Small sample size but Miguel Amaya is hitting .274 and has an OBP of .400

And the dumbest manager in baseball plays him 1-2 times a week.

When’s the last time the Cubs scored 17 unanswered runs? Ever?

"Respectable" .710 OPS and he's in the minors. Damn.

Come on... You need that Mancini -1.2 WAR and .647 OPS in the lineup.. I mean, that would be like giving up on Nefi Perez during the Baker years.

I also really don't need to see Tauchman, Barnhart or any of the other 30 something year old scrubs anymore. This team isn't going anywhere, might as well see how bad the 20 something year old scrubs are at this point.

1-1 starting a 13 game pre-trade deadline stretch against Washington, STL (2), CWS.
24th or worse team era. 3 teams a combined 45 <.500. Seems likely a fools gold "This team has talent" > .500 stretch.

The rabbit ball in 2019 fooled a lot of GMs, not just Theo.

Cardinals have managed to get themselves to 10 under.

I just remember the articles at the time and how he approached them for the long term security. Im not sure he ever recovered from that shoulder injury he had and luckily it's not crazy money that they gave him. It will be good when he is off the books in 2025 though that much is for sure.

In all three games against the Nationals, the offense was a limp dick vs the starting pitcher. If they had anything resembling a major league bullpen they would have swept the Cubs. I expect them to lose 3 out of 4 to the Cardinals.

Coming up to 2 full years since the '21 trade deadline sell off. First ½ of '21 2 < .500. Now 5 < .500. Still only 2 position top 100 MLB prospects.

I don't understand batting Amaya 9th. At least he's in the fucking lineup though.

In hindsight would have been nice if they skipped a couple starts for the little twirp.

Suzuki might be the biggest bust of the current crop. Not close to Heyward, but come on...7 HR for $100m corner outfielder (including posting fee). At least he has more than Benintendi. :wink:


Suzuki just seemed like "another guy" at the time. Nothing special, not horrible. Turns out he was worse than I thought.

Kap said he was on field pregame recently and asked 3 Cubs who the best player on the team was. All three said Seiya Suzuki. It's Kap so it could be bs. Interesting if it's true.

Baseball needs a robotic strike zone next season. I'm shocked Marmol didn't come out of the dugout and get ejected along with Burleson.
