lol Suarez -
Gutty work from Keegan now put Madrigal at 2nd and go walk it off
-
lol come on with that ball 1 call to Rodriguez, the whole game that has been there over and over
-
It's Morgan Sword, the guy in the commissioner's office overseeing the new rules
-
Castillo really doesn't need the help he's getting at the edge of the zone
-
I might've sent down Rucker instead of Assad, but after yesterday's performance plus pitch count Assad was always going to be vulnerable(plus the org seems to like Rucker). The Torrens thing continues to be the most baffling thing I've seen from the front office in ages though. Even if you're completely certain he's gonna hit like a borderline DH, you still need 8 fielders and you're using 5 of 13 position players on C/1B/DH. Unless another one of those 5 leaves the 26 man this week, he can't survive the activation of Suzuki and Hughes. It's just completely nonsensical.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 4-7-23
Transmogrified Tiger replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
I know it's not really the point, but I can't help but have the littlest bit of side-eye at Woods Richardson headlining that 'leaderboard' when his one outing was yesterday against Iowa and he gave up 4 H (including a HR and 2 2B) and 2 BB in 3.2 IP. -
It feels like every at bat I've seen from Barnhart he squares the ball up well

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 4-9-23

Birdsell did not allow a ball to leave the infield, 4 K, 2 GB, 3 pop ups -
please get Torrens off the roster, we can't keep doing this

Even though I'm a soccer fan this isn't a connection that I've made. I think it's an interesting thought experiment, but probably not a great fit, if for no other reason that soccer has a more familiar pattern for situations where a substitution isn't possible(playing down a man). You could maybe solve for this by buffering the sub window by 1 more than is optimal knowing that managers will keep one in case of emergency. Maybe testing would help discover if that's necessary, but the difference in competitive stakes at the minor league level would probably obscure it. I think you can probably get to the same end goal with changes that have already been discussed by people like Theo. Institute the double hook DH and limit pitchers on the roster to 12 and you'll get more teams optimizing for 7 inning starters. Or maybe more teams optimizing for 3 inning relievers

The Cubs are 4th in the NL in run differential and 3rd in runs per game

why is Morel repeatedly squaring to bunt with 2 on and no out -
Rich Waltz: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Waltz He did Marlins games for a long time so maybe that?
-
They should only be blacking out national broadcasts on Saturdays if you're out of market, but I'm not sure exactly how that works tomorrow. It says it airs on FS1 as well as Fox Sports Southwest and Marquee, so my assumption is it's not blacked out but I can't be certain.
-
That would surprise me. I'm either expecting Boxberger or Fulmer to try to go 2, but of the 7 still available the only ones I'm sure aren't coming in are Rucker and Merryweather.
-
Fulmer starting the 8th? hmmm
-
The apple TV stuff is dumb and probably how it's "supposed" to work, but you shouldn't have been blacked out for any of the other games. Might be worth contacting them about it. Only potential reason that comes to mind is if your billing address is still in the Chicago area, but that shouldn't matter to my knowledge. Maybe a VPN messing with things?
-
Thanks for playing Eovaldi
-
why would a hitter being out of the box not be reviewable?
-
Barnhart did smoke that GIDP, 96 mph off the bat and .580 xBA
-
I'm not a big A/V guy but it's really noticeable on the 27 inch monitor at my desk. Also I kinda love the umpire cam? I feel like Fox tried to do that in the past but this one feels closer to a batter POV than what I remember.
-
They are either not picking up the 2 seamer from Eovaldi or it's got more movement than they're expecting, multiple guys getting fooled by its location
-
You don't have to own an Apple device but you do have to give them money or at least sign up for the trial of Apple TV+
