Kolek planning to go pro
Wilson Contreras out of the lineup today too.
Burnes got his run support today.
Not that he needs much of it. SHEESH!
Threw $10 at him winning cy young before the season started
His season line is just sick. 18.1IP, 4H, 1ER, 0BB, 30K
It’s fine when Javy throws his bat at the pitcher or two brewers get plunked up and in while the Cubs are getting blown out or Woody gets thrown at. But god forbid Contreras stands over the plate and gets hit.
Baddoo having the hottest start in Tiger history. You know it will end, but it is always fun to watch.
I’m not taking anything away from the Brewers, but that is a very bad Cubs team.
Its very interesting, and I think a lot remains to be seen how this year shakes out. There is a lot of recency bias. Baez was terrible at the plate in 2020 by his standards, but we're not even 10% through the season. Baez goes 3-4, 2-4, and 1-3 in a 3 game series and all of a sudden he's hitting .290 and rumors of his demise are forgotten.Seager I'd agree with. He's quietly become arguably a top 3 SS. Story if he stays in Colorado, definitely. But Baez is a much better defender than both of them.Correa I don't agree with. He got most of his shine from those first 3 years. He was pretty meh in 2018 which was his last full season. Then up and down in 2019. And again, not the fielder Baez is.Again, this is all assuming Baez regains some semblance of himself at the plate. He's had struggles that he's worked through, its not new. He's always been confident and free swinging. But those 4 will all make the market very competitive. If not for COVID, Baez probably would have gotten a big deal in Chicago in the offseason and been locked up for the long haul.Iglesias and Simmons are both older and light hitting, so they will be decently behind.
Pretty much like every other Chicago team now, eh? (Just givin' ya crap dish.)
You're right though. The Sox have played pretty poorly. Their depth is embarrassing. Tim can't get back soon enough.
Take that Chris Shelton.
Will they finish ahead of Baltimore?
