    I think this really has to be a major consideration when evaluating the job he's done. The payroll has been as high as it has for guys who are maxing out at 3-4 WAR because he's had to pay market prices for a big portion of that WAR because there were almost no minor leaguers contributing cheaply from the legacy Theo years. You literally have Happ, Nico, Amaya and Assad as MLB contributors leftover from the Theo era.

    This was much less a stumble by Roschon than it was a blocking mistake by the LG/C combo. Jenkins waves the C by him instead of blocking the guy right in front of him and tries to get further down field for another block. If he actually blocks that guy and lets the C run, that play is probably 25 yards or longer. The 2 consecutive runs to get to the 7 and then down to the 2 by Swift, the 2nd play was exactly the same, but the C blocks right (instead of left like he had on the previous play) where the RG and RT already had things under control and Swift gets tripped up in the hole by the unblocked player. They're getting push but there are still a ton of mental errors that are costing them yards that won't fly against good teams.

    Is Christopher Meloni his dad?

    It was a super chalky week. I had a clean sheet in the office pool and won by one game.

    Have you read most of this dude's posts? He's incredibly unserious.

    I think the vast majority of it was that the Bears staff/team hadn't done the overseas thing before and that Jacksonville does this every year and has their routine down. Outside of that and the Bears DB injuries, I can't come up with a single reason why it would have moved that much. I took full advantage and won money on them so bully for me.

    What specifically do you think he needs to change to be successful in MLB?

    You, nor anyone other than Cody, have zero clue if this is true or not. I have no idea why people think speaking in absolutes like this ever makes any sense.

    That's exactly the kind of QB this defense should eat alive so I hope you're right.

    If he does, he's sure doing a great job making it look like he doesn't.

    I saw a picture of my high school's football team from this year and there were 18 kids total on the varsity squad. It was easily 25-30 when I was in high school 30 years ago and enrollment was like 370 then and over 500 now.

    Pick a neutral site and all the WC teams go there. The bottom 2 play each other Tuesday, winner plays the top WC team Wednesday, winner of that game goes to the division series against the team with the best record. It would be absolute madness and I'd love it.

    He would have needed 10 less throws and no OT if Mooney could catch the ball when he's wide open.

    If you want manager who will be there for 2/3 of the games, sure. This is a weird move considering all the health issues Francona has had causing him to miss time.
  15. mul21
    Okay, sure, fine, it was the players not trying hard enough during home games.🙄

    You're saying their approach is the reason for bad offensive numbers at Wrigley. Their approach is the same pretty much everyday right? So if the approach is the same everyday and the numbers are wildly different in away games (they are for 2024) then there has to be a park factor involved. Especially when you look at visitor offensive numbers and those are similarly suppressed vs other parks.

    By upper end I mean guys that will effectively push Taillon to the de facto #5 starter and at that point you have a really solid rotation with lots of depth available.
  18. mul21
    I thought point #2 was very interesting. Tells me TT is right in his evaluation of pitching being the priority in the offseason. I think we see two upper end of the rotation additions because of that combined with the uncertainty caused by the injuries to all the young guys who could potentially fill those spots.

    I saw a similar article but it removed all players who accumulated less than 2 WAR from the calculation, so kind of a suspect method. Regardless, the suppression of salary by owners has led to a downward trend in $/WAR in free agency with more dollars being allocated to players performing at a <2 WAR pace and less to those 2-4 WAR players. It's a really weird trend making it difficult to really ascertain a good $/WAR value.
  20. mul21
    Cody underperformed his contract by somewhere between $5.5-10 million depending on what you use as your $/WAR calculation value. Some of that is actual underperformance, some of that is injury, and a decent chunk of it is paying him as a CF and him playing 95 of his 130 games somewhere other than CF with 46 of those games being at 1B and DH. He was -0.4 dWAR, which you wouldn't expect to be the case in CF for most of the season.

    If they were doing it everywhere then why are the numbers so much worse at Wrigley than on the road? The data doesn't support anything you're saying.
  22. mul21
    Is DJ Moore actually dogging it and is it a problem? That film review posted in last weeks game thread is concerning at the very least.
  23. mul21
    I think it signals how big of a disaster the development system is with some loyalty to Mozeliak thrown in. And the Dewitts like stability, so this probably scratches that particular itch as well. I can't argue that it's a weird way to go though.
  24. mul21
    Eh, it doesn't seem that crazy to me. He spent this year evaluating the minor league and development system, he'll have the next year to focus on making the necessary changes and then takes over the reins after that.
  25. mul21
    Makes sense. Gives Bloom a chance to rebuild their minor league development system and focus solely on that while Mo finishes out his contract.
