Our 4th and 5th best relievers are going to pitch a lot of high leverage 7th and 8th innings, especially since they don't have too many off days and because they aren't going to ride Koji or Carl hard. It's not some gaping hole to be filled, but there's always going to be ROI on making a bullpen better if you reasonably can. I mean, sure, in an absolute sense. But I'm not sure that the cost of someone who is definitively better than those 2 guys (for that level of dependability, you're talking a pretty high level of reliever - otherwise they're all kind of hit or miss because bullpens) is worth that ROI. I'm not even sure which you'd call the 2 worst in an absolute sense (as in not just lately), but, at any rate, whichever 2 of the Strop/Rondon/Uehara group you call our 4th and 5th best are really damn good for 4th and 5th best relievers.

oh my god our 4th or 5th best relievers have flaws and aren't always dominant
-
The idea that we'd even think about giving anything up for relievers confuses the hell out of me Davis, CJ, Uehara, Strop, Rondon What exactly needs upgrading
-
Wtf do we need a bullpen arm for

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/america-has-spoken-the-yankees-are-the-worst/?addata=espn:mlb:index Cubs are the most likable/liked team in MLB I'm disgusted at who is 2nd on that list, however

also the vaunted brewers offense destroys the baseball to the tune of a 96 wRC+, 13th in baseball
-
because he's been bad and if detroit trades him they are salary dumping him and his 70+M a risk the cubs could've probably afforded to take, but seems like a pretty big risk for milwaukee to take, even with their payroll obligations pretty clear going forward

kid would've been alive but not aware of the last cardinal world series just saying -

idk why i thought that was the cubs.com thing i remember going on the espn boards for jose vidro trade rumors. mike lowell and luis castillo too.
-
to whether they finish in 3rd or 4th?
-
538 only at 62%. Of course they've got the Bucs and Birds each at 9%. having read that nonsensical trade deadline stuff, lol at 538
-
fwiw, back up to 81% to win the division on FG http://www.fangraphs.com/coolstandings.aspx BP isn't as convinced...70% http://www.baseballprospectus.com/odds/
-
speaking of run differentials, holy crap i had no idea the diamondbacks were at +100 and 11.5 games out of first. 10 years ago they won a division and got to the nlcs with a negative RD.
-
i just saw this at the brewerfan.net The Cubs, who are 1.5 games worse and have a +27 run differential, have been mediocre (not exactly wrong), but the Brewers, who are 1.5 games better and have a +42 RD (in 3 more games, FWIW), have been very good. (Cubs with .563 3rd order winning percentage to Brewers .496 btw) perspective is a funny thing i guess

i keep reading that as "i've been beaten by pujols more than i've beaten my trout"

-
He's a pretty solid target in my opinion if all it takes is minor leaguers like Jeimer and Alzolay i would do that trade yesterday

you got a mouse in your pocket? I don't even know what this is in reference to you said us ninnies he's saying you're the only one unless you have a mouse in your pocket who also wanted to sell

you got a mouse in your pocket? that aisle 424 guy was seriously advocating it, causing him to suddenly completely lose all credibility in my eyes
-
Ok yeah super cubs are back

this headline lmfao [tweet] [/tweet]

Contreras is probably the 3rd best player on this team.
