    lol, every one and their sister’s boyfriend have the same feeling.

    We have to see him fail. He hasn’t yet. It’s easy to say he needs to do X when he’s not doing that. But he hasn’t need to do anything different because he’s destroying the baseball. He doesn’t need to be more patient. He doesn’t need to walk more. He needs to keep doing what he’s doing until it doesn’t work. When that happens we will see what type of player he is. However, on the other side of the ball he needs to shore up his arm and fielding. I expect that will happen at some point this year because we don’t likely live in the Matrix made for Matt Shaw.

    Of course you would

    I think before he breaks into the majors he has to show or be let to go longer in a game. I know it’s a six inning game for a lot of starters these days but I’d love to see the Cubs let him throw close to 100 pitches in a game

    90th percentile, Jeff Kent?

    I would say there are no favorites right now. But if there were, it would be the Cardinals.

    In this assessment of the coaching staff's tendency is your answer to what they think about Fields. Doing the "safe" things means they don't have the confidence to let him do the unsafe things. If they did, they would let him. I think it's less about winning and more about what they think he can and cannot do. From what I saw (I only watched the first half), Fields showed that he can do some of the things everyone wants him to do, but he's not consistent enough at them to be successful. I think this falls squarely on coaching. Kyle is binary in his assessments and that's what makes people upset. It's either awful or great. Fields is neither, he's inconsistent.

    Gotta find a way to get the ball in the end zone there. Terrible play calling or execution

    A microcosm of da Bears season on that drive
  11. CubinNY
    Fields doing a better job of getting the ball out.

    I think Ohtani is daming up the market. All the big spenders are waiting to see what happens.
  13. CubinNY
    According to BN and a tweet by the MLB network. Now that is a rumor I can get excited about. I have no idea what it would take to get him, but If I'm Jed, I'm asking.
  14. CubinNY
    At this point is he considered a starting pitcher?
  15. CubinNY
    I'd just as soon pass on Glasnow, really. You can't pitch from the IL, and at some point that is where he's going to be.

    NFL Week 12

    CubinNY replied to Soul's topic in Other Sports

    Did you read the Greenberg article in The Athletic? Skip past the Harbuargh part. https://theathletic.com/5076332/2023/11/20/chicago-bears-nfl-draft-harbaugh-harrison/

    I really wanted the Cubs to draft Cam Collier instead of Horton in the 2022 draft. last year Collier K'd 106 times in 111 games in low A ball. Granted he was just 19, but that is not good. He did walk 57 times. I'm going to follow him, but safe to say, right now, I'm glad they drafted Horton.

    If Iowa, Alabama, Louisville, Oregon, and OK state all upset chaos will reign. would it be: Oregon, Alabama, OSU, and ???? Georgia/Michigan/FSU
  19. CubinNY
    If he can't play in the infield, can he Ian Happ his way to a position in LF? He's quick enough to handle the OF. I get the caveats about patience, but in college he walked more than he struck out. I'm looking forward to seeing how he adjusts once teams "get the book" (trademark, Dusty Baker, 2004) on him. Besides Horton, I'm most looking forward to seeing how he progresses.
  20. CubinNY
    I don't think Flaherty is with them.
  21. CubinNY
    They're kind of like a late model Mercedes Benz with 89,000 miles. You're hoping that nothing breaks, but as long as it holds together you have a nice automobile.

    If the Cubs target this guy, I hope they get a second, third, and maybe fourth opinion on his shoulder health.
  23. CubinNY
    I love this guy and kudos to the Cubs for drafting him. I remember his interview where he said, "he can't wait to get started and fail with the best of them". Well, he hasn't exactly failed yet. I'd love to see if he can play 3rd based on obvious need. But if he can't he makes a great trade target or makes Nico expendable. I'm looking forward to seeing him when he comes to Montgomery this Spring/Summer.

    The Cardinals do have a type.
  25. CubinNY
    I f Alabama beats Georgia, I think they have a strong case to be in, objectively. There is no transitive property scenario. Georgia is the #1 team and has been all year. The stakes of the game also matter. They will be the SEC champions. they will have the Big10 champ (if. Michigan wins), the Pac10 champ Washington, and the SEC champ. If FSU wins they will have the ACC champ. That’s how this is supposed to work. people can bitch and moan, but that is a reality and the way it should be even with the SEC being down. Hell, all conference football is down. OSU, and the rest of them can cry about it.
