Title: The Cubs Will Win The NL Central In 2024
By: Purely Baseball
don’t forget about the michael busch trade, as a dodgers fan I’m expecting him to have a breakout year!
Minor move, not newsworthy.
Completely agree! I’m super high on Busch too!
@@TheBattersBoxBaseball he is a small piece, not a game changer.
This guy video had about 15 errors lol
@@coreycokepolk9483yea its minor now, but he has some serious power. he’s likely going to see a lot of time at 1B, his natural position.
This aged well.
@@cristianteran9367 😂 let me formally retract this statement
Schwarber wasnt traded, they let him walk. And Stroman left on his own, shockingly I'll add. Love the video!
Good for the cubbies they get their big bat and number 4 hitter back. Would have been a huge whole in that lineup wihout him.
The NL Central is gonna be the most unpredictable division this year, I think all except the Pirates are gonna be within reach of the division. Right now I’d guess Cubs at 86 wins, Brewers at 84 (just narrowly missing WC), Cardinals 81, Reds 79, and Pirates 70.
I think the brewers aren’t good without Craig Counsell
Lmao how do the reds get worse
Pirates at 70 is funny just wait
Swap brewers and reds imo
I got the cub’s winning 90 games they have a better manager Ross blew a lot of game’s with his questionable managing cubs should of made the postseason last year
Boy did this age like milk
Seems like the beginning of “the mercenary” era. I see a team winning the World Series with a lot of 1-2 year deals with opt outs.
You forgot about Michael Busch. We had Mancini, Hosmer, Wisdom, etc all playing over half of the year at first. Huge upgrade most likely.
Hoyer didn't trade Schwarber, the Cubs non-tendered him--releasing him for nothing in return.
Completely forgot he was a National afterwards lol. Thats my bad
Great video, the Central is gonna be unpredictable. Didnt Stroman opt out though? It was a player option and he didnt take it.
Dang you deserve more subscribers I really like your content
Thanks man! I really appreciate it
The background music is why I don’t subscribe plus he has 12,000 people that’s a lot considering baseball is dying. No one cares about baseball anymore.
Define 'no one'. @@GoShwkk
Totally agree
hes new. theyll come. nothing great happens over night
Brewers may not have the pitching but their hitting will be solid and keep them in many games. Also still probably have the best prospect in baseball 👍👍👍👍👍
As of rewatching this---the Cubs are 18-11 and in first. The Cardinals are in last. Cubs fans have hope again.
That is a wild intro lmaooo
My Dodgers are gonna shatter dreams this year, you heard it here first! 😊
REDS.
I’m gonna predict the cubs will be around 10-15 games above 500 by the end of the year. They should get to the playoffs but no way will they win the World Series by any means.
Well the Dbacks scraped into the playoffs and went to the world series, why not the cubs? You never truly know what's gonna happen in the playoffs. But you're right, on paper they'd never make it.
@@3liWard What the diamondbacks did was a historical thing to see. It’s VERY rare for that to happen. The diamondbacks had no business being in the World Series, they got obliterated by the Rangers.
Still wild Contreras and Shwarber walked for nothing
And stroman
In the case of Contreras and the compensatory draft pick they got in return, I'd say in an unforeseen way they have benefitted greatly from letting him leave. As a fan of the rival Cardinals, I wish the Cubs had committed to Contreras to keep StL from making the boneheaded move of picking him up. That ill-advised contract has really hamstrung the Cardinals for the next 4 years. The Cubs should be glad that Wilson ended up with StL and gummed up the works. Don't get me wrong, I think Wilson seems like a decent guy and passionate player, but he's only blocking better players in the catcher and DH spot.
@@giantfactory yeah true, his brother would have made a much better option.
“Bellinger is still 28 years old, he’s not even in his 30s” thanks for informing me 😂😂😂 good vid tho bud
If they do, its gonna be in a tiebreaker
The Brewers are never picked to win it, but usually do.
FACTS
They won because of Craig Consell.... He is now in Chicago ;)
@@lukasarmborst5887 hahaha.. well done
@@lukasarmborst5887how is this prediction holding up for you now?
