    Not surprised at all about offensive struggles early on in training camp. If they're still problems at the end of training camp and into the preseason I'll be maybe 1% worried but theres really no way to know anything until the season starts.
  2. BigSlick
    Unfortunately Cubs, you have to sweep this team. Good luck!
  3. BigSlick
    I dunno why but I'm reminded of Ryan Braun and just how much I hated that guy for over a decade. Hate that dude.

    I think the present teams are roughly equivalent (which is kind of obvious to say given they have virtually the same record) - the Cubs have a better offense, the Brewers have a better pitching staff. Probably, the Cubs pitching will improve as people come off the IL and people are acquired, and there’s really no commensurate improvement to be found in the Brewers, but who’s to say! Baseball is a dumb and evil sport.

    Well that sucked but if there’s any silver lining perhaps we are seeing the Emergence of one Matt Shaw
  6. BigSlick
    How do you know there are teams out there willing to make a deal yet?
  7. BigSlick
    the game is lost but i'm sorry i'm gonna NEED you idiots to hit some home runs here. one of the worst offenses in the league is teeing off and getting dongers, I REQUIRE DONGS
  8. BigSlick
    i do not like this!! not a fan of it!!!
  9. BigSlick
    he's never mowed a lawn??
  10. BigSlick
    he is the spiritual reincarnation of Javy Baez in all his beautiful strengths and weaknesses

    Thats a Salvador Perez special. I looked it up on Gameday and yeah, that's a borderline inside strike at best. Can't get too mad when a guy just freakishly mashes that out. Can our boys do that?
  12. BigSlick
    One weird trick that Cubs hitters HATE
  13. BigSlick
    ugh. screw this
  14. BigSlick
    we definitely need our big hitters to act like big hitters again
  15. BigSlick
    is this Pasquantino guy any good. why is he acting like babe ruth up there
  16. BigSlick
    you are NOT allowed to lose a home series to these bums, so figure it out boys
  17. BigSlick
    that Cal Raleigh guy is really good
  18. BigSlick
    Matt Shaw OPS: .615 Ian Happ OPS: .695 🫣
  19. BigSlick
    Great bounce back game
  20. BigSlick
    Another sterling start for Boyd
  21. BigSlick
    I know this is how Rich Hill has stayed in the league so long but HOW can you not just clobber a 69 MPH curveball every time
  22. BigSlick
    I personally don’t appreciate just how old Rich Hill looks given I saw his first ever start on tv (I was 16 of course)
  23. BigSlick
    Nobody is going to respect the Bears until they give a reason to during the regular season. And everyone is right to be skeptical. The Bears are constantly disappointing and rarely live up to our hopes and dreams. And that’s fine, who cares. i think they’ll be significantly better this year but I don’t begrudge a single fan or commentator who doesn’t see it. Why should they?
  24. BigSlick
    I don’t know what a “WS caliber” roster really means honestly. There are teams that qualify for the playoffs, and there are teams that win the World Series, and you can better position yourself in the postseason, but only somewhat. The best teams in the league only win around 60% of the time. That’s just baseball buddy.
  25. BigSlick
    But also, I’ll always have a fondness for Rich Hill and I’m saddened we didn’t get to enjoy his best years with us. There’s few things as fun in baseball as a lefty with a big fat curveball. That’s just pure baseball my friends.
