    This is not disappointing

    Fulmer's velo back to where it was in '21 bodes well for his viability as a legit closer

    Cole Ragans sounds like the main character in a Justified knock-off that's being very careful to not get sued for IP Infringement

    The one negative about Swanson so far is he's put the ball on the ground A LOT. You take it with everything else he's done so far, but if the contact goes south while this sticks around.....

    Me: He's definitely gonna give up a run here Stro:
  6. Bertz
    How the hell do you give him 1B on that? Even if the ump doesn't notice he's got a foot out of the box, he got in the way of the ball

    Pretty surprised at Wisdom instead of Madrigal against Eovaldi.

    Did we know that whatever is wrong with Devers is 60 Day IL worthy? Honestly though depending on what his injury is not the worst thing in the world. What he needs most is to get jacked so he can throw harder, in terms of like pitch ability and stuff he's way ahead of the curve already.
  10. Bertz
    Neither has options, I'd assume Rucker and Madrigal. Maybe Assad on the pitching side now that Keegan's right

    Probably puts both guys back in Chicago during the Mariners series, definitely before the Dodgers.

    Wet conditions washed out Wednesday's game Now today's game is on Apple TV+ Which is weird because I thought those games were only on Up for the Rangers is Nate Eovaldi. He USED to be a piece of horsefeathers, but thankfully For the Cubs it's Marcus Stroman, who is terminally online and tends to overshare Win today so some suburban dads can get lit at Sluggers Go Cubs

    Riley Thompson in front of Statcast for the first time, horsefeathers year

    What's the protocol here, do I start a new thread or do we repurpose this one?

    Ryan Jensen is shoving through 4. 1 walk to 5 Ks and a ton of groundballs
  16. Bertz
    Manny Rodriguez sitting 98 that outing. His velo coming all the way back for good would be pretty fun
  17. Bertz
    I was gonna try and wait at least through the Texas series before diving into this, but this bears watching. With his power, going from horrendous contact to even just pretty bad would probably be enough to lift him from fringey starter to quality 1st division type.

    Great writeups. This part of the system is maybe actually the funnest part of the list. Having guys of this caliber outside of the org's top 10 is something really only a few other teams like the Rays, Guardians, and Dodgers can boast. Like heading into 2019, Aramis Ademan was our #3 prospect and a 50 FV at Fangraphs, and his resume wasn't that different from Made's. If you were to ask me for a pick to click this year in the org on the position player sjde I think Moises would be the guy. The history of 18 year olds who can hit in full season ball is strong. I would give him a very short leash defensively because the ceiling seems quite limited there while the bat seems really special.

    This is a great tip, but I'm obligated to post this
  20. Bertz
    I think Hosmer was a good idea in January that became a bit redundant when it became clear the team was happy with Rios' changes during ST. But he's making the league minimum, once he goes from "a bit redundant" to "an actual problem" he'll get the boot.

    Last night was a hit party Now today it's an early weekday day game, so get everything you need done in the AM We've got Marcus Stroman going for the Cubs And Hunter Greene going for the Reds. He's the hardest throwing starter in baseball So the Reds must usually win when he's on the mound, right? Go Cubs
  23. Bertz
    Bellinger
  24. Bertz
    This is what I get for assuming he was done after 2
  25. Bertz
    Alzolay has faced 13 hitters in the early going here this year. 6 have struck out, 5 have put it on the ground, 1 popped out. Brice Turang hit a hard liner to CF, that horsefeathers
