The Padres marketing team is getting desperate.

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.
-
Hell of a bit of hitting there by Tauchman.

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?

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.
-
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.
-
William Contreras baited Morel into that by not setting up and lulling him into complacency.
-
Great joke.
-
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.
-
Tons of weak contact, he's looking pretty good.
-
@Rex Buckingham thanks for using the rumor option to post this, it is a really big help to us!
-
Good point. If the starters are on their games, expect several nine pitch innings.
-
Welcome to North Side Baseball! Amaya can't get serious consideration if the Cubs won't play him. 😐
-
Woof, tough loss yesterday. But either way, a good performance from Hendricks is vital for trade value or just a good ol' fashioned win.
-
A couple of really bad losses in a row. If it were up to me, David Ross would be looking at the door. But some looming questions must be answered in the next 30-ish days that have more immediate significance. What do you do with Marcus Stroman? Cody Bellinger? And if you sell, how deep do you purge the 40-man?
-
Just for giggles I went and checked Madrigal's splits. June was the first month of his career he posted an OPS at or above .800 (.898) while having more than 30 plate appearances in the month.
-
So, Julio Teheran. He has no excuse being this good and it feels like every start is the one where his magic pixie dust runs out. Yet it never happened... until his last start when the Mets absolutely lit him up. This is a four-game set in Milwaukee. The Cubs kinda need a split here, though expecting more than that may be asking too much.

Okay, a fix has been deployed. Given that we can't test it from this side of things (because we can't see the error), please confirm whether it's fixed for you.
-
Okay, that helps. I’ve forwarded this on to the software expert and hopefully he sees wtf is going on here because I’m not seeing it.
-
Okay, thanks. Are you getting a "Sorry" message or an error with a long series of code and links? I'm seeing two different issues, I think I have one of them resolved but want to be sure.
-
Are you having issues with viewing some or all forum topics? Do me a favor: try a different browser and see if that works. I'm trying to isolate the problem but cannot replicate it from my end; knowing whether a different browser cures the problem will steer me toward it being a local caching issue on your machine or a potential error in a site instance. If you can, post here with any information.

This might be a rough one. Civale is quite good and Taillon somehow has an ERA that's almost up to seven.
-
Seriously. *shakes head*

Writing for The Athletic, Jon Heyman has reported that the Cubs are not pursuing an extension of Marcus Stroman before the trade deadline. Hoyer seems to employ a "wait and see" approach and has stated that the Cubs aren't interested in negotiating with a player during the season. Stroman is a wild card and maybe that's leading to there being more rumors swirling around this than usual for a player in Stroman's situation, holding an opt-out clause in his contract after the completion of the 2023 season. Stroman is known for taking matters into his own hands, openly speaking about his contract situation and seemingly wanting to extend with the Cubs, though surely more on his terms than the team's. Ever the self-promoter, this may end up working in the right-hander's favor as contract time comes, as he has shown an ability to keep himself center stage and rally fans behind him, particularly given his stellar performance in 2023.
