NWINFan Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 What a perfect day for a Cub opener. I can feel that win off of the lake. Cub fans will be sporting blue shirts and blue asses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 On paper, that offense for the Cubs doesn't look too bad. The problem is on the pitching side. At this point, it might be that the team has moved on and waiting for the inevitable teardown if Rizzo's not coming back. Because that means with Bryant likely gone (perhaps holding out for a comp pick if they're somehow competing still in July and don't like the offers), then what's the point of trying to keep Baez and/or Contreras? Jake Arrieta's on his last legs and he's their second starter. Makes the White Sox "problems" with pitching look tame by comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Was expecting a Fathom reaction tonight. On the plus side, a Cubs' run this makes it incredibly difficult to sell Marquee if if if they gut their team while still competing. Tough position to be in with Bryant, Baez and Rizzo.

CentralChamps21 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 For the Houston Astros, Gurriel, Correa, Altuve and Alvarez have combined for 59 hits. The entire Cubs team has 59 hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I liked the intentional balk by Kimbrel. Surprised more pitchers don’t do this in the ninth up more than a run. https://www.audacy.com/670thescore/sports/chicago-cubs/craig-kimbrel-intentionally-recorded-his-first-career-balk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35thstreetswarm Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 Cubs with a big May, but against the very bottom of MLB in Pittsburgh, Detroit, Washington, etc. Stepping into a schedule buzzsaw now playing SD for two series, SF, Mets, Brewers, 4 at LA. Will be interesting to see if they fall out despite playing in what's looking like a weak division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they keep hanging in there and use some resources to buy a few arms and keep Bryant and everyone else. Then in August their awful pitching is exposed and Bryant walks for free and Cubs start a rebuild on flat feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 With Flaherty out for months, Cubs are in good shape right now. Their offense is clicking and bullpen has been amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 In a survey of baseball executives and scouts, there are seven teams that could be involved in a bidding war for Bryant’s services: the San Francisco Giants, Texas Rangers, Seattle Mariners, New York Mets, Philadelphia Phillies, Boston Red Sox and Washington Nationals. source: Nightengale, yahoosports.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 The worst possible thing is happening for the cubs. Their superstar free agents are performing to a level they had not recently but they do not have the pitching to sustain this. Not sure their bullpen performance is sustainable but their rotation certainly is not playoff caliber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if they are still in first at that point....they'll get destroyed if they trade KB for prospects. But I think they can pull it off with the fans even if they are 2-3 games out. Because I think this was the plan the entire time.....Jed anticipated re-stocking the farm with a few of these trades and I think the future becomes a lot harder for them if they "go for it" in 2021.

They better hope the Cardinals get healthy or the Brewers take off because all three look to be around 85-87 wins and the Reds seem to be hanging in there. With Darvish and their current pen they walk away with the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a best case scenario, they either piss off their fan base, or they push back their rebuild and make it more difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a ton of die hard Cub fans in my circle, but the few I do have all said they looked at this year as a rebuilding year and realize 2021 isn't going to result in a World Series, so start the process. Now I know a ton of people won't embrace that idea and want to see Rizzo-Bryant-Javy-Contreras all stay forever but I do think if they fall in the standings a bit and aren't in first place by July 31, they can get away with trading a few core pieces and not get totally killed by the fanbase. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
