  1. Sure, but it looks like some of the possible storylines that might have been "juicy" just kinda weren't. - "Cocky and confident rookie QB comes to camp...how will he handle the pressure?" - He's really coachable and everyone seems to like him - "Ryan Poles needs to figure out how to extend some of his other offensive stars" - He signs DJ Moore quickly and with little controversy - "Exciting position battles at the first preseason game!!" - No one of consequence plays and the game is rained out PRODUCER: "We only have 22 minutes of show here.....we didn't throw away that haircut footage, did we?"
  2. You could have given me infinite guesses to name the White Sox manager and I never would've produced Pedro Grifol
  3. What's good for the Bears (drama free camp, hard work, etc) is bad for Hard Knocks. We, as Bears fans, will enjoy the show because its about our team. I'm going to guess that we will hear complaints of it being "boring" by the more casual HK fans if the show continues like episode 1.
  4. Bearded Flus > clean shaven Flus start printing those Super Bowl tickets
  5. It’s only awkward because Boog has a mountain of actual statistics in front of him while Girardi spouts out his opinions as “facts”. Boog tries to set him up with questions about his managerial days, and then Girardi says something dumb. “Joe, who was a player that you managed who was a really great base runner?” *Girardi names someone who is a statistically terrible base runner * *Boog facepalms for the seventeenth time*
  6. I expect that the Dodgers will sign Soto with some sort of "we'll pay you $1/year now but your great-grandkids will get $10 billion in the year 2125" deal
  7. Not shocked that the first Hard Knocks was very Caleb-centric. I expect more rookie stuff in future episodes.
  8. It's amazing to me that a guy who looks as jacked as Nico has such pitiful power numbers
  9. Festa is very bad, so he will throw 7 innings of 1 run ball
  10. If PCA can OBP around .350, you have to lead him off next year, right? He'll steal 50 bases
  11. They're just destroying the 60/42/60 theory
  12. I didn’t see the PCA play, but his overall demeanor in the field is overly casual and cocky. He does the “catch it at my shoulder at the last second” thing that Soriano used to do (minus the hop) and it drives me crazy
  13. I love that espn is not even trying to compete with the Olympics. Savannah Bananas on one channel, slippery stairs on the other.
  14. Busch growing into a 25-30 HR hitter would not suck
  15. Okay but he also strikes out a ton. Same number of K’s as Morel but in 30 fewer PA’s
  16. At various times: Sosa Zambrano Aramis Javy
  17. Guess the MLB blackout rules did me a solid this series
