  1. Watch Tice keep running the ball every other down while getting blown out.
  2. What a fraud this team is. They can beat up on the scrubs but put them against a good team and they suck.
  3. Nicolino and Marisnick are very good prospects. Hechavarria is incredible defensively but that's about it. Jays didn't give up any of D'Arnaud/Sanchez/Syndergaard which is surprising.
  4. Seriously, Bud needs to get that team away from Loria.
  5. MLB needs to do something because Loria just completely screwed that entire town and the players.
  6. I'm so tempted to go read it, but at the same time I know that if I do I'm just going to end up annoyed and losing that much more faith in humanity.
  7. I highly doubt that. You think we'll give a 32 year-old with his injury history an extension? I don't think giving him 2-3 years after this year would be all that unrealistic. I mean it's unrealistic to expect him to pitch particularly well before the trade deadline coming off his surgery, so banking on that to make him a worthwhile trade target doesn't make much sense.
  8. I don't see this one as a flip at the deadline. I see this deal as an audition where if Baker pitches well the Cubs extend him. Given how unlikely it is that a guy coming off TJS is going to pitch well in the 1st half, that's the impression I get.
  9. And that's really the only difference between their current or age-similar values. It's a big one, but not big enough to justify both of those statements being true. Castro's bat is also viewed in a much brighter light going forward is it not?
  10. I've been saying this for a while. The guy is only under contract for 2 years at which point he's going to require a huge contract. He plays corner outfielder which is one of the easiest positions to add an impact bat. He's coming off a merely OK year. His home OPS is .200OPS above his away OPS. Plus there's always rumors of chronic shoulder issues. He's still a very good young player, but not giving multiple top prospects for that.
  11. Texas already said they aren't trading Andrus for Upton. 1) Whoops, didn't see that 2) Why the hell not? No clue, I mean Andrus is obviously very good but when you have Profar he's expendable. My only thought is maybe Profar goes to 2B because Kinsler's name has been floated as a trade candidate. I also read something where Kinsler was mentioned as going to the outfield.
  12. Texas already said they aren't trading Andrus for Upton.
  13. The Cubs suck really really really bad. They have indicated a complete lack of interest in acquiring current major league free agents. They have told us over and over that the only way they will get better is by investing heavily on prospects, both foreign and domestic, and they've come up short in that regards. How do you not understand this? How are you not understanding that getting a 1/3 of their targets is still excellent? It's ridiculous to expect them to get every single target. They were the high bidder on Puig, and they supposedly weren't even given a chance to match the A's offer to Cespedes.
  14. That may be the first time I've ever seen a check down two minute drill.
  15. Campbell you are an incredible [expletive].
  16. Campbell has no balls what so ever. Keep checking it down you putz.
  17. If you do it during an offensive penalty your team doesn't even lose yardage on your cheapshot; there's no downside at all.
  18. There is zero excuse for him to be on this team tomorrow. If he can't block then he sure as hell be able to catch and he can't even do that.
  19. Get him off this [expletive] team tonight.
  20. Quit checking down, jesus christ.
  21. Podlesh absolutely sucks this year.
  22. What was the point of the pass Campbell?
  23. Bears doing absolutely everything possible on offense to avoid winning.
  24. Nope, it's 3 and long or nothing cause that's how Tice rolls.
