  1. Looks like a great play now
  2. Well me too:)..... GO WINGS!!
  3. As much as I pretend to try.....I cannot give 2 poops about the Blue Jackets
  4. Looks like 3B is not really a thing. Everything I've read leads me to a hard no. Even as a Justin Turner replacement, I think the Cubs can find a cheaper just as good option.
  5. I understand its the Dodgers and they are 9-1 so far this post season. Also, have rather fresh SP. I just dont get why they are so heavily favored. Except for SP, Toronto is just as good or better in most other areas. I really wouldnt be completely surprised if Toronto wins or even wins in 5 or 6.
  6. They are still +145 to win their division. That is crazy for a 1-5 team.
  7. I really want him next year. Not so excited after that
  8. And it really doesnt matter if another team wants him and he is willing to go. Its just money and these college football donors keep throwing more and more at them
  9. I actually would love the Cubs to offer him a 5 yr deal with 45 mill the first year and 30 million the next 4. 5 years 165 million. With an opt out after year 1 and 3
  10. You would have to trade something to get a TOR starter. Assuming Ballesteros and Caisse are part of the replacing Tucker plan. What else is left? I think Shaw is playing 140 games at 3rd next year and any pitching improvements will be FAs. Which from a Cub fan perspective means finding value in the secondary market
  11. I dont mind the current playoff system. But I would start the Division series on Friday and only have 1 off day in the Division series. That would make winning the WC in 2 games a bigger priority, give the teams with a bye a bigger edge and prioritize starting pitching more
  12. You should watch Illinois a few years ago when Walter's was DC
  13. He was very impressive vs the Reds and Phillies also.
  14. Snell, Yamamoto, Ohtani and Glasnow are going to be hard to beat for anyone....especially a team that is scrapping together outs from anywhere. Watching this post season makes it obvious the Cubs have to get better at starting pitching.....AND have them healthy and pitching good in October
  15. I agree with your point on his weight. I disagree with his ability to play 1st
  16. I live in central Illinois, nothing Milwaukee ever does touches my disdain for the Cardinals and all the effing Cardinal/Packers fans that live around here
  17. I already have a $20 wager that he will hit 25 HRs next season if he is not a White Sox.
  18. I have no data to back this up...just my observation. Ballesteros looks quite a bit more beefy than Kirk
  19. Is Moises Ballesteros body type a concern? Can he get work next year as a 3rd catcher? When Amaya inevitably gets hurt can take some turns catching?
  20. I am not a statistician or English major. I always think the word rating implies a certain level of subjectivity. When you rate something, even if you use stats to support your rating, your actual rating is still an opinion.
  21. In his rookie year he was about middle of the league in 3rd base production. I think people who want someone else are going to be disappointed. I think he is already penciled in at 3rd for next season.
  22. Cignetti's bank acct had a good day yesterday. A very big programs job came open the same day Indiana solidified themselves as a national contender.
  23. I would kick in $20 for MSU to hire Franklin. I know PSU fans are going to clamor for Cignati, but they are going to settle for Manny Diaz or something like that.
  24. Why not? Edit, I think they would be just as likely to resign him as the Cubs would if they traded for him
