Jeff Sullivan

4:40

99mph off the bat. Just, juuuuuuuuuust missed

After 1! 1-0 Cubs, but neither pitcher looks good

Craig Edwards

4:40

Pitcher enjoyability for me-a ton of movement on pitches-although ability to locate and working quickly also help.

Zmccoy

4:42

In that case, tonight should be fun for you Craig

Kyle

4:42

What do you think is the best position for Schwarbs in the future?

Craig Edwards

4:43

We really don't know how he'll come back yet, but probably DH.

Seth

4:43

Looks like a battle of poor command vs poor stuff right now.

Craig Edwards

4:43

Both pitchers are definitely battling.

Tyler

4:43

Maddux has to be my all time favorite pitcher to watch

Craig Edwards

4:43

He's a good one.

Ned Ghost

4:44

Stuck in class, can't see game. Which pitcher looks worse right now?

Craig Edwards

4:44

yes

KingSupreme

4:44

Will the Cubs excellent season be diminished if they lose the World Series?

Jeff Sullivan

4:45

No question that it will. *Should* it be? Well, people don't seem to care so much about that

Craig Edwards

4:45

it will be enhanced if they win it, but they've had a great year and are set up to continue giving themselves more chances

Hunny buns

4:45

Sanchez a good defender??? He has a cannon but everything else was bad I heard

peachesnnuts

4:46

I get distracted by goofy mechanics. Kershaw drives me crazy for instance, I want a clean delivery to watch

Jeff Sullivan

4:46

Good receiver as well. Haven't heard complaints about his game-calling. I don't know if he's so agile, and sometimes they say he takes plays off, but scouts agree he turned a corner in his motivation a year or two ago

4:46

World baseball classic do anything for you guys?

Jeff Sullivan

4:46

Great entertainment! Wish the US team cared more

4:47

It's always weird to watch those things and realize you're not rooting for your own country

Craig Edwards

4:47

It's interesting, but I usually find spring training compelling. I would love to see it at another time but it isn't feasible.

Jeff Sullivan

4:47

You find spring training compelling?!

Craig Edwards

4:48

i like to see the narratives develop, not the actual games as much.

Bob

4:49

Think arrieta ever was close on an extension? Feel like the Cubs may have dodged a bullet on that one.

Craig Edwards

4:49

I doubt it. He was almost definitely headed for free agency and he will probably cash in.

Matt

4:49

Ramirez is not a .300 hitter. But he's better than a .250 hitter, right? What we thinking next season - can he keep it up around .280?

Jeff Sullivan

4:49

I seldom think in terms of average but I expect a wRC+ around 100 - 110

Crusty Juggler

4:50

Would either of you have treated Schwaber for Miller?

Craig Edwards

4:51

I might have, depending on the alternatives.

Jeff Sullivan

4:51

I probably would have, but I see Schwarber more as a good hitter than as a good player

Yoshimitsu

4:51

Would you rather have Ramirez or Baez on your team?

Matt

4:51

Without Schwarber's injury, Baez would have gotten ____ PAs in the regular season.

Jeff Sullivan

4:52

That's a good one! I will take Baez by a hair, assuming he is defensively special

Craig Edwards

4:52

300-350?

I would also take Baez.

Randy Savage

4:53

It's the not even remotely competitive pitches that turn me off from Bauer

Jeff Sullivan

4:53

You and me both. It's aggravating even though I know he is trying his best

I just loathe wasted pitches

4:53

How will Schwarber DH? Aren't the Cubs high on him?
