  1. IST: Cubs vs. Marlins

    He also threw out Dee Gordon by a good 2 feet. Pop time is ridiculous. Also helps to have Javy with his lightning swipe tags.

  2. IST: Cubs @ White Sox

    He's been here for 1 appearance...2K's and a ground out...He'd actually only had been here for 15 innings as a Cub with 0 appearances before you wrote the trade off. People didn't see the beauty of Rondon pitching the 8th in a 2 run ballgame? He honestly looked better than he has in weeks last...

  3. Impressive Chapman stat vs STL

    lol.

  4. Cubs send Torres to Yankees for Chapman

    Which she admitted. She said "choke" and later clarified that he didn't impede her from breathing. Sounds like she was uber pissed that he was talking to another female and he was holding her at arms length around the shoulders/neck. Not saying it's right...but god damn, at what point to people...

  5. Cubs send Torres to Yankees for Chapman

    Which is the problem. If our starters leave the game with runners on, we've been having to play matchups with Cahill/Richard/Wood/etc...and a lot of those runs have scored. The issue is not the 8th/9th inning. The issue is the 6th when our starter leaves, and playing the lefty/righty matchup...

  6. Cubs send Torres to Yankees for Chapman

    Rumor has it that it's Torres/Candelario/Warren/one other player going to NYY. 2 thoughts: 1. That's too damn high, and I need to see a real effort to extend him out of the front office. 2. LULZ at the price for Miller if that's Chapman's cost.

  7. Cubs send Torres to Yankees for Chapman

    I really don't get the whole "hard to root for" thing with Chapman. Is Chapman a tool? Probably. And anyone who harms their wife/significant other is a scumbag, for the record. But I'm not going sit here and play the compass of baseball morality with a guy who was never charged, has multiple...

  8. Yankees want Schwarber for Andrew Miller?

    If they are looking for someone who is shutdown for a 1 inning 7th/8th inning type of guy, why not Ryan Madson? Unless they want a 3rd LHRP, then that leaves Miller as the main option.

  9. Trade deadline/rumors

    Have you seen the shitstorm of available SS's at this year's deadline? I think that's why you value the fact that you have arguably 2 of the top 10 SS in baseball on your team together; and both are producing -- along with Torres/Happ in the pipeline that both have incredible ceilings. In no...

  10. Cubs Trade Dan Vogelbach for LHRP Mike Montgomery

    Kurkjian is a smart guy. Theo should be offended. You don't trade 150 HRs over the next 4-5 years for 100 innings of Andrew Miller over the next 1.5 years. I don't care if Miller is the next Goose Gossage.

  11. Maybe We Should Stand Still at the Dead Line

    No one (edit: with a brain) is giving up a #1 prospect for a middle reliever, even with control. The Yankees can get bent.

  12. IST: Cubs @ Pirates

    Over/Under 3.5 stolen bases tonight on Miguel Montero?

  13. Maybe We Should Stand Still at the Dead Line

    I'll answer that for you. The answer is yes. But people tend to forget that the guys that bridge from your starter to your setup/closer, while not needed every day, are a huge part of the success of the team. We currently don't have anyone that can come into the game in the 6th or 7th and do...

  14. Maybe We Should Stand Still at the Dead Line

    I guess we will find out.

  15. Article on Heyward swing problems

    Assuming you meant Heyward instead of Fowler in that one sentence. Anywho, if you read that article (which it appears you did), you know that he stands off the plate because the scouting report on him is to bust him inside due to the dip and dive/loop in his swing. If they work on the mechanics...

  16. Maybe We Should Stand Still at the Dead Line

    Nope, he's not. The Giants may have similar needs. The Rangers may have similar needs. But just because they aren't getting Schwarber doesn't mean we can't put together a package that beats Beede/Arroyo by floating a combination of our "2nd tier guys that would be first tier in 95% of other...

  17. Maybe We Should Stand Still at the Dead Line

    If we aren't trading away from our current core (Rizzo, Bryant, Russell, Willson, Baez, Soler, Schwarber, Almora, Heyward, Lester, Arrieta, Lackey, Strop, Rondon) - what gives you pause about losing a 5-10 year window? Again...these guys are prospects for a reason. Cub fans have become rather...

  18. Maybe We Should Stand Still at the Dead Line

    Off-Topic. The Braves used a lefty who sat at 94-96 with a great slider in the 10th inning last night. The Braves used a righty who's low pitch velocity was in the 11th 101mph. Those are their end of the bullpen dudes? Why do other teams grow these arms on trees but we can't? (It's...

  19. Maybe We Should Stand Still at the Dead Line

    Romo/Miller/Casilla is kind of terrifying to be honest.

  20. Article on Heyward swing problems

    For the doom and gloomers, look at the transformation of Kris Bryant's swing in just one 6-month offseason. His bat wasn't in the zone long enough on his swings last year. They flattened it out, and now you see an MVP candidate. Not exactly the same mechanics that Jason Heyward has. But it's...
