Yep. It was funny because I seem to remember that we had heard about the trade rumors well before it happened and Shields went out and had some awful starts right before the trade went down. I can’t remember exactly how many starts Shield had after we all had initially heard the rumor but it was definitely enough time for Hahn to re-think the trade and not go through with it.

@Look at Ray Ray Run never called anyone (or Cali) a “chump for following a loser team”. He stated his own expectations about the team and said “you do you”, which is basically saying that people can have differing opinions and expectations of the team than him. You don’t need to put words in his mouth. We can all read his quote and see that he did not say what you responded with. Also, your entire response disproves the last sentence of your post. You obviously care.

I’ll believe once Jerry no longer owns the team. In the meantime, I will dread having to watch Getz try to deal with the Murakami situation next season.

Has it been confirmed that that’s what it is? It sure looks like it. Maybe Brooke will ask?

That throw was hilarious.

Please stop tickling the balls.

Anyone see/hear about this little fight at the game last night? https://x.com/djyianni/status/2052966172539146723/video/1?s=46 https://x.com/smitgod/status/2053136372118979047?s=46

Wow, lol. Definitely sounds like he is pissed at Thomas and trying to prove a point.

Blasphemy.

He’s a bad reliever. No idea why Getz acquired him. You know Jerry is pissed and wants his cash considerations back for that one.

Eh, it depends on what they give up. The dude just turned 26. He was DFA’d and won’t garner much. Just don’t trade a prospect like Fajardo for him to get back Cam freaking Booser and get absolutely owned in the trade.

Good post. That 0-2 meatball was deplorable. Had to be one of the absolute worst pitches I have seen in my life of watching baseball considering the situation. It was like a batting practice pitch.

Cubs win their 10th game in a row on the road against the Rangers 7-1. They now have the best record in baseball at 27-12. PCA went 2 for 4 with an RBI. His line is improving… .255 .321 .400 .721

Once again, we’ll see where he’s ends up by the end of the season. He’s always teetering around the Mendoza Line.

Yep. There was a report that Getz tried to extend Vargas over the offseason and Vargas turned it down, lol. If you can’t even extend Vargas, good luck with Murakami. 🤣

I’m hoping the outfield improves enough with Pereira and eventually Montgomery that Antonacci can replace Meidroth at 2B as the starter. Meidroth as a bench Eckstein could make a ton of money.

Yep, been having the same unfortunate issue.

I never said that I was expecting a 4-5 WAR 3B but 3+ would be nice. That should be the expectation if they want to win another WS. We’ll see where Vargas is at by the All-Star break and at the end of the season. He is prone to long slumps and spurts of hot streaks. I am not a believer. Besides, he’s going to be replaced once Roch is ready and they move Colson to 3B. My guess is that Vargas will be dealt.

They are both absolutely meh players. You don’t win anything with these guys as starters. They would be great bench players however.

You don’t seem like a Jedi to me. More like a Han Solo, a realist.

I know the outfield blows so Antonacci has to play there for now, but how soon could he supplant Meidroth at 2B? How is Antonacci’s defense at 2B?

Hmmm… where did all the Jedi go tonight? 🤔

I don’t care what position he plays. His ridiculous power is a total game changer. He’s like a stud pass rusher in football.

He was always terrible. Didn’t understand that acquisition at all. Jerry must be pissed he gave up cash for him.
