  1. Pick your spots. It's more glorious when you know he knows he was wrong but can't admit it, even to himself. #offseasoncatchups
  2. i still believe jackson is an unlucky average pitcer
  3. He can be the plate-approach Goofus to Manny's Gallant.
  4. The whole "Soler gets a September call-up to make up some at-bats" theory gains a lot of traction if he has a good showing in the coming months.
  5. We'll see. There's still plenty of downsides to going big. a) They don't want to blow all their flexibility and have none in later years b) They need pitching, and top free-agent pitchers are still bad value c) If Bryant and Alcantara don't transition to the majors well, they won't get there regardless d) They don't really have an excess of prospects to trade. It's not an excess until you are filled in well at the major leagues, which they aren't. There's still tons of holes. They can afford to stay the course, keep their pile of assets intact and still see a massive increase in wins next year with a shot at contention but not going big until 2016.
  6. I think I sense optimism out of you. You really, really liked this trade, didn't you? I did. For the same reasons I was meh on the Garza trade and still am. Quantity sucks, pitchers suck. Elite hitting prospects are the best thing you can get.
  7. Screw it time to root for draft position
  8. They claim no injury just fatigue. Might have to settle for just Russell instead of Castro for him.
  9. Welcome to the Daytona Cubs, Billy McKinney. Your debut is now on rain delay.
  10. I saw this episode of Sports Night
  11. http://www.hautetalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/what-is-happening-gif.gif
  12. Slim. They are already insanely young for their league and they are literally kids in a foreign country for the first time.
  13. Yeah, Castro's just a stupid brown guy who could never understand value and team control and the fact that guys like Bryant, Baez, and Russell will make them contenders very soon. And I also really doubt that Arrieta has all too much ill will towards the organization that just transformed his career. Now I'm wondering if *you* don't understand that it's possible to be simultaneously mad that something happened and understand that it'll be better in the long run.
  14. I was just thinking about Marco Hernandez yesterday. Is he still a thing? Reasonably young and playing SS and not getting killed.
  15. They went with a 24-man roster yesterday. Parker just got called up this morning to fill in the other spot.
  16. Just kidding, they're probably reading Keith Law tweets in the dugout and calculating draft position after each loss.
  17. They have to go out there and play baseball every day and try to win games and it's probably kind of annoying to think "Hey, we've won four in a row and have been playing pretty good for two months" and then all of a sudden you're losing 13-0 and Villanueva/Rusin are piggybacking.
  18. They'll get over it by next spring, but I imagine there are some really pissed off players in the Cubs' locker room right now. You mean at the FO right? Yes.
  19. They'll get over it by next spring, but I imagine there are some really pissed off players in the Cubs' locker room right now.
  20. Hey you're a guy in a sport where lately guys have been falling off cliffs post-30 and also you play a position known for having your body fall apart without warning at any time and possibly ending you career. Do you mind spending 5 years in baseball hell and then maybe 2 or three more because we've got a plan to be awesome when you're 33? No? Pffft, I can't believe you don't understand.
