  1. Ober, team ace. Berríos who?
  2. So ... does tonight's game make Ober our new team ace?
  3. Just got home from work ... did I miss anything?
  4. I think Turtle is gone either way. I don't think that decision will depend on Arraez and Gordon at all.
  5. I keep saying that I think Arraez gets traded in the off season. But the time to have maximized a return was after his 1st year ... and that's when I was saying to trade him
  6. Who's giving Ryan that much credit this soon? I've seen nothing overwhelming from people saying he's the next coming of Johan. Most are pretty tempered about where they think he will end up as a starting pitching contributor. And, he's just getting his feet wet and will have much to prove next season and beyond. But, for right now, he's doing well as a rookie, even starting against bad teams. So what? I don't think the hopefulness is anyone anointing him as anything. We're just happy for the wins and happy for the potential we see. I don't think he will be Johan, not even close. But I think he could be a strong contributor in years to come and that's what I want to see.
  7. Not even close. Hawk Harrelson wins that trophy by a mile, of the ones I've heard. Dick is actually above average, from the ones I've heard. I'm out of area so I listen to a lot of the other teams' broadcasters. But, I get being 'weary' of the ones you have to listen to all. the. time., but he is not the worst or most obnoxious. Listening to the Cubs announcers is no picnic either. Ugh.
  8. heh ... wasn't trying to be diplomatic ... but I probably should have put interesting in quotations ... that was more 'interesting' than it needed to be
  9. Well ... that was more interesting that it needed to be
  10. Maeda 'designs' t-shirts and then sells them for charity ... I think? Hard to get by the Japanese on his IG account. But I suppose these days his off season activity will include a healthy dose of rehab work
  11. Just less than a week ago we were saying it was a classy move for the FO to add him to the 40-man and call him up, a career minor leaguer ... and now it's classless and clueless because they didn't get him into a game. Okay, hmm. While I wanted him to get into a game and am disappointed he did not and wish otherwise, I wouldn't call it classless
  12. Since you heard a first name, I'm assuming you mean Alex Colomé. It gets confusing when you have another reliever whose name is Danny Coulombe. I keep seeing these names and go 'Wait, what? Who? Which? Oh.'
  13. Jax and Barnes part of the starting staff next season? Doubtful. I'm not sure who's suggesting that. I think they either serve as AAA/AAAA depth or transition to the pen.
  14. I think I mentioned that, did I not? But it is not a great place to watch a game. Many of the seats are obstructed, it’s old and dank. It’s an experience, to be sure, and one I encourage. I just don’t want to watch a game there very often
  15. Oh, for sure go ... it's an iconic place to be ... the history of it ... but it's not a place I want to sit and watch a game very often
  16. Those weeds on the walls sometimes have rats in them. No kidding.
  17. It's a sucky ballpark to sit through a game this long
  18. Twins pitchers have been really flattening the Cubs' pitchers
  19. Goodness ... 3 hours in ... top of the 7th is next ... zzzzzZZZZZZZzzzzzz
  20. As stringer pointed out, Maggi is still on the 40-man and the season isn’t over yet. He could still get a chance to play
  21. You don't know that. And no one does to the contrary, either. So stop inserting opinions as facts.
  22. Yeah ... I found that tidbit interesting in the linked article
  23. They don't usually fall on it ... they are usually pushed
