    What a strange time to bring in a lefty. Why not just walk Happ to get to PCA?
  2. Geographyhater8888
    Nice discipline from P C Armstrong so far.
  3. Geographyhater8888
    Mikolas is afraid to throw his fastball today.
  4. Geographyhater8888
    Nico with the first effective double for 2026 Cubs.
  5. Geographyhater8888
    Same reason James wood is leading off the Nationals. More at bats for your best hitters. That’s the logic.
  6. Geographyhater8888
    .7 of Busch’s 3.5 wins last year were compiled in both of Mikolas’s starts against the Cubs.
  7. Geographyhater8888
    Bichette got 3/$126 with an opt out after the season, mainly for his offensive ceiling. You might not like the length of the deal but in no way is this an overpay. A decade ago, sure.
  8. Geographyhater8888
    Because more times on base means more run scoring opportunities. The hitter who goes 4/4 with 4 singles would have a slightly higher wOBA than the hitter who goes 2/4 with a home run and a double despite the same OPS. Intuitively it makes sense from a team success standpoint. It’s similar to passer rating vs ANY/A in football.
  9. Geographyhater8888
    Despite PCAs OPS being nearly 30 points higher. That’s one of the biggest gaps in wOBA to OPS I’ve ever seen. Nico’s wOBA was actually 1 point higher too.
  10. Geographyhater8888
    I’m not optimistic or pessimistic. I don’t know horsefeathers. That’s why I come here to ask questions. All I see is a an infielder who sits in the 60 of most prospect rankings and that’s the extent of my knowledge. I prefer this over reading twitter posts projecting a 2030 cubs lineup of long, ballesteros, Shaw, Rojas, Alcantara, PCA Busch and some random second baseman.
  11. Geographyhater8888
    Do they trade Rojas or is he Swanson’s contingency plan? Do they trade Shaw or audition him in the outfield and slide Nico over to SS and put him at second base when Swanson walks?
  12. Geographyhater8888
    Correct. If this means they go out and sign Skubal next winter, (I doubt it), package Shaw and or Rojas who’ll be blocked until 2030 for a corner outfield bat, or believe Shaw can develop into a 4 war outfielder, great.
  13. Geographyhater8888
    What does having 3 early-mid 30’s infielders under contract in 2029, the teams highest paid players ATM, say about their faith in Shaw/Rojas and by extension their player development?
  14. Geographyhater8888
    I can’t believe they’ve scored 4 runs with weak ass contact all game. They haven’t barreled anything.
  15. Geographyhater8888
    It’s a miracle they even have 3 runs with so much weak contact.
  16. Geographyhater8888
    Way too much hard contact.
  17. Geographyhater8888
    Good aim by Busch.
  18. Geographyhater8888
    Did he pull it?
  19. Geographyhater8888
    Which horsefeathers end of the Kingery, Conforto and Carlson twig stinks the least?
  20. Geographyhater8888
    Cassie would’ve spent opening day in Iowa along with Alcantara where he isn’t blocked and rotting on the bench. Shaw learning how to play the outfield is a practical way to maximize his plate appearances. I don’t think they’re throwing darts at a board
  21. Geographyhater8888
    Correct. If he ever does figure it out then it’s a good bet it’ll happen before he turns 30.
  22. Geographyhater8888
    Every right handed in house platoon option at 1st base is a reverse split guy outside of Kelly. Has Kelly taken reps at 1st base?
  23. Geographyhater8888
    Im not sure how a 32 YO, slower PCA with bad plate discipline and declining bat speed will age either. We have him locked up for his entire peak.
  24. Geographyhater8888
    88-94. Swapping Bregman with near replacement level production from third base should be enough to offset the loss of Tucker. .
  25. Geographyhater8888
    I’m surprised he didn’t bet on himself. I hope he wins a few MVPs and regrets it.
