I think my pinkie needs a bunch of x-rays by a doctor in Hawaii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he goes on a tear the rest of the way, but he’s at best a platoon guy right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 This game further proves zero Central teams from either league deserves a playoff spot, in addition to garbage wild cards. This four team Best of Seven League Championship Series far better than what they will slap out there in October. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one of the possible outcomes. Bellinger has that MVP upside and they were able to tap into it. He's about to get 6/180. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PitchatRisktoZisk Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Watching a legit manager against an imposter like Grifol is a stark comparison. It's sad to see us fail at virtually every aspect of baseball. The sadder thought is this clown show of JR, Williams, and Hahn aren't going anywhere. They are why we can never have nice things. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize the age on him, but those 32-34 age years are likely to be what he was the past few years. Players typically spike their final season before free agency. It happens regularly, and I expect Tim and Yoan to turn it on next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cubs are hardly the examplars of maximizing talent. They missed by a country mile on Mancini. Suzuki has been disappointing as well for long stretches. What will fans do if they miss the postseason and have nothing to show for Stroman and Bellinger? Edited August 13, 2023 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
