  1. Theo using a top 10 pick on a guy whose scouting report said he was a swing-happy no-discipline shmuck is honestly the most baffling move hes made as a Cub IMO.
  2. Why does Joe have such an aversion to the IBB to the best batter with a base open?
  3. Does Javy know that he doesn't throw a slider?
  4. Thank you David. Need that more often from you.
  5. Is this something unique to us or something that every fan thinks is a problem for their team but really every team mostly only has good numbers vs FB and average to bad numbers vs off speed? No. Not at all. Not hard to find the answer to that question. https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=7&season=2019&month=0&season1=2019&ind=0&team=0,ts&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=2019-01-01&enddate=2019-12-31
  6. Looking at our offense and pitch values is sad. We can hit fastballs and somehow have a decent record against change ups and that is it. Most of that damage against changes was probably done against shitty pitchers as well because I feel like most of our guys are hopeless against them.
  7. Ugly AB, Ian Then again the whole team chases the high heat
  8. Brach should be DFA in favor of Wick. See if Wick can seize the spot. If he falters they can pull back the designation but I dont think my eyes can handle watching Brach's ugly ass delivery anymore and Wick offers more promise IMO.
  9. Well, now Collins has been DFA'd because of the Derek Holland pickup. yeah but it sounds like Holland is only replacing him on the 40 man for now...though I guess they'd have to give him a 25 man spot pretty soon Descalso has to go. Really only him, Brach, or Maldonado make sense to me. Unless they option Garcia or something.
  10. Would it physically hurt you to just brainlessly buy in?
  11. We need to pry Conforto or Nimmo loose.I’m a huge Conforto guy and would love to get him between now and the offseason. I think Nimmo got Mets’d already, he has some weird neck thing going on. Yeah reports are that hes coming back sometime in the 2nd week of August. I think theres a possibility of one of them being moved in the offseason. They have McNeil, it looks like Rosario is gonna get moved to CF, so only 1 COF spot would remain. I think with Nimmo's neck causing such uncertainty they would probably like to move him first even though he has another year of control than Conforto does. Bulging disks are no joke but the upside is tantalizing enough that we should probably kick the tires at least.
  12. We need to pry Conforto or Nimmo loose.
  13. Totally agree. You can handle him with kid gloves all you want but you never know when the bomb is gonna go off. Dont waste too much time with him in Iowa. Especially since you might be able to avoid trading for some meh LHRP by just throwing him into the fire.
  14. Two issues with this are that Hiura was younger at the level and way more regarded for his power potential as an amateur. Juiced ball might boost Hoerner? I think it very well would. That said I don't think we will know until next year. Hopefully they're still using the same balls.
  15. Keston Hiura at 21 y/o in the SL 307 PA 272/339/416 with an 18% K rate Nico at 22 147 PA 260/333/420 with a 13% K rate Hiura gained 200 points of ISO in the PCL and MLB and is now a 400 wOBA guy in his first 160 PA
  16. I have to laugh at you guys who care that much about players on your favorite teams political leanings. You can't possibly think out of 25 guys that none of them or their spouses would donate to Trump.
  17. Please avoid mono, please avoid mono
  18. Well yesterday we got the in the park RISP or nothing and still lost. Maybe one day they will marry the 2. Not likely on the road though.
  19. Good job Rizzo. He threw you 2 fat meatballs and gave you certain opportunities to splash down. The called strike wasn't even that egregious.
