offends me.
  9. We have a lead and Kershaw has thrown a lot of pitches through four. Me Likey
  10. Gary Sanchez is not a good catcher. What a horrible send, but what a great result.
  11. Rank these guys on their potential bullpen impact in 2018 (and 2019 if you get ambitious) AAA: Matt Swarmer Tommy Thorpe Matt Carasiti Alec Mlls Zac Rosscup Jack Leathersich David Berg Dillon Maples Jen-Ho Tseng Brad Markey Rob Zastryzny AA: Pedro Araujo Adbert Alzolay Jake Stinnett Craig Brooks David Garner Trevor Clifton Duane Underwood A+: Dakota Mekkes Michael Rucker Duncan Robinson Scott Effross James Norwood Thomas Hatch Oscar de la Cruz On listing most of the starters here - I think the Cubs are going to be buying their SP and trying to fill parts of the pen with the homegrown guys. So I think most of the guys currently starters will be traded or converted to bullpen. Hopefully the stuff can play up for some of these guys there.
  12. It sure would be nice to have Verlander right now.
  13. It sure would be nice to have Verlander right now.
  14. lol - we got blown out. At home. By Rutgers.
  15. How the hell did Marwin Gonzalez hit 23 HR this year? His average iso in the minors was around .060! He was the very definition of weak contact hitter.
  16. Cracks me up that our entire slate of position players (other than Zobrist) is under control until 2022. Everybody. That's nuts. Just get Otani and another SP this year. Sign Harper after 2018 and make Heyward a part time player. Restock the pen each year. That's really it for the next five freaking years.
  17. Oh - the only player we lose for 2020 is Zobrist. We're going to the NLCS that year, too.
  18. btw - the only players we lose from that list for 2019 are Rondon and Wilson. We're going to the NLCS that year, too. With Harper on our team.
  19. Counterpoint: Does Corey Patterson's knee stay whole if the base was flat?
  20. No matter what happens in this series, we have the following players coming back next year: C - Contreras 1B - Rizzo 2B - Baez / Zobrist (with a healthy wrist) 3B - Bryant SS - Russell LF - Schwarber CF - Happ / Almora RF - Heyward SP - Lester SP - Hendricks SP - Quintana SP - Montgomery RP - Rondon RP - Strop RP - Edwards RP - Wilson Yeah. We're getting to the NLCS next year, too.
  21. I had an awful lot of fun during the 7 hr game against the cards
  22. That was fun. Let's do that clinch thing twice more this year.
