Stupid Piece of Garbage

Not worried about a short spell for Suzuki. Wish he would barrel and the lift the ball more though. If this team had Bellinger back and...

What's the typical velocity for him recently? Like where he usually sits? He was pumping 98mph in his last college start, but some of that could be...

In that case I don't think they would sell. If they think they have a legit shot at squeaking into the playoffs I don't think they sell. If...

Jason Heyward has a higher WAR than Seiya this season in far fewer PAs... somehow. On the bright side, Swanson is the best defensive SS in...

Yeah Howard does look a lot bigger i agree. Hopefully a good thing since he didn't show any pop before the injury. Hopefully the defense isn't...

Cubs could have signed DeGrom, Verlander, Rodon, Correa, Turner, Abreu, Vazquez, Contreras, Diaz, Justin Turner, Bell and still sucked lol. That's...

Over his career LHP are hitting .389 SLG and .694 OPS off with a 3.50 K/BB rate, that's not "crushing" LHB. RHB are hitting .525 SLG and .892 OPS...

Lefties don't crush Weathers, only RHB, and LHB and are hitting .148 with no HR off him this year. OPS off him is 200 points higher for lefties...

Ideally Mervis plays every day in the MLB and gets the experience he needs to adjust, that would be best for his development. The Cubs also want to...

I think when Bellinger comes back, and if Amaya hits and stays on the roster and plays some DH along with C, they're gonna play whoever gives them...

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.
