@Brett_A_Taylor I’ve always really liked Peterson’s stuff profile and felt like there was more there.

David Peterson, realistically, is what a June SP trade looks like. It's hard to get excited about this kind of deal when you're backed into a corner - giving up a real prospect for a maybe-average-if-everything-goes-right rental. But this was best Cubs could hope for right now.

@Taylor_McGregor I want to die.

#Cubs place Ben Brown on 15-day IL with a neck strain.

@BadAtEvertin Any ballot without PCA is just wrong

Ethical all star voting

@nyr_nino @BaseballWRLD_ @NoahMOfficial Yes, JJ Wetherholt was clearly a better fit

@BaseballWRLD_ @NoahMOfficial @MrPolichi Could you blame them at the time for taking him

This draft is going down in the history books

@adamwetrust @found_it_funny You can’t end racism, because you can’t control people’s thoughts. But you can make it far less prevalent by not talking about it, the less you talk about something the less power and influence it has. The large media outlets intentionally stir the pot because it gets clicks.

@found_it_funny Okay so how do you end racism?

@AaronLemingNFL Both guys couldn’t hit water if they fell out of a boat, but Romo is at least a quality defender whereas Quero is one of the worst defensive catchers in the league

Gotta be honest, I know Quero has struggled but I just don’t see/get it with Romo…

@cody__cubs Love me some Mastrobouni

sometimes you have to go back to move forward jed

@Cubs Ben Brown’s velo is down and I’m scared

us rn:

@Cubs @WatchMarquee @MotorolaUS Craig, I implore you to play Pedro Ramirez

Your afternoon lineup is here. Watch the game live on @WatchMarquee.

@ChiefCub The cubs can never hit Patrick Corbin lol

The Blue Jays (37-38) arrived at Midway shortly before 9pm yesterday. They are coming off a 3-game road sweep of Red Sox. Blue Jays Probables: •Kevin Gausman (4-4, 3.41) (R) •Patrick Corbin (2-3, 4.57) (L) •Dylan Cease (4-3, 2.71) (R)

@MLBBruceLevine Vladdy gonna hit one 8 million feet off of shota

Cubs pitch Ben Brown - Colin Rea and Shota Imanaga against Toronto

The AssMan!! #Cubs

@PrazMaster I was at that game 🥲

@capihood @Cubs Look at the stats together. Nico has a great xBA which tells you that his low BABIP is an extreme outlier. Dansby’s xBA is awful which tells you that his low BABIP is representative of a bad process. Good process with bad results Vs Bad process with bad results

@MrPolichi @Cubs Well... One metric shows Nico has been more unlucky, another says he hasn't. Neither one of them hold more value than the other. They both have been unlucky, but you're making excuses for Nico and burying Swanson... They both need to sit more.

🚨dansby dinger🚨

@capihood @Cubs Nico xBA is .293 Dansby xBA is .187 Nico’s average is SIXTY points worse than expected, Dansby’s is 12 points worse than expected. Lumping them together is intellectually dishonest and disrespectful to Nico whose underlying metrics are all in line with his career norms.

@MrPolichi @Cubs Nico has a .239 BABIP... Swanson's BABIP is even lower at .208. So, you can't really claim Nico is unlucky and act like Swanson hasn't been unlucky at all. Both of them have slumped the same way.

@capihood @Cubs Nico’s situation is not remotely similar, he’s statistically one of the most unlucky players in the sport this year, and he’s slumping right now so it feels worse than it is. Dansby has just been bad no matter how you look at it, still a very valuable role player tho.

@MrPolichi @Cubs I agree that Counsell should be more picky with his spots until he breaks out of it. Same with Nico

@capihood @Cubs This is actually a matchup where dansby should be playing, the issue is that he’s playing every day against bad match ups where he’s essentially being set up to fail.

@Cubs Way to go, Dansby, snap out of it! Too bad casual fans didn't score those runs cause they benched you in their alternate world lol.

@Padres Lonely feeling for an outfielder when you get one of those, the only thought that goes through your head “oh fuck” and then you have to haul ass 😂

111 off the bat 😮‍💨

@BuschMVP My point is that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, he will be fine (and it’ll probably happen soon). Dansby on the other hand is simply not one of the 9 best players on this team and shouldn’t be playing nearly as much.

@MrPolichi He’s simply hitting the ball on the ground too much when his play relies on line drives

Nico Hoerner having a 50 WRC+ since the beginning of May is definitely not ideal… Might be a big reason this team is one of the worst overall offenses with RISP. Hoerner last season with RISP: .371/.424/.457, 149 WRC+ Hoerner this season with RISP: .227/.295/.307, 70 WRC+ Still, it is June, but this is a concerning sign for a player that you need to perform for your club to be good.
