the mega-conservative who bitches about welfare queens (and pretty much anyone not straight, not conservative, and not appreciative of how hard white people seem to have it in the world) while talking up his own personal responsibility that got a $75,000,000 loan from the government that he only paid $11m back on...and later settled only paying back $4.4m more...while the whole time (falsely) bitching about how he's in the poor house because of it? yeah, we can hate him, i guess. is ESPN capable of hiring anyone they don't have to suspend at least once a year?

I fully support free speech, and I do think that Schilling has a general point that both sides should be able to express views, even if one side is blatantly and disturbingly wrong. With that said. Free speech has consequences. Being on the wrong side of history has consequences. Being a bigot has consequences. So people shouldn't be hitting him on his turf on facebook...they should be hitting him in the wallet. Don't watch shows with his analysis. Don't support employers that hire him, etc. But yes. Him and Lance Berkman have proven what type of people they are. I wouldn't say I "hate" them as that gives them too much credit of relevance. Instead, I just think of them as very small and insignificant.

i live in NC...the current epicenter for this latest "thing"... we have a bunch of people who scream about how people are "too PC" that just can't come out and say "ya know, i think they're icky and i don't wanna see it around me." instead they double-down by not only making themselves (and won't you think of the children!) victims that don't exist in scenarios that don't exist, they decide to paint a scenario of this opening the door to perverts, rapists, and child molesters suddenly getting free reign to turn bathrooms into a 1970s Times Square XXX theater. beyond this, the NC bill also stripped away a ton of other rights, such as workplace discrimination no longer being able to be handled in the state courts along with other non-bathroom related "legal discrimination" allowances. it was passed in a special session and signed by the governor into law in less than 8 hours...no debate, no mention of who managed to whip up this special bit of text so quickly. you kinda lose the ability to bitch about a "PC nation" when you can't even come out and own your own hatred while at the same time demonizing others in order to make yourself a potential victim in a hypothetical scenario that doesn't exist...this is lost on many of the supporters. in conclusion, go cubs.

JAMES W: Baseball America has previously rated Matt Szczur the fastest player in the Cubs system, and he was going to replace Soler in LF in the bottom of the 7th anyway, so might as well use him as a PR for Soler if the opportunity arises.

So while Soler is not a slow runner, Szczur is faster.

AZ Phil, do you have scheduling info about EXST? It's evidently hard to find, and the Twitterati are asking.

Thanks Arizona Phil. I had stepped away for an inning or two and thought he could have been hurt.

    Sure, they made generally short term trades for established players to enhance what they already had or traded for players early enough in their careers that they were essentially Cardinals from the start. What they never did was to try to use the more established players as foundational cornerstones.

    Essentially we’re saying the same thing. They have given up on player development to the point that even their prospects that make it to the bigs flop so that they have to do things like buy most of their rotation and hope for the best.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I don’t buy that. They had been doing that for years.

    They did it with Matt Holliday. They did it with John Lackey. They did it with Mark Mulder. They did it with Jason Heyward, who had a great year for them. I’m sure there’s more but those come to mind immediately.

    I attribute it more to a breakdown in what they’re doing in terms of development than a culture thing.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    They won those trades and sacrificed their culture. That’s exactly their problem.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    The other part that’s kind of crazy is they made two very high profile trades, one for Goldschmidt and one for Arenado, and they very clearly won those trades. They just haven’t been able to develop players the last handful of years the way they usually do.

    I guess the moral there is it’s hard to stay on top of your game and be good at what you do in perpetuity.

    Marmol was extended at the beginning of the year. Two years I believe.

    Craig Counsell doesn’t have a timetable for Cody Bellinger who technically has two cracked ribs on his right side. CT scan showed it today.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far. 

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!

  • crunch (view)

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.
