Again? It was the first time he couldn't get out of the first this season (3 IP, 1.2 IP, 4 IP, 4 IP and today's 0.2 IP). I guess I was thinking the 1.2 was .2 or something.

Little failed to get out of the 1st again. I'm just going to overlook his debut and figure that he'll be different in SB next year, with a full offseason. But, it'd be nice if he got his horsefeathers together a bit.

I'd say Tseng is higher than Underwood for me and its not that close. Underwood needs a longer stretch for me to invest again.

He had a really rough first and then recovered beautifully. Gave up the run, both walks, 2 singles (one was an IF single) and all 3 of his WPs in the first. Rest of the game: 4 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 K Him and Ademan should both be entrenched in top 100 lists by mid season next year. And honestly, I expect Amaya to be there too, at that point. The 3 A's, hell, 4 with Alzolay.

Albertos goes 5 4 1 1 2 8.....

Damn, now THAT is a trade.....SSR, thoughts?

Has Clifton pitched himself out of being protected? Its got to be a close call at this stage.

The Javy GIF is in the Javy thread.

Trubisky only getting a quarter and change worth of snaps, with the play calling involved was pitiful. This staff has to go. Glennon looked awful, but I guess he's the Week 1 starter for sure. Be shocked if he's there after 3-4 games though.

Cohen is going to get 10+ touches a game, isn't he?

Albertos goes 5 2 0 0 2 7.....

Rucker goes 6 5 3 2 1 9.... Moreno goes 5 1 0 0 2 8.....

Well, Mayock had said before the combine that Trubisky was going to measure out shorter than his supposed height. But, he didn't. Without ever having given it a thought, I DID think Rodgers was taller than that. Body type? No idea, but I'd have been thinking the same as you.

It's funny. A day or two ago, I noticed a post you made a little after the draft where you didn't expect anyone from the draft to play much in 2017 (or something to that effect). I wasn't going to reply to it to gotcha you or anything, it just read kind of funny with the way the story seems to be going on those guys. Trubisky is probably going to start at some point, maybe by the bye (if not sooner), and Shaheen, Cohen, and Jackson are all almost certain to see a ton of snaps. Yeah, I thought Jackson was probably the only guy that'd contribute. I really liked Shaheen, but I thought he was a slight reach. Honestly thought Cohen could have been had much later....I think I was just disappointed with the amount of picks we wound up with and started trying to nitpick, pile on to my already incorrect thinking.....Doubling down on insanity usually doesn't work. Shocker, didn't with that either lol. Its fun that these guys look like true contributors going forward. I'm honestly surprised at them being this advanced. Pace looks like he knows his horsefeathers right now. Rambling a bit, but I want to walk a fine line this year.....One that somehow gets Fox ousted, but shows we're fun and on the right track. Not even sure its achievable, but that's my goal somehow. Unless Trubisky just comes in and puts them in the playoffs lol. And as far as my original argument, the "wait for 2018 for a QB" thing....Man, I really like some of that class. But, there are too many teams that are actively trying to suck out loud. We likely wouldn't have wound up in the Darnold sweepstakes at all and even the next 2 guys, whoever out of that group that separates..... So, if the Bears do ride Glennon for a while and wind up with a top 5 pick.....They can recoup all sorts of picks and do it with a QB already in place, which some of you guys said last year anyway.

As the guy who loathed the general thought about of even taking Trubisky..... How can ANYONE not be stoked by that? One preseason game? Yeah, so? It went about as well(hell, better) than damn near anyone's wildest expectations. The guy looks the part. Its OK to say that. He's got lots of work to do obviously. But, I don't care if its one game, against backups....Still much easier to see this panning out. He's got the tools. It isn't about this year. But, he's going to get plenty of time under center in 2017. Forget numbers, the eye test alone.....He stood out. I couldn't be happier to have been so wrong. Pace saved his job with this draft. Cohen is going to be fun. Shaheen will be a force soon and Jackson is going to be a starter....And we got a franchise QB. Maybe they don't win but 4-5 games in 2017.....But, this team is going to be fun to watch.

Couple of things.....Obviously unsure if its true, but its been mentioned we were on Darvish' NT list, because he didn't want to play in the cold. As for Otani.....If he DOES hold off and doesn't come this year, he'd be much better off just waiting an extra year on top of it. Because he'd go from making 10 mill total to 200 mill, by doing it.

Considering its that OR cash, I'd think it's extremely minor.

It amazes me that ANY fans of other teams can even remotely question Theo, at this stage. Really? They don't think HE can think 3 moves ahead? Gutting the system? They don't realize he's better at restocking than anyone else? Its hilarious to see comments, then think of how all they've ACTUALLY got to look forward to, all they can hope for, is the day Theo leaves. And then, you've likely still got Jed and Jason, with a loaded roster, to take over..... There will be an outlier year on occasion, but this division is basically like the Yankees in the AL East for the past 20+ years. Except the Cubs don't even have a Red Sox to challenge them. The Brewers need to set the first half of their 2017 to "One Shining Moment" and cherish those highlights for the entire non-playoff making 6 years Lewis Brinson and others give them, before their Rebuild:The Sequel begins to take shape. And they still don't realize how much they're fucked.

imagine if we hadn't needed to have (or had) happ turn into a significant part of the mlb roster... There's actually a part of me that thinks Happ gets moved in a Sonny Gray deal tomorrow. Theo gonna Theo.

If you told me a month ago that Theo was going to add Q, Wilson, and Avila.....I'd have been ecstatic. Oh, and without touching the ML team..... So yeah, I'm ecstatic.
