  1. Kris Bryant turning into 3b Mark Grace sucks even if it means the Cubs get an extra half-win a year or something over the 35 HR version.
  2. Is this gonna be one of those things we "fixed" after we signed a guy?
  3. Almora's going to have a really bad slash line by the end of July.
  4. Counterpoint: He sucks and is bad. no we all agree Jesse Rogers is terrible Yu Darvish is the Jesse Rogers of pitching. Or the Grant Brisbee of being bad at pitching.
  5. Great, so to offset the one thing they're weirdly terrible at is the other thing they've weirdly become terrible at. YOU'RE FIRED, KYLE. Fine. Just go one time through the starting rotation without giving up an unearned run and you've erased an entire season's worth of sucking at 3b,<2. There, we already did that.
  6. You don't find it meaningful? The difference between the Cubs and league average last year, across the Cubs' number of chances, was 10.7 runs. And that's partially because the Cubs are awesome at hitting and get more chances than the average team. The difference across the average number of chances would have been closer to 9. Just hit like one extra dinger every 35 games or so and you can erase it.
  7. I hope they stay 30th in that stat forever just to annoy people who care about it.
  8. OK, maybe Gray is just too good. Drafting Bryant was a mistake?
  9. Nope, sorry, we suck tonight and they should be ashamed of their sucking. What's their wRC+ for tonight?
  10. A lot? Of the 8 qualified hitters 2 are under 100 for wRC+ and one of those guys is Rizzo. They have a lot of bad hitters *today*
  11. Kyle Hendricks' change-up is the sexiest pitch currently thrown by any Cub.
  12. Allen Robinson had one season three years ago where he led the league in receptions and was 6th in receiving yards. He wasn't particularly close to the top 10 in either his last full season. That's not close to elite.
  13. The scoreless streak is now 23 innings. The Cubs have not given up multiple runs in an inning in 41 innings.
  14. This is really gonna cheapen our NLCS win this year.
  15. I hate giving out A's when you didn't add any unquestionably elite, impact talent. I'd call it a B+, he filled a lot of holes and he did it admirably. But that's just semantics about how letter grades translate.
  16. Keep Heyward forever as a reminder that opt-outs are never perfunctory or meaningless. They are always hugely in the player's favor.
  17. I can live with non-dominant four-game sweeps
  18. Everything that's been reported says Daniels will compete at LG, and keep Whitehair at C. Why not just draft a true guard then? Because it's literally the exact same job minus snapping the ball?
  19. Blackhawks will pick 8th overall, I believe dropping one spot in the lottery, so someone moved up a ton.
  20. Also I still strongly suspect that Almora kinda sucks in a 4th outfielder sorta way, but I can wait until he's done BABIPing .450 before I have that argument.
  21. Ronny Cedeno was basically 10 years ago, so yeah.
