It is imperative to make a run at Darvish. This pitching staff is aging a rapid rate and frankly the bullpen is average at best.
Not sure if serious. As a SP this year he pitched fairly well. 4.15 ERA and 1.14 WHIP. That is an upgrade to what Lackey was.BoDog said:
If Monty is in the starting rotation next year then you might as well throw in the towel for '18. He is beyond dreadful.
I think it was Wade. I don't think "hurt" but clearly toast for the season. Makes the strange Joe moves make more sense.Quote:
Supposedly Theo said on Chicago radio yesterday that Joe was handcuffed this postseason due to some injuries that weren't public knowledge. I wonder who that was.

i agree on schwarbs. Love the guy and intensity and i am sure a great teammate. Almora needs to be everyday in CF with Happ. Heyward needs to figure it out as his bat is a hindrance to the team.
Quote:
God willing Theo and the gang will make a serious run at Bryce Harper after next year.

Why in God's name would you love Heyward?
Five key questions facing the Cubs this offseasonBoDog said:
This last month told me all i needed to know in regards to Monty.
Quote:
An NL scout assessed in December that left-hander Mike Montgomery fared better as a starter, and Montgomery's postseason struggles out of the bullpen concur with that evaluation.

Chili Davis is the new hitting coach.
It was obviously a great game, but no way is it greatest game ever. Game 7 last year. Game 6 of Rangers - Cardinals in 2011. those two come to mind without putting a thought into it.diehard03 said:
With all this greatest game ever seen nonsense going around today...
I still prefer ending 108 year drought....in Game 7...in extra innings after shelling the "unhittable pitcher" early, blowing the save.
But that's just me.

Man, I've been reading the Astros thread the last few games a bit and I sure as **** hope we were nothing like that during last year's WS. There are so many whiny *****es on there.

With the Cubs out of it, I go into "baseball guy" mode and just enjoy watching every pitch i can get before the season ends, however, there is nothing appealing to me about this Astros team.
Quote:
However, guys like Bregman, Gonzalez, and Yuriel i wish nothing more than complete failure on. I could also go on about the stadium and their fans but its late and I'm going to bed.
