  1. It's pretty crazy, obviously he may have some sort of info that's informing these decisions (whether it's numbers or knowing a guy is banged up or whatever) but this all just seems like he's going completely by feel and his own thoughts. The lineup tonight should've been. Zobrist LF/RF Javy 2B Rizzo 1B Willy C Schwarber DH Happ CF/LF Heyward RF/CF Bote 3B Russell SS or something like that, definitely those are the 9 guys that should be in. this is pretty spot on. and with the DH, you can even leave Rizzo at the top if you really want and put like Happ and Bote 8-9 to give Rizzo plenty of opportunities to drive in runs.
  2. hamels doesn’t know strop that well yet so he just went with his own “backyard bbq” theme.
  3. good lord hamels. i can’t stop laughing.
  4. one of these things is not like the others, in more ways than one.
  5. Why do you goobers act like "we'll just bullpen it" is some trump card lmao. If the starter gives up 5 runs in three innings, it's not gonna make much of a difference how good our bullpen might be. Because it is a trump card and the starters will be pulled early the first sign of trouble to not get to 5 run in 3 innings start. Plus some of us on here have to counteract your consistent whining, doom bonnering and ninniness the first sign of trouble is usually the first inning.

  7. love a 30+ pitch first (when it's not the cubs pitching)
  8. Cubs getting Ziegler
  9. Hugs for hamstring injuries?
  10. Not with the rangers either per Jesse so not kela or Diekman
  11. Hmmm... who else might be on this level? Rodney?
  12. so hickey actually has turned things around
  13. This feels like a Ziegler level deal. Not getting the other marlins guys for this kinda package, you’d think.
  14. Yankees have acquired $2.5 million in IFA money this weekend...
  15. Britton, arguably, wasn’t even a top 5 option. So yes. Conley, Yates, Pressly, Soria, Barraclough, Steckenrider, Lugo to name a few. I said realistic because most of those guys haven’t really been mentioned in too many trade rumors. In particular, the asking price on Marlins guys has been reported to be extremely high. And hard no on Soria for me. ok, so there are tweets out there saying that teams are seemingly willing to meet the marlins' asking price for Barraclough. if this is a realistic possibility, i'm all for it. i'm guessing getting him and Conley together is out of the realm of possibility, but having two relievers like those guys controlled through 2022 would be quite nice. Conley, in particular, fills an offseason need with Wilson a FA and Monty a possible starter/trade bait.
  16. Seems like a big flaw in the penalties then. Just keep the funds in years you can't spend more than $300k on individual free agents and roll it over to years you can. isn't the bonus pool a hard cap now, though? so there would be no penalty box going forward and this would only apply to pools from last year and this year while we ride out the teams that were grandfathered into the penalty?
  17. Which is interesting, because the reported signings thus far are: José Lopez - $1.5 million Richard Gallardo - $1 million Joel Machado - $850,000 Rafael Morel - $850,000 Yohendrick Pinango - $400,000 That totals $4.6 million, Jesse Sanchez only has a total ~$1.93 million in signings based on his $3.05 million total. yeah, if those bonuses are accurate, don't the Cubs have $383,500 left? How could there be such a wide gulf between that number and Sanchez's?
  18. He has a team option after this year right? Not that they will pick it up or anything even if he turns into an ace down the stretch and wins the world series. Yup, $20 million team option with a $6 million dollar buyout that the Rangers are picking up. But yeah, no chance they pick it up.
  19. he needs to get to 252. the option vests with 400 total innings pitched between this year and last. Bobson, reading is horsefeathering hard ok? that's what i'm here for.
