Man, what a gift Duran gave us by not advancing on that line out to McKinstry, who made a throw to the plate that was roughly as accurate as throws I make to the plate from left field.
Dan almost miscalled the Riley line drive as going into the outfield, although Story almost made an amazing catch. Maybe he should considered letting the play play out before making the call.
Jed appears to be unclear on the nature of the major league baseball business: namely, it's a legalized monopoly that's essentially a license to print money regardless of the quality of the product.
That's what they're doing. Besides, they'll match up pretty well against those other three teams specially when they get Imanaga and Assad back, and should they get Alcantara, although really, they'd be better off pursuing back end bullpen help.
Don't know but desperate teams in active markets can do crazy things. Cubs pushed all the chips into the middle of the table for this season so they can't afford to just let it slip away without a fight.
Alcantara is going to be the hottest trade target of the deadline and it would take probably more than one Pipeline numbered prospect to win him, over other suitors. The Cubs in particular are down three starters now in their 2025-or-bust win-now season, and have a ****ton of numbered guys they can offer up in trade. Would you be willing to give them two or more of ours?
Ah well, at least I’m not disappointed since I didn’t have any actual hope.
Sad to lose the series, but another series starts tomorrow. Get back on the horse.
Among CPAC he is.
But even so, it doesn’t have to be true for them to do this. This is an old Russian trick: lie and induce people to embrace the lie, as a litmus test of loyalty.
