  1. Weathers looks like Jack Harlow in 5 years after his money has dried up because he burnt it all on edibles and In n Out
  2. Chris Taylor breaks a 3-3 tie with a 3 run double on the 14th pitch from Genesis Cabrera. Cabrera threw 34 high-stress pitches in the inning. Hopefully that breaks him. And Taylor didn't chase at all. Dude was filling up the zone and Taylor finally made him pay.
  3. I just learned that Cubs icon Michael Wuertz is their pitching coach. Loved that guy for those couple years. That's pretty cool.
  4. I’m totally indifferent about the potential move to the burbs. It would almost guarantee hosting a SB within 5 years of the stadium completion- assuming they do a dome. Not having to deal with the Chicago park district would be a plus and having a better playing surface as well. Sounds like you are not indifferent Right lol If I lived in Chicago I might be upset if they moved but being a transplant I am absolutely hoping they bounce.
  5. I really like Mancini. Hes definitely a guy I hope they can acquire. That said, if they did, they better send Heyward to the bench. Mancini's career splits basically mirror each other, its really impressive. We need more guys who don't suck against one side. Heyward's defense isn't even great enough anymore to offset the offense he's produced this season. And Mancini played a lot of RF in 2019. It wasn't pretty. But he still produced big time value overall. I think it'd be worth it to just live with what he gives you out there. Outside of 2020 Heyward has just been blah to blech offensively with us.
  6. So what's going on with Abbott's stuff? He never had major walk issues, and he kept the ball in the yard. Now the walks are way up but so are the strikeouts and whiffs. AAA seems to still be playing with the funny ball; Orlando Arcia has 8 HR for Christ's sake. Abbott is certainly falling prey to that [expletive] ball, just glancing at statistics. So why is he getting so many whiffs but walking way more than expected? I would understand if his numbers were poor and people simply said he wasn't fooling anyone, but you don't strike out 30% TBF if that's the case. Any reports on his spin rates? Just newfound movement he can't command yet?
  7. You know they're gonna sweep LA
  8. Oh come on, how could you fail to mention what occurred in the top of the 9th with Astros up 6-3, Tatis up with 2 on and 2 out... Tatis hit a foul pop to the 1B side that looked like it might reach the stands but it stayed in by about 5 feet or so. The 1B misplayed it badly and fell straight on his back, missed the ball by a wide margin. Next pitch Tatis sent over the train tracks to tie the game. I think Dusty probably did the smart thing. Tatis' last 15 games he almost has a 1.4 OPS. Just on an unstoppable roll right now.
  9. Maples better not look rusty he might get DFA
  10. Alright boys LFG Javy Most of my anger has dissipated
  11. People really need to stop miscontruing the "contributions" Sogard has made to the offense. STFU. Hes been GARBAGE.
  12. This is the worst review system in sports right?
  13. Ridiculous that you can't review that like wtf
  14. Brothers hasn’t pitched in 10 days which is bizarre. hard to complain about Ross' pen calls i suppose
  15. I just don't think he needed to pull Davies. Oh well. Please keep it at 2.
  16. Was that the arm he hurt or was it the left shoulder? Left shoulder got hurt trying to stay on the bag
  17. I've seen runners use their legs to whip the guy on the turn but the hand? Another thing I'm not sure I've ever seen in baseball.
  18. Sucks you got hurt Bote but that was a seriously STUPID thing to do
