Agree. Bradish delayed having surgery at the start of the season and tried to pitch through it with R&R. Everyone knew what the end result was going to be for him. Now he's also likely to miss all of 2025. I know it's a tough decision, but I think I'd rather just bite the bullet and get it over with.
I have a void and have been waiting for a Cub to replace my love for Schwarber.
Right now, my current favorite player is probably Bobby Witt Jr. Absolute phenom.
Favorite Cub, I would probably go with Steele. Love the passion and drive.
What are the O's doing? Imagine being an O's fan with the team they have and the farm, knowing the club needs a TORP to go all in this year and this is the deadline they come up with? Eflin and Rogers plus eating Eloy's salary when you have a thousand bats already.
Yep, our public transportation is subpar. Everyone drives everywhere and tailgates for the games. One of the main concerns for a downtown ballpark is the streetcar will need to be expanded.
I wouldn't sweat it. The Cubs will keep him under 60 if they desire. He was on a 60.5 appearance pace the last time he pitched. Skip him a few times for rest, or even an IL stint will have us comfortably in the clear.
It's a nice stadium and it's fan friendly in terms of a large parking lot/tailgating. They're going to lose that aspect, which is big to KC folks. The area around is a shithole though and there's nothing to do outside of the stadiums. But the lease is up in 2030 and ownership has already announced they won't be renewing. It'll be downtown (The mockups have been nice) or they'll move to the Kansas side near the Legends area.
Yep it's exciting. The new ownership is actually making an effort to build a competitive team plus they've been trying to push a downtown stadium. Fielding a solid product along with a star like BWJr will help with that.
