    I'm not so sure that's true. Based on everything being reported, Warren straight up ignored the advice of the consultants he hired and the Bears didn't have anyone in Springfield trying to get votes for whatever proposal they were going to need passed for the funding to happen. You dump Warren, listen to the consultants and get in front of the people you need votes from, and things might change quite a bit.

    Are we getting to the point that sending him to Iowa soon and thinking about him as the legit backup next year is a possibility?

    Just because everyone is doing it doesn't mean it's the right move. I'm no expert, but there's a lot of stuff you can see in person you can't on video or in data. Does the player get along with teammates? Did they lose their horsefeathers in the dugout? Did they take some coaching they got the right way or did they pout about it?

    Disagree. I think that would actually help them save some face by completely throwing him under the bus. There's enough out there in the media to make the case that he led them down this path and they disagreed with it all along and now they've had enough.

    Illinois won't give them the handouts they want. And they absolutely shouldn't.

    Yep. If they were serious the AH land would already be on the market. There are entirely too many unknowns about Hammond for anyone to actually take them seriously at this point. The millions (billions?) they're costing themselves by continuing to delay construction because of the incompetence is inexcusable too. This stadium is going to cost $3 billion by the time they get around to building it instead of the $500-750 million it would have cost if they started 2 years ago like they should have.

    Send Nico to the IL and a sensory deprivation chamber, IL Bregman for his toe, send Mo to Iowa and put Shaw at 3B, Pedro at 2B, and let Conforto and Alcantara DH while those guys aren't in the lineup. If Bregman's bat speed really is gone, this is going to be quite the sunk cost to deal with for the next 4.5 seasons.

    Have you listened to the Loveable Reunion podcast at all? Just based on that, I'd strongly disagree with this notion. They don't even need to be a redass, but guys like Lackey, Ross, and Lester were all willing and able to put a boot in someone's ass if they weren't toeing the line every day.
  9. mul21
    Do you actually believe this? The guy has been a successful MLB manager for 10 years and played with some of the biggest names in the game. Thinking he wouldn't call someone out is just wild.
  10. mul21
    It wouldn't surprise me. Too many nice guys. You need an horsefeathers or two (looking at you Rossy) to keep everyone accountable and this team doesn't have any of those guys.

    This team is playing terrible baseball right now but if you actually think this, I'm not even sure what to say to you.
  12. mul21
    Man, what absolutely atrocious luck they're having right now.
  13. mul21
    Incompetence can certainly make you appear to be all those things.
  14. mul21
    Yeah, that's the part that really gives me pause. Getting clearance to build on that site from an environmental perspective and taking on the risk of exposing millions of people to whatever might be buried there over the next 30-40 years just feels like a huge stretch.

    The Walker thing is unfortunately a lot more believable than the pitching holding up. He was a top prospect for a reason and them jacking around with his swing really messed him up for a while.

  17. mul21
    That feels right. From most to least competitive I'd probably go 1. 98 Utah 2. 97 Utah 3. 93 Suns 4. 92 Portland 5. 96 Seattle 6. 91 LA

    That fly ball last night is probably the best argument out there for the team error. It absolutely wasn't an error on PCA and it's a shame Shota gets tagged with another HR and the earned runs when the ball that was hit should have been turned into an out. That's a rule change I could 100% get behind.
  19. mul21
    Well, I was going to say Joe Ryan, but it looks like his elbow is trying to fall off so scratch that. Sanzatela doesn't miss enough bats for my taste. I guess that leaves me at Reid Detmers if the Angels make him available. Seems like a guy who could use some of the Cubs pitch lab creativity and he's not a free agent until after 2028.
  20. mul21
    Is there anything here with this guy? Looks like he was a minor league FA signing last year after some time on a summer league team. I couldn't find anything on a pitch mix or velocity in a quick search.
  21. mul21
    Sounds a little like Nico where he has a great hit tool and needs to make better swing decisions so he's swinging at pitches he can hit hard and not just because he can hit them?
  22. mul21
    Bernstein absolutely torched Warren on his podcast yesterday and deservedly so. He's completely horsefeathered this whole thing up and as Dan says, he's basically been running a con that's come to a head and there's nothing to do now but get rid of him. The fact that he didn't listen to all the consultants he hired and hasn't been in Springfield to manage this and try to get votes is inexcusable and the peak of incompetence.
  23. mul21
    Nobody is saying they ignored symptoms, they're saying he's been bad since he got beaned and there might be underlying stuff that's causing problems resulting in the slump. The Yankees didn't ignore symptoms per se, but Rizzo certainly could have used an IL stint to get right and based on the numbers, it's hard to argue that's not the case with Nico.

    Just had one with 80s MJ and 00s Kobe and everything else was so bad the record was 58-24.

    I've had that a couple times now. Woof is right.
