IST: Cubs @ White Sox

Let’s talk baseball instead. Schwarber looks good. If he’s hot for awhile it’s a huge boost to this lineup.

I'm worried about Bryant. Is he done?

There is an entire thread specifically for the Russell situation. Can you three boneheads discussing it here please take it there?

Thank you for trying to steer these creepy rapist apologists back to baseball talk, much appreciated.

Better calm down, little guy. I have no problems reporting you for personal attacks. That's a violation of the coveted Rule #1.

Keep on hating women, loser.

Go away.

Go away.

Please talk baseball... much appreciated!

Nice to see a great Hendricks outing and the bats backing him up. Wish the Brewers would lose one here once in awhile!

2 edge sword. Every win means a worse draft pool. The bottom is tighter than the top.

Winning means less than losing for them this year.

Normally yes, but this time around, we've basically locked in the third position. I would have taken another win or two.

Congrats on finishing us off and more importantly getting closer to another division title.

This thread needs to be moved to B&I.

I worked with the High School and my Church all weekend, come in here to catch up and basically a wasted IST. Thanks.

Something else I was thinking about re: the machado FA talks we had before this thread utterly devolved is that Machado was traded in season. Harper wasn't. Harper's going to cost the team that signs him a first round pick Machado just costs money

I thought the rules changed?

Maybe I'm wrong about it being a first round pick. Now that you mention it I believe it might only be a 2nd but point here is that one player still will cost additional resources.

I wonder if Cubs had known about Russell earlier if they would have gone harder after Machado. He'd look really good right now and Dodgers wouldn't look nearly as tough an out.

they had nothing to offer

they had nothing to offer

Happ, Russell, Schwarber

Happ, Russell, Schwarber

That wouldn't have done Baltimore any good unless you're talking a three-way trade. Those guys would all be long gone before they're ready to compete again in 5-6 years. Besides if you look at what Machado has done in LA and then what Schwarber and Happ have done, even if they haven't been great, and this team would be worse right now had you made that deal.
