Chris Coghlan to Cubs for Mendy; LaStella to DL
squally1313 replied to UMFan83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Coghlan was the 55th more valuable offensive player in baseball last year. Giving up someone who's put together below league average performance in AAA over his last 160 games doesn't seem like that much. All depends on what you want to look at. Coghlan's peripherals have definitely gone down, but batted ball profile seems pretty consistent to last year. -
Chris Coghlan to Cubs for Mendy; LaStella to DL
squally1313 replied to UMFan83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I was excited when I heard this, and then I found out Coghlan has been ummmm....a bit less than impressive this year in Oakland. Hopefully he can help out. I'm sure Maddon loves the flexibility. -
I'm curious on how many opportunities he gets. His main value in terms of winning games would be as a late game defensive replacement, but with Bryant/Fowler/Heyward being the default line up, there really isn't anywhere to upgrade, unless you want to push Baez to second and Bryant back to third (and even that would lead to one of the outfielders playing 'out of position'). If you give him starts, is it in left? I'm guessing he'll get one, maybe two games over Fowler over the next couple weeks, but I doubt we'll see enough to make any reasonable conclusions.

After all those years of suck, they just wanted to see what it was like on the other side of the fake rally for once. Let the 15% full crowd start to get excited for a few minutes before sending them home more pissed than they were 10 minutes earlier. It's fine, the Cubs are just bored. 40 wins on June 6th hahahahaha

It seems like we never really put out our 'top' lineup. In one way, it makes me happy because it means we have another gear to bust out. In another, it makes me sad because I know the real 'top' lineup is missing my favorite dongsmith.
-
We are a third of the way through the year and pythag has us at a 128 win pace this team is outrageous and I never want this to end.

I realize after last night and this I'm putting myself close to a definitely unenviable position on the Clayton Richard Bandwagon, but... He's the last pitcher in our bullpen, with a 3.34 FIP in his small sample size of nine innings. 17% LD/16% hard hit % rate against a .432 BAPIP and a 45% strand rate. He's not visually appealing because he doesn't strike anyone out, but he gets groundballs (67% this year, 59% last year in 42 innings), and lefties wOBAed .240 against him last year. Maybe let him hit double digits in innings for the year before we start screwing with our 40 man to bring up Gerardo Concepcion and his unsustainably low BAPIP.

By most/many/seemingly all accounts Contreras is not ready defensively. Trading for catching depth makes sense for both the short and long term seeing as there's no Cs under contract after 2017 on the ML roster right now. I don't care how dumb it sounds, I'm holding on to the 'Schwarber is someone's personal catcher when he gets back to full health'. Between that, Contreras, and one of Lester's other hunting buddies, hopefully we'll be covered.

Maybe he's not happy about the advertisements that are based on his internet activity?
-
Hahaha Joe is just screwing around at this point.
-
Funny observation but one was on a holiday afternoon with perfect weather and today was a wet weeknight evening. Fair enough. Still, we gave up 2 runs from Jake and the back of our bullpen. We'd take that, especially against the dodgers, pretty much every day.
-
15 pages for 7.5 innings of a 2-0 game we're losing tonight. 10 total pages for a 2-0 game we won yesterday.
-
Yeah but it's still unlucky. If the first ball was more solidly hit its right at heyward and if the second one isn't right in the hole it's at least one out and probably a double play. If Warren gets a one hop double play ball here, you can't argue he had a better inning in terms of the contact made.
-
Your top lefty arm was entirely unavailable and your top three relievers all pitched yesterday. Leading off an inning against three lefties isn't the worst call. That Pederson line out is the hardest hit ball of the inning.
-
Can I overreact the other way and say it was three singles and none of them were that hard hit and if the second one was 15 feet to the left or right we'd have one guy on with two outs?
-
It's because they have him 1st on the long term depth chart, and want to keep him there for as long as possible.
-
Man, it would have been fun to see what Joe would have done with an able to catch Schwarber in these late inning moves. Hopefully there's still some of that coming in the future. Only 2 runs, but it seems like we get something going every inning. So satisfying to watch.
-
My work shuts down chrome extensions for some reason, so I'll probably just try to duck out of here to avoid any hypothetical problems. Appreciate the hypothetical advice.
-
id rather be on my couch watching but this isn't bad either. I didnt realize how easy it is to get a quality stream these days. Hypothetically....how easy is it?

Kris Bryant, our 24 year old 6.5 WAR 3B/LF/CF/RF/1B.
-
It'll be fun looking back on the dark days of the 2016 season....a 4-5 roadtrip where we outscored our opponents by 10.
-
Petition to bypass the filter just to say the actual name of the game.
-
Hey guys does Jason Heyward grounding out to the second baseman frequently remind you of Juan Pierre, who also used to ground out to the second baseman frequently? If so, please combine their names somehow because I don't think anyone else has gotten it yet.

Another piece of evidence for the downvote campaign.

What's with the "3 am" = Tommy LaStella thing Jesse Rogers always does?
