Wittenmyer casually mentioned the Cubs 'kicking the tires' on Samardzija, which is the first time I'd seen his name with the Cubs in a while. I continue to think it's a longshot he's traded at all, but he's another in a list of guys who I like a lot more as targets with Quintana in the fold.

"img" instead of "gif" When I did that it was a box with an x tho It's got to be the URL of the image itself. https://goo.gl/images/4A9vNw gets you an X, https://media.giphy.com/media/i8ZAg4vOFy8AE/giphy.gif gets you the gif.

The picture they use when talking about Pence is such a perfect encapsulation of him that it should be the only picture of him used ever.

That is correct: http://www.bleachernation.com/2017/07/19/cubs-shuffle-rotation-to-maximize-jose-quintana-deployment/ Brett theorizes it's because that change ensures Quintana faces both the divisional opponents in his next 2 starts.

Random In-season Musings and Rumors
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Post Count Padder's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Something is very odd about those projections. Either they project the Cubs to finish at 88 wins and finish 5 games ahead of the Brewers, or they project the Cubs to play at an 88 win pace and tie the Brewers at 86 wins. Either option makes their divisional series odds for the Cubs(22%) and Brewers(64%) insane. -
Cool, now put those running mitts on please. I was trying to come up with a reason to the question you asked. And I couldn't come up with one. The best I could do is that players either think they don't look cool or that it makes them uncomfortable because they aren't used to them. Either one is a lame reason. So, yes, put them on. It probably takes practice with them to not be worse at grabbing/staying on the base.

La Stella has to be the best 26th man of all time

I do work for one inning and Bryant lost a finger? Who do I send angry gifs for this?

Probably a lot less than prospect types would have you believe. -
I'm setting KB at 12, Addy and Hendricks at 5 each. We'll see what happens, but I think I'm actually slightly UNDER selling what those 3 get. If I remember correctly, David Price holds the record for arb price at 20M and that was an arb 4 after winning CY. So something like 12M,16M,20M,24M over Bryant's arb years looks right. Price got 4.3 million as a super two. That was 5 years ago, but the point is it doesn't scale linearly.

If Bryant had hit that groundball he would have been halfway to 2nd by the time Almora hit first.

I thought there was no way that was getting out with the sound it made, did he crack his bat?

good shift dum dums

The delay is because Ian has to go catch them with his bare hands first. Happ and Lackey on the same roster is some Alien v Predator stuff.
-
If they don't start soon this is going to cut into Lackey's 4th meal the 4th meal is raccoons

30M was what I was saying for Darvish alone, Q and Teheran are locked in at 8.85 and 8 respectively. Bryant + Russell + Hendricks are all arb 1, Bryant is the only one with a chance at 7 million. This year's payroll isn't a hard ceiling either. I'm not saying they'd fit it in with 15 million to spare, but by your own calculations they could fit a big addition in. They might have to sacrifice a platoon bat on the bench or maybe the quality of one reliever spot, but that's the tradeoff you make for a Lester/Darvish/Quintana/Hendricks/Teheran super-rotation.
