@CubsZone It’s because normally when the Cubs make a trade it’s out of desperation

[James D'Apice II @jamesdapice]

@ScoringChanges The issue I had was the tag before he hit the base actually interfered with his ability to grab the base, and then the continued tag forced his arm off of the base.

[James D'Apice II @jamesdapice]

@Brett_A_Taylor I agree, but the bigger question is why does he get caught stealing so often? He’s so fast, has great instincts, and typically gets a good jump. It doesn’t make any sense.

[James D'Apice II @jamesdapice]

@CubsWorld80 I don’t get it? If your weak spot is bullpen arms, why do the Cubs put themselves in the position of having to use 4-6 pitchers every game? SPs can go more than 5-6, rested bullpen arms can pitch more than one inning.

I see this and think this is a guy who is scrambling because he forgot to get his dad a present.

"Thought it'd be a good Father's Day present."

Miles Russell got the OK from the U.S. Open's Rules Committee, then brought in his dad to caddie for the final hole of his first U.S. Open.

The 17-year-old made par to complete an even-par 70 at Shinnecock Hills.

10/10 Father's Day for Miles and Joe Russell ❤️

You know, if the course is called Shinnecock, and you’re airing coverage on Peacock, you can’t throw the commentary to a guy named Bones. #usopen #golf

[James D'Apice II @jamesdapice]

@BleacherNation If you know your bullpen is a weak link, you probably shouldn’t game plan to pitch 4-5 relievers every game.

[James D'Apice II @jamesdapice]

@Big_Hoss98 @Michael_Cerami 23 games, 9 ABs. It’s clear Counsell doesn’t want to play him and he’s out of options, so they either waste a bench bat on him or they’ll have to trade/ DFA him.

[James D'Apice II @jamesdapice]

@Big_Hoss98 @Michael_Cerami Four games, 1 AB. It’s going to get to the point where something will have to happen bc Counsell has not given him a chance the last three years.

[James D'Apice II @jamesdapice]

@TheWrigleyWire @SirRandyD More importantly he hit the ball where it was thrown, not trying to yank the ball with a high exit velocity. Situational hitting!!!!

[James D'Apice II @jamesdapice]

@Brett_A_Taylor @obvious_shirts I’m old enough to live through watching the 80s-90s teams. They were bad but they were still fun and played hard. Im sure this team is trying hard, but they are the flattest team I can remember. They make the September 2018 team look down right exciting.

[James D'Apice II @jamesdapice]

@windell_11 @jacobzanolla Agreed. But the issue with Ross and Counsell have been poor bullpen management. There is a reason both have had bullpens consistently break down, and why both were poor in one run games. And there is no correlation to pitch count and injury in adults.

[James D'Apice II @jamesdapice]

@DEvanAltman This was known before the Cubs traded for him, and why the trade made no sense considering Wrigley has the deepest corners in MLB. Those HRs in Tampa or Houston are fly outs at Wrigley.

[James D'Apice II @jamesdapice]

@ThienemanSZN Pitchers are coached to maximize their stuff, they don’t learn how to pitch.

[James D'Apice II @jamesdapice]

@CubsCreator Player? He gets to play?

[James D'Apice II @jamesdapice]

@davekeating77 @MikeGrinnell_ And isn’t Solder Field built on an old landfill? I think I remember that from when they renovated Soldier Field, why is why they couldn’t dig down too far and why the current stadium structure sits so much higher than the protected pillars.

[James D'Apice II @jamesdapice]

Finally went 82-0. NGL, I’ve had much better teams than this but prime Wilt is gonna Wilt. https://t.co/KRoZYdSqYH #NBA #82and0

@baseballisdead_ SPs are allowed to go more than 6?
