    Please stop suggesting that Busch play 2nd base
  2. Rex Buckingham
    And the idiot announcers called it a "miscommunication" when it was clearly a throwaway

    That's one of the most encouraging things for me in watching Caleb Williams have some success. It's a league where guys can take a lot of time to get up to speed at the QB position. Seeing him (and Daniels) have this level of success (and for Caleb, the marked improvement as the season goes on) seems to bode well for his future

    he clearly doesn't mean every family, but there are hundreds of places where kids can and do hear those words - many of which hear it at home plenty

    There is nothing about Julian Merryweather's MLB career that suggests this level of confidence in him coming back from injury. His 2023 performance was very good. Other than that, his best year as a pro was in 2016 in High A and AA in the Cleveland system.

    Totally fair, you've been doing it for years and this is like the 2nd/3rd year they've actually had a ranking at any point
  7. Rex Buckingham
    Hey, it might not last that long, so put Illinois up there with the ranked teams. Not sure if you use coaches poll or AP right now, but they're ranked in both
  8. Rex Buckingham
    In time.... so like by week 15 or so?
  9. Rex Buckingham
    love getting that sack to keep them off the board there
  10. Rex Buckingham
    threw a punch at Horn, just because
  11. Rex Buckingham
    Pryor is an idiot
  12. Rex Buckingham
    Carolina getting chippy... tired of getting their butts kicked
  13. Rex Buckingham
    never did get Rome, unfortunately. And I don't think I need to drop Cairo or the D, but will be fully prepared to do so
  14. Rex Buckingham
    That bad throw to Moore seems like the result of Caleb being exhausted from the last 2 plays
  15. Rex Buckingham
    I know Carolina sucks, but I just want to point out that I dropped Swift from my fantasy team before the Rams game, and this week I dropped Caleb. Also, he is in complete control of this offense. It looks great. Wish we would have played Carolina earlier in the season, but I think this will help him take off

    My theory is that it's harder than we think for even good players (not the great ones) to produce on really bad teams. The losing has to wear on these guys over the course of such a long season.
  17. Rex Buckingham
    Yeah, I would expect Kirby to cost at least as much as Miller or Woo. Also, I bet Castillo may be a bit more willing to waive his NTC than the average guy, if for no other reason than to pick his destination before he loses that option next year.
  18. Rex Buckingham
    As much as I would like to see this, I won't believe it til i see it. I just don't think they'll take Dansby or Nico out of the lineup that much unless it's injury related. However, they have shown a tendency to get banged up enough that Shaw can get plenty of ABs so I'm not opposed to him opening the season in the majors. Though I might prefer he stays in AAA with a guy like Vazquez in the bigs til an injury pops up or performance forces the issue.

    That's a foolish take. If Juan Soto says, "I want to sign with you, if you'll just put an opt-out in there for me after year x." You put the opt-out in. Even if it's after year 1, you put it in because you get to have Juan Soto for a year and he's going to make your baseball team a lot better
  20. Rex Buckingham
    If Soto wants an opt out, you give it to him. Heck, if Soto says he will sign, but we have to replace the ivy with cushioned walls and demands a stipulation in his contract that he gets to take a dump in Pat Hughes' personal bathroom in the 5th inning of every game, you give it to him. Pay the man whatever money he wants and watch him blast majestic dongs. (Of course I know he's not coming here, but it almost certainly will be about the money we offer and the fact that the Cubs havent been very good since like 2017, not opt outs)
  21. Rex Buckingham
    So, the entire NL and AL Central divisions except for the Cubs and White Sox are without a TV deal for next year... yikes
  22. Rex Buckingham
    hasn't he been missing some practice time with a back injury? May just be rest, but it's probably not nothing
  23. Rex Buckingham
    Yeah, i intentionally left that part out, and the fall from that season to the last 3 is obviously a huge part of the reason for change. But it's a fun juxtaposition when it seems like Jed's job has never been considered in jeopardy even when having basically the same results
  24. Rex Buckingham
    Yeah, even a 90-100 wRC+ at the C position is a positive
  25. Rex Buckingham
    The Giants have won 36 more regular season games since the pandemic-shortened season than the Cubs.
