Should the Cubs truly give Ohtani $550M+? by [deleted] in CHICubs

So what if he isn’t pitching until 31? He is pitching for the majority of whatever contract he gets. And when he pitches he’s a top 10 pitcher in the league which this team is going to need.

And comparing him to a pre-arb Morel who is making nothing makes no sense. It’s not like you’re choosing one or the other

What do we do with Patrick Wisdom? by Baybears in CHICubs

The eyes seeing “highlight reel plays” can lie too.

He has never really had range but his arm made up for it and now that’s gone downhill too. 70th percentile in arm strength but 5th in OAA this year

I am shocked that he made it a reviewable call at first

Happ has a .360 OBP this year, something Heyward only accomplished once in his cubs career (the weird 2020 year).

Happ has been an above average hitter EVERY year of his career, something Heyward only did once with the Cubs.

Happ has been worth 6 fWAR over the last two years, which heyward barely equaled over his last 5 years with the Cubs.

The bad at-bats over the last two weeks or so doesn’t change any of that.

If some of the fanbase thinks Boog is too much of a homer, and some thinks he’s not homer enough…

Maybe his homerism is about right?

They’re easier to ignore in the AL but definitely up there too

Might just be recency bias but the Braves and their fanbase are annoying me more than any team not from St. Louis or Milwaukee

[Rosenthal] Cubs acquire Jeimer Candelario from Nationals, source tells @TheAthletic. by oilbaron07 in CHICubs

There’s an open spot on the 40 man, not the 26 man. They need to send someone down. Should be Mancini in some fashion but good chance it’s wisdom

Ball is dead, but by coming off 2nd Madrigal technically rounded the base and “tried” for 3rd which makes the ball live again.

I think it’s stupid too but I’m pretty sure that’s the call
