    9 plays, they'll maybe get the ball back with a couple minutes before half time. Even by Bear standards this is a completely collapse of a game.
  2. Tryptamine
    Wow that was an incredibly weak roughing the passer
  3. Tryptamine
    2nd and 25, they'll get it somehow
  4. Tryptamine
    This defense is laughably terrible.
  5. Tryptamine
    I'm seriously not sure if the Bears run 10 plays in the 1st half.
  6. Tryptamine
    The entire nation getting a perfect example of why defensive guru head coach should be gone 5 minutes after game ends.
  7. Tryptamine
    Bears are going to end up running 3 plays in the 1st quarter.
  8. Tryptamine
    Tyrique Stevenson is getting completely torn apart
  9. Tryptamine
    Another lost challenge by Eberflus
  10. Tryptamine
    Worry not people, I'm sure Jed will counter with Kluber who will throw 40 mediocre innings before his arm falls off again
  11. Tryptamine
    Yeah, it really must be nice to have ownership who gives even the slightest of fucks about winning. Ricketts liked his new toy for a few years, but now it's just a means to keep lining those pockets.
  12. Tryptamine
    I'll believe when I see it, but I sure am seeing a lot of speculation that Eberflus is out after the Detroit game, albeit not from big industry names.
  13. Tryptamine
    With Jed you have to set your expectations like this. There's the tier he should shop in which is the Soto/Burnes tier. Then there's the tier we expect him to shop in, like Alonso/Flaherty/Kikuchi/etc. Wherever we expect him to shop, drop it one more tier and that's where Jed is going to be. They'll once again be projected for somewhere between 80-84 wins and some here will desperately cling to theory about some bigger picture. When reality is more mediocre baseball and hoping to stumble into a wild card spot.

    I have no issue with depth, I have an issue with dropping 1/3 of the offseason money on depth
  15. Tryptamine
    But those guys are all so much better than Alonso.
  16. Tryptamine
    I would be shocked if he got 6/180. Freddie Freeman got 6/162 and he's a way better player than Alonso.
  17. Tryptamine
    Yeah he's not a 2.70 era guy, but his peripherals suggest his a 3.2-3.5 guy.
  18. Tryptamine
    I don't think going after Crochet is at all mediocre, but seeing that they've been almost entirely unlinked to him and Jed being afraid of big moves, I think it's incredibly unlikely.
  19. Tryptamine
    Why would he get more? He's coming off two years with a 122 and 121 wRC+, that's Ian Happ and Ian at least gives you defense and a few SB. Not to mention Alonso had a body type and skill set that falls off fast.
  20. Tryptamine
    Williams will put up 30 in a loss and still get hated on because it wasn't a win.
  21. Tryptamine
    It's the upside that I think is a tier or two above the others and upside it what the rotation needs.
  22. Tryptamine
    Which comes back to my original point that missing on Kikuchi sucks, especially if they intend to add 2 SP. edit: We more or less know they aren't in on Burnes/Fried/Snell. I'd be highly surprised if they were in on Flaherty. That meansif they're shopping in FA for a pitcher, they're shopping for a guy in the back half of the rotation unless a miracle of all miracles happens and Sasaki picks the Cubs.
  23. Tryptamine
    Another chance to be embarrassed in the national spotlight. Such fun.
  24. Tryptamine
    Probably true, and I'd 100% let the new HC choose his own staff. I was simply saying, if the new HC did, by chance, keep him as the OC I wouldn't mind.
  25. Tryptamine
    He's also a guy who doesn't have Bellinger's upside with the bat, not since 2020 anyway, nor any of his defensive value.
