Locked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More

#Cubs #ChicagoCubs
Because of this show, I just randomly blurt out "Ummm" and "that's a bad take" during my everyday routine.😂
Phillies fan here,you two in my opinion have the best "locked on" in baseball.
Must be nice to be a phillies fan
@@RDR1Dutch0003 Not all that nice knowing that we have a manager that can't manage a pitching staff,he'll blow it in the playoffs making the wrong moves again.
The lack of AAA call ups is disappointing to say the least? What happened to September baseball? It used to be fun
Hate to say it but modern rules, changes to the game and more “strategy” tactics that to me, I like the history and simplicity of understanding the game! Idk I hate it!
It takes a couple of years or longer before the prospects are good. Not just coming up, but good enough to make a difference like PCA. Some of us have waited a long time just to finally live long enough to see 2016!
PCA could of made a difference from the jump. And I’d argue 2 things about PCA.
1. His development isn’t a product of the Cubs system/coaching. It’s simply a talented player figuring things out on his own.
2. To build further on that point. PCA OBP is incredibly low compared to his batting avg. A player of his
caliber/skillset that doesn’t walk and posts an OBP that fails to hit
50 points higher than his batting average, is mind blowing.
The 1 guy in the entire Cubs organization that you would want to develop a high OBP?????
IS PCA.
And yet somehow, PCA has the worst
AVG TO OBP on the entire roster.
I mean …. It’s so sad it’s almost comical.
Prospects be damned. it's time to spend some money
Prospects could fail
I love Tauch! Always shows up in my opinion! 👏 I posted this on Twitter & some guy told me he sucks 💀
He does
What happened to the Theo era? Ricketts wanted the first championship to raise prices and upgrade Wrigleyville. After that, 85 wins was ok. Plus, Theo wanted a winner and a winning culture. I have not seen that Ricketts and Hoyer want a regular contender.
Ricketts doesn’t know ball
I know Theo came through with a World Series title, of which I am grateful, but he kinda left things in disarray, that is not talked about much.
Ricketts went to the Jerry Reinsdorf school of ownership. Just do enough to win 82 games.
theo spent all of his capital on creating his legacy of ending two curses. He left the minor leagues in SHAMBLES. He traded way every big chip asset they had left. In other words he went ALL IN for 2016, and gave two shits about the long term health of their minor leagues after he left.
@@Teremei Theo was overrated. Andy Mcphail from the east coast
We should have been playing some of our stars from the farm system. Why in the world are we still playing Wisdom, to cite only 1 example? Wheres Cassie and Shaw? This is infuriating because we need to give them some playing time to adjust to the major leagues.
Funny when you think of the Phillies and Schwarber Castallanos Harper and Turner . Two of those guys we could have kept and the other two were available but Hoyer never made a play for either one and you can throw Realmuto in there too . Thanks Jed !
And Harper was openly lobbying to be a Cub and Turner was linked to the Cubs until the FO found out the price tag was gonna be $300M+
Need to call out Bellinger. He was the bat that was being paid to be difference maker. 18 home runs?
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 lemme hear ya, GOOD AND LOUD
Exactly
Schwarber was a layup. At least Jed could have gotten something for him 😢🤮
Looked as if Sam was about to dose off on set. Somebody should have gotten Sam some antihistamine cream for his mosquito bites as well a few boxes of Mike Ike’s and some Ian Happ coffee to keep him awake.
He really did look like he was about to pass out. Haha
He’s still trying to figure out why the upstart bears aren’t taking the league by storm.
Paredes has to go. I'm down with Shaw playing 3rd, unless Vladdy Jr. wants to play there.
"Paredes has to go" ignorant comment. I don't think you understand how baseball and development works my guy
How about Hawkins and Hoyer being replace by Counsell and find a new manager? That would show some seriousness to fixing the problem. The Cubs/Phillies series shows how far the Cubs must go. Time to purge the current Cubs' bench players.
Matt Chapman 6.9 WAR
Cubs third base WAR -1.1
Josh Hader saves 33/37
Cubs saves 23/44
These 2 brothers were sitting on the trade market for months. We would be in the playoffs if we got them at the price of a 12 percent surcharge.
Agreed. There's HAS TO BE accountability!!!
Chapman is garbage. Rather have isaac all day. I agree on hader, Probably should have signed him before the season he started. We need to go get tanner scott and another top bullpen guy
@@RDR1Dutch0003 ummm
Hader was the guy I really wanted
We might not finish over .500 based on what I saw tonight. Scary bad! A little change isn't going to make us contenders in '25. Wake up Hoyer!
