Soler should have let that go into the ivy. Great Duda

 

Heck they should kick every ball in the OF into the ivy

Arrieta will regress, Lester in overrated and Price not a real good postseason pitcher.............Cubs guys could have Sophomore slumps and win 80 games. Cubs being good on paper means nothing.

And it's not like the Cubs are the only talented young team out there. The Astros might be better next year. The Cubs being perennial contenders is absolutely not a given...

I could see a Q for Schwarber deal in the works. It would help both teams.

This is so fun too watch.

People on Twitter are talking about Cubs signing Greinke,Zimmerman or Price.

 

Hey if they want to give Greinke 8 years more power to them.

Those three wouldn't have helped them this series if the Cubs can't hit the Mets pitching.

I'd consider it if we were able to add another piece. Cheap, power hitting LH bat with plate discipline is what we need. His splits against LH's are worrisome, but overall he's an immediate DH upgrade over Laroche.

 

The problem is, we need more than a one for one deals to improve this team. ANY deal for our pitchers should bring atleast two ML players back in return, or several good prospects close to the majors

this is great. I hope this becomes even more of a blowout. I wanna see wrigley empty in the 7th inning

Hey guys I actually put the money up.

 

Your welcome.

 

My wife is a Cubs fan so I didn't say it aloud, but my only thought was "If he doesn't get Cespedes out here, Duda will make it 3-0"

Pass

Can you elaborate as to why you'd pass on that deal?

Because Schwarber is basically a 1-tool player? He has no defensive value, strikes out a lot, and can't hit LHP for s***, something we already really suck at. He has had a good playoffs but was bad the last 6 weeks of the season. Quintana is really good, I'm not trading him for a one dimensional DH.

Big bottom of 4th for Matz coming up

Was putting the kid to bed what happened to Cespedes?

Get the pen up.

And so are LaRoche, Cabrera, Abreu and Avi Garcia.

 

The problem is we have no lefty power threat (see Melky Cabrera, who's now more of a 2 hitter) and haven't since 2009 in Thome (unless you count Dunn from 2012-2014).

 

Compare that to the Royals, with Hosmer, Moustakas, Morales and Zobrist (switch-hitters), Gordon (although he might be gone).

 

On the other hand, multi-dimensional players like Alex Gordon, Cespedes and Heyward will cost you a mint. Justin Upton and Chris Davis also will, although they're flawed players, too.

 

Even second and third tier guys like Parra or Dexter Fowler aren't cheap.

 

Does anyone believe spending X amount of money on Parra or Fowler will get us close to .500? Let's say Cabrera moves to DH, LaRoche is dumped and Parra, Eaton and Fowler was your new OF.

 

Still not seeing that team anywhere close to .500 with 3b, SS, 2B and catching issues. Maybe with nearly 100% health again.

yes RT @ColtsMetsFan125: @michaelgbaron Not trying to jump the gun, but if we win the ws would you mind if they let cespedes walk?

 

 

 

Adam Rubin@AdamRubinESPN

 

Thanks to everyone sending me the link to Chicago Sun-Times story about Yoenis Cespedes golfing this morning. That's really got you upset?

This isn't good

Was putting the kid to bed what happened to Cespedes?

Shoulder issue

Pull him.

Awful 0-2 pitch

Bring Colon in now.

Cespedes would fit in perfectly with the "golfing/country club" culture of the White Sox.

 

At least Harrelson would be happy.

One down. Come on double play.
