I think pivetta hit every part of the black this inning

The dirt color is messing with me too

Defense. It's not entirely shocking case is playing well.

When you are on the one inch line you just sneak it 3 times.

It's the right move

(To be clear I don't feel that way, I'm just sure the painted nail crowd will be out in force)

If it's not serious enough that they think he could play the next game, there's going to be a lot of people questioning why he couldn't have gutted through the pain to finish the game, and why he acted like he was shot and dying.

While pffs week one rating on Caleb is ridiculous, that ranking is a bit more explainable. It takes prior performance into account and they state that the rankings won't change much the first couple weeks.

I don't know, but if I had to guess, that injury is probably tied into his feelings on the training staff. Apparently the one requirement for getting a training staff job with a Chicago sports team is to suck ass.

I know some one who has the inside scoop with gordon, and this is the same thing he's being told. Gordon doesn't like the bears team doctors, thinks they misdiagnosed him, went somewhere else, got it figured out, and is on track to return after week 4.

BTW, did anyone else not immediately recognize Caleb at the cubs game without his beard?

Wait, there are two people on this board that share that opinion?!

Fun to see zobrist. Can't believe they actually made him run the bases.

Part of the reason that even an extra half hour for practice would be helpful is that we try to end each practice with some sort of scrimmage or game to kind of just let them play/utilize the skills. Fitting a warm up plus skills practice plus strategy plus scrimmage into one hour is basically impossible. And I would love if the kids developed skills by just playing on their own with their friends but most of the time they have other things they would rather be doing (hanging with friends, video games, pool, etc). I've actually been surprised that my son and some of the neighbor kids have been regularly going to the park and playing pick up baseball. To them it's just fun, but they are going to be better players because of it.
