The thing about Zobrist was he was a key part of their team. Bote is kind of the same guy. $16M for him is an overpay that they had to do.

Why the F is Wellington Castillo batting 4th. This is almost becoming too absurd.

Witt is old for his age as well. Nobody should be 19 and still be in high school. I graduated high school at 17.

Rodon's only hope is to be an Andrew Miller type.

Only thing that will slow down Robert is health. If he is injured as much as Eloy and Adolfo the Sox are in trouble. Eloy needs to DH as he has way to fragile to play every day.

So are the BEars the hottest tv item in the NFL

Jimenez and Abreu did not see a strike and both struck out swinging at 6 pitches out of the zone. Before I get even remotely excited about this team they need to figure out how to not have absolutely embarrassing at bats. FFS

3-0 ball in dirt he swings......my God this teams puts on some horrific at bats. I am by no means a good baseball player but you need a ball up to at a minimum get a sac fly and he swings at balls 4 5 and 6. Pathetic

Im at work is it a brawl or just a mosh pit type of thing?

The flip between AL and NL over the past four years is amazing.

I find it amazing how a guy that is 0 for the season and cannot play defense is sticking around. What is the expectation that they have of Palka. What harm is there of sending him down for a month? If they lose him is it that great of a loss.

Tatis would make it the lead story on Sportscenter for the next ten years.

I am sure at this point that he and Kimbrell have deals in place for after the draft. I think deep down the cubs have had this plan with Kimbrell all along.

Agreed he is a terrible fielder he needs to dominate with the bat. Similar to Yolmer and the errors. They need to excel incredibly in the things they do well because the things they don't do well they are actually useless.

This organization is still of the mindset that OBP and the changes in how the game are played are irrelevant. Even if they turn over the entire coaching staff at the MLB level it will be with MiLB guys from within the organization. There is no emphasis at all on OBP or defensive metrics at the MLB level it truly is amazing how inept this organization is.