Kilian was tipping pitches big time last night. Lots of people noticed it.
Actually Sam I thinks Schmidt had 9 thousand Homer's against the Cubs. LMAO
Random thought, seems like PCA has cooled off at the plate the past week. Been a lot of 3 or 4 pitch strikeouts the past few games.
An as far as bench players the only guy that's worth bringing back is Tauchman. Madrigal, Wisdom and Mastro can go so.
Doesn't matter we're eliminated
Dude tauchman suuuuucks dude🙄 it's time for him to go I can think of ten up and coming free agent outfielders that are better than him.
@@RDR1Dutch0003 lets get rid of Wisdom first. He's useless.
Counsell isn't a Madrigal guy - his career is done w/ the cubs
@@gamernorcal Wisdom has to go
I like the idea of moving Craig Counsell to the front office.
Just in a position where he doesn’t ever have to speak. Put a big stack of papers in front of him
@wvtaco4379 Are you kidding us ? That's the goofiest idea these guys have ever come up with . What experience does he have with scouting or player evaluation or financial dealings with contract negotiations . Hasn't the Hoyer era been torture enough ?
When Jed was hired, no cub fan thought they'd win anything. He was a guy who got coffee for Theo.
I’m tired of the cubs not deciding what they are gonna do. Are they gonna compete or will they do another rebuild? The Cubs are in the exact same place they were last year.
Why are you gonna rebuild when we won eighty games?😂
Neither. Be the bubble bulls. Good enough to pack the UC while staying under the luxury tax for maximum revenue. Cubs=Bulls.
@@chicagodude8888good comparison
Jed a disciple of Theo? He must’ve been sleeping in the back room. He needs to go the day after the season is over.
I was pissed before the season even started when they came back from the winter meetings with only one FA ...
And was infuriated when he pulled "Immy" after 7 no-hit innings ... this was extremely peculiar and I question their motives ...
Tauchman stays, I think everybody agrees, as your 4th outfielder and late-inning PH option. Mastrabouni gone, Madrigal, long gone; Wisdom has been bad but he needs to play more to keep his timing. Let him earn a spot in ST. Also, I’m not convinced that Bethancourt can’t share time Amaya rather than going with another retread. That also leaves you room to insert Ballesteros at some point next summer.
Hoyer set counsell up with some of the best starting pitching in baseball. That clown don't know how ta handle a staff. I see why Milwaukee never won anything, this guy held em back
Jed was the same way in San Diego, and that was after being with the Red Sox when Theo ran things. Why think he would be different? Even with a larger payroll, he is bargain shopping.
Correct on Wisdom
Large Market Teams looking to make a step up do not waste 3 40 Man spots on Mastro, Madrigal or Wisdom . Vazquez , Shaw , Caissie take those 3 spots .
Killan is tipping his pitches.
Anything below!!
Anything below 😂
Gavin Hollowell?
Isn't he still stranded on Gilligan's island?
I would be surprised if Hoyer gets fired this offseason, I think Ricketts lets him finish his contract and if the Cubs don’t make the playoffs next year then it will be goodbye.
Next yr no more excuses
You gotta remember that Wisdom and Mastro are toast. If people were not "tradeable" this team would have 100 wins. This team would HAVE 100 wins had they not blown 25 saves or so. Cody was hurt. The team has sucked with runners on. But starting pitching has been good, even with all the injuries. The bullpen has been good too. They just can't lock it down in the 9th. There is no way you trade Nico and Busch. They play defense and hit. Granted Nico has been weak in the dinger area, but he has 30 doubles and 40 steals and a gold glove. In theory you could get rid ot the 3rd baseman but he is cheap and under control and has 20 dingers and plays good defense. Shaw is a guy you have on the roster and move him around and get him some ABs and ease him into the bigs, along with adding an arm for the 8th or 9th a nd getting one more good pitcher. They are literally super close. I think we keep both catchers, that position is set. You do NOT bring in the Panda for 300 million. That's saying he is 250 million dollars better than Busch. No he ain't. He's slow, not good on the bag, and hits .240. Yes, 35 dingers is nice. Or 40. But a big lumbering strike out king who can't catch? I think not. Panda at 1st and Shaw at 2nd weakens the team defense. Cody and Michael are way better defensively and Nico is better than Shaw. What did Dansby say? Nico has a stronger arm than him. Nope, we need a closer and a pitcher. Happ, Cody, PCA, Tauchman and Suzuki are your 5 outfielders. Again, with all the blown saves, this team is already at 105 wins. You cannot spend 200 or 300 million on the Mets 1b. There is a reason the Mets are not signing him to 300 million. He can't run or catch. He's not an athlete. He's a big dude who hits dingers. So did Greg Luzinski.
