Stupid Piece of Garbage

I think there's a zero % chance they trade Gomes. He works well with pitchers. They aren't going to put a wrench in their pitching development...

Well I just don't agree. I think the vast majority of their efforts right now are focused on righting the ship and salvaging the season. I think...

They aren't going to pull the plug on the season just because the team had a horrible May. There's 4 months of baseball left, and every team in the...

Mervis should always be in the lineup against RHP. Today is a LHP and he just sucks against lefties, at least for now but probably forever, so can't...

It's the Rizzo curse lol

He's not hitting any type of pitches besides change ups. If the Cubs were out of the race I'd agree with you, but they need to put the best players...

They should try to win until they decide to pull the plug. They won't pull the plug in June in a weak division.

Zach McKinstry killing it for the Tigers so far, even while playing almost every position on the field. Would have been nice to have him at 3B with...

Cubs have 7 saves in 13 opportunities. So i guess 7 saves and 6 blown saves? On pace for 21 saves lol.

Yeah they seem call any elbow discomfort "forearm tightness" these days. Ross said Steele also felt throbbing in the elbow when he was cooling...

Maybe a relief role for Wesneski. Rucker has been terrible in May. In 1.1 IP at Iowa, Thompson has given up 7 hits, 4 BB, 8 ER.

Seems like the A's are trying to field a team so bad and unlikable it will be easier for the owners to leave the city

Tough call for me. They could trade him and still resign him. Might cost them a bit more though in FA. I see what you're saying but they've also...

If we had a choice between extending or trading Stroman at the deadline, what should we do?

Does it make us feel any better that we'd still be in the cellar if we had signed Correa, Abreu, and Christian Vazquez instead?

Rays righty pitcher today has very strong reverse splits so far and Ross sticks Mastrobuoni, Rios, Mervis, Tauchman, Barnhart in the lineup and sits...

For what it's worth, Swanson leads all the 4 FA SS from last offseason in wRC+ and fWAR, and is on pace for another 6 WAR season.

Will be interesting to see what they do with him since they're desperate for arms in the pen. It probably depends a bit on how guys like Wesneski...

The pitching has underachieved for sure, it was supposed to be a strength. Hard to put all the blame on management when Fulmer and Taillon and...

In fairness to Ross on all his moves, half his team sucks.

Sucks how so many pitchers have just fallen apart. Taillon, Thompson, Fulmer, Boxberger, Wesneski... Leiter Jr, Merryweather, and Alzolay have...

Taillon's pitches are subpar except for his breaking balls but he likes to throw all these FB and cutters but they suck. If they wanted to try to...

Hosmer officially released.

Apparently he may be fine at SS also, i think Hoyer said last year they liked what they saw from him there.

Even more serious issues with pitching. It's been seemingly trending worse which isn't good. At least half the pitching staff just straight up...

Del

Big shout out and congrats to Ross for using his most effective reliever in a 9th inning save situation last night.

Agree. Hoyer also reiterated that the Cubs pen and hitting have done poorly in high leverage situations this year, such explains the...

Mervis sucks worse than Hosmer so far.

Cubs have the 2nd worst record in mlb over the last month, 8-18, only the A's are worse.
