       Another error for Morel.  I don't know the details.

       Imanaga gave up another HR.  Also K'd 5 in 3 innings.  It is to
       be expected that there will be a period of adjustment for him
       (to the MLB strike zone among other things).  I have high hopes
       that he is going to prove to be an excellent acquisition.

       Counsell should be happy, that's what he said he was rooting
       for.
       Counsell had 18.8 dWAR in his career and played almost 400 games
       at 3B, so I trust his judgment on whether this can work.

       Man, Cooper is a big, big guy and hits big home runs.  He’s
       always hit lefties pretty hard - you have to wonder whether he
       has the inside track over Wisdom for that bench/DH role,
       especially if the Cubs have decided Wisdom is just unplayable at
       3B.

       Cooper runs like a cement truck with flat tires.

       Dusty Baker would say, "That boy clogs the bases!"

       really pick it, but he just does not appear to have the arm
       strength necessary to play 3B (but then he doesn't have the arm
       strength necessary to play SS, either). So 2B will very likely
       be his eventual landing spot, which means if Shaw is the hitter
       he appears to be (elite AVG/OBP/SLG), Nico Hoerner will probably
       be traded sometime before his contract expires post-2026
       (possibly even by this time next year).

       He thew out a guy from foul territory just a few days ago…
       looked like enough arm strength to me?? I don’t remember who the
       batter was… maybe he was just really slow?

       That throw bounced just past the mound, looked like.

       Madrigal doesn’t make that play, though, and a bounce just past
       the mound may be about release point rather than poor arm
       strength.
       AZPhil obviously is an infinitely better judge of these things
       than me, but I’m still surprised.
