  1. I'm no draft expert and a casual fan of football, and I know the Bears need some high-impact talent, but it seems weird to me that they may take a tight end when it's not a position of need like DL/OL/DE.
  2. The Cubs are "stacking good days" (TM) on the farm
  3. Mervis has a record of needing a lot of reps to get acclimated. I would not be a bit surprised if he has a long career like Matt Stairs.
  4. Also, because he's going to break. It might as well be on a MLB mound.
  5. That's what I want, a bully, Jake Arrietta style on the mound (not off).
  6. I'm not into rankings of things, but Jed and his team are a C- on an A-F scale. It seems to me that they have done everything they've wanted to do, their way. My biggest criticism is that Jed is too risk-averse, and it shows in everything they do. They draft guys who project to be good, not great (Happ, Shaw, Nico, Wicks, even Howard). They sign FAs who are good, not great. And when they do sign a potential difference maker, they hedge their bets with short-term contracts and opt-outs. And they don't spend on a volatile commodity like bullpen pitchers. They are happy to be an 80ish win team. That seems to be the goal, and they are there.
  7. PCA is on his way to becoming a special player.
  8. I just know that somehow the Cubs are going to come out of this stretch is a great position, and then find away to lose a bunch of games to ****** teams and we are going to be like, WTF?
  9. Yes, you are morally corrupt. Take a good look at the mirror and reconsider your life choices.
  10. I'm going to post this link to my Facebook page. Outstanding.
  11. I don't think Shildt is that great of a manager. It's hard to believe they had Bochy and fired him.
  12. This might be the most unpopular opinion I've ever read.
  13. I’m on the MLB app on my phone trying to listen to Pat and Ron and I have the TV feed. Anyone else?
  14. He’s hit at every level up to this one. There is no reason whatsoever that he can’t hit at the major league level given time. Instead of looking at his set up and load look at his body at contact. It’s sound.
  15. I fell asleep listening to the games with my ear buds. They were up and Jamo was cruising. I woke up in the 8th and all was lost.
  16. There are a lot of variables at work, obviously, but it seems hard to overstate how different this lineup is now that Tucker is on the team. He's like a force multiplier.
  17. I was on a video call with someone who lives in San Diego when it happend.
  18. It's time to move up the timeline on some of the AAA pitchers. What they should not do is panic.
