  1. CC mentioned that he hopes he makes mistakes early on so he can learn from them
  2. Morel not having a good defensive game today so far, but I think he'll still be the starter there come OD.
  3. Luke Little should be on the opening day roster
  4. Madlock wanted a multi-year deal in an era when Cubs ownership and management didn’t really want to give those out. It was right at the dawn of free agency, which the Cubs didn’t really participate in either. The Cubs offered Madlock a $110,000 contract for 1977, far below his market value. The New York Times reported: Madlock wanted a multi year deal of at least 200K per. So the Cubs traded him.
  5. Yep, he was Santo replacement after Santo was traded to Whitesox, he should of been there for years but PK was a cheap ass.
  6. Madlock- considering the big stars black players on that team before Madlock, I doubt it was because of his skin color.. PK was just a cheap ass that wasn't going to pay anyone
  7. Theyll probably start the season on a HR tear hitting one in a bunch of consecutive games 😅
  8. I didn't say he was supposed to make them forget Santo. I just remember the local sports media at the time and even Harry and Stone were all excited with him in 96 and 97 when he was in minors and his rookie year and they kept mentioning him as the kid who can finally be the one to take over 3B cause they haven't had a set 3Bmen since Santo.. He was supposed to be their long awaited answer to 3B
  9. Orie was supposed to be "the guy" at third that the cubs finally had long term there since Santo
  10. Cubs can have a pretty good bench this season along with position depth with players in AAA/AA. If Busch(1B) and Morel(3B) can produce all season without going into any longggg slumps, itll be huge for the offense. Bench... Amaya Mastrobuoni Mervis/Dom Smith Wisdom Tauchman Also, with all the OF talent in AA and AAA, itll be interesting to see what they'll do as far as promotions and trades during the season.
  11. The potential this team can have this season and next with some of these kids is pretty exciting, and they still have quite a few in the lower levels that are talented.
  12. He was running on the pitch, but not sure how he didn't look back or at his coach to see that it was in the air and foul.
  13. If the cubs do add another bat, I hope it's JD Martinez.
  14. I hope Bote makes an mlb team this season
  15. Joe Hudson says Hello.. Lol
  16. He has a few walks
  17. Nah, I should of mentioned too that he first looked to throw to 2B to get the force there and he probably just tried to rush getting ball to hand
  18. He backhanded a ball and bobbled it on the exchange
  19. No chance ... He'll get plenty of ABs and will learn more under Gomes
  20. Smily blows, I hope he's next to go away
  21. Cubs are 0 and 2 and has been outscored 13 to 0 since the return of Bellinger 😅😆
  22. That what Cots shows 🤷‍♂️
  23. Theyre 6 mil under the Tax Threshold, I could see them moving Wisdom and maybe Madrigal to give themselves a little more flexibility.
  24. I think he going to get plenty of opportunities this spring to get it done.
