Cubs should first, above all else, give Wilson Contreras lots of money.

Kevlar v2.0 posted:Are he and Seiya buddies? If not, they should be. I probably should have thought this through more. My definition of "on a western side of a body of water" includes the likes of the Mets and Yankees. We don't want that. I need to do better if we're to land him.

Sydin posted:One of my favorite games to go back and watch in full because the broadcast starts off sucking Kershaw's dick like a vacuum while talking about how Maddon can "maybe hope" to get 3-4 out of Kyle. And then whoops lol we get one of the most iconic October Kershaw choke jobs while Hendricks is pitching the game of his life and Buck/Smoltz go through like the five stages of grief realizing what's happening. Kershaw didn't have a terrible game either. It wasn't good nor anywhere near good-Kershaw but it wasn't a bad outing. If they won that game the story would have been "he pitched good enough." Except cool Kyle was determined to go to the WS and no dodger bat was gonna stop him.

maffew buildings posted:I don't know how you can possibly call a rotation whose starters will average out to 90mph on their 4 seamers (maybe more when Cool Kyle gets that average velo up to 88) "soft tossing" but you do you while I chill out here in the 'Christopher Morel NL MVP' zone Reason #47308 why the cubs need to give Willy a pallet of cash: someone needs to tell future MVP Morel to breathe from the on deck circle.

Edward Mass posted:New fans don’t need all the games. New fans need a single team’s games, unless they’re Rob Lowe in an NFL hat. Have single team subscription plans that give a cut to the team's network. Probably won't go for it because that doesn't give the money a cable provider does. Shoot you could even let the network do their ads instead of the same 3 ads MLB tv shows all season.

GalacticAcid posted:Ads are ugly and annoying. “Hurr durr soccer does it” yea soccer is also two continuous 45-50 minute blocks of play while baseball has a million built-in stoppages ripe for commercial breaks. I can grudgingly see the case for making soccer players into bipedal billboards, I cannot for baseball. Soccer's also ran (I guess?) by the most corrupt international organization on the planet. Don't be like soccer.

Sydin posted:It's this, Cubs brought in a new GM to partner with Jed who was the former head of scouting and development for the Guardians, and apparently he's big on the impact of defensive catchers. He's got a sweet pickoff move and didn't blow a 3-1 world series lead. Don't see what's the problem with his defense all things considered.

Salvor_Hardin posted:Pretty sure Mariano Rivera is the Mariano Rivera of closing. Speaking of, would he have been a good addition for talking about the history of baseball? It was interesting reading top 10 baseball history dudes until the DEALS started happening. When I think of bullpen superstar, I just think of Mariano Rivera. Others but he's always the first one I think of. Maybe it's just because modern bullpen guys throw so hard they typically burn out faster.

Sydin posted:I kinda feel like Bellinger is gonna get as many chances as he wants. Dude had huge prospect pedigree and won RotY and MVP at one point, guys with way less success under their belt continue to find deals in perpetuity. I obviously hope he rights the ship with the Cubs but even if he totally faceplants there will be another team willing to throw 1/10 at him on the hopes he'll bounce back to MVP form. He'll do a reverse Hayward yup 100% guaranteed. That's why they're not gonna sign Bogaerts. At least that's what I tell myself.
