Don’t bitch about Jed. When you’re the one jerking off to Happ and Suzuki posters before bed time.
Jed assembling this line up.
Dansby Swanson might as well head to Paris for the next two weeks to watch his wife play soccer in the Olympics. He’s more worried about his wife winning a gold medal to improve their social status in Chicago than playing baseball.
Answered your own question in sentence one.
Milner isn’t much of a downgrade from him. Plus, Devin Williams is due back next week. Doubtful they’ll be any move for a reliever.
I watched a little of the I-Cubs game tonight while waiting on the City High / Dowling game to start, and Moises Ballesteros has such a simple philosophy. See ball, hit ball.
I think that was Billy Williams' approach as well. Worked out great for him.
Amaya has started to hit this month. He has a 7 game hitting steak in limited number of ABs and has his average up to .223 for the moment, which is a good 30 points higher than when he entered July. He has altered his swing and eliminated a leg kick which was giving him poor results.

I think he has 2-3 years left on it plus a no-trade clause that he would have to agree to waive.
MLB will be disappointed if he is traded, unless it's to the Dodgers, as I am sure they are going to be promoting the Cubs/Dodgers opening season series in Japan next year that will feature a lot of Japanese players on both teams.
The Cubs played Tie baseball tonight for 8 innings.
We're close.
We're close!
We're close.
We're close!
I seriously wonder how many times in the history of MLB that a team has had 7 pitchers on the 60-day IL.
The Dodgers currently have 7 pitchers on the 60-day IL (Brasier, Brogdon, Gonsolin, Graterol, May, Sheehan, Yamamoto) and had 8 on the list until Kershaw came back. They also have two on the 15-day (Grove and Buehler). They also had Bobby Miller on the IL for the majority of the season.
He should have caught the ball and I think defense is in his head right now, but also I thought Sut was wrong on the call. Really looked to me like just a big “first step back” situation plus a little delay in picking up the ball, not 3 steps in the wrong direction as Sut was saying.
Was once a highly regarded prospect...but not so good lately, talk of him wanting to start again.
He’s been in this country for three years now. Learn the language of the country you’re in or get the hell out. Slanty eyes thought he was going to come to the United States and be a big celebrity.
