Interesting with all this metrics in play the philosophy of the error. Definite tweaks needed. Plays where a routine fly is missed and no glove on it is a hit is off. However the error really seems to be for the benefit of pitcher ERA. I'd almost give DDJ an error each time a guy goes first to 3rd on him
(Joke but not really)........ conversely though he gets to balls others don't get to. I get that

Thought was interesting article. Don't have all the answers Hopefully it all evens out

Starting to wonder if this is the swan song.

At least we don't have to carry him over during rule 5... Might give him a better chance to stick. Just hate to have Choo and Beltre both on roster keeping guys from 2019 playing time. Maybe we move Choo. Might be last chance

I am kind of in the same mindset as you. I love Beltre and would love for him to have a farewell tour. But we are in a rebuild and we need to go full throttle on it. Would love to retain him as one of our coaches though.

Delino has been around long enough to know if he's the man to fill the starting job so why is Drew or someone else not playing. :scratch:

International Reviews: Chicago Cubs 2018

Dominican outfielder Alexander Ovalles, a 17-year-old who got $300,000 in July, is one of the better hitters the Cubs signed last year. Ovalles is a 6-foot, 180-pound lefty who has hit well against live pitching, spreading line drives to all fields with gap power. Ovalles has high overall game awareness and his instincts are evident in the way he plays center field. Ovalles is an average runner, so there’s some risk he may end up in a corner, but his defensive instincts are advanced enough to give him a chance to stick in center.

If Adam is underwhelmed it must be underwhelming indeed.

I can't wait to see what this kid does next year in either Hickory or Down East.

Ballpark has sparse attendance. I predict a foul ball or such makes its way into my daughters hands

Through 4 innings Palumbo is having a very good start. 4 baserunners and 7 strikeouts with no runs.

I had to go to a Rangers game at Camden Yards before I finally got a foul ball about 5 years ago. Thanks to David Murphy.
