Where he becomes the first "opener" to start an ASG! Wouldn't that be something.

In 2024 when Eloy is a 5 WAR player hitting 290/360/550 annually and Quintana is barely hanging around the league as a back end starter it will be obvious who got the better of the deal. Cease will have his say as well.

lord he'd dominate in the NL.

Cubs fans bending over backwards to defend that trade is hilarious. They got absolutely fleeced. Hahn traded Quintana when you could still squint and see a good #2. But that's not the pitcher he's been in Wrigley. He's been more like a innings eater than a TOR starter. The last time his K rate was so low he was walking an entire batter less per game. His stuff just isn't what it was on the South Side.

we need one WAR to rule them all! That said, all I really care about is his wrc+ and not looking like a buffoon in LF on a nightly basis while threatening to hurt himself. His wRC+ is up to 114 and his ZIPS projection actually thinks he's better than that rest of the way. If he finishes with something like 270/330/500 that will be a successful rookie year.

nice anecdote thanks for sharing. For someone myself or younger (34) it's hard to remember that for much of our child hood and prior the cubs were a joke franchise not some lovable loser brand.

Eloy up to .3 fWAR. Defense has been run neutral for about a month after his horrid start.

some of these calls into 670 late night have to be absolute genius level plants by chicago accented actors.

sportsball!

How much is this fish wrap anyways guys in Chicago? I'd give 6 quarters for it. But wouldn't wait in line would only buy if the guy let me cut line and just drop them on the counter. is that a thing in Chicago at all?

this AM 670 call in post gamer for the cubs is GIVING ME LIFE MAN! lol i'm in seattle listening while folding laundry dreaming on the sox, reminds me of pulling the old am 1000 up in michigan during the summer shooting hoops in the drive way as a teen.

obviously hurt, tried to bunt, struck out. just getting more and more bizarre why he's not on the fucking DL. Just rest him. FFS it's a long season and a long rebuild. If he's so hurt he can't swing it's absurd he's not on the IL let alone in the game.

rickie is a clown.

I'd rather a shitty pitcher that throws strikes and hopes for the best then one like Manny that just walks the yard before he decides to throw some meatballs.

Cordell and Rondon should be replaced by Jay and Mendick next week.

Please don't insult Yolmer like that. There are few if any big leaguers that have hit as poorly as Engel and were given that many PA. Compared to Engel, Yolmer is Mike Trout.

I'd be pretty pissed going 4 pitches against Nova.

We have one guy on the team that will take a walk when the pitcher is begging him for it and that's Yoan. It's ridiculous. Given how long the problem has plagued the team I'm going to say it's more than just bad players it's a fundamental problem in coaching and talent procurement.

yea for the guy that has to push the strikeout button on the scoreboard. somebody alert OSHA.

I've come around to it. With the strike zone overlay you can see how many horrible calls they make on a nightly basis.

you need to relax man.

I said numerous times on paper the rotation is historically bad. That was when it had Rodon in it.

Andy MacPhail, now that's a name from the past.

I don't blame him it was pretty shitty how he got run out of the North Side for telling the truth about their club.

I agree with everything you posted except after watching Jose lumber around 1B for the last half a decade I think we can conclude he's one of the worst defensive 1B in all MLB and costs the sox about 10 runs every year that a really good 1B would prevent. That's about 1 WAR and it's why Jose's bat needs to be better than just "good" for him to be anything more than a decent regular. The Sox might be in a position where it's smart to pay him like a decent regular. But the market rate for decent DHs isn't much.
