Honestly, I wouldn't. I'd rather roll the dice on 6-7 years of Adolfo/Rutherford etc. becoming Major Leaguers than have that one month of Harper, even if we were a playoff team. If we're talking about an Alex Call/Joel Booker type, then I'd probably do it.

I wouldn't say "really likes", but he does think Gonzalez can be an average regular.

Rain chance went from 50% to 35%

I do think that Harper ends up with the Yankees, Phillies, Dodgers, or Cubs. But honestly, Trout doesn't strike me as a guy who would just take the money and play in Boston/NY.

Technically, saying "if we keep playing like this" in the middle of an 8 or 9 game win streak (if memory serves) *should* have led to a playoff berth!

Oh, I see. Between Chapman, Russell, and this, I'd imagine they should be used to this sort of thing by now. Clearly, off-field conduct and comments are not of any importance to the organization.

why?

That's the logical move but given that he's "the best shortstop in Chicago and it isn't even close, and also a top 5 shortstop in baseball and if you think otherwise you're an idiot" according to the typical Cubs fan, I would still be surprised. I feel like they could've already replaced him with Baez at SS, Bote at 3B, Happ at 2B, etc.

Why do they want another 2B? Are they converting him to 3B and preparing for Bryant to miss the season?

6 IP 2 ER (3 R) 6 H 2 BB 8 K. Something like that

For what it's worth, 4 hours ago, it was 6 pm- 30% 7 pm- 30% 8 pm- 40% 9 pm- 10% 10 pm- 10% But now I'm seeing the same numbers that you are. Not a good sign

34

Forecast has been worsening. Earlier this morning, it was at 30-35% for 7-9 PM, now it's at 40-50%

Personally I think Basabe is the perfect 4th outfielder. Can fill into any spot and with good defense, can hit at any point in the lineup, good on base skills, a little pop, switch hitter, pretty speedy, etc.

Also, will be fun to see Berrios pitch live. I believe he has a complete game against us this year, as well as a 7 shutout inning start, as well as a 6 inning/4 run start.

I'll be there. Guessing one of the following: A) 2 IP, 6 ER, 6 H, 2 SO, 4 BB B) 6 IP, 3 R, 2 ER, 6 H, 9 SO, 3 BB

Same. Not sure where Dave got that from but he implied that it was info he was given from someone in the ticket office
