Jason Heyward 4 consecutive seasons being below league average with the bat; #Cubs fans defend him until the end.

Almora gets the CF job, plays bad D all year and hits .236; #Cubs fans defend him.

Addison Russel gets suspended then hits .239; ok- nobody defends him
Jed trades Tommy LaStella to the Angels for nothing and hes an All Star: Cubs fans could care less.

Jed signs Descalso to a larger deal than TLS and he hits .174

Craig Kimbrel is 31% below leagye average on the mound and 136% below his own personal average: we all wanted him.
Jed cuts Cargo the same day Heyward cant go and with our starting catcher in RF a dropped ball costs us a game.

Ian Happ spends 3 months in Iowa watching Almora and DD get at bats: BTW Happ has an OPS+ of 127 and Almora/DD combine for an OPS+ of 104 (lol).
Ben Zobrist leaves the team for moat of the season.

Nobody in the front office addresses the need for a backup SS most of the season costing us many games.

Cole Hamels, Javier Baez, Pedro Strop, KB, Willson, Kimbrel, Kintzler, Rizzo and Hendricks all lose time to injuries.
WE HAVE NO LEADOFF HITTER: again.

The owner sends a bunch of racists tweets.

The team signs mega deal with racist propoganda based media company.

Addison Russell still getting PT.

The #Cubs havnt drafted a good pitcher since God knows when.
But sure; Joe YOU need to go.

Joe Namath's rookie contract was the largest in professional football history. Not among rookies, among everyone.

His knees were so messed up that the military gave him deferred service. He used to have to get them drained during halftime so he could finish games.
Despite this, Namath made the pro bowl in his 1965, his first season, and was named Rookie of the Year. He was a first-team All Pro QB in 1967, 1968, and 1969, earning AFL MVP in the latter two seasons.

(Side note: in 1969 the AP named him 2nd-team All Pro *AND* league MVP.)
Shortly after, injuries began to mount. He missed 9 games in 1970 and 10 games in 1971 before playing 13 out of 14 games in 1972 and again being named first-team All Pro, this time of the post-merger league.

Missed 8 more games in 1973 before winning Comeback PotY in 1974.

#THREAD to try to make sense of #Italy’s govt crisis: PM Conte will address the Senate at 15.00CET today. No vote of confidence is scheduled but it could be called by the League UNLESS PM uses the speech to announce his resignation. The latter is the most likely scenario. 1/n
If #Conte resigns Pres Mattarella will hear representatives from all parties & decide whether to: a) let PD/5Stars form a new govt; b) install a caretaker govt to pass the budget; c) call a snap election. Italy hasn’t seen a general election in the fall since 1919. 2/n
The reason for avoiding elections in the fall is the national #budget: deadline for approval is Dec 31. #Italy must send a draft of its 2020 one to @EU_Commission in early Oct. Running a campaign, an election and installing a new govt in the midst of it all is no joke. 3/n

#Cubs Prospect Thread: 2B Chase Strumpf
The Cubs 2nd round pick this year. Strumpf struggled early in his final collegiate season, which likely cost him chance at 2st round, before finishing strong. He's been an XBH machine since turning pro.
1/
Relies on compact swing and a discerning eye at the plate. Can pull his hands inside, and possesses good barrel control. Capable of going with pitches the other way and back up the middle. Will foul off pitches and rarely chase so he's a tough out.
2/
Plenty of pull power, especially on pitches elevated in the zone. Not sure if he has the raw strength or swing to drive pitches and do a lot of damage to opposite field. Still has room to add size on his frame though.
3/

@CubsDen Top 20 #Cubs Prospect - April Status Check:
1. Nico Hoerner:📈He's done everything you could ask of a player making the jump to AA in his first full pro season (.293/.388/.483, 154 wRC+, 10.4 BB%, 11.9 K%). Currently out, but due back soon after getting hit on the wrists
2. Miguel Amaya: The rough edges on a 20-year old show at times on passed balls and in the .200 batting average, but his plate discipline remains sound (14.3 BB%), his power has played (.257 ISO), and his defensive issues can be chalked up to lack of experience.
3. Brailyn Marquez: We haven't seen improvements up this point. His stuff looks very similar to what we saw last year. His control and command have been spotty at times, but as a 20-year old playing in bad weather, there has been nothing real concerning.

Cubs Prospects - Bryan Smith

Going to start Opening Day with a story on a player I really respect, a player that has earned the honor he’ll receive today.

This is the thread of his minor league path. (1/8)
2013 - first full yr. Impresses in spring. Hard worker. Gets chance to fill in as High-A bench player. In May, gets a regular job in Low-A. In 17 games, hits 143/311/224. Sent down to short-season ball.

Had they drafted a dude that June at his position, perhaps he gets released.
2014 - Earns Low-A regular job. Plays horrible. Demoted to short-season ball. Then back to Low-A as injury fill-in. Then back across country to Northwest League. At end of season, they need him for four games in Triple-A. Homers in first AAA game. Had 1 HR in previous 51.

#Cubs Prospect Thread: OF Cole Roederer

Not a big guy, Roederer rose to early round draft consideration this season despite battling injury by reworking his swing to translate his considerable bat speed into in-game power. He now regularly draws comparisons to Andrew Benintendi.
Usually when the term five-tool player is attached to a prospect at least one of those tools tend to outshine the others. In the case of Cole Roederer that may not be the case as most who have seen him attach 50-55 grades across the board.
Roederer became an immediate star in the AZL after signing. He showed off not just power but plate discipline as well. He used his above average speed to steal bases and cover ground in CF. He was among the best prep players to debut in 2018.
