Bears Week 4: vs Jets Sunday at noon on Fox
gflore34 replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
Bears tripping over their own dicks is why the Jets are in this game. -
I do have faith Megill is going to blow a save or two this post season. He can be had.
-
I'm thinking that would have been 2 run HR, not so sure because it was such a moon shot.
-
Might it be permissible to have one GB/pitch to contact guy in the rotation as opposed to one comprised solely of theses types?
-
I'd be willing to re-up on Holmes, nothing long term. As many here are, I'm not convinced Rojas is a given all star. Same moaning and groaning we heard about Cam Smith - take a look at his statistics - in a word, bad, and, that's being kind.
-
But to talk of PCA, who, by the way is 24, assuredly regressing and somehow Turang, who, is 26, auto-magically not being a candidate for regression is total BS. Also believe we'll see some positive regression from Hoerner, Swanson and, to a lesser extent, Busch.
-
It's baseball, it happens, I don't care how "great" the Brewers organization is, it won't continue ad infinitum. And the Cubs bombing on nearly every move won't be a constant.
-
I get the talk of regression from some of the Cubs however, the Brewers are immune to regression? Yes, they're a quality organization, blah, blah, blah, they also had an awful of lot things go right for them. Turang had the best year of his career, as did Bauers and Mitchell maybe, their truly this good. But, to assume from regression from PCA and Bregman who, from the start, are better than Bauers and Mitchell. And none from the Brewers is more of the Cubs defeatism BS, such a load of nonsense. It's baseball, players regress, yes even if their wearing Brewers' uniforms.
-
I really hope I'm wrong as well. Time will tell and I'll be glad to eat a big helping of crow.😅
-
It's got to be SP and bullpen, it's the biggest difference between the Cubs and the Brewers. Postion-wise, defense, they've got nothing on the Cubs, it's all about the pitching, the whole staff. He did mention counting on some guys who got hurt. I hope, after this season, he learned to never count on guys with extensive injury histories. Steele, Horton, Wiggins, Brown you've got start with the assumption you'll get nothing from them. Basically as if they don't exist, most especially Steele and Horton. I don't believe either will ever throw another meaningful pitch for the Cubs.
-
Jed said a lot of things, which honestly, I don't put any stock in, it's the actions he, the organization, takes which will speak to their direction.
-
Thanks. Really like the analysis. Don't remember, did you coach or play or are still playing? I play with a fellow in my old man lacrosse during the summer, who has essentially played hockey all of his life and keeps on going.
-
I've seen mentions of Wiggins as an option for 2028, why can't he be a possible bullpen option for 2027? Provided, of course, he's healthy. Wiggins I view through the same lens as Horton. Guys who can't stay healthy and may never be serious contributors. Nevertheless, should Wiggins' health prevail, why not a bullpen option?
-
Maybe you can answer this jersey cubs fan - why are, currently, none of the young players improving. In fact, I know it's a very small sample, they appear to be regressing. It's not as if they're completely devoid of talent, many of them were very good amateurs, some even dominating. Yet, as Blackhawks, they're completely pathetic, there's nothing good to point at, it's very discouraging when there's not the slightest glimmer at the end of the tunnel.
-
Don't know, he appears to be a platoon candidate, that's what the Cubs did towards the end of the season. Do platoon bats get multi-year contracts?
-
Bowen Byram and the Blackhawks are awful. Fixed.
-
2025 the Cubs took steps to lessen Busch' exposure to LHP, think that needs to be the approach going forward. Platoon at 1B.

Alec Bohm has pretty good numbers vs. LHP although, he still might consider himself to be a full time player.

Without question, deserves a lot credit.
-
Braves going with a bullpen game tonight? Ray Kerr, 32 year old LHP who hadn't pitch at all in 2025? In an elimination game, seriously?
-
Stuff wise Cabrera' there, execution, etc. not so much. Think it was against the Brewers, game, thanks to him, was out of hand, he got pissed, focused and struck out Contreras. Not only struck him out but, threw absolutely filthy un-hittable pitches. Jason mentioned another occasion, facing the Braves, same circumstances, game out of hand, got pissed and decided to execute. Might have been Acuna Jr. who was the victim that time. It's in there somewhere have to find a way to bring it out.
-
Him and Cabrera both, the stuff is there, very few guys with better stuff then them. Now, the execution, well, that's an entirely different matter.
-
Given it's not arm related, Brown is the best shot, I know it's an unusual injury nevertheless, there may be a shot. It'd be a mistake to include Steele/Horton in any future plans, Wiggins - oft injured he's trending towards a Horton/Steele outcome in that it'd be a mistake to include him in any future plans.