Craig Counsell does know jed hoyer is real problem for cubs need to fire jed hoyer right now please
Adding one player to this team won't do it. An elite pitcher, a legitimate closer, an impact bat, and a good third baseman. So that's a lot of money that needs to be spent after the season is over. Ricketts won't spend that much. So 2025 is going to be another 2024.
Things I wonder: if Jed stays, what’s his plan for winning without simply saying our farm system? If not Jed, then who? Does this mean be ready for a rebuild?
Sam, Teoscar drives in runs...
Dopamine Sam
The game has passed Jed by, good luck with that
HELLO from Philippines Chicago born 79 yr old retiree miss Chicago Maybe next year Manager noT good too many mistakes
Jed can make a lot of things right by signing Juan Soto
Maybe it’s the coaching staff?
It's not. But I bet that'll be who they blame. Hoyer is a Made Man over at Casa de la Ricketts.
Only 64 mosquito bites? Lucky.
Hire Dombrowski!
I just want the Cubs to get better how they do it i dont know....Devine intervention
?
Hot seat? Fire him. No question. Do NOT let him ruin another offseason.
Sam take some Benedryl
What's up fellas....a long and a very dissapointing season!!! Michael Richard from the "BESTBANK" of New Orleans....WHO DAT!!!!!
Counsell has no fire. No passion. Unless he is a completely different guy in the locker room I’m not seeing his value.
He is so depressing, why did they replace Ross? At least it was fun with him
Anybody but Ross. What's wrong with Joe maddon being on the bench to help out Craig? Give them one more year, please.
Really? a Ross bashing after this debacle?
Why not get Santander to play 3rd and move Paredes to the super utility. Maybe trade Hoerner and move Busch to 2nd too.
The Cubs need a good 40 percent turnover of the roster from 2024 to 2025. That's down from 60 percent at the start of July. So basically, 2 out of every 5 pitchers and position players need to be cut loose. That means they'll have to eat a lot of bad money.
Nico hoerner , Ian Haap ,Cody Bellinger , Isaac Peredes should be traded while Ithey still have value and finally start this rebuild and go young with Matt Shaw at third , James Triantos at second , Kevin Alcantara in left , and Owen Cassie in right and making Seiyo Suzuki are dh and 4th outfielder and hopefully get some help with relief pitching and younger prospects for those 4 guys we need to trade to make room
The Cubs have a lot of OF prospects, Happ should be traded, his value will never be any higher, when I look at the Cubs line up, if this was an NBA team, it would be filled with guys that can score 13-18ppg, no game changers or aircraft carriers, just a team that has to play mistake free baseball in all phases
So if you want Jed fired and replaced, who would you hire?
Kim Ng
Steve Stone😊
@@nenecastillo7497😅😅😅😅 funny joke
This team is headed to another rebuild
Yeah, not a great week for Jed, including Schwarber sticking it in our face and all the rest of the bad past moves, including Hosmer and Mancini.
Theo left Hoyer behind to sabotage the Cubs.
No. Theo left cause he didn't wanna be part of a mediocre product.
@@joshuasteward6097that he created.
We want to be playing baseball in October, that's it that's all!!!! With hoyer around it will not happen 👎👎
😲😳😂😂
Hoyer is a total & complete BS artist!
He is the Cubs biggest problem! He has to be fired! He talks about “player control” the “farm system” this player & that player WAR! But he never talks about the team’s record! The lack of a superstar! He’s never able to sign the superstar! He signs the guy who’s a faint copy of the superstar!
Cubs fans watch!
Cubs fans go to games!
Cubs fans buy gear!
Cubs fan care!
But from our garbage GM & Team president (joke) we get Boush not Soto! We get Paredas not Bergman or Chapman!🤬
We also forced to listen to the BS’er Hoyer talk about team control & analytics!🤮
FIRE HOYER & HAWKINS
I'll give it to Cubs fans. The Marlins won TWO titles in less than 30 years, and their fans howled endlessly about "competitiveness." Cubs win every 150 years, yet continue to believe. Is that delusion or laudable loyalty?
