    for fucks sake, catch the ball

    catch the ball...
  3. Tryptamine
    Well the run defense seems to have shown up at least.
  4. Tryptamine
    Really did not like the play calls on 3rd and 4th
  5. Tryptamine
    I'd be shocked if the Cubs were in on him and frankly I don't want them to be

    You put Jeanty behind this Bear Oline with Johnson's play calling and I'd seriously set his over under at something like 1500 rushing yards. Unrelated, but can you imagine the uproar if Caleb had put up a game like Nix did tonight? He'd be getting horsefeathers on by every sports show across the country, but because it's Nix I doubt we hear much of anything.

    And as a result they keep having to trade prospects to fill the needs in the pen at the deadline.
  8. Tryptamine
    Dumps Shota and Kittredge but picks up Rea's option. Yup, get ready to be incredibly underwhelmed.
  9. Tryptamine
    I wouldn't be at all surprised if they shaved 20-30M off last years payroll. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same. The only scenario that would surprise is if they actually exceeded the first tier, on purpose anyway.
  10. Tryptamine
    Not interested at all. With his current swing 30% k rate is optimistic.
  11. Tryptamine
    This. It's not a good look dumping all these contracts early on. It still way too early to have a real opinion on it, but I'm usually pretty pessimistic when it comes to Hoyer.
  12. Tryptamine
    Trade deadline day, will the Bears get a pass rusher? I think I'd rather them not heavily invest in this year's team, but it would be exciting I suppose.
  13. Tryptamine
    One 1 or 2 year deals or longer ones with opt outs, I 100% do not see them throwing a 5+ year deal without opt outs prior to the lock out
  14. Tryptamine
    Shota also had a season and a half of performance history. With that said, if his velocity being down has nothing to do with injury/mechanics then it's more justifiable.
  15. Tryptamine
    Maybe Rome should catch the ball
  16. Tryptamine
    Short easy answer. No, especially with a lockout coming.
  17. Tryptamine
    Genuinely surprised the White Sox picked up Robert's option, not because I think they shouldn't have, but more I truly believed cheap ass Reinsdorf wouldn't pay it.
  18. Tryptamine
    What is more relevant for what we should expect, The most recent 4 months of data or the months 5 and 6 where a lot of the heavy lifting was done by a guy who is no longer on the team?
  19. Tryptamine
    This is like saying a pitcher who went 6IP 4ER is fantastic because he did enough to get his team the win. No, it was a bad start and the pitcher got bailed out by the offense.
  20. Tryptamine
    I mean excluding the first two months where PCA and Tucker were both playing like MVPs, the Cubs scored the 17th most runs the rest of the year. That sounds pretty mediocre to me.
  21. Tryptamine
    I think you're kidding yourself if you expect them to give out multiple large contracts. Ricketts has made it pretty clear he's not going to spend huge going into what is almost definitely going to be a lockout next year. Also, frankly I don't want them to give a huge haul in a trade until I see them make some moves in FA because right now it's not going to be easy to even get them to the level they were last year and I don't want them throwing assets at mediocrity.
  22. Tryptamine
    You will not have Tucker's bat and going into 2026 assuming you're going to get anything resembling PCA's 2025 numbers is horrible assumption as well. It's also incredibly unlikely you get the same production out of catcher. They're going to need substantial upgrades just to get their offense up to par with last year and it wasn't a very good offense to begin with.
  23. Tryptamine
    That money needed to go to the offense and bench. Now they need to spend the majority of their budget just trying to get back to the mediocre team they were 2/3 of the season.
  24. Tryptamine
    Hate it, absolutely hate it. Way to create a hole in your rotation.
  25. Tryptamine
    I'm going on record, letting Shota go to FA is incredibly moronic for a team that already needed 1 impact pitcher.
