  1. I forgot about that left shoulder. Maybe it's affecting him more than I assumed. Makes a lot of sense to save him for Gm 2 or 3. They could really start any of their 5 SP this series, none is clearly superior or terrible. I wonder if they treat Holmes more like a long reliever, maybe save him for a few innings in Game 3.
  2. Did Sunday's game have World Series implications if they both got there? If Sox won they'd have a tied season record i believe.
  3. Yes I agtee on all this I would guess a 0% chance Seiya takes it. No idea how many years he'd get. Let the Seiya rumors begin! https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/09/blue-jays-interested-in-seiya-suzuki.html
  4. New poll idea: Who do you dislike more: Manny Machado or The Miz?
  5. 100% chance they both get offered a QO and i think the odds of Happ taking the QO is very low. The Cubs themselves would very likely offer him more than 1/22 or whatever the QO salary is this year.
  6. Happ's only issue was LHP. Versus RHP this year he put up 127 wRC+, which is virtually identical to every other season since 2021. He's hit about 100 wRC+ vs LHP in those years, but this year it was 36. With a Tyrone Taylor platoon it shouldn't really affect us this postseason. I suppose its possible some teams might miss this and assume he's just age regressing, and we can resign him at a decent contract.
  7. Owen Ayers sighting on the bench during the game today sitting between Pete and Amaya.
  8. For the playoffs, Boog said he thinks they probably go with 12 pitchers. That means 2 get cut. So Garrett and Thielbar?
  9. There were many boos in Philly during that game lol
  10. Looks like the Cubs are playing the Padres in SD in the 1st round. Playing a hot team in their home park isn't ideal, but maybe the warmer weather wakes up the bats. They can rest some regulars tomorrow too.
  11. They won't trade Amaya. If the past is any indication they'll probably sign some other catcher to go with Amaya and keep Ayers in AAA as backup and work him in over the season that way. If he looks decent maybe he be our #2 with Amaya in 2028. It's possible Kelly gets a 2 year deal from somebody. I'm doubtful the Cubs would match that.
  12. There needs to be stats for performance in cold vs moderate vs hot weather. Could be useful with multi-yrar samples.
  13. Leading the wildcard most of the year then tanking in the final couple of weeks is really nice to see. If they finish in the 3rd WC spot they face the Dodgers not the Brewers in the 2nd round.
  14. Is Bregman wearing a cream-colored face mask or is that just the color of his disgusting bruise?
  15. Good for Taylor. Elise Menaker knows a ton about ball and I hope she takes over, she's excellent.
  16. Rotation and pen has been very good lately. A good sign at least.
  17. Bat him 6th i say. He really needs to fix his swing decisions. And Dansby just needs to stop pulling off the ball. Watching him hit us torture. 2 very easy fixes a blind man could see.
  18. I'm fine with trading anyone in the entire org besides PCA if it makes the team better.
