  2. how long has j-hey been walking up to 30 hours?
  3. did len say bryant and rizzo are unlikely to do the HR derby if asked?
  4. If so, there'd be even less incentive to attempt to improve the best team in baseball by a wide margin.
  5. exactly this
  6. what good is fixing our biggest "weakness?" what's it going to accomplish?
  7. i get that he's really valuable but i still don't want to move any potential future/current dongsmiths for a relief pitcher. sue me. we're just not going to get better in a meaningful way this year. i'll keep the future assets and try to maximize the ability to keep being awesome every year (yeah, miller under control blah blah, don't care). i'm team horsefeathers pitchers, and that especially means relief pitchers.
  8. Wasn't that the year of the 20-game win streak? i believe that was 2002. they had ridiculous second halves both years.
  9. young joe lookin like young robert deniro [tweet]https://twitter.com/SarahMaddon/status/744551614963318784[/tweet]
  10. fair enough. i know that's how the discussion started but it seemed like you were making a "they're not gonna win the division so why bother trying" argument.
  11. Make the playoffs hasn't been good enough the last 2 years, they've been out after 1 game. To me, it's hard to justify running in mud just to potentially lose your 1 and only playoff game for the next few years (which would be the case if they aren't better than the Cubs). I understand the whole "crapshoot" playoffs thing, but it would be different if we're talking about a division winner, guaranteed a 5-game series. But as long as they're behind the Cubs they face a 50/50 chance of going home after the 163rd game, while they need to beat a Jake Arrieta, Madison Bumgarner, Clayton Kershaw, Matt Harvey, Stephen Strasburg type of pitcher. For a small market team already pushing 90M in payroll and needing to pay arbitration guys in the near future....that's not an ideal scenario, IMO. so they rebuild to probably be in a very similar spot again in 5 years? i think they're set up very well with lots of good young players for the next few years and i don't see why they should start a tear down because the cubs are insanely dominant right now. lots can change from year to year.
  12. yeah...i don't see how you just ignore the wild card and "rebuild" when you have a good team just because there's a likely dominant team for the next few years in your division.
  13. Lol the thread started discuss the pirates as another contender in our division is now talking about whether they should trade Andrew mccutchen
  14. it seems like we are going to give arrieta'ing matusz a real try before we make him a loogy
  15. Cubs could go 4-11 in their next 15 and be on pace for 100 wins
