    I think with Scherzer you're not stringing anything together, you just shrug your shoulders and hope you luck into a timely dong or two. That's at least why I would consider Bote over Duffy.

    I saw one of the BN people grab a quote (I think from Dorey?) that they've slow-played everyone who got COVID during the last year, even if timing-wide it didn't directly affect their intake. I think it was something to do with the heart/cardio complications some people get on the side. So go guys like Franklin who are just a few weeks behind and we never heard about an injury, that's a possibility. I'm most curious about Brendon Little, since he was ramped up and letting it rip in ST but I never saw anything about an injury.

    Yeah, Tepera stepping up as the RH setup man really locked things into place. If Wick's not dead or Thompson/Nance are real this could be a lockdown group before long.

    Yeah, as bad as our rotation has been I'd still prefer all 5 of our guys to Jon going forward Really? For $2.5m more than we paid Trevor Williams we could have gotten Lester who couldn’t pitch much worse than what Williams has given us. Williams has decent peripherals and better actual stuff. Plus minor league options if we want to shoot him down to Iowa to get straightened out. Lester as a franchise hero would have had to get run out there every 5 days pretty much regardless. That's why I really didn't want him back. Tepera has looked real good for the last 2-3 weeks

    Yeah, of a ton of things to be upset about with the Cubs management, not resigning Lester seemed pretty logical. Yeah, as bad as our rotation has been I'd still prefer all 5 of our guys to Jon going forward

    It's not just Myrtle Beach that's been a total mess with the strikeouts

    Good day in South Bend on the hitting side. Roederer got on base 4 times and Nelson Velazquez had a dong. Carraway K'd the side but also had 9 straight balls in the middle of his outing at one point.

    Kyle knocked a run off his ERA and FIP today. And honestly he's missing a few groundballs but otherwise his peripherals are just about where you expect them to be.
  18. Bertz
    I'm guessing it was just a matter of him being the freshest arm available with how shredded the pen is after yesterday. Although he has incredible numbers at Iowa (only 6 innings) so maybe he has been showing something?
  19. Bertz
    Fun day for South Bend. Nelson Velazquez is back, which is sorely needed since Roederer was the only prospect of note on the position player side with Strumpf out hurt. And Ryan Jensen had a nice bounce back start. 1 run, 4 Ks, and a horsefeathers-less of groundballs over 4 innings.

    Most of the Trubisky stuff in camp/preseason was fairly lukewarm, right? I wonder if it's one of those things where glowing reviews don't necessarily tell you a guy is going to be good, but a lack of glowing reviews is an early sign that he won't.

    Hot Damn Craig

    I would disagree on the Falcons and Dolphins, but yeah it's asinine Fields made it to 11. The Broncos in particular seriously horsefeathered up IMO.
  23. Bertz
    Most of the pitchers who have managed to throw strikes are killing it too. I really do wonder if we just didn't properly calibrate expectations for how far ahead pitchers would be after the lost year.
  24. Bertz
    To me the alarming thing about Heyward is the lack of quality of ABs. For most of his Cubs career I've felt like he's got a plan up there and makes good decisions, his swing is just frequently such a mess that he doesn't make the quality of contact that he should. But this season? A lot more chase, which means more K's, fewer BBs, and more grounders. Especially frustrating since he actually looked good at the plate last season.
  25. Bertz
    So....is Chase Strumpf hurt? This will be his fourth day off in a row.
