I agree. Especially since it seems that the Cubs want to reset payroll going into the new CBA.

I think I got the right guy, but I’m not super confident.

Another question: does Long get a shot at being the big league bench bat next season?

Just sat here thinking about this for like 5 minutes. Fun question. I’d go with ONKC. K rate is high, but still taking his walks and hitting the ball very hard. It’s close though. The XBH is the difference maker imo.

Agreed. It’s a shame Michael refuses to post here or acknowledge this site’s existence.

This is fucking dope. Umpired for 10 years here. Saw way too many women treated the wrong way by β€œtrainers” in yearly clinics. Whole ass system was designed against women, and Jen overcame it. Love to see this.

I like a lot that he’s done. But the lack of willingness to ever be extra aggressive just doesn’t make sense to me, especially after being extra aggressive in acquiring Tucker. Idk what teams were asking for starters, but they should have outbid the Rangers for Kelly at the very least.

She’s right around #10. So to be mad either way is goofy imo. It’s a matter of opinion at this point, and fair to say she’s between 8-12 in any reasonable ranking.

Definitely a walking ratings machine though.

And he’s shocked! Truly unbelievable. I really feel bad for y’all as fans. Should have never gotten to this point with all of the offensive pieces/farm depth. There’s just no excuse for it.

β€œA lot needed to go wrong, and it has” as if he wasn’t the one who completely ignored the rotation need.

01.08.2025 18:48 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

And then rotate it back when on defense!

Exactly. Every response is just carrying water for the owners with bad faith arguments. It’s really something.

β€œParity” is a weird term to use when the NFL has repeat Super Bowl appearances/winners frequently. Baseball hasn’t had one since 2000. That is real parity.

You’re describing a CBA, not a cap.

01.08.2025 13:43 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

These are completely separate issues. Nothing you stated has anything to do with a cap. Your argument is disingenuous at best.

Also. lol at you for replying to the obvious bot.

I love that he linked the same exact article I replied to as if my reply would be β€œoh! The article! Good call!”

Well this just isn’t true. Best union in sports by a wide margin.

Honest feedback here. Theres so much good content out there online. Just run ads. $19.99/month is an insane rate to ask people to pay, where there are tons of other resources out there.

None of these are correct?

Cubs win % is .583

Philly is .565. Not tied.

SD: .550. Cubs are up 3.5 games.

Mets: .569. 2 more losses than Cubs and 1 less win.

They sure did. And so did the Cubs. They didn’t get a SP. it was a need. I understand that. But that doesn’t mean they’re bad all of a sudden.

You reference the Padres Mets and Phillies. All worse records over your chosen timeline.

We will see what happens! Go Cubs.

The Cubs will 100% make the playoffs.

I understand your frustration, but it’s asinine to say they won’t make the playoffs. They have the 2nd best record in MLB. You’re cherry picking stats to create an unrealistic doomer narrative.

31.07.2025 23:35 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

This is just a plain goofy take. They should have done more. But the current roster is still very good.
