    Dansby's first strike the inning before was basically as bad. Some jarring misses for a game in 2026.
  2. Illiterate Scholar
    Pitchers with Brown's strikeout to walk numbers tend to end up being good
  3. Illiterate Scholar
    This the most dominant, stupidly close game
  4. Illiterate Scholar
    He received it so poorly that he fooled himself I think
  5. Illiterate Scholar
    We're really doing Seiya concern, 10 games in with his track record?
  6. Illiterate Scholar
    Obviously a bit erratic but Martin's stuff looked great
  7. Illiterate Scholar
    Nico would've been given 2nd base; they would not have thrown through. As has been stated, Kimbrel isnt a GB guy anyway. In that situation, the decision for Mendoza should've been to chase a strikeout which is more likely with Busch than Hoerner (split slashlines mean less when you dont need to reach base). Then choose whether to pitch to Bregman or I assume Amaya after him.
  8. Illiterate Scholar
    That's managerial malpractice pitching to Nico in that spot
  9. Illiterate Scholar
    Nice swing! Probably should've been a triple
  10. Illiterate Scholar
    Extending the losing streak on a blown save would provide some good content
  11. Illiterate Scholar
    Not having access to team facilities from Dec to at least March next year probably isn't ideal either. If that's how that works.
  12. Illiterate Scholar
    Great takes by Happ and Seiya. Also some serious respect for Ballesteros by Mendoza taking out his best pitcher knowing it was then going to be lefty v righty. Glad he was wrong!
  13. Illiterate Scholar
    Really curious as to what is ailing Rojas
  14. Illiterate Scholar
    That was a snoozer. These are some perfect conditions for Shota
  15. Illiterate Scholar
    Ian Happ concerns. Game threads are back baby
  16. Illiterate Scholar
    I had concerns about his ribs when we drafted him
  17. Illiterate Scholar
    He stared into the dugout the previous 2 pitches as well it looked like. I thought that seemed weird
  18. Illiterate Scholar
    Ian's RH swing is ready
  19. Illiterate Scholar
    Future Cubs 2nd baseman, Dansby Swanson!
  20. Illiterate Scholar
    Based on a 1 game sample, Shaw has some prime LF Soriano in him in that the eye test looks awful but he's so athletic that he grades out well
  21. Illiterate Scholar
    I think Sharma said recently that Snider has an early season opt out but didn't have one at the end of spring training. If he looks good at Iowa, we'll probably see him soon. Also if the plan for Shaw is to play a lot of outfield, we'll see if they think Carlson is worth a 40 man move. The fit might be a little awkward.
  22. Illiterate Scholar
    The September arm injury was a big factor as well I'm sure.
  23. Illiterate Scholar
    I'm still a firm believer in Matt Shaw the baseball player, but if Jed is still looking for pitching, it makes a lot of sense to trade him to the Red Sox for one of their optionable pitchers. Like the Marlins before, the Red Sox match up very well for a trade on paper. We'll see if the Sox opt for Paredes instead.
  24. Illiterate Scholar
    Apparently Crane said there will likely be less than 10 spring training games broadcast on Marquee, siting budget.
  25. Illiterate Scholar
    I kinda think he's gonna open up as the backup in CF. I have doubts that all 3 of Shaw, Ballesteros, and Alcantara will open the season on the MLB roster, barring injury to someone else. In theory, there's enough ABs but in reality the starters aren't the type who are going to get many days off unless they're injured, in which case depth ready to go in the minors is still helpful. Feels like one of the bench spots will go to a vet who they don't care if he gets like 4 ABs in April.
