    Wisdom is off to a great start, your not playing in at SS or 2B and not in the OF so I don’t know if making him our modern day Zobrist is the right move.

    But dude is mashing

    Wisdom to 1B. Morel to 3B. Problem solved.

    Might be time to just make the move with Mervis.

    Are you judging that off ASAP stats? I'm not saying you're wrong.

    he’s younger, faster, better on defense, and hitting better at the same level

    It'll be interesting to track his strikeouts.

    This is the right move. Velasquez is hitting the ball too well to send back to AAA

    He can stay in Iowa a little while longer. There will be injuries.

    I was looking at Caissie’s numbers yesterday. His OPS is awesome but the dude has a 50% k rate right now and that’s down from earlier this week when it was 60%. We might have the next Adam Dunn on our hands.

    No it’s not but Ross is an idiot for using Rucker in a competitive game. They have a number of useful relievers though.

    I’ve seen enough of killian though, let him figure his shit out in the minors and if he doesn’t, cut bait

    Had TJ if I'm not mistaken, correct? Anyways, hope he meets his potential. Was a top 100 prospect once upon a time. Would be nice to Brailyn Marquez throw a baseball again, too. Some tough luck for guys who used to be at the top of our prospects list.

    Yeah, had TJ surgery and is finally putting it all together. Excited for him. Now if we can just call out one or two more guys who seem to be very ready for that nod. lol

    So it’s ok now to say the cubs keeping certain guys on the roster and others in Iowa is bad now? Because a few days ago it wasn’t

    Also

    Yes, getting three more weeks of data is generally a good thing when people are using a lack of data and small sample size for why they are hesitant to call people up.

    The players that are performing bad now are just bad and have been bad. This isn’t some shocking revelation. Mervis mashed at AA, he mashed and AAA last year, he’s mashing now. Again, not a surprise

    3 days ago you were crying because I said the cubs are giving away games. Now enough is enough, got it

    Your first baseman is fucking bunting with no outs and the go ahead run on 2nd base. Get him out of here. What a frustrating loss and series. Jed needs to make a move.

    This is what this team is… we got off to a hot start sure, but the team is a .500 roster and we’re playing like one.

    Aggressively average roster. It would probably be okay if they hit for more power, but because they don’t, the entire lineup has to be clicking for them to create consistent offense.

    I don't think the panic is warranted. You're due to lose some games when you run into a powerhouse team like the 2023 Washington Nationals.
