  1. For some reason, I thought that Giolito was pitching 🫣
  2. I like it when the Cubs score more runs than the White Sox.
  3. 90 mph neck high. Is Giolito ok? That's a bit slow to be throwing up
  4. Some dude in the Cardinals had one that looked to be nine inches long this weekend.
  5. I don't speak White Sox. Was that a duck snort or a can of corn?
  6. Can't risk injury to either of them before the deadline.
  7. I just went to PSD to read any final posts and it has been replaced. 😞 I'm glad that we have a nice place to go. Thanks. Also thanks to 1908 for steering us in this direction.
  8. Am I watching an A.I. created game or did the Cubs take a two run lead?
  9. Was there a rules change over night that allows the Cubs' defense to escape the first inning scoreless?
  10. When discussing the value of Bellinger's compensation pick let's all realize that it will come after the second round. Given the unpredictable nature of the MLB draft I'd probably take a promising low A or even a developmental player that is more of a known quality than what a ~68th (ish) overall pick might be. $1,101,000 draft pool. The Cubs used that this year for Wiggins who has, in my opinion, a high ceiling but a below sea level floor. I believe that his era was 6+ over the last two seasons and he had surgery. That's what we're talking about if the Cubs opt for the comp pick. As many have said, it depends on the offer but let's not act like we're looking at a top 15 pick for not trading him. I want the best for the Cubs. I'm an unhealthy 52 and I truly understand that every season is sacred but I don't see this team knocking off the Braves, Dodgers, etc in the playoffs regardless of who they could acquire.
  11. I don't think that they'll spend money beyond flippable players until the talent starts to filter in from the minors. Once they see what they have and what they need, they'll supplement what they have with what they need or, trade excess for it. I doubt that the Ricketts care enough about winning beyond the difference that it makes to the bottom line. I'm thinking that we'll see what they have in 2025 and things may move from there and even that's optimistic based on the hope that enough prospects succeed.
  12. The official scorer has been kind to players on both teams tonight
  13. If only their hitting coach wasn't busy doing interviews during the game he could talk to them about it
  14. I don't know that I can put this on Stroman. He's probably thrown thirty extra pitches because of the clowning
  15. Matz is throwing everything high and they keep chasing
  16. There's no making up for all of the extra pitches on Stroman tonight.
