Well I guess we will never know. I wouldnt have thru Kopech in either as he thru damn near 50 pitches 2 days prior.
Wasnt Lopez an option and wasnt he pretty good down the stretch?

I’m a huge Lopez fan and I hope he’s part of the rotation next year. He can take Rodons spot or split starts with Kopech.

Shitty night for all those Astros fans on TCG…

 

[Chet Donnelly]

Glad to see their cheating asses lose!

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Agreed. Fuck those cheating shit heads.

I remember seeing a crowd shot, game 2 of the WS in Houston, I believe... Some numb nut holding a sign "It's our time..."

Sure is stupid.

Happy to see Freeman get a ring and a HR. Atlanta is tough and young.

 

[Shawn1112]

I dont think anyone expected Atlanta to win it all when the playoffs started. Their starting outfield were all trade deadline acquisitions.
Thats fucking incredible imo! They won less than 90 games this year, as a team they got hot at the right time.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Yea, I mean, from the NL, I would've expected LA or the Giants. Never ATL.

 

[Shawn1112]

Lets see if the Padres can get their shit together next year. Too much talent on that team for them to be missing the playoffs.

They're interviewing Ozzie for manager.

They stole Melvin away from Oakland last week. I think the whole Ozzie thing was meeting the criteria of interviewing a minority.

I took a break from baseball after the ALDS....

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Kinda off-topic, but I guess doing the tomahawk chop by celebrating ATL fans is now "racist".

Unfuckingreal.

 

[Huggerorange73]

White Sox man cave looking ?

Baseball is back, lets get this shit talking started u fucking red headed step children SUX fans!!!!
You guys need a 2nd baseman, right fielder, starting pitcher and a backup catcher, I foresee your jew bag owner settling on 2nd tier guys again.
Looks like another early playoff exit this year. Yes my Cubbies will more than likely suck again. But my happiness will come in the form of all the SUX fans misery come October.

Rondon to the Giants, 2yrs 44 million. Not bad if he can stay healthy, but we all know thats not happening.

I’m gonna watch the cubs struggle against the Schaumburg Flyers, or boomers or whatever they are called this year. ??

We could probably field a team against the cubs and give them a run for their money. Then half of us would be major leaguers cause they would sign us for being so good against them.

I missed this!

Top priority is a RF : Schwarber/Castellanos/Bryant/Conforto any of them will do, prefer a lefty though.

Second base will likely be internal solution if a trade can't be reached to open the season. We can get away with that based on the thumpers elsewhere.

Starting pitching? That's a luxury....Giolito, Cease, Lynn, Kopech and Kuechel are a very solid 5. Lopez and Crochet can spot start as needed....wouldn't be against an insurance starter, but not a pressing need.

Bullpen needs an arm or two.

Backup catcher? Eh....be nice, but not a requirement.

How do the Sox project as a top 5 payroll with a jewbag owner?

Better question....why aren't the Cubs with their massive fanbase and cash printing franchise top 5 every season like the Yankees?

Schwarbs can’t play right field. They coulda has Castelanos 3yrs ago and they cheaped out.

I don’t see an internal solution at 2nd for you guys. I see 5-DH’s though lol

Your starting 5 isn’t as solid as you think

Agreed on the pen, they should resign Tepara imo
Chafin available as well, probably one of the better lefties out of the pen last year

Jew bag meaning he never lands the big fish, always settles for the 2nd tier guys

Id like to ask that cocksucker Ricketts the same question.

 

[Lead Pipe]

Fuck the mlb

 

[Shawn1112]

Fuck the mlb

Owners won again.
Im happy no more guy on 2nd in extras and double headers back to 9 innings.
Not a fan of the universal DH, but it is what it is. What I’m thrilled about is no more shift beginning in 2023. I completely despise the shift.

The shift was 100% out of control, and I'm with you, glad to see it go.

Universal DH makes sense to standardize the game and extend players careers. I'm good with it.

 

[Huggerorange73]

Big news!

 

[Shawn1112]

Signed him for depth, Hoerner is the starter
Anyone that thought Carerra was coming is smoking crack

 

[VenomousDSG]

Meh..... Below average hitter with good fielding, never been an all-star. Expect nothing less from the Cubs. Throws away all the talent for sub-par replacements.

Going to be another sad year for the Cubs.
