Wild Card IST: Marlins AT Cubs

[zack54attack]

Cmon offense.

 

[knoxville7]

Cmon offense.

not sure why he loves to have caratini in the DH spot. He’s struggled at the plate all year

 

[CSF77]

do you mean final years as a cub? Or final years being good? If it’s the latter, you’re nuts lol

Not being good? All have trade value. This year is a oddity by nature and the results should be suggestive verses hard data going into the off season.

End of the day Bryant had a off year but he is still young and a impact talent. This year the market won't be diluted with 3B. DJ LeMahieu, INF, NYY, age 32 and a 36 yo Turner are the top F/A. Not really a outstanding market.

Baez on the other hand is walking into Francisco Lindor, Javier Báez, Carlos Correa, Corey Seager, Trevor Story. You could argue that Baez might be the least desired target here.

A alternative idea would be trade Bryant and sign Andrelton Simmons. That point move Javy to 3B which improv s his market if he chooses to test.

On Schwarber I would trade him 100%. His market is so so and you really can not expect a impact return. It would be more so to change the line up dynamic and resigning Billy. He is not going to command much on the market and Davis should end up as the future in CF. Moving Ian to his eventual landing spot should be the goal.

Same old pathetic playoff Cub offense

cubs are favored to advance past the marlins

 

[zack54attack]

Rain coming down hard now..

 

[JimJohnson]

Cubs just can't hit the ball. Pathetic.

 

[JimJohnson]

Great throw Javy

 

[zack54attack]

Heck of a play by KB. Needed that.

 

[knoxville7]

Hendricks is so damn good at situational pitching

 

[JimJohnson]

Finally. Nice one Happ.

 

[zack54attack]

Happ! Needed that one!

 

[zack54attack]

Cmon Kyle

 

[knoxville7]

Hendricks is so damn good at situational pitching

and again

 

[JimJohnson]

And that's game

 

[zack54attack]

Felt like they should have pulled Kyle.

 

[JimJohnson]

I mean we knew coming in that Kyle and Yu would basically have to throw CG shutouts and we didn't get that from Kyle. Simply not good enough.

 

[zack54attack]

That’s all on Ross. Yikes.

 

[greg23]

Is Ross managing or just a fan/buddy on the bench?

His pen should have been double barreled and ready to stat the inning.....as soon as the first hit, go to them.

Instead he lets Hendricks linger then linger then lose the lead in. 2 pitch span.......oh....and he had 1 guy up who is his closer and is now in the game in the 7th fking inning with his team losing.....perfect!