It was an 108 year curse where they didn’t win, not 86
Bostons was 86. 1918, 2004.
@@PurelyBaseballYT oh wait I missed the part where you were talking about Theo Epstein being bostons GM my bad
@@alexm.6533 all good!
Correct me if im wrong but wasnt happ in tbe minors in 16 and debuted in 17?
Yessir that would be correct. The Happ segment was more so just highlighting that Theo drafted him
Keep doubting the Reds man! I know I sound like I'm lying, but I just met Hunter Greene, Andrew Abbott, Nick Lodolo, Graham Ashcraft, and Encarnacion-Strand here at Luke AFB, Arizona yesterday and those boys are HUNGRY to win. GO REDS!!!!
I 100 percent wouldn’t be shocked if the Reds won the division. Great team
I don't think many people are doubting them... everyone seems to assume all those young guys will click and excel and not thinking anything different about it. Cubs had better pitching last season but it's the Cubs pitching who is questionable now, Reds pitching will go from bad to dominant just like that, apparently...
The Reds are NL Central division favourites over the Cubs
reds rotation is hot ass, not good enough to win a division, wild card if lucky
@@n6ahslostthey are simply postseason favorites.
Reds have the most pitching in the division
@@jonneace54 thats literally not true, there bullpen is okay but their rotation is made up of starters that either had 4.50 or so ERAs last year and they're all projected to do so too, the pirates prolly have the only worse rotation in the central
Getting Bellinger sealed the division.
Meanwhile my bucs keep back stepping. Its like the fuhrer of the team is allergic to success. So much potential last season going into this season and in my opinion, were worse than last year.
I would go reds
Every time the reds get hyped up they end up finishing at the bottom
Cubs will win the division in 2024
I think we'll win the division but I prefer we get Jordan Monty over Matt Chapman. I rather have Morel grow into the position at third and get a fair shot. anything to buy time for Matt Shaw.
Better get both
NL Central is always a toss up. I do think the Reds will surprise everyone.
I could definitely see it. Fun team
this aged... poorly.
No doubt.
Almost the entire division has really just been MID
@@PurelyBaseballYT we’re living in an alternate universe.
@@PurelyBaseballYTthe cubs were on track to win it until the middle of way when everything just went down hill we went from 24-17 to 37-42
Hey ! If they get hot in July and... just kidding.we at least need 2 bats and a better bullpen. Come trade deadline every Cubs available, 2 years in a row of not knowing what kind of team you got at the trade deadline is not a good look
@@PurelyBaseballYT that’s not true
happ wasnt apart of the world series
I didn’t say he was. The entire point of that, was to highlight the talent he brought into that organization
@@PurelyBaseballYT lmao ok kid you had about 15 errors with false info
Matt chapman doesnt make the most sense. We dont even have room for Bellinger and almost everyone on the 40 man has some value. Cubs want morel to play 3rd, bench is already crowded. I heard rumors of a trade.
If the cubs sign Chapman i expect Madrigal and Mastrobouni to be shipped.
madrigal and mastrobuoni should be shipped anyway
@@keijif1267 honestly bouni should've been shipped last season
I don’t know man i think cubs would probably be third pirates second and reds first
whatever you're smoking you should lay off it.
@@andrewnordlie we gotten better since last year with a 76 win team. And with Cruz coming back i think we a sleeping and reds they have players of course
cardinals will win it imo they just need average pitchinh their offense is stacked
I wont rule them out, thats certain
Iminaga
Lol, no way
LOL yeah they definitely aren't! And I live across the street from Wrigley and a die hard Cubs fan
The thing is the competition is so weak
@@PurelyBaseballYT Brother I agree. I'm looking at the stadium as we speak and can tell you the cubs will NOT win the Divison..they will as always find a way to lose it. We will battle for 3rd place. Cardinals and Brewers have our number and alot of people are counting out Pirates. They shouldn't and hurts me to say it
@@PoppaBearandBabyBear.-be5jzwe still have a shot man. Not much happened with Brewers this offseason other than signing Bryce Harper (which is a big move don’t get me wrong). Ya gotta remember we did improve our bullpen this offseason (which is why we sucked the end of last season) and we got a better manager. Not to mention, we got Shota Imanaga who looks hella promising and our prospects are starting to look better. Obviously what you say still isn’t out of equation especially when the Reds are looking promising now
@@vaishx Wait maybe I'm nuts LOL did Brewers just sign Byrce Harper!?!? I had no idea. I thought he was on the Phillies and at one point he was eying Cubbies due to Kris Bryant. Think they were on same team in Vegas
@@PoppaBearandBabyBear.-be5jz - Currently the Cardinals have nobodies number...
