  1. I forgot he pitched in the org.
  2. Change to 3 step drop backs.
  3. Plausible deniability - that's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it works out.
  4. what good is a 9 inch vertical change or 12 inch horizontal tilt if neither of them are able to be thrown for strikes? We saw it with Steele, they just started laying off and running his pitch counts up. Movement and deception are great attributes, as is velocity, but none of it matters if the guys can't throw strikes. These kids didn't make it to draft day unless they were able to throw strikes at some point in their career. Except for Jackson Wiggins
  5. If this is a sportsmanship thing, and they did it, they must own up to it. In this case, as in most cases, the cover-up is worse than the crime. Harbaugh should admit it and take the lumps. If he denies and they have evidence (don't know how other than scanning the faces in the crowd), he should never coach another college football game. Not for doing it, but for attempting to cover it up.
  6. He said they don't work on control in the lab. Not the same thing. Also, if you don't think that's a problem I don't know what to tell you. Command is a repeatable motion that is consistent and reliable.
  7. Ok, someone explain to me how even if Michigan did this it's somehow against the rules? I mean that's why they have multiple people on the sidelines signalling plays. If a team can figure it out, that's on the guys on the other side of the ball. Use runners if you don't want your signs stolen. This is fundamentally different than having a guy with binoculars calling pitches or even tapping into game conversations from the other team. They've had spotters in press boxes in football for forever.
  8. I think the Bears are going to three yards and a cloud of dust game plan to victory. The defense is playing better and the Raiders offense is offensive. This could be a 10-3 game.
  9. There is no work to show. It's a mechanical problem that can be corrected. Before you go all ape, yes, there is a wide dispersion of ability in terms of accuracy, just as there is with velocity. But the limits of the body determine velocity, not accuracy. What determines accuracy is body mechanics, which is teachable. Some guys are going to learn to harness the natural movement of the ball to throw strikes better than others, but it's teachable, just like grip and pitch "shape".
  10. Command is extremely teachable. It's something they do not focus on in the pitch lab, from what I've been told by others. This would seem to be born out by results.
  11. The Bears are a toxic stew of bad coaching and lack of talent. I mean when even in preseason practice, people are watching and going, "Oh boy this is not good" there is a big problem. Then they come out and nothing is fixed. One of those dudes said Fields left 200 yards on the field by poor decisions. I don't know if I buy all of it, but he again demonstrated he's not a capable QB and there is little hope he will become one.
  12. I thought this was old news. I actually thought he already took the job.
  13. Bears are going to win this game just to muck it all up a little more.
  14. That horsefeathers video is awsome.

    rationalization is not a pretty color.
  16. You know whoever the Bears draft will be the wrong one. It doesn't matter.
  17. He can ask for anything he wants. He's not going to get it. He can play in the XFL.
  18. That would be great. Take responsibility and remove the owner from the equation.
  19. I agree. I don't think Poles wants to admit failure and I think the McCasky family won't fire him.
  20. so what? They already have one trip to the WS and are on the door for another. There are no trophies for who spends money the most efficiently.
  21. Those long levers mean some strong opposite-field power. He's a keeper. I don't care what anyone says.
  22. My guess is that regardless of the outcome of the season they retain Eberflus. They are such a dumpster fire, and that might be an understatement. At least they don't have to fire the DC because they don't have one.
  23. Tommy Boy loves him some Jed. Every time Jed speaks it's like PTR's hand is up his ass controlling what he says.
