What should I work on next?
mul21 replied to Tim's topic in North Side Baseball Issues & Suggestions
I don't know what changed but ever since the great blackout of 2020, this site is marked as suspicious and inaccessible at work. Therefore, I rarely visit anymore because I can't pull it up there. Anything that can be updated to change that? -
That's terrible math. And he's wrong. The benefit was more than 50% greater than the misses.

Kris Bryant is awesome and we were always right to love him
mul21 replied to Brian's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Yeah, I may have worded it badly... my scenario high school draftees and college draftees contracts are for a different number of years for that very reason. EDIT: probably should have said high school draftees are for X years, college draftees for Y years, etc. I think that situation would be easily avoided if you make it X years from signing with a caveat that says not to exceed Y years in MLB. So if it's a 10 year window from signing and the player is in MLB after 2 years, there's a 6 year maximum at that point from the time of promotion. -
Well that was a nice little performance in West Lafayette tonight. This Illinois team is really good when they’re hitting shots and I really like the defense and rebounding.

Eh, you wreck an ankle like he did and it takes a long time before you get back to 100% on strength and range of motion and sometimes you never fully get it all back. I would bet he's at a stage now where it's something most of us won't notice but he can still feel it a little bit.
-
Saw the headline, has he been hurt? Or just trying to get out of the NFL alive? He missed like 7 games this year due to concussions.
-
Martinez is terrible in the field but the dude hits every time he's in the lineup. He's not gonna get you 30/100 or anything but he'll probably hit .280+ and OBP .350+ with a decent slug.
-
They're still way too inconsistent in effort on a game to game basis.
-
I assume you’re talking about the second half kickoff? If we’re going to be sticklers, technically it should have been called an illegal forward pass if the ball is going to be considered live.
-
They've spent maaaaaaybe $6-7 million give or take on like a dozen players and most of that is non-guaranteed. It's not wasted in a few ways: so much $/WAR potential, more MiL options, and all that non-guaranteed money helps build towards a more NFL-like future for players. Theo attacking on all fronts for the bosses! He's not quite Andrew Friedman, not sure anyone even has a shot to be, but Theo might be finding his footing as a broke young GMident just trying to make it under the bright lights of the big city Please do not take this as some sort of attack, but a legit question: How do you have fewer than 8,000 posts in five years? This is also like his 3rd different account.

We could call him Reinal as a hat tip to the days of Rnny Ceen and Rey rnez.
-
Take one guess what happened Oh, I messaged a buddy when I posted this and said I was wondering what creative way they’d come up with to blow it. I was not disappointed.
-
Don’t look now, but Illinois is up 15 on #3 Maryland 2.5 minutes into the second half.
-
Oh come on, how do you screw that up? There's only one I in Willson.
-
Pretty concise and probably explains why guys like Mekkes and Giambrone got exposed It only says Rule 5 like 4 times in the blurb you posted. Did you go out of your way to type Rule V wrong on purpose?
-
I’m not overly tech savvy, but maybe it was easier to get the video to a TV vs laptop off the camera they had set up? It looks like the TV was hard wired (wires hanging down from the ceiling) vs having to use WiFi or something from the camera to a laptop. Also maybe they felt they needed a bigger screen to get a better look at the catcher signals vs like a 12” laptop screen? I think it's more likely that they were too dumb to pull off what they they were trying to do without getting caught. Like, it's so hilariously high and low tech at the same time. There's no way they HAD to use a monstroso monitor or TV for this. Better yet, why don't you just have another feed of whatever else hooked up to it (Netflix, ESPN, whatever) that you can flip it to whenever there's not cheating going on?
-
I also feel like they should just go hurry up all the time instead of giving him time to think. I just said the exact same thing to a buddy.
-
Okay Donnie. :^o

Cubs Manager Search (Ross to be hired - Kaplan)
mul21 replied to Cubswin11's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
There are no $500 clues in Jeopardy Umm...yes there are? Nope. Not since like 2010 or something when they doubled everything. It's $200-$1,000 in round 1 and $400-$2,000 in round 2 now. -
I have no idea why Houston trotted Verlander out on short rest. No kidding. Starting him on short rest is a bad idea on its own but when you add in screwing up the rotation for the next series it’s even worse.

Martinez blowing a kiss to Hamilton while on second base after bitching about respecting the game is peak Cardinal lack of self awareness.

Week 3: Bears at Washington - MNF on ESPN (7:15pm)
mul21 replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
Eli was actually the one example I was able to find when I went looking for recent QBs who got significantly better after year 3 (this was right after week 1). Everyone else was basically who they were by year 3, if not year 2. alex smith Drew Brees? -
I agree with this. Maddon has some fault, but this mess isn't his doing. Anything less than Theo taking primary responsibility will be unacceptable. The only thing I want to hear him address in his end of season press conference is the mistakes he has made and what he plans to do to fix them. Maddon is almost certainly gone, but it is largely due to the mistakes that have been made above him. That partially includes ownership, but mostly lies square on the shoulders of Theo. I don't want to hear him place blame on anyone else. The players have proven they are who they are, and it is Theo who bought into them being better than that. I hope Tom Ricketts is furious, and he has every right to be. But does he really care, or is he counting his money and waiting for the new network to launch (which will very likely not even be carried by some of the major content distributors, Dish Network for example)? I generally agree with this, but the pen has been a huge issue and while part of that was Morrow related, I'm not sure who would have predicted that all three of Edwards, Strop, and Monty would completely forget how to pitch and be utterly useless all season.
-
Relying on Reyes for anything is an exercise in futility. That dude will likely not make it through a season healthy until he’s over 30. He’s the new Brandon Morrow.

Can we fire this turd into the sun yet? Last night was inexcusable bullpen use yet again.
