at the conclusion of tonight’s game i will be tying myself to a tree outside Wrigley field to protest the continued employment of jed hoyer. use my venmo link to show your support:
-
Why is Seattle included? It’s not wrong, just silly.
-
all you hoyer haters say you want him fired but I haven’t seen any of you pledge one red cent to the fire jed banner. all talk no action.
-
PTR can spend more, and I think he should, but I also think a top 10 payroll should leave the roster in better shape than this.
-
Yeah these small market teams like the…Chicago Cubs…just can’t compete with the big dogs.
-
Start the work stoppage early.
-
Hopefully brown doesn’t hit a wall and hopefully Cabrera starts pitching better before then! Fingers crossed!
-
taillon and rea do not belong on the mound in a playoff series, tbd on Steele and Boyd. Right now, it’s Shota, Cabrera, 4 innings of Ben brown, and the shrug emoji. Wiggins and his 8 IP and our cadre of blocked prospects shouldn’t be hugged too tightly.
-
Right. We literally never know the cost of a trade until it happens, but we still talk about them anyway. We’re bringing some assumptions and past comps to the table. For instance, I assume the package won’t require anyone on the 26-man. If they ask for Shaw or Brown, they can keep dreaming. But there’s not a guy in our system I’m considering off limits. That’s not to give the Mets carte blanche on, like, a 5-for-1 trade where they get our top 5 prospects, but if they want a package similar to what Cabrera went for (organizational top 3, top 10, and a lottery ticket), with some sort of a kicker to factor in the midseason premium and the fact that Peralta has a longer track record of success, that’s fine with me.

1. We don’t know what the price will be. Maybe it’ll be “astronomical” or “ridiculous,” maybe not. We got Edward Cabrera, who had 3 years of control, for an OF K’ing 42% of the time and a post-hype SS prospect sporting a .576 OPS in AA. 2. There is no one in our farm system I particularly care about losing. 3. We’ve seen this movie before. Just last year, as a matter of fact! At this point in time, we do not have someone we can reliably count on to start game 2 in the playoffs. We can hope Boyd and Steele are healthy and effective. We can hope Brown doesn’t hit a wall in August and continues to look like the guy he has. We can hope Cabrera takes the leap that I think he’s capable of. But it’s a lot of hopes and I’d prefer not to be patchworking it together again in September/october. i frankly done care of its Peralta, Webb, Ryan, whoever else might pop up in that tier. Just pay the cost to get someone we feel good about who in the playoffs.
-
Pay it.
-
yeah I continue to be unimpressed by Cabrera. At least Caissie has stunk too.
-
They had Leiter on the ropes all night and couldn’t cash in. Easy to say “not our night” under the circumstances.
-
I know it won’t happen early and it probably won’t happen at all given the way the last few trade deadlines unfolded, but man I so badly want to jump the market on a starter (above the Michael Soroka tier).
-
Seven stranded through three. Sheesh.
-
I have not been impressed so far.
-
They even have a McCutchen on their roster! Gotta be Andrew’s son I’m guessing.
-
Of the ten parks I’ve been to, it’s fairly safely #10 in my rankings.
-
During the postgame last night, Cole Wright said the cubs have five 7-0 home stands ever. Now they have six. Two of those are this year.
-
Trent. Edward. Thornton. Know the name! /alexcohen

Highlights?
-
for a minute there, reds fans thought they were returning the favor tonight. instead the cubs were just setting them up to rip their hearts out again.
