    Jayden Murray?
  2. JunkyardWalrus
    Ted Roosevelt Lily threw 7 no hit innings the following game. I was there! ( after an extremely dangerous drive from Muskegon after the ferry to Milwaukee was canceled due weather.)

    Can Hartshorn Pitch?
  4. JunkyardWalrus
    Fun!

    September and still throwing spaghetti at the wall for bullpen arms

    I never want to hear a word about the 'pitching lab.' Either hurt or ineffective is all it has produced. Sure a pop up reliever, but the Cubs aren't unique in that. Happens every team every year. Jed should be flogged for basically doubling down on a horsefeathers staff. What you get bargain bin shopping, then buying band aids at the deadline. Can't wait to do it all again next year. Best offense and defense and the Cubs pitching lab!

    Happy Birthday! Way to lap that star!

    Bout time he did something!

    Man, I hope every one of the Cubs prospects go on an ‘Ayers-esque trajectory.’ but I would like to rename it: ‘Going Hartshorn,' just my two-bits.

    Be nice if he didn’t start against LHP for the rest of the season, but in a walk year, I doubt Counsell does that to him. Also, has anyone dug into Busch and his horsefeathers year and I missed it? It’s a pretty dramatic drop in production from who was our best hitter last season. Where’d his power go? xslg of .401? Yikes.
  12. JunkyardWalrus
    Two man outfield!? So many possibilities!
  13. JunkyardWalrus
    So glad he wasn’t moved at the deadline. He looks in control of his abs, for the most part, whereas his peers, Alcantara, Mo B, Shaw, Cassie, etc., look reactionary if not a bit lost. Ala PCA before he became a monster.* I dunno. He seems to get it, and he’s what, 22? 2 years younger than Shaw and PCA? Would like to see him get a couple days more days in the field, just to get the regulars more rest. Including Busch. He seems to be pretty damn good at 3b, and can hold serve at 2b. Should be able to handle 1b. He's also played 37 innings in LF last year in AA, didn’t have a chance at AAA before being promoted. I have no idea how he looked out there, but him in the OF isn’t unprecedented. (* - Bregman has already been worth the contract, in my eyes, just for his PCA whispering. Whatever else happens with him is gravy)

    I'm still in awe Jed traded my favorite player for my favorite player. I horsefeathers on him often, but I couldn't be happier this is happening to Ol Stevie Cohen. How horsefeathers lucky we are this season.
  15. JunkyardWalrus
    I'm trying to be happy that Jed finally did a Lil sumthin, but the clouds I see are it's less currency to fill the same holes in the off season, then spend next trade deadline 'looking for 'controllable pitching.' Part of my frustration is that these trades perpetuate the cycle to continue, viciously and endlessly.
  16. JunkyardWalrus
    I thought that was the lineup! I thought to myself, “Huh, that’s fun."
  17. JunkyardWalrus
    6-1 bitches! JAssad don’t give a two shits about your metricritics. Baserunners? He’s lonely. He loves ‘em. But, he’s also a mysterious loner, so he strands them, like the homeless girls he dates.
  18. JunkyardWalrus
    Sarcasm anyone?
  19. JunkyardWalrus
    Does this feel like enough to compete with Milwaukee and/or LA in a series to anyone?
  20. JunkyardWalrus
    I mean, maybe? Two back end Top 20 talents for a rental?
  21. JunkyardWalrus
    Yeah, that turned out well. PCA is the only player left from Darvish, Schwarber, Rizzo, Baez and Bryant, I believe. Didn’t really do so well on those trades, and the Bellinger salary dump still smacks my hoes.
  22. JunkyardWalrus
    Have the Cubs made an impactful trade at the deadline since Chapman? (Soroka aside)
  23. JunkyardWalrus
    Mo?!
  24. JunkyardWalrus
    Get Trout if they are unloading!
  25. JunkyardWalrus
    He's returning some video tapes...
