  1. this quote pretty much sums up the state of the cubs organization
  2. also don't catchers tend to decline earlier? trade hiiimmmmm
  3. Sign someone like Grandal for 16 mil on a short term contract and win lots of games? trading willson for prospects or major league pitching and then signing grandal makes way too much sense for it to happen
  4. i still think it makes a ton of sense to trade him
  5. Because it's top 10-12 in the league both as starters and relievers and we've got a top-5 offense in the majors? do you think this is a top 10-12 pitching staff the rest of the way? i'm optimistic that they can win 85-90 games if they stay healthy, which is basically where we were before the season, when we all agreed that this team was disappointing.
  6. they don't suck. they're just not very good. basically what we thought all offseason
  7. i just don't see how you can be optimistic about a team with this pitching
  8. I just think the 23-7 or whatever was kind of a fluke in the sense that I dont think the the rotation (the 3 lefties in particular) are going to have another dominant stretch like they did. It's also unlikely that the top 4 hitters maintain a .950-1.000 ops all season, and I dont see any other hitters getting super hot to make up for the inevitable regression of the top 4. Even when we were on pace for like 100 wins, fangraphs still only had us around 90.
  9. brewers win by 1, cubs lose by 1. pretty much the story of the last 2 seasons
  10. the rotation and bullpen are awful.the 86-87 win predictions are looking more and more correct
  11. he's traveling with the team to houston. does that rule out a concussion, or just rule out a mega concussion?
  12. That Darvish wasn't actually getting better? Agreed. Given the circumstances he came through today, he went in to the game knowing he was going 6-7+ and 100+ pitches in horsefeathers conditions. He gave us a chance and we won. The offense won the game. if they didnt bail him out, nobody would care that he "saved the pen"
  13. what a disaster that series was. a concussion for kb could completely derail his season again
  14. that kawhi/giannis sequence was awesome
  15. everything is a pain in the ass to get to in Florida i went to opening day in miami last year. we got to the stadium 2 hours before first pitch, but still ended up missing happ's leadoff home run because it look literally 2+ hours to park. if there's any kind of significant crowd, things just stop working there. if the lightning can thrive in florida, i see no reason why the rays can't with a well placed stadium
  16. I have no idea of your level of sarcasm there but I'm almost sure Almora has only been married the one time Yeah he’s being a dick. With each passing day, the likelihood of his return becomes more remote. it was a joke about almora getting engaged to multiple women in rapid succession after he was drafted
  17. You can't root for Marchand.
  18. it's going to be funny when he signs somewhere else for like 1 year 17 million
  19. His k% is back over 30
  20. does Russell still get booed? I aven't been watching this broken ass team
  21. just throwing away the division over one flaw, cool cool cool
  22. I'm rooting against Toronto just because of how obnoxious drake is on the sideline
  23. somebody explain the yankees. it's gotta be incredibly frustrating for rays fans.
  24. the funny thing is that Joe probably thinks his wheeling and dealing was the only reason the game became close. I can imagine him winking at people in the dugout after different moments of the game when the Cubs did something good like he's herb Brooks.
