I am glad someone here got it.

We are looking for both kinds of players 1B AND DH

He's ready.

To follow up on this, if you expand fangraphs out to 180 PAs to include Jake Burger's season here are their defensive ratings out of 76 peers Yoan Moncada 17th 3.9 Dwar, 3.6 UZR/150, 1 OAA, 0 RAA Jake Burger 57th -4.2 Dwar, -13.4 UZR/150, -6 OAA, -4 RAA

I am way more to apathy now. I was angry early on because pretty much everything was obvious and predictable. Now that it is happening, I feel helpless and disconnected. I watch less and go less.

Look if we aren't going to score runs, we can't give away cheap ones. Even if Moncada keeps hitting like he was prior to his injury, he is still giving top notch defense at 3rd.

Burger hasn't proven this either, for the record.

It has gotten noticably worse now.

I was going to say 1984.

Last night was a perfect example of the last two seasons. -Terrible defensive line up costs the starter 2 runs. player playing out of position can't make a fairly routine play. -Base running mistake kills a rally early. -bullpen coughs up the lead after a rally. -Tons of easy/quick outs allow opponents starter to work deep into game -no long balls -multiple defensive outs given away with dropped balls not showing up as errors, but extended innings and allowing extra runs.

Starting in the dugout and permeating throught the players, this is just the dumbest team in baseball right now.

That's not a homer tho.

Lol, Sheets.

I mean no manager on planet earth is yanking Lucas at this point. None.

Oh good lord.

Having read your posts, me thinks the lady doth protest too much.

Sounds like something a Cub fan would say.

If nothing happens in the next month, this is a franchise that should listen on anyone that is a short term deal. If someone blows you away, you work on reforming the shape of this team into something more balanced going forward. Unfortunately, the guys who fit that description are mostly hurt and/or awful, so I doubt we see returns that are worth much to the future of this franchise. Typically a guy like Giolito should bring a huge return, but he has been terrible since COVID. Maybe we could get something for the relievers, but even they have been injured and brutal in the top cases.

One of the pundits let loose that Montgomery will be in his top 100 mid season ranks. EDIT: It was Jim Callis

This could be a game changer if College baseball is going to pay DOUBLE what MLB does. Yet, they don't have money pay college players.

Ron has rich history as Soxtalk's token Cubs fan.
