    Good result, but make the decision faster Caleb.
  2. Tryptamine
    He gave that safety all the time in the world to recover.
  3. Tryptamine
    He literally tucks the ball away, how is that not a football move?
  4. Tryptamine
    That's a fumble. If that gets overturned, I'm convinced they're just flipping a coin.
  5. Tryptamine
    There was a ton of stuff happening on that play.
  6. Tryptamine
    Did anyone bother to show up today?
  7. Tryptamine
    Yeah, keep putting Caleb in 3rd and long so the Jaguars can send the house.
  8. Tryptamine
    Jags can't stop anyone on first drive, Bears go 3 and out. Jags can't score on opening drives, they March down the field and only Gabe Davis not being able to catch keeps them from a TD. Good start.
  9. Tryptamine
    Defense getting absolutely abused
  10. Tryptamine
    Starting pitchers with a 6.38 K/9 or lower in MLB who also pitched more than 100 innings Jose Urena Kyle Hendricks Bailey Falter Cole Irvin Austin Gomber These are the type of guys you pick up off waivers, not give 15-20M a year to.
  11. Tryptamine
    I would quite literally vomit if the Cubs gave Sugano anything near 20M annually. I'm not giving that to just about any 35 year old pitcher, let alone one who has never thrown a pitch in MLB. He struck out 111 in 156.2 IP last year. That absolutely will not work in MLB.
  12. Tryptamine
    A thing done a couple times a year is not many times, especially when you're dangling prospect capital like that.
  13. Tryptamine
    They did snag Moises Ballesteros, and Cristian Hernandez has reestablished himself, but yeah it's been kind of just ok overall. They're definitely doing far more work on the rule 4 draft.
  14. Tryptamine
    The NE game I'm not concerned about, but I could very easily see them losing to either Washington or Arizona.
  15. Tryptamine
    While I know it's unlikely Alcantara stays with the Cubs long term, can we stop forcing him out the door in every trade? Giving up a top 50ish prospect for a reliever, who has an extremely minimal chance to convert to a 4 or 5 inning starter is just such a bad use of resources. If you're going to give up a top trade chip, go get an established starter even if it takes another significant piece. Taking on Vazquez's awfulness as well makes this is a 100% no from me.
  16. Tryptamine
    I mean it's all a super unlikely hypothetical. If Jed really liked Willson he would have paid him to begin with, it was more just a mental exercise into how well he would fit the team in this imaginary scenario.
  17. Tryptamine
    Really think there's a strong utility man or solid 2nd division starter there.
  18. Tryptamine
    With Willson he's got 40-50 games he'd be at catcher. Then with injuries else where, let's say PCA got injured, Cody slides to CF, Seiya to RF and Willson into DH. If you bring in a DH/OF there is no 40-50 game buffer like there would be for catcher. You'd be solely dependent on injuries/rest to get them ABs in that scenario and most position players rest what, maybe 10 games a year compared to 40/50.
  19. Tryptamine
    If they're going to be a play off team they realistically have to take 3 out of the Jacksonville/Washington/Arizona/New England stretch. After that they're going to spend the rest of the season playing teams that are all likely to be .500 or better by season's end. I feel like that Indianapolis game is going to come back to haunt them.
  20. Tryptamine
    Who is that bat that's just going ignore that there is no room for him to currently get everyday ABs? Why would they sign here without some kind of guarantee when they could sign somewhere else with everyday ABs more or less guaranteed?
  21. Tryptamine
    Maybe I'm misinterpreting it, but that eye black message from George Pickens sure gives the impression that he isn't much of a Justin Fields fan.
  22. Tryptamine
    To play where? If Cody is back, Seiya is probably your DH. What big bat is going to sign here to be a bench guy getting maybe 400 ABs a year?
  23. Tryptamine
    Same with Mathis, and I might have Southisene in my top 20.
  24. Tryptamine
    The Cubs need it on the offensive side of the ball as there aren't other places to fill in more offense, especially if Cody comes back. There's no catcher out there who is going to give you a big bat and plays positive defense that is actually going to be available. The closest thing is Victor Caratini whose 113 wRC+ was way outside of his career averages.
  25. Tryptamine
    He wasn't much different than Danny Jansen this year defensively and people were drooling over him, same with Shea Langeliers. Plus remember, he's basically playing backup catcher. So he's catching what, 40-45ish games and spending the rest at DH.
