It's all Cubs, right?

Fowler
Rizzo
Bryant
Zobrist
Russel

I'm a Cub fan and I even find this crazy.

So, it's the royals from last year.

 

[Frozenprince]

Corey Seager isn't even in the top 5.

Royals at least won something.

Russell is the only one that doesn't deserve it. Not sure what the problem with the others is.

Rizzo isn't better than Goldy, Bryant isn't better than Arenado, Zobrist isn't better than Murphy.

Heyward is 3rd in OF voting, Jorge Soler is 6th.

It's a joke.

I think Fowler and Rizzo deserves to start. Bryant and maybe Zobrist backup. Russell, Heyward, Soler not even considered.

 

[gamz]

No mystery. Chicago is a major market and the Cubs team as a whole are so likable and good.

It's popularity contest

 

[zulux21]

You guys have a real shot at Gio Gonzales tommorrow. He has been rotten his last 2 starts.




e d i t: Papelbon, Solis for Andrew Miller

it's more likely that facing the white sox will fix him, just like it might has done to matt harvey

It's this awesome David Ross voting video that's doing this. http://m.cubs.mlb.com/chc/video/v791336283/?affiliateId=clubMEGAMENU

We need to build the alliance stronger.

I can't stomach a Red Sox/Cubs WS.

Barf. So Cubs Nation is starting to think like Red Sox Nation believing the whole world loves them.

Looking at the AS voting they do! THEY REALLY DO!!!!!

 

[Parch]

draft day guys and gals.

Just not the same hoopla as the other sports.

San Diego, St. Louis, and Dodgers with 3 picks in the first round.
San Francisco, KC, and Cubs with no picks in the first round.
Cubs have no pick in the second round as well. They don't pick until 98th.

There isn't any hype for the MLB draft. I even forgot it was today.

Why would there be? It's the baseball draft.

So pessimistic.

NHL Draft is a big deal in Canada.

MLB Draft comes and goes without much fanfare.

it's only been recent since they start showing the draft on TV. Takes time to build up.

 

[The Elite]

With hockey you also have the prospect of these guys showing up in the NHL day one. With the MLB you kind of forget about someone in the system unless you pay close attention.

The NHL draft can help turn some teams around.

 

[Parch]

MLB draft rarely provides that immediate impact player like NHL, NBA, and NFL. Baseball players usually take considerably longer to develop into stars. That also means the MLB draft is a pretty big crap shoot. High school picks are always a gamble.

thats personally my favorite part.

Finding that one player in round 13 that into pujols. going into the NBA and NFL draft you already know who the good players are, there is no fun in that.

Yeah, but you don't find out that is the case until 5 years later, which makes the draft incredibly unappealing on the actual night.

i know. but i enjoy watching them develop.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

If you guys haven't seen the ASG voting.

My god.

I know, how is Molina leading at catcher? You'd think Cubs fans would all back Posey to keep the Cards out!

 

[Silver Arrows]

Will you be accepting membership to the council right away? We accept all members, even Canadians.

To the Evil Empire? Do I get even a taste of power?

 

[MultiJhonny]

Something I have noticed this season is how few Thursday games there are, each week. I don't remember this being the case in the past and was mainly Mondays that were the days where the fewest amount of teams played.

Yeah, it's really weird. Looking at the skid tonight, what's also interesting is that they are putting more four game sets on Monday or Tuesday now.

More fun facts about the skid:

The Brewers have played all of their Interleague Home Games. The Yankees, A's, Orioles, Cardinals, Rockies, and Cubs have not played any yet.

 

[BFIB]

MLB draft. I feel like the Cards already won since we weren't forced to forfeit our picks. Thanks FBI!

 

[Chris R]

Man Tai was so good tonight. That's what we need to see. Looks like our pitching is starting to turn it around after last week.

Let's hope Tai puts his bad May behind him and we see more of what he had back in April.

But who will the gods sacrifice to keep you guys in the playoff hunt?!?!?

That's a pretty good team super villain. A fair number of them have already been punched in the face. MLB needs to prioritize the rest to ensure they all get one.