belli going back to the cubs doesnt improve their chance much at all. winning a weak division isnt impressive nor impressing anyone
To be fair, I never said it was impressive
touché @@PurelyBaseballYT
Of course it does. He led the team further than expected last year. While it may not lead us to a World Series (as much as I want it to), we still seem like a solid team with our current prospects, new manager, and Bellinger being signed back. If anything the only thing I worry is how the rest of the division will be considering the Brewers got Bryce Harper and the Reds look more promising
I think the pirates win the central
Just go player for player, pitching staff, lineup, Defense. I freaking dare you to not choose the reds. If the pitching staff wasn't decimated with injuries last year, the reds could have won 90+. Now that the pitching staff and everyone healthy, it's time to do some serious damage. Also, how could you say they havent done enough? They signed over 7 guys lol. And what exactly does the cubs have that puts them over the reds? Oh wait thats right, a pitcher with no mlb exp, and belli that has a shoulder that could snap at any moment. hmmm.But hey, from a reds fan to a cub fan, the cardinals start thier season against the dodgers😂😂
hahahahaha no shot!!!! 4th place
lol nice troll
Cubs no better than 3rd place.
You really still saying that after what the cubs did in the last half of the season in 2023? They beat teams like the Braves, Rays, Mariners, brewers and orioles. You are severely underestimating them. They will most likely be 10-15 games above 500. They did a complete turnaround the last half of the season.
People said that until we actually beat good teams like the Braves and Orioles. Heck, Reds were 2nd in the division half the season and we managed to climb and surpass them
Overrated. They got a manager and they signed a guy they had last year. BFD.
If only the only team ahead of them last season traded their ace, has another key starter out all season, has their all star closer out half the season, always has an offense you don't have to worry about and lost their manager to the 2nd place team.
Cmon man, the pirates can win
Wildcard appearance is definitely possible. NL Central winners? Thats another story
This is the year the buccos shock the world
Ok Joe 😂
Well given how much the Brewers will tank and old geezers at the AARP Stadium in Misery, they only got the Reds to fight out second place. Could be a wild spot maybe.
@@PurelyBaseballYTsee Mt bucs are going to be worse. We have a really good crop if talent in our system. The curve is projected to win the eastern division in double a and the Indians are improving as well. But we're letting solid vets go and we need players that are willing to pass the torch to some of these younger guys. We don't have to be good, we just need to clinch a wild card spot.
Usually this channel makes good videos. Stroman to Imanaga is a downgrade, (NPB watcher, speaks int. Japanese). Bellinger is a re-sign. Maybe Neris is an improvement, but they basically maintained the status quo for next year and said run it back with a lesser rotation.
You discount the fact that we could see another step up from Steele, Taillon played a lot worse than he usually does (and he’s developing a new pitch to add to his arsenal). I don’t see how Imanaga’s native language has any affect on his quality as a pitcher.
On the offensive side, you got Morel and Seiya expected to take another step forward, PCA should be up soon (and PCA >>> Mervis, Mancini, Hosmer from last year). Dansby underperformed his usual production, so we could see a bounce back. Of course, none of this is guaranteed but context definitely matters. It isn’t so simple as “well, we have the same players so it’ll be the same result”
@rejci9965 and in addition we don't even have all of the same players, we have some very good prospects ready to come up. also something I don't see anyone mentioning is that we don't have a stupid manager anymore
Ian Happ sucks….
👎
Id say if the cardinals continue to suck, then the brew crew is the cubs only real concern
don’t sleep on the reds. They got crazy upside with that young core
