I've been ready to part with Fran for a couple years now. Not only has he failed to recruit a legit Big Ten Guard in 10 years, had no postseason runs, plays too many guys, doesn't know when to use a time out or teach defense... his tantrums and continual embarrassing meltdowns have run their...

Just a quick glance looks like he averages around 150 Ks a year the last 5 or so. Which is the same # Baez, Bryant and Schwarb had this year. He had a nice hot streak for the Cubs but he isn't a "contact" hitter by any means. Much of it depends on how much salary he is demanding, but I just...

I like Castellanos, but I just don't know if he is really the main need for this team right now. we need a CF or leadoff type guy worse. Also pitching.

I don't think it is beyond the realm of possibilities. I think good pitching might be hard to find though, everyone wants it. Need to develop some of our own for a change.

Castellanos was good for us, but man that would mean we move Heyward to RF (unless we move Schwarb). I really want to keep him in RF where he is a Gold Glover and game changer. In CF he is just average.

Gonna be an interesting offseason for sure. A lot of holes to fill and we have a large payroll already. From my perspective we need a 2B (maybe they think Hoerner is ready), a CF, a leadoff man preferably, a couple starting pitchers and bullpen help including a fallback if Kimbrel sucks/or hurt.

I'm struggling to be optimistic. It's hard to expect much because as of right now we still don't have the stud PG we have desperately needed Fran's entire tenure and the unknowns of Nunge, CJ, Joe T , JBo health etc just create a ton of uncertainty and what ifs. There is just so much "if...

Some home grown pitchers would be nice for sure. Happ had a great last couple weeks, I still think his swing seems too long IMO. He is just not a good Infielder either, so Outfield is gonna have to be it.

I forgot Rendon is a Boras Agent. That'll make it tough to do much with him. I wouldn't rule out Schwarber moving. Just my opinion. Sure they love him, but he is less flexible as far as positioning. Left handed power hitters don't grow on trees but to get value you have to give up value so...

Going to be an interesting offseason for sure. Appreciate the run Joe had. Will be interesting to see who they replace him with. Here are a couple thoughts I have: - Even though it "feels" like it, I don't believe our "window" to compete is over. We still have a nucleus of Riz, Bryant...

Last night was tough boys. it might have been the nail in the coffin. It was close to being the momentum swing we needed and went south fast. We are just grasping right now, no swagger.

Agreed, that was a great play. The Cards are playing much better defense this year than us and doing all the little things right.

Going to be a crazy final two weeks of the season for sure. We are a completely different team at home which is also nuts. With as many injuries as we have had this year to key guys, Zobrist unexpectedly being gone, our front office not supplying any back end bullpen help most of the year it...

Best part of the punt return is that he pushed the Iowa guy out of the way and might have done us a favor by doing that too? Our guy might have possibly grazed the returner and drawn a flag had he not been shoved out of the way LOL. Sure looked like he had a good head of steam going towards...

Not sure if we have the "go to" guy this year like a Hockenson, one might arise though. But what we do appear to have at the WR position is a little bit of depth with no huge drop off to where the opponent can't focus on one guy. 5 different players scored touchdowns and that is a good thing...

The Cards starting pitching is really phenomenal right now and is what scares me most. Hoping we can get on them like we did Thor last night!

You are correct, the series against the Cards will most likely determine our fate.

This team has been maddening to follow this year. You think they are getting it together and then BAM, they just look awful again. Just such a head scratcher of a year, but just crossing my fingers we somehow sneak out the division. If we don't we are toast I don't think we get in the...

Stay healthy in the rotation when Hammel's comes back we are in good shape I think, one reason being is we play less over .500 teams than the Brewers or Cards. These Pesky Reds scare me more than the Cards though.

Nice way to start the 2nd half of the season, with a sweep of the Pirates! Now lets keep it going!
