Chicago Cubs 2021 season

[champaignchris]

Wouldn't a possible return for option C be making the playoffs this season, sounds pretty good to me.

Also, assuming the Cubs make qualifying offers to each player (and barring a catastrophic injury, they will), they’d get draft picks in compensation if they sign anywhere else.

And in the cases of Rizzo and Baez, I’m not sure that any prospects they’d receive in trade would be THAT much greater in value than the draft picks.

If the choice is to keep one of the three, try to re-sign Bryant and say farewell and thanks for the memories to Rizzo and Baez.

Bullpen: 0 ER over 29.2 IP in the last 9 games.

ETA: probably not coincidentally, 7-2 record in those 9 games.

Maybe we should have the bullpen pitch the entire game.

Cubs 3.4 runs/game vs the Pirates and 4.9 runs/game against everybody else makes no sense.

I know it worked and he is fun to watch but this is inept execution by the Pirates. Take two steps back and step on first. Give him credit for putting pressure on a defense for sure.

The first baseman should be sent directly to the minors.

Right on cue:

That might be the worst play I've ever seen in over forty years of watching baseball.

Still stunned that he just didn't step on the bag. Should be DFA.

Let’s not excuse the catcher either. He seems to be asking for the throw. Get away from home plate eliminate that as an option. 12 year old baseball stuff.

I havent seen a play that crazy since Milford High played the New Thayer Nine in the 1974 Connecticut HS state playdowns !
Whenever Tod Andrews and I run into Larry Cutter at "The Bucket" it somehow manages to come up

It's only the end of May with the dog days of summer ahead, but it's fun to say they are tied for first!
