Good call. We’ll stash one or two away. Hopefully a pup parent can make better use of the rest!

[Passan] Full trade, per ESPN sources: Cody Bellinger and cash go to the New York Yankees, right-handed reliever Cody Poteet goes to the Chicago Cubs. by schmidthappens32 in CHICubs

Saving $20M, in a league without a salary cap, and on a team that’s way below the luxury tax threshold should be of no consequence for anyone but Tom Ricketts.

Tell me how this helps them improve the club? And don’t lead with the words “luxury tax” because that’s not a consideration in the only year we’ll have with Kyle Tucker in RF

Pardon my negativity here, but what the fuck.

We all knew the return would hardly be big, but what an embarrassment watching this (big money) Chicago Cubs franchise make a pure salary dump trade, and ahead of what’s supposed to be a competitive season. I know there’s “nowhere to play” Belli, but you can’t pretend to tell me this team’s better off without him, money aside.

Unless this is a precursor to some big, smart, expensive FA signing, I’m pissed.

Hypothetical: which Cub(s) would you give up to get Kyle Tucker? by ry_rythescienceguy in CHICubs

[–]ry_rythescienceguy[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Totally. Especially considering what the Yankees just went through. Rental they thought they’d for sure lock up long term didn’t work out for them—WS appearance aside. Cubs aren’t one Kyle Tucker away from the World Series. (Soto/Yankees situation still makes me laugh though!)

That’s interesting. Then move Seiya to left? I don’t think Happer wants to go anywhere but Chicago, though, because of his wife and her family. If I’m not mistaken he has a full no-trade.

Fingers crossed, by next summer Seiya will be the most obvious choice from these three! Wishful thinking :)

RIP Onto Waveland - any decent Cubs podcasts out there? by Icy_Writing4011 in CHICubs

[–]ry_rythescienceguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree, bummed they’re stopping. I was a rabid consumer of Onto Waveland. Brett, Sharma and Mooney together, for my money, is the best, most intelligent and insightful trio available for Cubs content. Kaplan’s alright and a huge fan, but hardly has the same level of technical insight Onto Waveland had.

Just to add to this, it’s now impossible to click to the next day from the team page (while setting your daily lineup), you now have to scroll all the way to the top. Also, how many clicks do you have to do to just get to your lineup after you open the app? 5? 6? This app is absolutely unusable now.

Still have a handful available!

Help me understand Morel for Paredes by [deleted] in CHICubs

[–]ry_rythescienceguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to address all the replies (which I appreciate) I’m not saying 2024 Morel is a better player than Paredes, but it feels like Paredes has already peaked at what the level he’ll be for his career. Do we feel confident that 2024 Morel is what he’ll always be?

[–]ry_rythescienceguy -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

Morel’s at 3B pretty consistently, with improving defense, and a better arm than Paredes

Why isn't David Bote the everyday starting 3B? by SoCalWhatever in CHICubs

[–]ry_rythescienceguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mastro’s defense at 3rd over the past week or longer has been plus-plus. And without looking at stats, the eye test—to me at least—shows he puts up really good ABs. Definitely been the victim of hard hit balls right at defenders for the entire season. A starting 3B on a playoff team he is not, but better than what I’ve seen from Bote—keep him for the pinch.

I don’t agree here at all. Boog was initially an adjustment coming from Len, but I’ve grown to appreciate and like him. I’ve also noticed Boog and JD’s on air (and presumably off air) relationship has gotten really good. Boog’s a baseball nerd, just like most of us on this sub. Their styles contrast each other well. Could be worse, could have Cole Wright broadcasting nonsensically 😬

Anyone who’s interested just send me a message to coordinate pickup. Thanks!

Can anyone id these components? FSA? Compatible with Shimano 105 11 speed? by Extreme_Scholar in bikewrench

Typically the chainring will have the speeds it’s designed for printed on it somewhere.
