  1. I don't want to officially give up on the Cubs quite yet but it sure feels like Hendricks is auditioning for other teams right now.
  2. A really early start today. The Cubs surprisingly received an excellent performance from Taillon last night, more of the same would be welcome from Smyly. Fun fact: the Cubs helped knock the Yankees out of the final Wild Card position last night.
  3. Nice win, didn't see Taillon shutting down the Yankees like that.
  4. I know others feel differently but I'm often relieved when players bow out of the ASG, particularly pitchers.
  5. Beat the damned Yankees. Carlos Rodon makes his first start of the year so who knows what to expect from him?
  6. Kinda seems like a stretch but teams will pick up almost any reliever at the deadline in hopes of squeezing 25 good innings out of them down the stretch.
  7. Anthony Franco of MLB Trade Rumors compiled an early July top 50 trade candidates list and the Cubs have two players in the top 11 and five players in the top 50 overall.* *obviously, this assumes the Cubs will in fact be selling at the deadline Marcus Stroman and Cody Bellinger lead the Cubs' portion of the list but Michael Fulmer, Yan Gomes, and Kyle Hendricks also make the list. The Cubs have compelling pieces that other teams will want to acquire, how aggressively should they sell if it comes to that point?

  9. The Padres marketing team is getting desperate.
  10. It's a big help if you follow our accounts and share stuff you find interesting (assuming your blackened soul is still capable of joy and sharing). Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NorthSideCubs/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/northsidebaseb
  11. What a ridiculous series this has been. Somehow, the Cubs are in a position to win this series with their co-ace on the mound against a struggling Freddy Peralta.
  12. I'm curious to get a feel for what people are thinking about the trade deadline and how to approach it. I doubt we're going to see many people going for a hard buy but what level of action do you want to see from Hoyer & Co in the next few weeks? And if you're punting until just before the deadline, are you willing to accept less-optimal packages for key pieces or do you believe in making the decision early and acquiring the guys you want?
  13. I don't know if they're a .500 team without Ross but I think they're at least closer to .500, which is something. Ross seems to make a bunch of unforced errors. He's not doing the team any favors.
  14. The Cubs managed to squeak out a win after nearly blowing a big lead to the Brewers again. The upside is that the Cubs have vastly improved starting pitching going into the final two games of the set. Today, Steele takes the mound.
  15. William Contreras baited Morel into that by not setting up and lulling him into complacency.
  16. Also Hendricks and he's a free agent after the season, correct? SporTrac has a $16m option on him in 2024 and I don't think that's accurate, though I could be wrong.
  17. @Rex Buckingham thanks for using the rumor option to post this, it is a really big help to us!
  18. Good point. If the starters are on their games, expect several nine pitch innings.
  19. Welcome to North Side Baseball! Amaya can't get serious consideration if the Cubs won't play him. 😐
  20. Woof, tough loss yesterday. But either way, a good performance from Hendricks is vital for trade value or just a good ol' fashioned win.
