Has anyone seen PCA, Tucker or Boyd at all during the home run derby? I am shocked not to see PCA up front watching and having fun.
-
I think if Conrad hasn’t hurt his shoulder he wouldn’t have even been available to the Cubs. Sounds a like like the PCA situation when the Cubs traded for him. Had his shoulder not been a problem at the time of the deal thrnCubs probably couldn’t have gotten him. Hope it ends the same way. I do trust the Cubs with that one.
-
Absolutely, if he can play 3rd a bit.
-
I’m not sure it will be done by Friday. But I agree with you he will be extended and it will happen soon rather than later. maybe they do one stop announcing. Jed, PCA and Tucker extended….. 😬
-
But he already said he can’t play 3rd. He told the Yankees that at the start of the season.
-
Who do they have to get RJ fit your criteria? Or are they just going to be underdogs when an opposing team pitches an ace?
-
The list of meh picks continues. Don’t get it. Obviously the Cubs are seeing something most others don’t see or agree with. Maybe Jed was instructed not to spend on the draft🤷. So they are going cheap.
-
Is Wing really much of an overshot? I mean he was projected around 100 and went 120th. Is that really something they have to pay that much for? I understand their situation. But it looks like they took a lot of meh players and/ir seniors, gearing up for a big bonus pick soon. And if not, they draft was kind of uneventful. Doesn’t mean it will turn out bad. Just means they didn’t draft what the consensus of experts thought was value. 🤷

I mean, I only know what is written by scouts and where guys are ranked that the Cubs took. But I have to say I am a bit underwhelmed by what they have done up until now. Where are they spending this money? Sounds like so far they might have 2 guys people are excited about. The rest were reaches or at best, about where they should be. College seniors are also a way to not towns money on a signing. They did that a few times. There has to be something big happening, right?
-
I would think all here would do that. I would think Wiggins is a guy they deal INLY if they get someone with some years of control back, and who is good now. For the right rental I can see Wicks traded. Not sure about Brown.
-
What big swings can the Cubs take? I mean, are there really guys available who are worth giving 2nd round money to, drafted in round 4 thru 7. And, if so, why weren’t they drafted already? Is a gig time HS guy going to opt out of a college xommitment for 2nd rd money?
-
Thanks Bertz. TBH, the reason I asked about him is I just added him to my fantasy team with the hopes the Sox trade him to a good team and I can get something out of him, for nothing. And if he was a guy, all the better, if it was a trade to the Cubs.
-
For the guys that know underlying numbers, is Adrian Houser a guy the Cubs should consider for the right price? He is a guy CC is familiar with. And he has had very good results so far.
-
If they get 3 of these 5 it will be a good trade deadline.
-
They are not saying the ball is hit in that exact location. If the ball is hit as hard as Swanson hit it with the same launch angle and hit to the exact spot he hit it, 100 balls hit like that would all be outs. Why are you being so hard headed about this? Bottom line is all a ballplayers can try to do is hit the ball hard and in the air. If he does that he did a good job, regardless of it it is caught. A ball hit that hard with that launch angle results I. An actual hit 57% of the time. That is making great contract. He can’t help it went right to someone.
-
Why Jason. I am not doubting you. I am asking you because I value your opinion.
-
Shaw came in for defense a few innings ago.
-
Looks like Pomoranz next inning. Why? I don’t really like this move. Rather it be Theilbar. Or even Brasier.
-
Baseball is just stupid. A guy hits a ball over 100 mph for an out with guys in and fans suggest he choked. But then a guy hit a blooper at 58MPH that falls in and dans love him. Stupid game. I will take that blooper now.
-
Exactly. So soon enough the tide has to turn. At best they are a mid to high 80’s win team that has played at 113 win pace for 1/4 of the year. They will tail off.
-
Swanson hit a line drive over 100mph with 2 guys on. Is that him not coming through or not lucky after doing everything right?
-
Ok, thanks. I didn’t see that. I did read that IF they sold they probably wouldn’t sell both Kelly and Gallen.
-
I agree. But that doesn’t mean they will.
-
Based on the second part of your comment, it appears you do know why Suarez isn’t commented on all the time. They need starting pitching much more. Suarez withdrew be great. But I think they will address pitching first.
-
Has that been suggested by their FO?
