Cubs lose, starter they acquired at the deadline went 2 IP, five relievers have to cover 7 IP.

More isn't always better.

Believe he’ll hit Arby before 2028 then free agency before 2031.

If I understand:

• Priester pitched exactly 50.0 IP in 2023
• Baseball Reference claims Priester's rookie limits were exceeded during 2024, so perhaps it needs to exceed 50 IP
• Priester pitched 49.2 IP in 2024
• Priester was rostered for at least 46 days in 2024 (excluding September), versus the 45 day limit.  Could have been an extra day or three if he wasn't called up/sent down on the first or last days he pitched.  So this must be what removed rookie status.  Possibly by a very narrow margin as well, though.

So definitely we'll beyond rookie limits. This is season 2 for him

Unless he gets optioned next season, he's probably going to be Super 2. Arb 1 in 2027 and FA in 2031.

We may have left our bats in D.C. It's up to Trevor. Let's gooo!

I think they left behind the Nats batting practice pitchers.

Not often that you see a team win a game with just one hit that left the infield.
