  • Their player development is top-notch now.  The way they unlock velocity in the minors is incredible.

    I fully accept my admitted Cub hatred makes me a biased source...but am I the only one who has felt like he's on crazy pills throughout this oddly celebrated Cubs season?  They went out and signed a b

They move to Vegas yet?

Ricketts fortunate to deal TD Ameritrade at the time he did with Charles Schwab merger going south...

Bellinger off to an astounding 1/15 start with that .067 BA and .176 OPS (only because his one hit was a homer). Dude is TOAST.

I'm fine with the pick clock, but there should be common sense instances when it's turned off. This would classify as one of them

 

 

The lil guy just ran thru a stop sign and was easily thrown out at home.  "Elite" baserunner.  

Madrigal truly has some of the worst baseball IQ I've ever seen

 

The Cubs version of Moncado, as far as baserunning goes

Reminded me of Moncado base running

He's never been nearly as fast as the scouts rated/projected him at coming out of Oregon State. 

I’m talking about Moncada’s’ decision making on the base paths

Dodgers starting Luke Williams at SS instead of the rumored Mookie Betts insertion there...that would have been something to watch.   Obviously has played 2B much more recently at the big league level.

Cubs fixed a lot of the holes in Bellinger’s swing. Must be nice

Can't even lump Bellinger in with Conforto and Gallo as Benintendi alternatives because that never would have happened here

Did they?  Do you think they told him something different than the Dodgers or did he finally listen after being non-tendered?

Could be, whatever it is though, he looks way better

Mookie Betts at SS so Outman and Trayce Thompson can play RF and CF...never thought I'd be typing that about five years ago.

It’s unreal how bad their lineup is now. I don’t get them punting this season at all.

The number of bad players they have now compared to previous seasons is staggering.

but... Outman is probably a dude, and Trayce has a .900 OPS over the last 3 years. those guys aren't 0s.

Of course Mookie plays a smooth shortstop. The guy does everything else well so why not that?

Outman!

Give this current regime 1,000 years and they aren't turning someone with a 150K signing bonus into James Outman
