My favorite teams
Good game today. Stroman really earned this win, good D definitely helped..
Today was the recipe the cubs plan on winning games with. Great pitching and defense, and find a way to scrape a couple runs togetherGood game today. Stroman really earned this win, good D definitely helped..

Yea, but he is right. This team will win with base hits, great defense, and pitching. They arent going to smash homeruns but they have a good deep squad that will compete for a playoff spot.I prefer todays strategy of score bunch of runs and crush the opponent

ATM yes. After Suzuki comes back it changes. Matt Mervis at AAA .240/.394/.520
Tat is a L/R tandem that instantly increases line up power.
Currently Suzuki is at AAA on rehab. So Jed could have either up if needed.
I see it as Hosmer could platoon strait with Mancini at 1B.
So I would do when Suzuki gets back demote/release Rios. Then promote Mervis to be the prime DH and demote/release Torrens.
This also allows David some flexibility. He could put Mervis at 1B mover Mancini to RF and let Suzuki have DH days to prevent injury.
Regardless this team is not at its full potential. What is missing is just a matter of time.
Hoerner
Swanson
Happ
Suzuki
Bellinger
Wisdom
Mervis
Hosmer/Mancini
Bernhart/Gomes
Also both of Mervis' home runs came against Lefties. I think he might be Schwarber potentially.
My god, just stop itRegardless. Swanson looks like a steal for the offseason. Best player for the cash investment.
BTW Schwarber never became good until he left the Cubs. He was never a sure thing.
Even this year he is slumping out of the gate. .143/.143/.343 No walks and 12 SO to date. So that and a career -59.2 DEF really pushes him to all or nothing mode. Which is what Mervis is also.
Career wise Schwarber .232/.353/.558 The bar is not high TBH. So I never over rated his big home run or nothing approach.
His highest WAR value has been 2.8. That is not an all star that is a roster filler.
No, I say all star because he’s been voted an all star multiple seasonsDude. 46 HR and a .211 BA.
It is so easy to look at one stat and say all star.
But as a body of work. He is a one trick pony. He has crap D. Can't even take advantage of the no shift.
And why don't you hang his poster right next to Heyward's. Both were remarkable on winning the WS.
I would rather have a complete player for the $$$
Mervis is a ¢ and can be replaced.
I’m ready to see what Mash can doYea, but he is right. This team will win with base hits, great defense, and pitching. They arent going to smash homeruns but they have a good deep squad that will compete for a playoff spot.

You arguing he’s not an all star is well…strange
Again, Mervis is not as good of a baseball player as Schwarber. You were clamoring for the guy that played some first base last year for the cubs, too. I can’t even remember that bums name. Mervis is more likely to be another name forgotten than he is to be better than Kyle “multiple all star selection” Schwarber
Yep. He is wrecking AAA. Time to see what he brings to the next level.I’m ready to see what Mash can do
An All Star and selected to the WBC USA team.No, I say all star because he’s been voted an all star multiple seasons

You know....I'm saying this even though I like what I've seen of Mervis and really believe he will eventually be the guy at first when the Cub's spasmatic love affair with Hosmer reaches it's end. But you really need to actually watch some baseball instead of planting your nose up Bill James ass all the time. There's a lot more to the game than fucking numbers. To downplay the fact that Schwarber was an allstar and a leader in HRs is ludicrous. He still should still be here DHing for the next 10 years....instead we get a GM with the foresight of a toad, not seeing that the future of baseball has DH written all over it.Any other tricks that you can perform. You have future sense. How about levitate a chick then cut her in half.
And nominated to a all star means anything.
Fans vote them in. It is a popular contest. Not based off experts.
Very entertaining bro. Standing O
