  1. I'd like to see him consistently barreling the ball before we bring him back. Happy he's getting hits and getting his confidence up but those were all weak contact except the first one. EDIT: Jason stated two were over 100 MPH and I didnt see that. I think my overall thoughts still stand though.
  2. Oh, good! Didnt see that they announced an update.
  3. If the Imanaga injury is dl stint worthy, I bet hes the next pitcher up.
  4. I love the new blues but no. The pinstripes are great and timeless. No need to get rid of them.
  5. I hope Jack Bauer makes it to the show so we constantly get "24" references on every broadcast he pitches in.
  6. I'm gonna choose to drink the koolaid and believe that Tom finally got his head out of his ass.
  7. I think he fits the makeup of this team. He's a good player, elite defensively at 2nd base and constantly makes contact to move runners or to get on base. Would I rather have a guy with more power at 2nd? Yeah but I dont think Nico is a problem for the Cubs or anything. He's a guy where when he career with the Cubs is done, I will remember it fondly for his makeup, defense and contact approach. As of now, we dont really have a replacement for him. In the long run, maybe Christian Hernandez or Shaw establish themselves there but he's our best option at the moment.
  8. lmfao. That comment is great.
  9. Yeah. Mo Baller is almost off limits for me. The bat is too good imo and can cover any current defensive liablities he creates. He's still incredibly young. Keep developing him at catcher until he becomes serviceable and then bring him up. With the way Jed and Carter have talked about him in the past, I suspect they are holding onto him as tightly as possible.
  10. Is that the same arm he was born with or have they finally fully replaced it with a cyborg arm this time?
  11. Man, if he can just get that FB location locked in, he's an ace.
  12. Yeah that's what I was thinking. I also still believe in Shaw but I dont think it would hurt to consider an expiring contract for a couple months. He was the first name that popped into my head outside of Arenado but I dont see that ever happening. EDIT: I was wrong. I didnt realize he had signed an extension with Colorado. That makes that idea much less appealing.
  13. Man, Brethrowr wasnt even on my radar to start the season.
  14. I wonder if Ryan McMahon is a target at the trade deadline. He's been horrible with the bat to start the season but he's been consistent throughout his whole career so I think he will turn it around and hes a free agent next season.
  15. Thank you. I knew I had read that somewhere during the Othani saga.
  16. Man, Devin Taylor has really shot up boards. Especially for a guy who profiles as a LF/1B/DH. The offensive profile is terrific though.
  17. Doesnt Murakami have pretty bad K issues? Not saying he cant succeed or be a good player but I thought one of the major concerns with him is that he wont hit enough.
  18. He's almost ready. I'd like to see him go 90 pitches before they call him up.
  19. Crazy game. Love having faith in an offense again
  20. Who is the genius who decided to start the game? Did they even look at the radar?
  21. He might. We dont know yet. Im predicting 3.000 OPS at the end of the season. I did it in MLB the show, i see no reason why Kelly cant
  22. My brother got his autograph randomly in like 2002. He was a nice guy when we met him.
  23. Awesome. Thanks man! In his last start, he looked good and his stuff was filthy but it looked like he was still rusty with mechanics and command. Happy to hear a positive report. Looking forward to reading the article.
  24. I've got faith in Happ. He always starts slow. I wouldnt be surprised if hes still hitting like trash in mid may, but then we will look at his overall line at the end of the year and he will have career numbers or in line with them again.
  25. Truth. Maybe I will just post that emoji every day for the person at 3rd haha
