3-14 from 4/19 to 5/8 2-13 from 6/4 to 6/21 27-19 outside of those dates.

WSCR guys yesterday were looking at the Anthony Davis to Lakers trade as a reasonable comp. That was a three team trade, but if you just look at the assets leaving the Lakers, it was 7 players - and not just scrubs, they included 5 actual assets in Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, De’Andre Hunter, Brandon Ingram and Moritz Wagner - three 1st round draft picks and a 2nd round draft pick.

He only has three years left of team control, better trade home before he hits free agency.

This team currently has a worse winning percentage than the 2012 Cubs, the worst team of the Theo rebuild, and would be the 4th worst team in franchise history with only 1962, 1966 and 1981 being worse, all before Contreras, Robertson, and etc. are traded away. This year’s team wasn’t supposed to be great, but it wasn’t supposed to be “one of the 5 worst teams in the 147-year franchise history” bad.

The Rams got to the Super Bowl with Goff and then included him in the package to acquire the QB that they won the Super Bowl with. I’d happily take a “Jared Goff situation.”

Cubs current winning percentage of .371 would be the 4th worst winning percentage in team history, with only 1962, 1966 and 1981 being worse.

You can squint and see how they could be a pretty good offensive team next year by adding someone from the Turner/Correa/Bogaerts trio and Josh Bell in free agency. But then, they could have been a pretty good offensive team THIS year if they’d have added a couple more of the available bats.

6/5 Cubs score first again

What the Hell is Frazier doing on this team if he can’t even make contact in that situation? -

Contreras has to swing at the one a foot outside of the zone because the umpire called that a strike in the last at bat. -
6/4 Cubs-Cards Doubleheader

Epic at bat from the rook! -
Phillies Fire Girardi Them giving up on Gabe Kapler after 2 seasons of squeezing out a .500 record from a pretty bad roster looks increasingly dumb as the days go by.

6/1 Willson's playground
champaignchris replied to Transmogrified Tiger's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
My two take aways from the game: 1. JD quoted the Replacement’s “Hold My Life” when the Brewers catcher got hit in the groin by a foul ball. Warms this Gen X’er’s heart. 2. Now that there’s a DH in the NL, why on earth are the Brewers playing a guy in left field who can’t throw the ball. -
I guess Simmons’ shoulder is Ok.
-
Nice 9 pitch inning from Hughes. The Reds look like they just want the game to be over.
-
Schwindel on quite the heater. Maybe his early season issues really was the lingering back injury?
-
So they beat up on starters and can’t score in relievers. Could it be a scouting and/or game prep thing?
-
His Cy Young year in 71, he made 39 starts and pitched 30 CGs!

A Willson/Heyward to the Mets trade might have made sense 2 years ago. When the Cubs were up against the tax threshold and presumably looking for ways to free up space to sign free agents. They’re $60-70MM below the threshold now and don’t seem to be particularly interested in making a big free agent splash. And I’m not certain who they’d even try to get next off-season. Outside of Trea Turner, pickings are slim. Get the best return you can for Willy (or do something crazy and extend him) and release Heyward the minute you no longer have room for him on the active roster.

Click over to settings and change the sound to the Cubs radio team. It’s synched up perfectly with the gave video - no delay. It took a couple of minutes of no announcing (just ballpark sounds) but alas, Pat (and Ron). Thank you!!!

Scherzer is one of the best 3 pitchers of his generation. He’s also probably a psychopath.
-
Outfielders whose parents were actors in the 90s is the new market inefficiency?
-
Yeah 6’+, 300 lbs is about average for a center. Kramer might be a tad short. Jason Kelce is a 4-time All Pro at 6’3”, 295. Corey Linsley is 6’3”, 301. Ryan Kelly is 6’4”, 307. Etc. Pouncey is 6’4”, 304. If Kramer isn’t an adequate NFL center, it won’t be because of his size.

Ball 5 on Ian.
-
His ERA over his last 18 starts is about double what his career ERA was before entering this stretch. It’s beyond a slump at this point. He’s not putting the ball where he wants it.
