    What in the world are the Cubs doing using Kimbrel in a non-save situation. Someone please take Ross' duties away ASAP.

    I'd rather see Happ get regular playing time in these meaningless games. Heyward can sit on the bench until his contract is up. Heyward is atrocious. Happ makes less than 20% of JHey and is a little less productive. That’s not saying much. Happ is also 26 and was really good last year. I'd let him get as many AB's as possible down the stretch to see if he can figure it out. Wins and losses are meaningless, if anything losing games and getting a top 10 pick should be a priority.

    Heyward isn't going anywhere, but I'm ok with him taking all Happ's at bats.I'd rather see Happ get regular playing time in these meaningless games. Heyward can sit on the bench until his contract is up.

    Vegas is a launching pad - for a guy who is supposed to have 70 raw power, four home runs is really disappointing. His BA is being propped up by a .400 babip. He had major contact issues in 2018 & 19. He's lost a bunch of development time to injuries. I'm not saying he's going to be a bust and I'll trust K's knowledge of the guy...but the stats don't tell me a pretty story other than the big bump in walk rate and more manageable strikeout level in '21. I'm gonna guess the Cubs are more interested in whatever the 2nd player is in the deal. Might be a lower ranked player in the rankings but some lottery ticket with potential. Much like getting Mike Olt in a deal with a bunch of decent arms.

    A's #9 prospect on Fangraphs and MLB.com. 26 years old though #8 on fangraphs Think he's #9 after they add Max Muncy in there

    Not without juiced baseballs

    I actually watched this and this was the best the Cubs played all series, not that that's saying much.

    I've hated basically every trade the Cubs have made the last few years but this one seems like a win for them. Joc was likely a 1 year rental and wasn't even great this year and they turned it into a decent prospect with some upside.

    Shocker at #1. Although going underslot catcher over a shortstop is probably the right move.

    Part of me is actually looking forward to watching some new players out there. Been this way since 2017. I'm excited for a rebuild with no expectations and fun prospects to follow.

    The Cubs are now chasing 3 teams in the NL Central

    Could be overuse but interesting that it started falling apart when sticky tack was banned. Perhaps the pitching lab just just a lab where they developed sticky substances. Sucks if true because it was the most innovative thing they seemed to be doing while the farm system languished and the star hitters all regressed into a bottom tier offense. Yes yes World Series thank you and all that but what is this org doing well right now? I know there is promise in the minors but it’s not exactly a top 15 system at this point is it? Sorry I’m being overly negative and maybe unfair I just see nothing but negatives within the cubs right now I think we're mostly in the clear on the sticky stuff front. Nance has seen his spin rates absolutely crater, and Keegan Thompson's also taken a real hit, but everyone else is down but really not any more than the league as a whole. I am a bit nervous to see Steele back up here, because he was a spin rate monster as well, so I hope he doesn't get Nance'd. Was Tepera a big spin rate loser? He seemed to fall apart as soon as the crackdown happened.

    I think Contreras is the only player on this team I really think will be worth an extension but you're not extending a 29 year old catcher when you have Miguel Amaya in the wings and starting a rebuild.
  18. mias_tisg
    They had one but threw him into an already awful trade

    Boog & JD think it's just a game situation thing + trying to manage AA's innings this year. I was thinking injury - glad to hear it’s not An injury would explain this dumb decision better

    The real solution to cutting time of games is to cut the commercial in between half innings. Get on the field and pitch after a few warmups. But we know Manfred will never look into cutting that.

    Think it depends what you can get for Bryant. If you can package Bryant and Kimbrel to the Braves or Padres and get a nice haul, it might be worth doing and just rebuilding. But who trusts this front office to even get correct value for their players?

    Bote should have swung at one of those bad breaking balls
  23. mias_tisg
    Arrieta hasn't been close to as good as it seemed coming into this one. Regression was always coming.

    Contract year Kris Bryant

    who cares, Bears got Justin Fields
