    What TV show are you streaming right now?

    I just finished a rewatch of Dopesick on Hulu. Certainly not an uplifting story, but it's very compelling and full out outstanding performances.

    What TV show are you streaming right now?

    British TV titles are about as diverse as the royal gene pool, apparently.

    ***Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    Honestly, all of this has had me going down the rabbit hole on Baseball Reference, looking at Cubs pitchers' splits by catcher. And wow, his bat an arm had most of us glossing over *a lot*. I think by probably around 2018 or 2019, most fans could acknowledge his issues framing, but there's no...

    The bleachers are the best place to watch a baseball game, and it's not even close. Unless you're a Cardinals fan, then maybe not so much lol.

    He's fallen on my ranking recently. Injuries definitely played a big role, but he's really struggled at AAA. At the moment, this is what my OF prospect rankings look like: 1. Alcantara (I think he's gonna be a *stud*) 2. PCA 3. Velasquez 4. Canario 5. Davis Alcantara and PCA are really close...

    Iowa City Trip

    If you're referring to the original Vine, it was the same hole in the wall bar it always was the last time I went (but that's probably been at least five years at this point). I loved going there to watch the Cubs in the 2016 playoffs. I've never gone to the newer one on the Coralville strip.

    ***Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    Why would I have done that, when the issue was apparently a fundamental misunderstanding of how a MO works? I made an assumption that was logically sound, and I was apparently wrong. Do you want a hug and a kiss to make up, or would you rather cry a little longer about someone saying that you...

    ***Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    If that's the case, it's such a stupid way to structure the option. One would logically expect the team to pay the buyout if it wants to avoid paying even more for an extra season, but it makes no sense for them to pay it if they want to keep the player and the player declines. That's not so...

    ***Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    No, he won't. The buyout is only paid if the club opts out of the remaining year(s). There is no buyout when the player elects FA, which is what Bellinger will (in all likelihood) do.

    ***Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    No need. His is a mutual option, and if he keeps this up, there's zero chance he takes one extra year at $25M over what he'll get in FA.

    I still think they'll start playing better ball eventually, but I'll be shocked if they get hot enough to get within shouting distance of contention in the standings.

    Worst record through 50 games in MLB history for teams that eventually made the playoffs: 18-32 (2005 Astros, 1974 Pirates) The Cardinals are all but past the point of no return.

    A few of the restaurants mentioned are definite winners (Oasis, Wig & Pen, Short's). An alternative to Shorts is Stella, which is just west of Kinnick on Melrose. It's mostly the same burger lineup (same ownership), but it can be easier to get a table than Short's depending on the time of day...

    ***Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    I wasn't kidding when I said a few pages back that I don't think it'll take 90+ wins to win this division. It's better than it has been lately, at least from top to bottom, but no team that wins it is a serious WS contender. They just get a puncher's chance by making the playoffs.

    What could he possibly still need to show at this point? He (and Morel) are both crushing AAA pitching to an absurd degree. There's nothing more they can do in the minors. Either they're ready or they're AAAA players. Either way, it's time to find out which it is.

    And I've seen plenty of them. "This reeks of Kathleen Kennedy..." is the kind of thing you'll see in most of them, and I'm beyond tired of it. If you're not interested in watching more of Rey or Finn's stories, then don't watch them. It's only divisive if certain fans choose to make it so. Is it...

    Take your own advice and let it go. I'm so ****ing tired of seeing this lame-ass Kennedy line of thought. Everything wrong in Star Wars is Kathleen Kennedy's fault, blah, blah, blah. If you aren't interested, then just stfu and don't watch. It's not that ****ing difficult.
