Hall of Famer

For me this season is just about getting him innings. I’d have no issue with letting him dominate in South Bend until his last 1-2 starts and giving...

No reason to “move on,” but I think adjusted expectations are beyond fair at this point. I’m excited he has gotten the k rate under control this year...

If we are defining “wildly inconsistent” as a player who has a bad week then basically every player to ever play the game was “wildly inconsistent.”...

That’s exactly what they did. It’s the plot to major league, but they made it work.

A 3 year deal would be nice for the Cubs but I don’t think that makes sense for Stroman. He’ll be 33 next year. He might be coming off a career year....

I think he’s close too. I’m not sure they want to move him to the bullpen this early in the season, but he might be the next guy up to get some...

He’s a bad infielder too. The only spot he can maybe play decently is 2b.

Lol.

Day game after a night game is going to have the other catcher in one of them. Maybe he thought Gomes was a better match for Kyle’s debut since they...

It’s really just about Suzuki getting a day off though right? Barnhart has to catch some games and he gets Steele games a lot recently. They’d...

I like it. I think this was always going to be his outcome but he can be a very good reliever.

Oh gotcha. Yeah, I’d assume that the ST one counts too since that is an option to the minors for opening day.

That’s obviously a reasonable opinion. I think the problem is much more the players, the people who assembled the team, and the people in charge of...

It’s looks Velasquez was added to the 40 in November 2021, so he would have used an option year in 2022 and one in 2023. So I believe he’s...

He’s not benching “hot bats” because of respect to the vet. They bench “hot bats” because that’s not really a thing and matchups determine which...

Yeah? I’d do that on the cubs side for sure. It would be nice to lock in a 23 yo potentially special bat at a position of need. He also happens to...

If it wasn’t the cubs and cardinals how close to being fair is Steele for Gorman? I think the cubs would need to add a little, but not much. That’s...

Seemed like thawv was kind of serious, which is why I asked. Mervis has played basically everyday. Morel too, but injuries helped him get a...

People don’t actually believe this, right? I get the frustration with how this season is going but do we really think Ross is pissed about Morel...

I believe every year a player is on the 40 man and is sent to the minors counts as an option year. It doesn’t matter if the player plays at the mlb...

I admit I don’t read or listen to what all the other managers say, but are there many other managers who favor veterans to a fault? Of course there...

I agree. I think there’s also a tendency to put blame on coaches for failures and give credit to players for successes. It’s all part of the job, so...

I think most fans would say this about any person managing their sub .500 favorite team. Even with winning teams it’s probably close to a 50/50...

With this team, swinging away will likely lead to 0 runs too. I’m the furthest thing from a supporter of bunting. In that situation with Wisdom I...

If your DH can’t hit does it matter that he’s a DH? Not sure I saw all of those situations, but wasn’t Hosmer involved in some of them? I think it...

It’s pretty tough to make a lineup with some of the names on the roster. Especially when Nico and Bellinger are out and Gomes needs some off days....

I’d guess no because I don’t think they are going to get the players they need to be a very good team next year and eventually people need to take...

If they want to win they need better players.

He must have hit a wall. He was in the 130s when I checked his numbers a couple weeks ago. I preferred Lee, but I’m excited for Horton.
