  1. Just got home and caught up. Hahahaha Grichuk
  2. Win or I'll become homi/sui/genocidal. Thanks.
  3. Russell is determined to get that K rate back to 2015 levels.
  4. I'm guessing once Heyward is back, the Cubs will send down Fedorowicz and bring up another bullpen arm. My guess is Edwards. Federowicz was probably going to go down when Szczur came back, but the fact that Szczur probably came back a few days early and replaced an OF that can't play right now saved Tim's job for now.
  5. Eh. I know he's not electric, but throwing strikes always plays in the ML. Mainly throwing strikes where you want them to. I figured he'd be more mediocre, but I figured he'd be able to hang around the majors for a while.
  6. There is no way this is a play off of Will Smith in "Bad Boys" right? From now on, THAT'S HOW YOU DRIVE!
  7. Soler, from now on, that's how you play!
  8. Didn't he ask for a trade last year? That's why I thought it was odd. Yeah, I meant more of a perceived bad fit. He's a 4-3 DE by trade, has stated he prefers that scheme, and has been involved in trade/cut rumors the last 12 months. I personally think he's a fine fit. He's a pass rusher. You can do that in any defense.
  9. There might not be as many, but there have to be some. The season is just too long for there not to be periods of slump and sadness. I think I naively hoped that a lineup with at least 7 good hitters in it every day would at least have 2-3 guys not all playing terrible at the same time at any point. I mean, it's probably actually the case now, but I figured they'd be a hard team to shutdown.
  10. The thing I thought the moves would do is make it so there wouldn't be very many dead offensive slumps like this.
  11. It's a surprise because Young will be 31 in Week 2 and a 2 year extension takes him thru his age 33 season, for a team that has gotten rid of almost everyone that has either been 30+ or an odd fit....Young is both.
  12. Not surprising they are. They see a ton of pitches just like the Cubs. It will be interesting because Lackey mostly throws strikes. Or tries to, at least. That's what makes Lackey so good, he tries to throw strikes unlike every other pitcher in the history of baseball.
  13. He was flagged for a shoulder issue at the combine. Had to go back for a medical re-check based on the concerns of 1 team (Jags, IIRC). He was cleared on the re-check. Obviously, there was an existing issue there with the shoulder because that would have to be one hell of a swim move to tear up his shoulder.
  14. Dude, you're old AF! (I was born the same day) Share a birthday with Dusty Baker.
  15. turning the big 4-0 in a month eh? :bye: Yessir.
  16. The day I was born, some dude named Steve Renko started and the Cubs lost 6-4 to the Big Red Machine, to move 14 1/2 games back in mid June.
  17. This is not an opinion based thing. The Cubs are actually the best team in baseball. Gerrit Cole can not believe it all he wants, but that doesn't mean it isn't a fact. Oh I know we are the best team in baseball. I'm simply making fun of Gerrit Cole's line of thought. If we aren't the best team in baseball and we've trounced them that badly, how bad must the Pirates be? Yeah, I know you know. We all know. Anyone who doesn't is in denial.
