  1. My bold prediction is that the Cubs finish a few games over .500, Nico cements himself as the best hitter on the team. Not bold, but this team is built to be mediocre while they wait and see what percolates on the farm. I suppose a bold prediction would be that they are a lot worse or better than mediocre. I don't think Happ is going to be as good as last year, but Bellinger will be better. Swanson is going to have a difficult start to the year, but at the end, he'll be right around his career norms, maybe +6 HRs.
  2. They have a glaring need on both sides of the LOS. Kind of a no-brainer here.
  3. Alcantara is taking MLB at-bats in September.
  4. I’m just happy we don’t have to worry if the Michael Hermosillo’s of the baseball world are making the team. At least they have a major league roster of 26 players.
  5. Seriously, if Stroud is there (he won't be), the Bears still have to draft the best OL/DL player on their draft board at 9. Don't give me any [expletive] about value. There will be multiple players in the draft at OL/DL who will have plenty enough value to justify picking them at 9. They have the 9th pick and then drop all the way down to 53 for the next pick. It would be malpractice.
  6. It should be a multiple value judgment, BBA + current needs. You could have a player at the spot you are picking who is clearly the best player on your draft board, but he isn't the best fit for the current needs of the team. In a perfect scenario, you would be able to trade the pick and get some extra value and get the player who at that pick, is the BPA and meets needs. That perfect scenario doesn't exist in the NFL draft due to other teams' needs and values. I want them to draft the best player available that meets the current needs of the team. A wide receiver who is BPA is great, but it doesn't appear to fit the needs of the Bears. So you overdraft a guy who might be available at some later pick that you don't have, what is the problem?
  7. will it have the same address? I have it bookmarked.
  8. Howard will be in AAA by the end of the season.
  9. They'll be able to see it from the moon.
  10. I was going to call Tim a jinx, but you said it better.
  11. Given their needs, it should surprise no one when he drafts an OL or DL. If he doesn't, he's too smart to be a GM in the NFL.
  12. Let’s go Schwarber.
  13. The catcher’s gear for Japan looks like it’s from 1973.
  14. Time for a come back
  15. That Japanese dude crushed that ball.
  16. I wish the Cubs had a better owner.
  17. Nothing against Japan, but this game would be way more fun if the we’re playing PR or DR. Turner!
  18. I was kind of on the fence about the pitch clock but after watching a few of the games, I’m pro- pitch clock in a big way.
  19. How in the hell did Lars Nootbar wind up on team Japan?
  20. I made a thread
  21. 58 commercials in a row and still waiting for the game to start.
  22. Let’s go USA, USA, USA!
  23. Should we have a game thread for this?
