    I want to be optimistic, but could they have had an easier start to the season? If they put up good showings against the Colts and Bucs I'm on the bandwagon.
  2. Tryptamine
    Bears outscored 30-3 over the last 3.5 quarters.
  3. Tryptamine
    You rebuild and get what you can in trades to help speed up the process.
  4. Tryptamine
    Well at least we didn't trade an odds on favorite to win the MVP at age 21 for the ghost of James Shields.
  5. Tryptamine
    Trubisky has zero QB IQ
  6. Tryptamine
    How much must Foles suck if he can’t beat this guy out I'm trying to convince myself it's just because the camp was so short.
  7. Tryptamine
    There is zero reason Trubisky should be on a football field.
  8. Tryptamine
    Well at least they didn't give up much at the deadline
  9. Tryptamine
    I'd love to get Dylan Bundy depending on what the Cubs get out of Quintana. He's showing improved command this year and throwing his hittable fastball a lot less.
  10. Tryptamine
    Can the Cubs refuse to play them? It seems ridiculous to make them put their health and season on the line. Especially with more positives likely coming in the next few days.
  11. Tryptamine
    Recent pictures of him are pretty shocking at how thin and weathered he has become. I think there's something very bad happening with him outside of baseball.
  12. Tryptamine
    That's a possible outcome. It's also a way to not end up trading Kris Bryant for some other contender's spare pre-injured arms and A ballers because of some offseason press so there's that I would love some dream scenario where some team inexplicably gives up a player that is basically as good as Bryant, under control longer and is cheaper, but it's not happening. I like Bryant as much as anyone, but you need to be realistic in what his value is. Also, enough with the injured arm stuff. Damn near every pitcher by 25 has injured their arm to some degree.
  13. Tryptamine
    Well yeah, that should be the case when entertaining the idea of trading a possible future HOFer in his prime And that asking price is how you end up with nothing but a draft pick after wasting his value on two years of a very marginal baseball team.
  14. Tryptamine
    Tatis carries far more value than Bryant by himself. You're asking for ridiculous packages.
  15. Tryptamine
    Why not? There's a substantial amount of hype around him this year as a prime breakout candidate. Outside of Paddack and Tatis, who certainly wouldn't be available, he's the most valuable mlb trade piece they have. Lamet,munoz and Campusano would be a really nice haul and likely more than they will get in reality.
  16. Tryptamine
    I understand hurting your arm/shoulder while pitching, because it's not a natural movement, but damn Morrow gets hurt just existing.
  17. Tryptamine
    Between the new channel and doing absolutely nothing the last two offseasons, it's been a very long time since I've cared so little about the up and coming season.
  18. Tryptamine
    I'd prefer to avoid a Machado situation where the Orioles got mostly nothing because they wasted too much of his control.
  19. Tryptamine
    His LD, Flyball and hard contact rates all jumped over his career numbers during that period and GB rate dropped below his career numbers too. Also appears he took 4 games off the week before. So maybe he finally felt healthy and/or tweaked something and it clicked. He did make swing changes which is what I mentioned very early in the offseason. At the least he should be a desirable platoon bat with a chance at a bit more.
  20. Tryptamine
    Worst case scenario for me. You don't maximize Bryant, Contreras, etc trade value , instead pretending that an 84 win team that has only gotten worse is a WS contender. Either add to the team or capitalize on your asset's value, don't run out mediocrity hoping that various things break right.
  21. Tryptamine
    For one year? Absolutely not.
  22. Tryptamine
    There is an enormous gulf between Paddack and Quantrill in value. I very much doubt Paddack is available. Quantrill, Lucchesi, Strahm, etc sure.
  23. Tryptamine
    I still think they're in on Bryant. They added a 110 OPS+ bat in Ozuna, but lost a 132 in Donaldson. They need to do more.
  24. Tryptamine
    In any trade with Arizona Corbin Carroll is a must have for me. Already a top 50 guy in my eyes and a good chance to work into the top 20.
  25. Tryptamine
    That glimmer of hope was fun for the short time it lasted. Now to continue watching nothing happen for the rest of the offseason.
