    Yeah. Maybe. That's a fair evaluation. He can do all that in AAA which is perfectly ok. I dont want to see him pitching in the big leagues right now until he has a long string of success down there. Cubs pitching has more than enough problems right now. His stuff just looks so hittable right now and for a guy whos supposed to have an elite changeup, it doesnt look elite to me.
  2. JBears79
    I'm kind of done with Wicks right now. He is so far down the pitching depth chart now for me.
  3. JBears79
    Hope he's back and starting where he left off last season. I had him picked to make quite a few starts this year pre injury.

    Fan fell on the field

    I have no clue what the Cubs are gonna do with Mo Baller this year, but I don't think you can trade him for anything short of an ace. The bat is special.
  6. JBears79
    I saw him mocked as high as 19 the other day. I'm interested in him. Though I would prefer a college hitter.
  7. JBears79
    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.
  8. JBears79
    Oh, good! Didnt see that they announced an update.
  9. JBears79
    If the Imanaga injury is dl stint worthy, I bet hes the next pitcher up.
  10. JBears79
    I love the new blues but no. The pinstripes are great and timeless. No need to get rid of them.
  11. JBears79
    I hope Jack Bauer makes it to the show so we constantly get "24" references on every broadcast he pitches in.
  12. JBears79
    I'm gonna choose to drink the koolaid and believe that Tom finally got his head out of his ass.
  13. JBears79
    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.
  14. JBears79
    lmfao. That comment is great.
  15. JBears79
    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.
  16. JBears79
    Is that the same arm he was born with or have they finally fully replaced it with a cyborg arm this time?
  17. JBears79
    Man, if he can just get that FB location locked in, he's an ace.
  18. JBears79
    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.
  19. JBears79
    Man, Brethrowr wasnt even on my radar to start the season.
  20. JBears79
    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.
  21. JBears79
    Thank you. I knew I had read that somewhere during the Othani saga.
  22. JBears79
    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.
  23. JBears79
    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.
  24. JBears79
    He's almost ready. I'd like to see him go 90 pitches before they call him up.
  25. JBears79
    Crazy game. Love having faith in an offense again
