    New phone, who dis is?

    After the sock drills!

    Maybe in trade rumors? A la PCA when the Cubs traded for him?

    Alcantara looked like a yodeller at a polka party.

    Besides homer in your next ab, then walk it off!

    Pete had two really fun moments in the last week: the ‘overrated’ homerun and his redemption arc last night after losing the fly ball. Just wanted to make note. Most fun player to watch since Javy ’19.

    Nothing between ‘Star’ and ‘Scrub’ for some. Either, or.

    Worst uniforms ever?

    …about winning as long as they make money.

    Wish SB had another series against the White Caps in GR, sucks I just missed them!

    I’d like to se KA in CF this weekend and PCA on the bench. There is a teaching moment somewhere in here that I hope Counsell finds. The White Sox altercation, back to back days with mental mistakes against the division rival at home. Mistakes of not finishing the play. It shouldn’t stand. (It’s also obvious he needs a mental break.) He’s my favorite player on the team, but horsefeathers like that shouldn’t go unchecked. (Like Shaw bouncing on the team to watch fireworks.) Problem is, no one else can play CF with any regularity but the guy finally starting to clobber AAA.

    I wish Jed would spend $$ on Starting Pitching in the offseason, rather than prospects in season. Seems like a yearly occurrence (aside from ’16 of course)
  14. JunkyardWalrus
    Won’t be funny when he’s back!
  15. JunkyardWalrus
    I don’t believe anything should be done with KA except let him continue to develop in AAA. The franchise is losing two OFs this off-season and he’s the top OF prospect and at AAA already. Is there anyone else on the 40 man that can play CF if PCA misses any time?
  16. JunkyardWalrus
    That's pretty good, right?

    Gage Tater Workman?

    Would be nice to have some value out of any of our first round rounds aside from the Horton’s second half. They go like this. - Horton (125 IP total 2.2 fWar) - Wicks (95 IP total for .3 fWar) - Jensen (still in AAA apparently, #35 organizational prospect) - Lange (Less than 200 IP for less than 1 total fWAR) - Little (three 2/3 of an inning for Chicago, 118 IP for .2 career fWAR based on his sole positive season in ’25) Then it goes Blackburn, Pierce Johnson, Hayden Simpson, Cashner, Mark Pawelek, Matthew Clanton, Chadd Blasko, Luke Hagerty and dear old sweet Bobby Brownlie. Before you get back to Prior (657 Innings 16.3 fWar (7.8 in ’03)) Not the most inspiring list.

    Chances any of this has to do with the new pitching lab and infrastructure?

    Seiya hit his career high in HRs last year, but was he a better offensive player for it? (His BB% and K% remained largely the same (Ks were actually down about 2% 2025) 2024 - 585 PAs .283/.366/.482 - 21 HRs 16 SB 137wRC+ 2025 - 651 PAs .245/.326/.478 - 32 HRs 5 Sb 123wRC+ He scored the same amount of runs and drove in about 30 more in 2025. Maybe a team without loads of raw power shouldn’t be trying to focus on yanking homeruns? Maybe they should and it will all pay off? I dunno.

    Thank you all for taking the time to post these! It’s appreciated!

    39 walks in 649 plate appearances 8 walks in 53 already this year. Seems like quite a difference.
  23. JunkyardWalrus
    If this is what Nico is, I’m the horsefeathers. And happy about it. Where has this patience come from?
  24. JunkyardWalrus
    Ha! Fair.
  25. JunkyardWalrus
    Seems like a perfect opportunity for Brown to step up and take a spot in the rotation.
