    NASL let the Cosmos owners talk them into trying to punch far above their weight. Big mistake.

    The problem is that the Fire and Fire games are terrible. Bad team, bad match day atmosphere. Looks like Leicester should have probably improved their centerback pairing as opposed to buying two starting strikers during the window. Huth and Morgan are bad without Kante screening them.

    Baez or Heyward

    Jesus Javy don't hurt your back

    If Coghlan makes the postseason roster will La Stella just retire?
  6. USSoccer
    Well we know who Chompers is going to be angry at postgame now at least
  7. USSoccer
    Lord what is the point of Zobrist
  8. USSoccer
    Javy was safe there so going by past precedent they'll overturn the call on the field and call him out

    The 4th round and conditional 5th round pick you'd get at best for Jay isn't worth actually trading Jay.

    No, I don't really think it was bad luck. And I don't really agree that the problem is a lack of organization philosophy. It seems fairly obvious they were going for a younger, faster defense and counting on a solid run game with the occasional deep threat, a standard play not to lose mentality. the problem is talent at key positions. The offensive tackles suck, the defense cannot rush the passer. Pace, whose history is in scouting guys already in the NFL, has not been a good drafter, and frankly I have no reason to believe he was capable of making a better hire than Fox. He looked for stability. If there is one encouranging thing about Pace's drafting, its been his picks outside the first round, as well as UDFAs. But you can't swing and miss on multiple top ten picks. Not that its too late for them to turn it around, but eaely returns are not promising, and there was plenty or criticism at the time so its not just 20/20 second guessing. Regarding his coaching pick. Yea, he went safe. Pro personnel? He did a good job at his two ILB pickups. Outside of that... pretty meh over both years. Isn't that basically the exact same flaw as Angelo? Good with late round picks, terrible with high picks.

    But he's soft and needs to wake the F up. Or something. According to the guy who waited all winter to have surgery and is on the PUP list.
  12. USSoccer
    Even if they tank they'll piss away the high pick like they did the past two drafts
  13. USSoccer
    That was completely obnoxious
  14. USSoccer
    Someone earned his mackerel there

    I'm sure SSR has a butler's pool house he can crash in

    Javy is a damn treasure
  17. USSoccer
    Since Ryno's in the park they should let him go into the clubhouse and hang with Dave Martinez. You know, catch up.
  18. USSoccer
    You guys hate fun, huh?
  19. USSoccer
    Well, being important is what Ryne Sandberg's all about.
  20. USSoccer
    Plus its almost mating season on the coast and he has to get back to his pod.

    For me, the thing about Javy that makes him awesome is that I feel it would have been easy for him, being a top prospect with a ton of power, to half-ass the little things and not evolve as a player beyond trying to be a dongsman at the plate. Instead, I feel like he's embraced his role on the team thus far and tries to excel at all the "little things". Laying a tag? Baserunning? Sliding? Plus-plus defending? He'll even bunt for a hit. The guy just seems like he wants to contribute in any and every way possible, and for me, that's awesome. But really, tho, where did he get that shirt, because that's a dabbing bear wearing a US Soccer crest shirt and I want it.
  22. USSoccer
    Javy almost definitely runs here
  23. USSoccer
    So the strike zone is just like the pirate code at this point?
  24. USSoccer
    Soler is a terrible defender
  25. USSoccer
    I want to know where to get that shirt.