Anybody can win it all just not the Astros it's kinda though being a Cubs fan down here in Houston let's go Philly
Yeah , let's pick up bums othere teams let go , over pay them , and play them . Cubs are horrible 😫. Making a highly paid manager play losers. Dfa d players from other teams , jeds eyes light up. I really like the Phillies, cus there's old cub players on there that jed let go. You let your predesseor guys go. I'd let these guys in triple a go, to trade.. your not playing anyone good. Nice to see losers play , like masterboner, wisdom, lmfao. Council did say we're playing big league teams, meaning cubs are not a big league team. Goal is 90 wins plus. Jed needs a reality check and be let go. Swanson and bellinger are gonna get older. It's over. I'm not waiting another 4 years. Cus I'm no longer a cub fan . Go Phillies. Like Brad Pitts movie where his secretary says " Dombroski is on line 2"".. there's a winner dave dombroski...
Jed should be fired as soon as the season is over he did a shit job with this roster the only thing that he did right was get rid of the big 3 from the world series team
PCA ? He didn’t get him right? Shota? He didn’t get him right? Busch? He didn’t get him right? Taillon ? Bad signing?
He restocked the farm system. Everyone I heard thought signing Counsell was a gutsy, brilliant move.
He deserves credit for those moves.
There are several things I believe he needs to do to take steps toward winning the division.
1) make room for at least Matt Shaw or Owen Caissie…preferably both. (Trade at least 2 of Happ, Suzuki or Hoerner or Paredes)
2) Sign a Lesteresque #1 starter.
3) Acquire a legitimate closer.
If he doesn’t accomplish most of the above, he’s probably done.
@@joecasey1329 why are they out of the playoffs for the do believe the 5th yr they have some nice players name a position player that you would pay to see I thought so the bullpen is garbage the catching needs to be upgraded if your satisfied with 82 win team that's fine as far as the farm system we won't know if they aren't up here I don't know about you but I know this team wasn't good enough some of those kids should have got a look
@@georgemartigani2214 I know…you invented baseball.
@@joecasey1329 I've been a Cub fan since the early 70s no I'm not an expert just a fan with and opinion you sound like some of the fans that go to the ballpark now as long as the sun is shining an the beer is cold it's ok
@@georgemartigani2214 that’s because you’re not too bright. I’ve been watching the Cubs since the late 60s. The difference between me and you is I have actually learned the game through playing, coaching and managing baseball leagues. I’m not a fanatic who buys all the talk radio level garbage you apparently do. I have the ability to think for myself. I have zero respect for clowns who regurgitate the nonsense spewed on sports talk radio. I call balls and strikes. I don’t make clownish calls for firing GMs without considering everything he’s done. You’re an empty headed parrot who has the nerve to condescend to someone else based upon meathead comments you hear and emoting like a schoolgirl.
We all know there is less than a week left in the season, but there must be some way to shed $900K and get under the salary cap?
Hoyer set counsell up with some of the best starting pitching in baseball. That clown don't know how ta handle a staff. I see why Milwaukee never won anything, this guy held em back
Jed’s safe. He’s probably got 2 years left if things don’t change. Jed’s got a load of prospects about to hit the majors.
That they refuse to give any chances to.
Get real pal , that farm system ain't what you think it is .
@@MichaelBoldygathere are always some top prospects that don't translate to the majors.
At least a few of Shaw, Caissie, Alcantara, Canario, Ballesteros, Triantos will turn out to be good pros. Cam Smith is the real deal, as well.
The problem is Jed and company won't make room by getting rid of the 1) mediocre guys ahead of them (Happ, Hoerner, Tauchman) and 2) awful bench scrubs (Wisdom, Mastrobuoni, Madrigal).
@TheLearningCatalystCoach There are no sure things when it comes to prospects. Don't count your chickens before they hatch . Other than Alcantara none of those guys have taken a big league at bat and Alcatara didn't look to be MLB ready .
If Jed comes back, 2025 is another lost season.
How big is the Phillies payroll? Probably very large
Need to bring back Theo Epstein big-time
Houer needs to go now not after 2025
He needs to go horrible president of operations
Hey you shorted us by 2:47 , could have asked another trivia question in that time , I prided myself on answering Sandberg on the rookie steals question lol have a good night guys !
