You're not going to get an answer you're probably going to want to hear from a professional athlete (not every ballplayer is McCarthy). I don't have a problem with someone who's not a public speaker being asked a question that professional public speakers like politicians can't even asnwer without sounding weak. Without knowing how they're handling privately, its hard to say one way or another, compared to some poorly crafted answer to a reporter.

One can only hope she has full custody of their son & he only has supervised visitation. Whether or not he has done something, doesn't negate his obvious potential to harm that child or his other children.

It sounds like he needs some serious therapy, his lifestyle and mental health are probably why he is struggling both at work and at home. From a baseball standpoint, that posting shouldn't lower his value from the Cubs' perspective. They know about the abuse & his lifestyle far greater than we'll ever know. We probably know about 10% of the worst things he's done (personally, I've heard some horror stories about other players from a diff. organization). As I mentioned, reading that shouldn't change their perspective on him, he was bad both on and off the field before she posted that (despite it bringing a realism to it not seen before the posting). It sounds foolish to me to all of a sudden say, just get rid of him now that that is out. If they were going to unload him for his off the field stuff, that should've happened when this 1st came out (which would've been the right thing to do).

I heaped tons of praise on the author of this thread... horsefeathers him. -

Yeah, but can he call an upcoming 0-2 slider against Dunston? Here's a tip for all you youngsters, he can't. Stoney was a wizard in my 9 year old brain. I still have a soft spot for him.

I should have added Temple and Akron to the list.
-
I'll eat crow if he becomes good but I still hope he's gone. To pile onto IMBs thoughts, the best season of his career (2016) is equal to Khalil Greene's avg. year (+94 RC).
-
They believe he is having sobriety issues again as well as him arriving late for practice.
-
Almora would be Dusty's other pet Think lower, who is Tom Goodwinesque on the roster right now?
-
I'm hoping that he could be included for a closer that is an upcoming FA on a team rebuilding (like Herrera), but I doubt he has enough value for that.
-
Another bad week for the Big 10 with home losses to Troy and BYU as well as Kansas winning big.
-
That assumes all talent levels are equal. You could make a point that '17 Dodgers were on par with '17 Cubs, I don't think you can say the same thing with the '15 Mets and the '15 Cubs but it doesn't factor sample size either. 3 years of NCLS and/or greater takes a toll. I'm a proponent of a 6 man rotation and/or various breaks/mystery trips to the DL with this team to maintain a rotation as well as more defined rest for the position players, not just some twitter gimmick to guess a lineup. No reason why they can't win 90 games with a 6 man rotation and sitting each position player a minimum of one game per week.
-
In a way, I agree. Even with the small samples of a 5/7 game series, I can't see them doing anything. Give them rest. Get another dominant reliever and backup C (starter for 40-50 games) and call it an off-season.
-
The streak will continue...

I would take the train to Union and Uber it from there. Another option would be jumping on the purple line to the red line down to Roosevelt and walking 15 minutes/uber/bus from there.
-
His awareness in the pocket is horrible right now. He's ready to scramble to his right even before the DL has gotten beyond containment. His mechanics/footwork seem fine, he might be one where one throw will be one that only a couple of greats could make and the next be one that Henry Burris could make 99 out 100 times, yet he misses.

It's pretty telling when a 2nd rounder at a non-skill position isn't starting. Massie and Long did well especially in the run blocks. Has Daniels been a bust so far? So far, yes. Kush doesn't have an all-pro resume. He bounced from roster to roster/practice squad to squad with 5 career starts in 5 years. Now, if the tape is as telling as the visual was last night and Daniels doesn't start Monday, the optics are horrible.
-
Kush got his ass kicked all night. Wanna say Long and Massie were really good. Long had the 1 penalty when he literally slipped and grabbed a guy so as to not get his QB killed. It's pretty telling when a 2nd rounder at a non-skill position isn't starting. Massie and Long did well especially in the run blocks.
-
We'll see how they do after the 1st series of scripted plays has passed. I am looking forward to Smith starting. Whitehair should not be the starting C, his snaps were overlooked last night. I'm curious to see the PFF scores because the interior OLine had a rough night against a solid GB core.
-
Hard to stop Rodgers on a 3 step drop without some blitzing You blitz to block passing lanes when he's getting rid of it so quickly. Blitzing to push pressure on Rodgers on a 3 step drop just exposes a secondary having a horrible game.
-
Worst Bears game probably since the SB, worst than the NFC championship game. Mitch was bad, poor reads, poor accuracy. Obviously, Nagy had a horrible game. Where were the RPOs and where did Cohen go? Fangio dialing up blitzes when GB goes to a 3 step drop is beyond explanation.

For the 1st time in 31 years, UK has beaten the Gators.
