I think we may get a notable name but not much more unless money is no object. Cole is off the table and Rendon is a long shot because most everyone will want him.

 

[DT LUNA]

Poor Hinch! Every decision he makes from now on will be questioned. Really don't blame him for not bringing in Cole in the 7th. With little rest Cole may have blown it too and the world would have said, you had a rested closer and why did you not use him? Can never please everyone but it made me happy for @Nightcrawler LOLLLLLOLLLLL

Maybe the sign stealing and the tipoffs coming to a halt had a big enough impact to make a difference.

Another reason why I favor our 2011 hitters slightly over this Astros bunch.

 

[DT LUNA]

Houston has done what NY and LAD had done for years. They over spent to try and buy a WS. Can't really say why they lost to Nat's because the players were there. But it happens. Was glad to see some of the older Nat's players got a chance to get a ring. Not long before, Cabrera was just a fill in for Texas and suddenly got a ring. Glad to see that.

""I wasn't going to pitch him [Cole] unless we were going to win the World Series and have a lead," Hinch said. "He was going to help us win. He was available, and I felt it was a game that he was going to come in had we tied it or taken the lead."'

The idea that certain pitchers can only come into a game with a tie or a lead has always been a strange idea to me.

Gerrit Cole wears Boras Corp hat, distances himself from Astros moments after World Series loss

There are several pitchers on the 40 that they can do without if they need roster space.

Oh well.

 

[DT LUNA]

Oh well.

I think it is best for him and us.

104 days until pitchers and catchers report.

Very well could be best for the Cubs.

until then.....

thanks for keeping us updated here. I will be around more this offseason. I’m expecting some interesting activity this time.

the last 2 or 3 I knew would be very dull so I disappeared for months at a time.

Stick around. The off season can be fun.

Not really interested in him coming back.
