  1. Wish yous guys would stop making predictions. Yeesh!
  2. How many pitches out of the zone have the first 8batters swung at?
  3. Didn't think about the 40. But Nick has been really good on defense but provides absolutely nothing on offense.
  4. He played the last two games for Iowa.
  5. Is David Bote worth another try instead of Mastro. He's versatile on defense and at least provides a little pop. Madrigal can't hit the ball past a drawn in outfield and Mastro's only real redeeming qualities are his versatility and left-handedness. I know he's not really in the Cubs future, but could he be worse than those two. Maybe they catch lightening in a bottle again for a few weeks.
  6. Jose Abreu of the .099/.156/.113 slash line, is being optioned to the Minors. He's agreed to work on his timing/hitting. I guess the Atros opted not to make up a phony injury.
  7. First person that jumped to mind regarding this was Chris Sale. I don't know that he was "The Closer", per se, but he was definitely the 8th inning guy and then was closing some games by years end. Don't remember if that was due to injury, performance, etc.
  8. Jameson Taillon thru his first 3 starts in 2023: 14 innings, 15 hits, 7 ER, 4.50 ERA, AVG .263, GO/AO 0.59, WHIP 1.36 Cubs record 0-3 Jameson Taillon thru his first 3 starts in 2024: 18 innings, 14 hits, 3ER, 1.50 ERA, AVG .204, GO/AO 0.88, WHIP 0.94. Cubs record 3-0 Clearly not going to post the numbers across the entire season. But what a huge boost it would be if JT could be closer to this start of the season as opposed to last season.
  9. I don't know, maybe the infielders can stop throwing dirt balls. That would be a nice start.
  10. I do not like 4-game series. Sweeps - nearly impossible, Winning the series - well, that extra game seems to make it really tough. A split - meh (unless they lose 2 of the first 3).
  11. Don't know the age of any of the NSBB posters, but ESPN caters to the under 35 crowd.
  12. South Siders scored 9 runs last night against Tampa (seriously, they did), and then scored 8 tonight in the walk off 8-6 win over the Rays. Their first "winning streak" of the season.
  13. Well that's kind of a problem for a third baseman, right?
  14. Morel seems to very often have difficulties getting the ball out of his glove.
  15. This guy versus This guy Porn 'stache versus Mullet. I'll go with the Mullet. For this game. Not personally.
  16. The White Sox really have been one of the worst franchises in the history of Major League Baseball. When have they ever had sustained success. And they hardly ever make the playoffs. And when they do, they almost always fizzle out right away. What other franchise is worse over the course of their history??
  17. This guy versus This guy Wonder if the Red Sox pitcher realizes he spells his name wrong. Also, Shota should really add a C and an E to the end of his name.
  18. Good call. I was watching post game and they were talking about Assad’s streak of 4+ innings with giving up only 1 or 0 runs. Guess that planted the seed. But he’s just seems to be consistently solid ever time he goes out to the mound. Speaking of post game, which I almost never watch, I am not ashamed to say that Dexter has an outstanding smile. That thing would light up a dark room!
  19. Player of the Game obviously PCA with his first hit, first, HR, and GW hit. But mad props (again) to Javier Assad. First and third two batters into the game and he minimizes the damage about as well as you could in that sitch. Only went 4+ but that game could’ve gotten out of hand in the first. How does he come out of the starting rotation???
