    Not just that, but I love getting into a team's bullpen early the first game of a series. It limits their options throughout the rest of the series. This was more true back in the days of 11-man pitching staffs, but I think it does give a small advantage still in this era if the manager is making bullpen decisions tomorrow with two or three guys "unavailable".

    Someone needs to change the icon in this forum to reflect the now Knoxville Smokies.

    You mean we can't generalize an entire generation? A generation that contained members some of which corrupted corporate America beyond recognition and others burned their draft cards and performed sit-ins to stand up for equal rights? Its irresponsible you say? Obnoxiously silly you say? Sorry, I felt the absence of a certain someone as I read your post. I poked a bear no longer there. *sigh*

    One might even say he’s the ultimate team player.

    Seiya is the man. Great ballplayer, and great team player.

    Except that at some point it will cool down and he will have to take walks to use his base stealing as a threat. See Dansby early. Couldn't hit his way out of a paper bag, but kept taking his walks. Fortunately with PCA (as with Dansby) his defense will carry him through slumps. He just has So. Many. Weapons.

    If you ever played corner infield you’ve had it drilled into your head: pick it up before it rolls fair.

    That's unpossible. Infathomable. Inconscionable

    This is not at all the same as suggesting Busch play 3B. Across all levels, Busch has twice as much time at 2B as at 1B, and half as much time at 3B as 1B. It is a perfectly reasonable suggestion. I don't agree with it, but it's not at all absurd like you make it out to be.

    I turn 50 next year. Graduated undergrad in the 1900's (1999). Gross.

    How 'bout now?

    Richie Hebner?

    As a lifelong Cubs fan I know we can’t have nice things. I wonder what happens when the league adjusts and how he will be able to react. I hope this a new normal (with obvious significant regression) but I’ve known too many Frank Schwindell’s.

    Willie McGee with more pop?

    Blasphemer!

    I like this Al Sharpton version of you.

    What an inning. That's what winning teams do. They didn't fold after some frustrating developments. Busch just went way up in my estimation.

    See, I feel like this is an opportunity to get a look and get them some rest. Instead of going every 5 days in Iowa, bring one up the one time you need a fifth starter (lots of off days) and the other up once when you don't need a fifth starter to get Imanaga an extra day of rest once in there. With all the off days you could *almost* go six day rotation with the off day as the sixth man. Get each of them some extra rest when you send them back down. This gets you well through May (at least one off day every week in May) and now you're looking at teams that aren't competing being a little more ready to deal.

    Two games up on Milwaukee feels … necessary… heading into this series.

    I feel like I should feel worse about this than I do. I really like this team's depth and ability to spend at the deadline. I feel like they were ready for this (not saying they were expecting it, but could be). Shota can deal, Boyd looks legit, Taillon still has plenty in the tank. If two of Brown, Assad, Wicks, Horton and Rea can do something this offense has the upside to really be something. Or go trade for a Mariner.

    Ever had tendinitis?

    If this team looks approaching the trade deadline anywhere close to as good as this team looks now, it has to be in the budget to add a closer (which would still keep us well below the first threshold), Right? .... Right? *sigh*

    We have yet to see the nincompoop emerge on the bases. Perhaps he's evolving. All joking aside, if he can all but eliminate TOOTBLAN from his game, he really doesn't have to hit much to be extremely valuable, as you demonstrated.

    I heard in the broadcast that Braiser is "not making much progress". I haven't heard on Miller and Assad. If you can bump Brown to the bullpen to make room for Assad, add Miller and Little, I feel like that's a great bullpen. One that I feel good about top to bottom. Miller, Braiser (eventually) and Rea are the kind of relievers who *could* come in a game you are losing and hold the deficit of 2 or 3 until this juggernaut offense can come back in. The last few years it felt like if you put in the low men on the totem pole, you were conceding the game.

    Still on the radar. Cubs have scouts at the retirement homes these days.
