*****Official Cubs 2024 Thread 🚽*****

Justin Steele is a ball player. He’s not worried about his social status in the city of Chicago.
 
Happy Aramis Day ... for those who celebrate. Good times! 17 years ago!

Some good names that I caught ... Felix Pie, Bobby Howry, Mark DeRosa, Alfonso Soriano, Derek Lee, Starlin Castro, Mike Fontenot!

I was sitting in the driveway of my kid’s daycare listening to that home run call. I went nuts.

Busch has been one of the Cubs most consistent hitters all season but I was shocked to learn today that he has a 39% K rate. 93 Ks in 237 ABs. I never would have guessed that.
 
Isn’t the minors system supposed to be top 5? Certainly doesn’t appear to have produced much.
 
Well, when you decide to not show up to play a game, chances are your bullpen won’t be put in a position to blow a save. Maybe this is a new strategy??

After Mondays off day it looks like the Phillies are starting rookie Michael Mercado against the cubs in Wrigley.

Nice easy landing for the kid.

If this season ends up with the Cubs being sellers, I don't trust Hoyer to get very good returns on the trades.

The problem with being a seller is does that mean you are giving up on next year? This should have been a playoff team/year. The valuable pieces are stuff you'd have to replace for next year.

Can any of those dipshits hit? :mad:
Jefferson Rojas is 19 and playing in high A. Bret Bateman bears watching. He was a 4 year college player at Minnesota with some good bat to ball skills, and plays good defense. Rojas at this time has a very high ceiling. Bateman could be a 4th outfielder type.

They should be able to do some mix of sell/buy that doesn’t hurt next year. Could actually open up some flexibility heading into the offseason…..but then what will Jed do with that in the offseason?

Probably dish out 2 year contracts to old catchers with diminishing skill sets.
