Not sure why I’m watching this. Could have predicted this start.

Any way to move Mrazek at the trade deadline? I'm just not a fan.

Cubs Meeting With Japanese Ace Roki Sasaki
BigbadB replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
If the meeting takes place at the best Chicago thin crust pizza places in town, it should be an easy walk across the finish line. -
I'm old. I thought new calendar years for college started in August, or Fall to be more technical.

I agree that they will try to resign him. I don't think you trade for him with the intention of just going for it for the one year. Sometimes it makes sense to pull the wallet out and just do it, and Tucker seems like the guy to do just that. He's not going to be attempting to set a contract record, but the Cubs know he will cost more than anyone they've ever signed. They are aligned to do that and seem to be bargain shopping guys like Luzardo to stay within the parameters of what is needed to sign him long term. Put together a playoff caliber team where Tucker is having some fun, and getting that contract signed will be that much easier.

Should have said first of many. Our kids had umpteen friends named Cody. "I'm going to Cody's house" was always followed up with "which one?"
-
Welcome aboard.
-
Is the second utility guy a person or a disease?
-
Do you think they can/will be playoff caliber next year? Any big name free agents they could lure here this coming offseason?
-
It's almost an afterthought. I didn't understand that break either. Is it because ticketing/travel for attendees? And what exactly is the reason transferring players can't finish out their season with their respective teams?
-
One of my biggest issues with Campbell's aggressive style is keeping his starting QB in when the game is essentially over. I have a feeling that it's going to cost him his starting QB at some point, which will also likely end their season, since Hendon Hooker doesn't even get garbage time reps. The Tennessee, Jacksonville and Dallas games Detroit had a combined 151 points to the opponents 29 points, and Hooker has 33 snaps this season. 9 pass attempts. I was sitting there watching a complete blow out and Goff was still chucking the ball down the field as if it was a close game. Weird.

2024-25 Chicago Bulls Regular Season Thread
BigbadB replied to Outshined_One's topic in Other Sports
I'm not sure I see it that way. This might be the only window to get rid of him, and if you can you must do it. It's one of the worst contracts in the NBA. I had the game on Monday night and I'm not sure I've ever watched a more painful NBA game, and the Bulls actually won. Run down the court as fast as you can and fire up a 3, doesn't matter who it is. And make sure all 5 guys are beyond the arc so there is no one to rebound the likely miss. They were 14-51 from 3 point land this past Friday and then 14-40 on Monday. Booooring! -
I can't think of a better way to start out the day.
-
I think a lot of it is he's just hearing footsteps now, whether they are there or not. That's always bad when you distrust your line so much, you can't focus on what you are supposed to be focused on.
-
It's very telling if this team really needs to trade down to accumulate more picks. It's why Poles has to be a dead man walking. Back to the game.....I got such a chuckle at Aikman being concerned the Bears used up all of their time outs. The Bears scored 6 points in 3 and a half quarters, but they should have been conserving time outs so they could put 20 on the board in the last half of the last quarter? Then there was the stupid comment about how Poles has done a great job with the roster. Haha! I think Odunze is better than this team has allowed him to be. He's getting more separation from his defenders, and much quicker. For some reason, he isn't a primary target. He was wide open in the middle of the field where he could easily be seen by the QB, but the ball goes flying in some other direction time and time again.
-
If I used one. I'd share it. I rely on the people here that know way more about that horsefeathers than me. I don't care what sources they use. And maybe their source isn't that much different than yours. Maybe they are setting aside trade deadline cash in their calcs. It's not really something to lose sleep over.

And at least the 3rd time overall this year.

Potential Landing Spots For A Cody Bellinger Trade
BigbadB replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Once the Cubs sign all of the LHSP's, this will no longer be a problem. 😜 -
He's trying to win the most annoying poster of the week award away from Tom. I could barely get through the Winter Meetings thread where every other post was Thaw reminding us once again the Cubs will never sign Tucker to a long term contract.
-
The Vikings were fun to watch during the Purple People Eater/Tarkenton/Rashad years. The Bears, not so much. In fact, I'm not sure I would have been much more than a casual fan if it weren't for Walter Payton. I missed most of the Sayers years because I was too young and only saw the end of the Butkus years. Payton made it where I refused to miss a game.
-
Vance Law is probably in my top 10 of guys who do not look like major league baseball players.

With Warren saying he's going to be involved with the next coaching hire, you could almost gather that the writing is on the wall that Poles is as good as gone. The players didn't look like they were playing any harder for Brown last week than they were for Flus. Then, a guy like Ben Johnson comes right out and says that there would need to be some stability in upper management before he would even consider coming to Chicago. You simply can't give Poles an extension given his full body of work in Chicago, so for stability's sake he has to go if you want to go big with someone like Johnson. And it has to really bug someone like Warren to hear and feel the mocking of the entire organization, as that reflects on him, too. So you can't stay the course with Poles and hire from the second tier of head coach offerings because then really are guilty of wash, rinse, repeat. But this time you are doing it with way too good of a QB to waste his entire rookie contract trying to put the wrong puzzle pieces in place. I'm guessing the decision is already made, but the announcement won't happen until season's end.
-
Wouldn't you think that the Cubs would have to beat Boston's offer moreso than match, just because the perception of the Cubs getting the better end of a deal from their cross town rivals would be a bad look in a sea of bad looks the White Sox already have? In that case, you can't blame Jed for not wanting to put together a package better than what Breslow did.
-
I'd be happy if the the Cubs were OTA with the Bulls and Hawks. Only thing I'm not understanding is why Peoria only has one CHSN channel. Maybe another one will happen eventually. I have my antenna hooked up and I have crystal clear Hawks games now. I might want to look into some sort of DVR option where I can tape games, but not crucial since replays are plentiful.
-
Maybe we will see Thomas Brown take over as interim GM in another week or two. LOL.
