doubleheader myths about winning or splitting
treebird replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
doing research will report back -
as part of #teammanythread i propose we use this thread for discussing ideal doubleheader strategy (bullpen usage, lineups, roster management, etc.) and nothing else
-
It's poorly worded, but I think the takeaway is that the Red Sox weren't interested in paying for young catchers(read: multiple years of control), when they have multiple young guys who will be great options in future seasons. They wanted a stop gap, and the Cubs were likely not pricing Castillo as a stop gap. i hope i'm wrong, but i expect the return here to suggest the cubs were pricing castillo as a waste of a roster spot.

super horrified that montero is immediately going to get injured now but glad to be done with three catchers. it's just completely untenable, especially given that we insist on carrying a million pitchers.

Baez removed from AAA game
treebird replied to Guancous's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
this one even made me mad STOP IT WITH BAD THREAD TITLES -
heyward seemed like such a good bet to play the same amazing defense and ride a solid uptick on offense to downballot mvp consideration. i guess there's still time, but his peripherals don't exactly suggest he just needs his luck to normalize.

the 8 hbp is super arbitrary so who cares, but it's not sammy. sosa's career high in hbp for a full season was 6.

why should we have to play even one game with a nonexistent bench?
-

-

-

I once had a hat vendor say, "[expletive], you have a big head". I had to special order a bike helmet because I couldn't find one in store that would fit. In little league, we always used to have to have one helmet designated specifically for me. Most years, there were a couple helmets I could force onto my head and be extraordinarily uncomfortable. But for a few years there, there was just the one helmet. And I would have to stop play and go get it if one of my teammates thought it would be funny to wear it and was still stuck on base when I'd be coming up to bat. that is hilarious that your teammates would wander around the bases swimming in your giant helmet. there was a kid on my high school team who had a giant head. i think someone said he had to have steroids when he was a baby and that caused it, but i don't know if that's true. anyway, our coach called around and couldn't get a helmet that would fit him. eventually, he ordered the biggest adjustable helmet he could find. adjusted all the way out, it still wouldn't fit, so then he took a knife and cut all the padding out of the inside. just the height of safety and comfort, i'm sure. he could squeeze it on to his head then, though. thank god he never got drilled.

Cubs Mets deal inevitable?
treebird replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
hopefully this series has proven to the mets once and for all that hitters are better than pitchers and that they should adjust they trade offers accordingly. -
this catcher sucks, right? go time.
-
lololol what if rizzo had slipped and fallen on his ass there

glad to see maddon read the thread about him on here and is now ready to use hector in non-save spots.
