Did I say Soderstrom is better than Tucker? I said they are comparable this year. This year’s PCA is better than this year’s Trout.

Willie May is a hall of famer and legend. Tucker is a good player but he is nowhere close to Walker, Beltran, and Berkman. Is he even better than Kyle Stowers this year?
You are comparing Walker‘s entire career stats to Tucker’s stats in his prime. Let’s see how Tucker does in his mid to late 30’s. Do you think Tucker will be a hall of famer like Walker or future hall of famer Beltran when he is done playing?
This the main difference between the Cubs and Brewers.
At the beginning of the season, we'd think "no big deal, we can come back from four down"....now, we can't even score. We look defeated, and frankly, uninterested. Hard to watch.
Has he even produced an MVP-caliber season yet? You’re comparing Tucker to a Hall of Famer and a future Hall of Famer—an even more absurd comparison than putting Soderstrom in the same conversation as Tucker.
At a minimum McGuire's a better PH than Berti has shown. But could be they bring Amaya back slowly and he sees as much time at DH as catcher over the next 7 to 10 days.
But in the end, if Amaya settles in nicely at catcher, then I think McGuire is gone. There has to be some sense of urgency by the Cubs front office. So I don't feel like they can wait until September call-up to slow play Caissie, Alcantara, Ballesteros or Long. If the hitting woes continue, they need to bring up one of the prospects.
What I don't understand is the FO signing a guy like Nicky Lopez. It's a minor league deal, but he had a minor league deal with the Yankees. Could be he sees a clearer path to the majors with the Cubs. But I don't see it with adding Castro. Unless the Cubs sold him as being injury insurance vs. the Yankees just promised him minor league at bats.
Why is Busch leading off? He's got a 33 perc k rate since the break, he's not a lead off hitter. If we aren't going to bat Nico lead off every game they need to get a lead off hitter for next year. This is rediculous having Busch up there hacking away.
Didn’t someone on this board said the Brewers are feasting on bad teams and pitchers?
At this point, if you’re of the belief that the Cubs will still compete to be in the playoffs at all, that’s all that matters. The division race is over.
