  1. https://twitter.com/fullcounttommy/status/1704843281459241174?s=46&t=ki34hBnauy3l3Hp9nzLskw
  2. Mervis hit a ball to Indiana
  3. he killed the Lindberg Baby
  4. A dumpster fire is an understatement.
  5. Sounds like things I are getting a little testy. https://x.com/chisportupdates/status/1704525246315782544?s=46&t=ki34hBnauy3l3Hp9nzLskw
  6. Except there is not an equal chance.
  7. It's a bad gamble either way and should be a fireable offense if it happened. Which it didn't. There is no guarantee that they will be bad enough to be in the mix for whomever may be available in the next draft and it makes the team demonstrably worse in the season.
  8. Really good. He's basically going through the leagues like a hot knife to warm butter. He needs to get the innings in. That's the only thing that is stopping him.
  9. Can Canario now be one of the guys who got us here?
  10. Mervis is red horsefeathers hot in AAA and should have been called up a long time ago. I don't know what the Cubs are/aren't seeing in him, but I imagine it rhymes with dickhead boss.
  11. I think there are two divergent views here related to nature (mythical slow processor in the brain) and nurture (coaching that builds on strengths). I'm not sure that there is much in the way of nurture ability in the NFL. I know Brady sung the praise of Weiss, but Weiss was never able to translate that anywhere else, although that could be due to sloth. And we haven't seen a lot of mid-round QBs succeed in the NFL. The nature argument is probably mostly horsefeathers too. The NFL has a way of sussing that out well before the draft. I think a team has to be very careful to draft a QB that works with whatever scheme the team is using based on the HC/OC. It's not nature or nurture, it's compatibility. In the case of the Bears, when have they had the stability to do that?
  12. They are going to move Shaw around a bit and see where his glove works best, because to this point he is showing the bat to ball skills of MLB. His developmental timeline has nothing to do with BJ Murray. They are not linked. It's not a 0 sum game. If you think Murray will break in first, you are welcome to have that opinion. Denigrating Shaw or poking at his prospect status doesn't affect Murray. It's anger inducing.
  13. I think they may be trying to get there, but they can't get out of 1st gear. They have no imagination when it comes to devising an offense built around what he can do well.
  14. Life is suffering (The Boddha). The sooner we come to terms with that, the better off we all are.
  15. I like the story!!!
  16. Good diagnosis Dr. Houser.
  17. I like the Smoikes' chances tonight.
  18. or even 15 minutes.
  19. you just participated in a thread regarding this like two weeks ago. It's round and round. OCD
