Throw in Vientos, Marte and Nimmo, who always seems to hit the Cubs well, and you've got fairly dangerous lineup. I like the Cubs chances against the Brewers and Giants, neither of them have anyone scary in their lineups.
-
Someone mentioned the upcoming stretch vs MIL, SFG and NYM being tough. I agree, still in MIL and SFG, you're facing lineups that pale in comparison to what we faced in LAD, AZ, SD, PHIL and TEX so, it's kind of a small break.
-
The first pitch DP pisses me off however, Skenes is up to 54 pitches, which is good, driving up the pitch count will make his exit that much sooner.
-
I'll be optimistic the Cubs will win today, Rea will keep them in the game and they'll get to the Pirates bullpen.
-
Is Juan Pierre the next player to be profiled? Who can forget the awesome one, two punch that was Pierre and Neifi? Someone had a image of the dice Dusty used to construct the lineups, I believe many or all of the sides where Neifi.
-
If Rea keeps them in the game tomorrow, they'll get to the Pirates bullpen. Man I hate when they lose to ****** ass teams like the Pirates but, that's baseball, sometimes it happens.
-
Cardinals took game one of the DBH, 6-0, don't mind. The Cardinals are not a threat, if they want to do the Cubs a favor and knock off a potential threat in the Reds. Have at it.
-
I couldn't find any 40 times, etc. however, it's my understanding that Loveland is more of field stretcher, will be a difficult cover for a LB, whereas, Warren is closer to what the Bears have in Kmet. Is this correct?
-
I believe the Cubs know Turner is cooked, give him a chance, didn't work out. He'll be a former Cub before long.
-
Given the lineups they've faced so far this season I could see the bullpen being careful trying to thread the needle. There's no need to pitch in a such a manner this series, be, aggressive go right at the Pirates, stop the horsefeathers nibbling.
-
Me too, need something out of the running game if Caleb' going to cook.
-
Ian Wheeler, he listed on the roster at the NFL' site.
-
There's hope behind an improved line they'll perform better however, at the moment, the Bears RB of room of Homer, Johnson, Swift, Wheeler and Monangai is depressing. More so when one considers how important the running game is to Ben Johnson' offense. While I'm fairly confident Caleb' going to bust out, the RB room does give me pause. As a result we may see the integration of non-RB's into the running game maybe, more than we should.
-
Ideally Taillon will be able to keep it close, I like the Cubs chances to get to the Phillies' bullpen.
-
Well, that sucks, an upgrade at kicker would be nice.
-
I'd like a kicker seemingly every other team has, FG of 50+ yards are reasonable, almost chip shots from 53-57, not the guy who has to kick a low line drive from the 34+ yard line. Ironically, regarding low line drives from distance, the Packers are in the same boat with their kicking situation. Hell, the Lions found someone from UFL why can't the Bears?
-
Does anyone know about the kicker they signed? Does he have a big leg? Would really be great if the Bears found or can find an accurate kicker with a big leg.
-
There's no rule against Swift and even Roschon Johnson being more effective with, what's on paper, an improved offensive line. I firmly believe every RB the Bears had targeted was picked just before their pick and Monangai was like plan Z, there's Ian Wheeler as well. While not ideal, something good could arise, main point is will any of these RB's be effective enough to open up the passing game? Will teams, believing Caleb cannot consistently beat them through the air, load up to stuff the run? I do not believe this year's draft was as terrible as many here believe although, that horsefeathers LB in the 4th was a complete waste, I'll give us that. The Bears should have taken another edge prospect, I'm certain they could have signed Hyppolite off the street after the draft. At the very least Poles didn't do something really stupid such as trading up for Jeanty.
-
Don’t have any hope for the pass rush and the LB in the fourth was senseless.. Do have great hope Caleb’ going to cook and the offense will light up the scoreboard.
-
Took a RB, would have preferred Sanders from South Carolina but, Monangai is about as good as could be expected in the 7th round. Nothing to prevent them from signing a bunch UDFA RB's as well, I know it's not best route to address RB. And, for it's worth, many ratings had Burden as a late first rounder, for all hand smacking, cheering, etc. that occurred when the Packers picked Golden. Burden was the higher rated prospect on many boards and mocks, think the Bears may have something.
-
It's disappointing they couldn't address RB, I believe everyone they had targeted was drafted before the Bears had a chance to pick.
-
Perhaps, given they way the draft has fallen, there’s no plan to draft a RB?
-
I guess, still would have liked a RB, reach next pick.
-
Don’t get this pick, RB was in order.
-
If they players the Bears are targeting aren't there I don't mind them trading back. Might as well get more picks and increase your chances of finding someone. Overall I believe the Bears are having a good draft, they got two potential early impact players, given this draft and the even-ness of the talent, that's not bad.
