Len, CRANE, and theo starting q&a. Question suggestions if I get a chance??
-
Dave Roberts gushing Positive energy loves his players guys wanna play hard for him Weird funeral-ish music playing in background Renteria on vid Hold guys accountable don't bury kids, if you bury then they're focusing on that rather than fixing the issue at hand Advance their. Confidence level Mostly fluff,, some more pandering Executes, hustles, etc. Stop calling us cubs nation rick

No panacea nothing is guaranteed Will get rizzo and Castro back in track One hour in first mentions of shark and welington Theo talks about getting extremely aggressive when it all lines up, interpreting that as more before 2016 season Hasn't done as good a job as he should have at ml level Needed a manger who supports players give hem love and tough love Very confident they found right guy. Wanted somebody who's already made an impact on ml team Renteria vod

Prospect vid BaeZ- sheffie comparison from theo Baez bomb montage Almora - a winner transcendent qualities tremendous feel for game birn to play ball Cj - is apparently black? 95 tremendous cut disappearing fastball Soler - has chance to scare a lot of pitchers bombtage Great idea what he's doing at plate Bryant - born to hit home runs simple approach good athlete for his size can play 3rd or corner of Knows it's frustrating that the big league team sucks. The process!! Pandering Prospects talk about cubs way, playerspeak No such thing as linear development Baseball and business should come together at same time

4 years for 78 years mention Not an accomplishment in and of itself It better work Becomes difficult for fans Don't take commitment for granted References how miserable the last 2 aug/seps were Happy to report progress of farm system almost ahead of schedule (blech) Applause from mention of being a top 3 system by all rankings Says we have 3 of the top 15 prospects in basebakl

Highest taxes in baseball Not getting full money from rooftops Not getting enough money from advertising in stadium Media deals bein below average- biggest concern with this was that the footnote mentioned hat all deals expire in 2019 rather then mention anything about a bump from the wgn deal I guess they're trying to sell he issues but It caught my eye
-
Met with all coaches and scouts when they came in to put all on the same page. Cub way booklet is 350 pages

Theo is here id still go down on him so fast Courage to be patient line -thinks of fans with this line -guilt tripping us talking about how great it is to see a packed house in September against the brewers Best baseball fans In town??? That's not how to pander theo. 35 out of 50 line Swore an oath to hate the cardinals, and it's been really easy so far Young players are loyal, on the upswing etc. Peak age is 27 Avg free agent is 32 References bell curve to a bunch of people who probably don't know what it is Red six built with youth - only way to do it No fa market for young players Only way to acquire impact talent is thru drafts intl and trades Last in ml production from 02-11 drafts Had to fix scouting, developmental programs Scouting -new system established -currency is information Individualize player plans Strengths and weaknesses Guideline for player to develop how they want Review plan withy player accordingly throughout the year

Shockingly took over a half hour to mention wrigley 100 yr anniversary Wrigleyfield100.com to launched in December. Sounds like omc will love it, bunch of history stuff Each home stand will be tied to a decade Every Sunday will be throwbacks?? Didn't quite understand what he said about road unis sound like they may be new? Bobble head Fridays Levy will have food from each decade as well, not sure what this means I'm getting an ugly Wrigley 100 hat that I'll never wear for being here!
-
Wrigley renovations vid package from Len Only thing that was new to me was a patio under the scoreboard, not sure if they would be expanded back or what because there's no room there -new entry gate on Clark -still hyping plaza west of stadium with office tower and hotel -two story merchandise store connects to office with big video boards on outside
-
Claims cubs start every season 40m in the hole due to various factors/math I don't believe.
-
Good lord! They were shipping weights from Chicago to Arizona and back because they didn't have weights in Arizona, this is one of the new developments that they are getting weights for both facilities unbelievable
-
-cubs weight room is really pathetic -really happy to see Castro featured as much as he has been May mean nothing but I'd worry a dump incoming if he was barely seen -Dominican facility looks pretty damn sweet -65000 square feet training facility in Mesa -lol like 95% of the clips have been Castro and rizzo, and I could've sworn I've seen the same Castro clip 3 times in that vid
-
-Analytical system showed breaking down videos in conjunction with a pitch f/x like tool -cubs charities -more fan pandering -Darwin Barney hit a walk off hr last year???
-
Ricketts on vid package says most important thing he can do is hire the right people, Mesa complex focused ok briefly, Dominican facility As well
-
Cubs history video narrated by sinise
-
-Hurricane in Dominican, Chicago politics and rooftop mentioned as obstacles faced -calls 2013 painful -first Baez mention -cubs way -first renteria mention -closer now to World Series than 4 years ago -ricketts placing big bets for big returns...(big bets??? [expletive] you)
-
Len!! will be making an appearance
-
CRANE has arrived!!! Not wearing his jersey but there are a lot of weirdos here who are. Getting that last use of the samardZija jersey while they can I guess
-
-greatest fans pandering has begun -Sosa in video package early -soler bryant and Almora all in minute package
-
Rally this just allows me to keep my thoughts in writing and not clutter up @poortomricketts

Because [expletive] Jesse Rogers I'm more trustworthy
