    Disastrous season at the plate. Where is the floor?
  2. We Got The Whole 9
    I wish we could hire like Jim Edmonds to help him and Happ with their oppo game, get a lot of cheap HR at Wrigley just lifting pop flies to LCF.
  3. We Got The Whole 9
    I'm not sure he has the right staff around him either to get to the best version of himself. But this article does a really nice job of summarizing why we've seen big gains in his development in a couple departments but what fatal flaws he may still have that will limit his overall output with the bat. And if he doesn't hit at elite levels he's simply another negative player.
  4. We Got The Whole 9
    PCA with another play that only he and a few should make that he just can't for some reason
  5. We Got The Whole 9
    He's probably roughly worth that I think
  6. We Got The Whole 9
    That's gotta be so depressing
  7. We Got The Whole 9
    Kinda wish we'd just lead off with Happ
  8. We Got The Whole 9
    Harper and Schwarber to the IL FWIW
  9. We Got The Whole 9
    Triantos feels like a guy who will hit for a lot more power in the Majors than he does as a prospect. I think he's going to absolutely torch AAA pitching.
  10. We Got The Whole 9
    horsefeathers. Shows how much I've fallen off.
  11. We Got The Whole 9
    I know Happ is bad but is he worse than Seiya in the OF? About time they put Cody in RF.
  12. We Got The Whole 9
    40 teams jockeying for that playoff and Arraez remains the only significant trade made. It seems like every teamis waiting, not just the Cubs.
  13. We Got The Whole 9
    His curve has big stuff+ marks in a minuscule sample. The sinker's not bad either.
  14. We Got The Whole 9
    These guys are falling right in line. McGeary hit a dramatic T9 grand slam to take a 1 run lead and the closer served up a walk off bomb in the bottom half of the inning. Lol.
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    They can?
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    This team is overwhelmingly stupid. You cannot make this many base running blunders. Dudes need to start getting fined game checks when they get picked off. The amount of outs we make on the bases is totally inexcusable, and we have made the 3rd out at 3rd way, way too many times.
  17. We Got The Whole 9
    Mariners prospect Hogan Windish hit 4 HR and drove in all 9 of his teams runs last night. He came into the game with 3 HR in 58 games LMAO
  18. We Got The Whole 9
    I don't think he's 5'10
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    Imagine having a 5'7" 1B. This strikes me as quite a bad idea. I guess there's almost precedent for it, although this list is 15 years old. https://www.baseball-reference.com/blog/archives/1200.html

    Quite simply, I've lost a lot of faith in the team's ability to adapt to the changing run-scoring environment. Critical players have either plateaued or declined. We're hamstrung with contracts, missing contributors at key positions of which there aren't many interesting FA to target and I'm not particularly confident in Jed's ability to identify the right guy in trade, even if he appears to have done very well acquiring Busch to this point. I don't feel that good about 2025. This season has really soured me, maybe it's stupid IDK. Why do you quote "unload" as if it implies something negative? We don't have Steele for 2028. We have him for 3 arb years after this one. He'll be 29 next year and we will see how his health is holding up but on the injury nexus he'll be entering the red. We have to wait and see what Jed does this offseason but there is a lot of work that needs to be done and not a lot of wiggle room, and he's gonna need to get creative. I see a real possibility that the team flounders similarly next year and at that point you might have to just submit that they're not gonna get it done and make some moves, hopefully in the mold of the Burnes/Ortiz deal where you get immediate imapctful help.
  21. We Got The Whole 9
    I didn't say this season. Steele is awesome and has 3 more years, I get that. Jed's gonna get another year to try to get the team on track. If we still suck next year I would definitely think the new guy would move him before the 2026 season. Jed could unload him next deadline but I doubt he does.
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    I agree they should absolutely move Steele. i'm not sure Jed has the balls to push that button, though. He'll cite chemistry and morale and get a pick when the time comes.
  23. We Got The Whole 9
    I hate defending Jed right now but Merryweather, Alzolay, and Almonte will each miss multiple months.
  24. We Got The Whole 9
    This should be his benefit of the doubt season. He got the Manager he wanted and pushed the payroll up against the tax and the team is in danger of being last place in the worst division in the league. Ricketts will probably just let him play out his lame-duck season and start anew. A part of me could see Jed resigning also; he looks like total horsefeathers, I bet his body is taking a beating.
  25. We Got The Whole 9
    Another loss that so perfectly encompasses our season. Absolutely inexcusable to suck so badly with RISP and THROWING horsefeathers STRIKES out of the pen.
