  1. I don't disagree with that assessment, but my point still stands lol. You definitely wish they'd take a smart caller or two every once in awhile instead of screening for asshats, but that's their schtick.
  2. Is there a purpose to Terry Boers? I don't think I've ever heard him disagree with Bernstein once, and lately he has just been repeating stuff Bernstein says verbatim right after he says it.
  3. Rolle to the Bears per Jen Lada.
  4. Happened in a bunt drill, as if we needed more reasons to hate them.
  5. Damnit. I love him.
  6. Jays supposedly making significant announcement in 10 minutes.
  7. It looks like MLB Network will replay it at 5 AM. Nothing live.
  8. Yeah, I saw the Chicago Sports News tweet, but I think they are in the educated guesses business. All of their sourced stuff usually comes right after a real source says something about another team being out, etc. At least I think.
  9. There's a lot of buzz that Knighton to the Raiders was false and that the Bears are a finalist. Who are you following for that? Twitter search Terrance Knighton. But Leming, Dickerson, Troy Renck, Adam Hoge. And some Raiders reporters denied they were close to a deal last night.
  10. There's a lot of buzz that Knighton to the Raiders was false and that the Bears are a finalist.
  11. http://m.bleacherreport.com/articles/2368960-ravens-lb-pernell-mcphee-the-hidden-gem-of-the-2015-nfl-free-agent-market Hopefully the mobile link works on desktops, but this is a pretty optimistic article on him (albeit probably a bit fluffy).
  12. McPhee thing has been confirmed now.
  13. Suh to Miami.
  14. We've also been linked to McCourty, Culliver, Searcy, etc. And also supposedly looking at every pass rusher. In other words, there's nothing to worry about.
  15. "BUT HOW WILL HE GET TO 100 RBI'S BATTING 2ND?!"
  16. Bernstein and Kaplan are obsessed with using variations of the word "clown" to describe him at any opportunity they get.
  17. I don't know if it's BS but Kurkijan just said Soler put on 20 lbs over the winter (working out). I'm going to doubt it but who knows.
  18. Carson Fulmer wiffleball fastball. http://cdn.fangraphs.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Fulmer-Florentine-FA-SS-K.gif
  19. This is probably the year we take a pitcher, but Dansby Swanson is really good, off to a huge start, and just sounds like a prototypical Theo guy regarding makeup.
  20. Joked with my dad last night about why Rose was still in with 2 minutes left up 17 or whatever it was. Joked that this is right about the time where he'll tear something.
  21. I'm still getting used to Javy's newly found teeth.
  22. yay There was a Javy video/interview I just watched where he mentioned Mallee coming down to work with him in the PR and then he casually mentioned that Manny went down there to help him as well.
  23. I still think Russell at 3rd makes the most sense and that he can go all Machado (defensively) over there. Plus you can let him beef up a bit like he did in high school and hopefully maximize his power potential even more. It's not like Javy's a bad option at 3rd, but I think he fits best at 2nd where he can still use his range but cut down on the erratic throws. Definitely a bit of wasted arm strength with him at 2nd, but you're going to have to make a bit of a sacrifice with whomever you put there.
  24. Positive prediction: Addison Russell starts off hot at AAA and gets promoted much sooner than people expect with the Cubs looking competitive. Makes his debut in late May (at 3rd). Negative prediction: Arrieta's big bump in usage of the slider/cutter (slutter?) continues, and while he's good because of it, he battles arm injuries on and off all year and can't shoulder a massive workload. But hopefully he's just a lumberjack hoss and the increased stress on the arm doesn't mean squat.
