  1. lol, what happens when you two dorks never make it to your goal? This bet could go on until AI finally takes over.
  2. I think I'd like to see Arias on the 40-man, but if they view him as a relief pitcher long-term, then no. Give him one more season as a starter.
  3. Perfect use of the Seinfeld reference
  4. You. —- moving on. Alabama appears to have found their QB. But I’m not so sure he can run them to a National title. For a few weeks I thought FSU was the best team besides Michigan, but a mediocre Miami gave them fits. They can be passed on. Washington was also pretty good. I still think Washington, FSU, and Michigan are the three best teams, but it is pretty wide open. Alabama, Georgia, and OSU are below them.
  5. Sounds like his agent is using the press to negotiate.
  6. The difference in the game is that PSU is a second tier team. Michigan could have beat them any number of ways. They chose to bludgeon them to death.
  7. PSU QB is awful.
  8. Michigan is going to inside handoff their way to a field goal
  9. Don’t be homer, love the school, hate the sin.
  10. They are going to destroy PSU. It won’t matter if he’s on the sidelines or not.
  11. Guys the Cubs could/should move to fill holes (they have value) Canario, Triantos, Vazquez, Murray, Mervis, McGeary, Franklin, Rivera, C. Franklin Guys I'd be reluctant to trade but would in the right deal Wicks, Brown, Caissie, Ballistaros Guys I really want to hang on to Rojas, PCA, Horton, Shaw, Alcantara, Grey Guys who we like but have little trade value Hernandez, K Franklin, Davis, Killian
  12. Brian Dopirak had incredible EVs, now he's a charter boat captain. Just saying.
  13. I don't think that is true at all. Right now PCA is a glove-first type of player that we all hope learns to tone down his hyper-aggressive approach to maximize his bat-to-ball skills. He's not Baez but as close to Baez as we've had since. He doesn't have as much power and is less likely to make swing decisions before the pitcher releases the ball. I don't think they will consider trading him for Soto, but that doesn't mean there aren't things that PCA needs to work on.
  14. don't give up hope!
  15. They just play Jason Heyward $25 million to go fishing for half a season. There is a lot they can do..
  16. You can’t talk your way out of this one.
  17. Lol. They are only allowed to have 8 position players on the team now?
  18. Alcantara/Horton is your main dish. PCA is dessert.
  19. The things that Ross did less well speak to deficiencies in his critical thinking process. The things he did well are strong indicators of a good leader but are less about the mechanical part of managing. He wasn't an awful manager, but the things he did less well cost him a handful of winnable games. The things he was good at are less able to be quantified. Jed and Tommy Boy obviously think Counsell is better.
  20. When Counsell continues to throw the corps of Eric Hosmer to play every day or even at all, I’ll be the first to criticize him.
  21. I get what you are saying and largely agree, but there is really real and there is what we are willing to pay. Getting Counsell is a big shock to my system and a re-evaluation set point for me. Before I would bet heavily that they are really going to make an offer, but it will be well short of what he actually wants or gets. Now, I don't know.
  22. BN has some great ones too. https://www.bleachernation.com/cubs/2023/11/07/brewers-fans-craig-counsell/
  23. I don't think you will have much to worry about in the Fields being good department. Also, Eberflus seems to find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, so I think they are a safe bet to be in the top five. If they fall in love with a QB would they trade up from 5?
