An open discussion about the state of the forums
Bobson Dugnutt replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Longhorn20 is the megathread antidote this board has needed since rawdog disappeared. -
Brown and Wesneski have given this staff such a boost.

Man that was clobbered

I’m not following. This doesn’t preclude other teams from interviewing Cunningham for future openings, does it?
-
Whoa the lightning storm was in 2008, apparently. And the Soriano walkoff was ‘09. Wrong x2.
-
Was this the series with the lightning storm that sent Berkman running for the dugout / the Soriano walkoff?
-
Boyd would be a fine 3rd option if they don’t draft a WR, but agreed Tyler Scott and Velus Jones as WR3 and WR4 behind an oft-injured Keenan Allen is scary. They do have two strong pass-catching TEs, at least.

Ok, Hendricks actually looks really good aside from the bomb. Please keep it up Kyle!
-
Morel needs a few days off in a bad way.

RIP Kyle

White Sox Season in Jeopardy
Bobson Dugnutt replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in General Baseball Talk
What makes this even funnier is they got jumped by a 76 win team and an 82 win team in the 2024 lottery. They’re going to lose 220 games over a two year span and wind up with the #5 and #10 picks to show for it. -
I know he faced one batter last night, but this is Smyly’s third consecutive appearance. Curious move.
-
What a clutch performance from Wesneski.
-
You were saying?

Gray is the name that stood out to me as I was skimming through spotrac earlier. I’m really high on the long term outlook for the rotation, but it’s going to be tricky to cobble together the next couple months. But if we’re looking at a rotation of Steele/Shota/Taillon/Wicks/Horton with Assad/Brown/Wesneski as spot start/multi-inning options as soon as this season, we’ll be in good shape to not be taxing the pen every night. I don’t think much of our non big three options in the pen (though Smyly has acquitted himself fairly well in relief), but if their usage can be minimized, we’ll be fine.
-
Agreed on the timeline, but I think the Hendricks decision can even be looked at in a vacuum. Regardless of who the alternatives are, it seems Hoyer had two rotation slots to fill. Kyle had the dead cat bounce last year, but probably shouldn’t have been considered a safe bet, at least not enough to lock up one rotation spot in November. That said, though, the top pitchers on the market were probably always destined for LAD (Yamamoto) and Philly (Nola). Take out those guys and the Boras guys and it was pretty slim pickings.
-
Even at his worst, he eats up innings. At the very least, he can give the pen some relief. And to that end, my answer to @squally1313’s question of what Jed could’ve done differently to improve bullpen performance, and this is obviously with the benefit of hindsight now knowing Kyle is toast (fairly certain I have a post on here in favor of picking up his option, but there’s a reason I don’t get paid to make these decisions), is let him walk and put that money toward Montgomery. If guys that aren’t used to the full season MLB workload factor so heavily into the rotation (Wicks, Shota, Assad, Brown, and Wesneski being five of the top eight rotation options) AND you have questions in your bullpen, handing a rotation spot to Hendricks was a mistake.

this might be controversial, but this bullpen walks too many batters imo

Robert Fick clubbing Eric Karros’ arm belongs in this conversation. -
Damn it, couldn’t get that call on the corner.
-
Christ, this bullpen is lousy. I can’t believe he got out of that.

you’re cool, Leiter. you can stay
