Do we have to?Discuss
Bob Ross believed in happy thoughts.Do we have to?
Six runs wasn't enough offense on Friday. Twelve runs weren't enough today.
The cumulative total of outs in the 7th inning or later recorded by the Cubs starting staff as of May 2nd: Zero!
Reds end up leading MLB with 151 runs.
Cubs #9 at 129
Cubs and Reds staff has given up 143 runs. Tied for 26th.
So this is a tale of two shitty pitching staffs that 1 O is overwhelming and the other one can at times and other times shuts down.
Both teams are not play off worthy teams.
Pointless topic. The trade was bad. Jed was forced to trade away contract. SD was willing to absorb almost all of itSo even with Yu, this is a fringe playoff club or not even close?
"another Arod"???? who is this?Pointless topic. The trade was bad. Jed was forced to trade away contract. SD was willing to absorb almost all of it
How it affects this year is pointless to discuss. Good/bad/meh. It really don't matter. What mattered was Jed had to throw in the towel before the season started. No one has talked about anything good about the Cubs after that deal.
Now I get how some here like to speculate. That is fine. I like to look at value. The Cubs got 2 SS that they had one better at the time. And right after got another one who might be another ARod.
So Jed really was not looking at team needs. He took the best return that AJ was willing to give up. That is because there was no competition. It was only SD and AJ had all of the leverage in that deal.
"another Arod"???? who is this?
The next arod wasn't from the trade. It was Cristian Hernandez in IFA. But complaining about getting shortstops like they can't play pretty much any other position on the field is pretty stupid. His arguments have no consistency or usually any validity to them eitherhe complains how bad the trade was, then says we might have the next Arod. If we got the next Arod, then how the fuck can it be such a bad trade?!?
