did I miss the day it came out that Clevenger runs a puppy mill or something -
Can somebody recap? I refuse to go to that board. A couple people excited the Cubs/Theo are draining all their resources, followed by more people/facts pointing out that they gave up nothing to get Murphy and are surprised/miffed that's what it took.
-
baseball wise this is fine, you don't absolutely need it since Happ and Zobrist aren't horrific infielders(even La Stella if you think he can turn it around), but a high contact hitter of Murphy's pedigree for a non-prospect is only going to help the cause politics wise it's good that Murphy appears to have made some progress since his original opinions, but Cubs fans hurt by those opinions don't owe him forgiveness and it sucks they have to deal with that dissonance now.

Anyone else remember the 'Nelson will be back in the rotation in June' headlines before spring training? I still can't believe those were written, he tore his labrum in September.

His batting stance/swing always looks just a little off Pokemon weirdo Might’ve hit his ex wife Shoulders too wide

They led 2-0 in the 6th and lost by a run, I'd be more surprised if they didn't feel that one got away. That said, the Nationals as a franchise are getting really good at coulda, woulda, shoulda-ing against the Cubs, going back to the 4 gamer in 2016 when they blew a lead in like every game, and of course last year.

he's buddies with Arrieta

hahaaaaa, ya got got

After 15 seconds of looking at his Fangraphs page, I'll tell ya, he seems bad!
-
If you consider Javy's biggest plate discipline problem to be picking up sliders, those adjustments seem pretty shrewd. Clearly he's able to pick up curveball spin and punish it, and jumping on pitches less likely to be chase pitches makes it easier to find pitches he can drive.

David Bote is a Golden God and Deserves His Own Thread
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Cubswin11's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
The problem I have with Bote the launch angle enthusiast is that the narrative doesn't exactly track the results. They mention doing so last summer around the all-star break, but Bote was better earlier in the year. His Iowa performance is good(and he did improve his IsoP, although that's at least partly the PCL) but doesn't scream that he's a brand new player. -
David Bote is a Golden God and Deserves His Own Thread
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Cubswin11's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I've been cowardly waiting for Bote to not kill the ball for a game to express a similar sentiment. He can have all the exit velocity he wants, I'm not going to feel one bit upset about any starts that Russell, Baez, Happ, or Zobrist get over him. They're better. Doesn't mean he's not potentially useful in a deluxe LaStella sorta way, but the league is going to adjust back and he's very likely to be the guy he's been in MiLB even post-swing adjustment, which is not a first division starter. -

my stout adult son wrecking shop in South Bend, brings a tear to my eye -
Thanks. I actually had a scan show complete remission a few weeks back. However, being a blood cancer they are using radiation to make sure they get it completely so I don’t have to do this again. Basically, my tumors were located in just the right spot that they felt radiation would not harm my vital organs longterm and they could greatly reduce the damaging affects of those last 4 chemo treatments by not doing them. I’m very happy. tim died so that you may live his body the crust, his blood the wine

If you just told me a Cubs site did a 'Javy be good' video I would've bet a million dollars on BCB, way to stay on brand.
-
I could be wrong, but I think live bp is Darvish throwing his full repertoire to hitters without any sense of game state, while a sim game is throwing your repertoire to hitters and using counts/outs, just without defense and baserunners. So ultimately very similar.

I hope Wellemeyer bought two tickets, he needs two seats to fit his shoulders in
-
FYI he’s 7th in fWAR, Scherzer, DeGrom, and Nola are also over 4.0

I will be in attendance at the Iowa game, I look forward to giving in depth scouting reports of future major leaguers like [File not found] and [dial up internet noises] -
Agreed. Muncy spiraling back to earth weeeeeeeeee

Kelley has given up 26 home runs in his last 90 major league innings. That's incredible.
-
The Cubs are on pace to get as much value from Bryant, Rizzo, and Darvish combined as Bryant provided last year, and they have the best record in the national league.

Villar: .304 wOBA this year, .313 career Schoop: .306 wOBA this year, .320 career Trading for Villar for Schoop and moving him to SS is an objective downgrade, not just inefficient. Moustakas can hit better than the Brewers 2B, but Shaw is also high risk for being worse than expected at 2B, they gave up a nontrivial trade asset to make that happen, and there's also not a huge difference in Moustakas's bat and what you'd expect from an amalgamation of existing 2B options(never mind other trade targets). This isn't reflexive hating of a rival here, I'm the guy who was high on the Gerrit Cole deal, for example. That also illustrates that I might be very wrong, it's happened many times. But to me, trading for not good players so you can make your team's one elite strength actively worse is just dumb.
