  1. These feels right, but it does seem a little light on speed on the basepaths. Does Berti survive the deadline with Mo going to Iowa to make room for Castro? And then McGuire goes for Amaya when he’s ready?
  2. It’s hard to see where innings are going to come from if they don’t land a starter. Rea has been pretty bad since May 1, Horton and Boyd could be hitting walls soon. The fifth spot in the rotation is an adventure. I know Assad/Taillon are coming back, but there’s no way Jed doesn’t pull something off in the next 45 minutes. It’s too glaring a need.
  3. lol oh god. please don’t let this deadline hinge on our unwillingness to move a bad-bodied positionless doubles hitter.
  4. Yes, as has always been the case, you may hear things break for the next 30-60 minutes after that, though.
  5. What’s the appeal (genuinely asking)? Skimming Fangraphs/Baseball Savant for all of 90 seconds and he seems…fine?
  6. Getting work in? Hasn’t pitched much lately and there’s an off day tomorrow
  7. Agreed. I was just having a little fun with the tea leaf reading going on.
  8. If we start using Harold Baines as the barometer for HOF worthiness they’re going to have to build a few new wings in Cooperstown. He has the same career bWAR as Russell Martin lol.
  9. If they got Suarez (not arguing for or against it here; personally I feel like pitching is priority numbers 1, 2, and 3), what might the go-to lineup against LHPs look like? Is there an optimal lineup that keeps all of Shaw, Seiya, and Suarez in there? Seiya to LF and Suarez at DH makes sense, but they’ve clearly been more inclined to shield Busch from lefties than any of the regular OFs.
  10. It was the James Baldwin trade to the Dodgers. They acquired a prospect named Jeff Barry, but meant to acquire a player named Jonathan Berry.
  11. Shota’s previous three starts were lights out. I didn’t get to see last night’s game so I can’t speak to just how bad he looked, but seems fair to not write him off after one blowup outing.
  12. yup. haha I don’t remember it being repurposed for Cedeno but that checks out
  13. This reminds me of the nickname this board bestowed on Rey Odonez during his time with the Cubs. Does anyone remember what it was?
  14. Ok. Keeping up their April pace all season would’ve resulted in them scoring 950+ runs, which had happened like 10 times in the last 60 years. Instead, they’re merely the 2nd best offense in baseball. Just feels weird to harp on the offense when the starting pitching staff is the obvious Achilles heel of the team.
  15. I don’t understand the April Cubs bit you keep trotting out. The Cubs are averaging 4.97 runs per game since May 1.
  16. There was an interview when he was in Iowa talking about how good the cubs lineup was that was something like (suuuper paraphrasing)“the pitcher has to face me, and then someone else, and then Kris Bryant, and then another guy, and then Jorge.”
