it's a good day to have Kyle Tucker (the day ends in y) -
For April I'm mostly hoping to keep their head above water, so from a series perspective this is house money since they've secured the split. But these next 4 games are as nice an opportunity as they'll get to bank some more wins and potentially let them get a few games over .500 after the homestand. Hopefully Boyd looks sharp, we should see Kelly in a good matchup and a lefty might help get Seiya going. Maybe Turner starts too to get him some first series reps?

If you've been convinced that Pressly should be a low leverage reliever since he was acquired I guess that's one thing, but we just can't do this on March 30th and pretend we have clear insight to what the rest of the season will look like based on 5 games across 2 weeks(and continents). This goes doubly for pitchers who have had their season ramp disrupted more with the Tokyo trip, and have started with road games against 2 of the best offenses in the game.

did a Cub throw all of Suarez's belongings in a river or something

Oh so it's bad now when you do J drills at a 50% success rate? It's not good when your shortstop plays with the urgency of a grandma sitting in a rocking chair with a glass of sweet tea?

I'm fully prepared for the same rotation, heck I can still tell you what the Garden CLAW (tm) stands for 30 years later. But as someone who lives 500 feet from a QT and goes there for meals I mean snacks way too often, if you're playing their commercial too frequently for me there's a problem!
-
laughed out loud at that glove flip, incredible stuff
-
MLB.tv is already pushing it's luck with the repeat commercials, almost every half inning I'm getting the same QT commercial 2 or even 3 times in a row
-
why don't they just make the whole plane out of Shota
-
I don't think he's a big plus out there, but the awkwardness is mostly down to him having to track laser beams hit directly behind him. Even though he wasn't far from it, catching that ball from Smith is functionally impossible given the velocity and trajectory.
-
wow Suarez only hit that one 355 feet probably time for him to hang em up preferably before he comes up again in this game
-
Naylor will not rest until he has endangered every Cubs hitter

Minor League Musings

Here is the pre-2023 prospect voting announcement, where Tom bemoaned how people overrated Franklin's potential and none of the entries put him in the Top 20: Here is the mid-season 2023 prospect voting, where Franklin got 1 vote at 18 and another at 14 (from infrequent posters) out of 15 votes: Here is the end of 2023 prospect voting, where no one put Franklin in the Top 20: Here is the pre-2024 prospect voting, where one poster with 4 posts put Franklin at 18 and no one else included him in the Top 20: Here is the middle of 2024 prospect voting, where no one included Franklin in the Top 20: Here is the end of 2024 prospect voting, where no one included Franklin in the Top 20: -
Name Yer Cub, Episode 10
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
wow, I never would've guessed that was Dusty Baker -
I would simplify this to 2 thoughts. One is that even though they technically spent Bellinger's outgoing money, they clearly did not spend to what Matt's expectation was. He says pretty clearly that 220 real payroll was the expectation, and even accounting for midseason acquisitions there isn't a way to say that this was the way it was always intended to turn out given that real payroll is in the 190s. The other is that there were plenty of folks who were concerned that trading Bellinger meant that there would be little to no additional spending of any type, and that this was another sign of ownership cheapness that wants to forever drive down the team's payroll. That is clearly a big part of what Matt was trying to respond to, and while he was incorrect on the specifics, there's also little question that the spirit of the rebuttal is correct(they did in fact spend 30ish million AAV post-trade).
