ptatc Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 59 minutes ago, Tony said: They are a very top heavy team right now, lacking any real depth. When Bryant is hurt and someone like Baez struggles.......they run into issues. Yu has really saved them this season turning into a Cy Young candidate. Hendricks has been great for a while now and Lester can still give them some good starts....but after that it gets pretty rough. They've got some really interesting decisions to make in the next few years. Especially with Ricketts saying they are at the limit of payroll and the financial issue going forward. They are going to need to shed payroll to make any improvements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan49 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I'm watching STL/PIT on MLBN and wow these two teams stink. I have no idea how the Sox didn't blast the Cards 3 times. Some scrub on the Bucs just hit a grounder to Wong at 2B with an ev of probably 30 mph and Wong booted it. It was an error that you see a little leaguer make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I don't know what's happened to big league catchers but this shit is getting ridiculous. Cone-treras calls for a breaking ball, sets up wide WITH A GUY ON THIRD BASE and lets the ball sneak between his legs (go figure??) and the game winning run scores. How can you set up like that when you know he's going to throw a BB in the dirt?? Is it that important to try to steal a strike in that situation?? I do not understand how teams are teaching their catchers to receive like this. It makes no sense and it's costing teams games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 In a partnership with DraftKings, the Cubs are opening up a sportsbook at Wrigley Field. I am sure the Sox will follow at some point. Go to a game, place your bets. Get drunk. Come home either really happy or really pissed off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinky Stanky Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Getting that summer of 1969 feeling, with Harry in St. Louis calling out "The Cardinals are coming, Cubbies." Turned out it wasn't the Cardinals, but he had the right idea. It is the Cardinals this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWINFan Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 The Cubs are now seeing the downside of the long Lester contract. They are now paying big money for a pitcher in his twilight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron883 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) I didn't realize how absolutely atrocious Kris Bryant and Javy Baez have been. Just horrible. All their big named players are having bad seasons there. Meanwhile, Heyward and Happ are killing it. Strange times.

Yeah I think he would be up for a one year return to the Sox maybe $6-7M. I think we will be waiting a while before teams start bidding on the big ticket FAs.
