  1. Thompson was excellent, so that's cool
  2. That oppo shot, his first of the three, was absolutely special. That looked like an easy 110+ off the bat and the swing was so easy.
  3. I think Cade McNown and Curtis Enis being taken in back to back drafts was the low point of the 90s.
  4. Not a comment on his viability but holy horsefeathers did he get fucked by the ump tonight in the 6th. Had a walk to load the bases if not for the sympathy strike on a 3-0 pitch about 3-4 inches below the zone. Then racked up yet another K. He always was gonna be a guy who probably wouldn't put it together for a couple years. Even if he turns out to merely be a lefty masher that works still because the Cubs are largely useless against them.
  5. Kyler was a great concierge last night. Hope he got good tips as he went above and beyond to make sure his assignment made it to their destination safely and without hindrance. Hope he woke up in cold sweats throughout the night.
  6. Cubs affiliates have yet to score a run tonight, just 7 hits across 4 games
  7. Also not including the HR he just hit
  8. There are several other teams that have run 200+ payrolls before that have very little on the books for 2023 besides the Cubs. I'm pretty sure Boston is going to be a major thorn in our side this off-season. The Giants, Orioles, and those horsefeathering Cardinals (they could sign deGrom and trade for Ohyani and horsefeathers horsefeathers all up). The Cubs are gonna have major competition and they need to flex on em and go beyond the comfort zone. It's critical that they come out of this with a TORP and at least 1 bat you should reasonably be able to pencil in for 20-30% above league average, but I think it's important that he can also add value elsewhere. They really need to put a focus back on the D and do everything they can to get more speed and athleticism in the lineup. The TOOTBLANs have been outrageous with this group and seem to be breaking even Ross. So, focus on the D and base running, get more powerful fly ball hitters who don't run pitiful contact rates, absolutely raise the average velocity significantly. Tall asks but necessary AF. Huge deficiencies on the roster compared to the elite orgs.
  9. South Bend made the choice to bench PCA and got no-hit
  10. Cease is 3 outs from a no hitter, 91 pitches
  11. Where do you guys rank Devers in our system? Is he Pitcher of the Year? The numbers are ridiculous.
  12. I think this should have been ruled a catch
  13. Brennen is in Iowa. 0-1 BB so far.
  14. Wasn't there a point in 2008 where we beat like 6 fearsome pitchers in 8 games or something? That offense just grinded pitchers to dust. Until October, that is.
  15. Holy crap did they sign that middle schooler to a futures contract
  16. That was satisfying Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  17. It feels good to have a Moises raking in the organization again; just hope he has a different method of preparation for the game than his predecessor. Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  18. Damn they struck out Nwogu with the bases loaded. He could still get another AB though. Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  19. Or horsefeathers the Cubs for not grabbing 2 future HOF for nothing Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  20. Devers has been unreal And look at PCA hitting 285 now at. SB. Finishing strong. Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  21. Even the games where he miraculously doesn't allow runs he doesn't miss any bats. I'm not sure what the org sees in him. Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
