No argument there, did you happen see the clip? It's just so pathetic most especially against GB.
-
I didn't see it, Acuna Jr. does the same sort of horsefeathers, I say, instead of plucking him. You throw that horsefeathers right back in his face with a HR celebration.
-
All we can do is wait until the next match up with GB but, man, some of the BS I'm seeing about the Packers' greatness because of one game vs. a very bad back up QB is outrageous. Nonsense about the Packers knowing what the Bears were going to do, etc. all of it was a result, of them, rightly so, not respecting Bagent.
-
Sure, behind the Cubs but, they didn't give 200+ HR's, I'm certain they'd be were the Cubs are without their extraordinary pitching.
-
All this BS about Ben being out coached, yadda, yadda, yadda boils down to the wrong choice at QB and sticking too long with said wrong QB. If Caleb can't go vs. Atlanta I'd expect Keenum to go.
-
The secret sauce is the pitching, it's the most important aspect and they've been great. Couple their line up with the Cubs staff and don't even sniff the playoffs. All the other things everyone talks up about them only work because their pitching keeps the opponents off the scoreboard. Wouldn't mean jack horsefeathers if their staff gave up 200+ HR's.
-
Did I see something about the All-22 for Bagent being terrible? Receivers continuously open but, missed, bad passes, etc.? Not surprising, for most offenses competency at QB is kind of a requirement.
-
I don't know if it's good idea, him pitching over an extended period boils down to a question of not if his arm will start to bother him, it's a question of when.
-
If I'm the Dodgers I'd have a serious conversation with Ohtani about giving up pitching. The shell we're seeing now had it's genesis with pitching related injuries.
-
Ashby and Uribe are human, have to think all the work is going to take a toll, right?
-
I stand by my prediction of Megill blowing a save, may not happen tonight. It’s in queue.
-
Don’t think a Ruiz HR is going to rescue the Dodgers this year. Tanner Scott in this early is an act of desperation.
-
Dodgers are toast, they’re old and hurt.
-
Think it's pretty obvious the season was over after the first week. Highlight is going to be the 2027 draft.
-
Is sending Byram down an option? Don't know how this works for hockey. Found the answer - No - Waiver Eligibility: At 25 years old and with over 300 games of NHL experience, Byram cannot simply be assigned to the minor leagues without clearing NHL waivers. If the Blackhawks were to place him on waivers,

Wow, Odunze literally knocking the ball out of his hand with his knee might be one of grossest displays of incompetence I've ever seen from a Bears player in all my years of being a fan. His number of snaps and targets needs to start going down, I think they will. One good thing Odunze is making it pretty obvious he's not worth a second contract from the Bears.
-
I think OSU's defense is pedestrian by their standards, the Illini rolled up big yards on them 460+ and only scored 19 points because they couldn't get out of their way. Wouldn't expect Indiana to be as mistake prone. On the other hand Indiana won't have the benefit of playing against an incompetent QB, Sayin is actually good. Unlike the Huskers' QB who, despite some nice scrambles, is a substandard passer.
-
Do you believe he'll looking for the big payday in both years and dollars? If so, is he worth it?
-
Issues on offense are no deeper than having a really bad QB, they'll disappear once competence is restored at QB. Defensively, the biggest issue is Johnson can't move, don't know if there's a fix, think finding a way to get him off the field could help.
-
Even down 21-7 they tried to be too cute, running laterally is to Packers' benefit. Should have kept running at them, in time, they would have caved in, hopefully, come Christmas we won't see any lateral runs.
-
I suspect the Brewers were surprised by his performance as well, I do not think he was plan A for them. It just happens they had to go with him and he had - surprise - a big year, a career year at the most convenient time. He's probably not a 3+ WAR player going forward, he's probably more a replacement level player. Wouldn't he be looking for a long term big payday? If so, the Brewers won't give to him, don't believe Cubs should either.
-
With Caleb' impending return the offense will fine, it'll be lethal, not worried about that side of the ball. Defense is the big concern, since Johnson is incapable of covering anyone and Stevenson isn't much better what can they do? Gordon' return may help, you're still left with liabilities in Johnson and Stevenson, could a trade be in workings? A trade and bringing in some guys off the street?
-
Just some dude would be an improvement. He's no where 100% and it's showing. I know they won 100 games, can't shake the feeling age their age is beginning to show and it's nearing the end for them.
-
Yes it is, I was under the impression he could get through the progressions, make the correct reads, he can't. That was some Justin Fields-Mitch Trubisky horsefeathers we saw today. Missing open check downs, not seeing defenders, all the same garbage.
-
If Gordon comes back could that get Johnson off the field? Maybe, move Muhammed? Getting Johnson to bench as quick as possible is addition by subtraction.
