    Off topic but I flipped to the fox preseason game for a second an holy wow the new fox graphic is hideous. I don't know how to copy a picture link from twitter on my phone but here is a link to a photo

    It was one of my favorite sports memories ever. Most of the time I forget it's there but every so often I see it in my sig and watch it play on loop 5-6 times.

    The only other guy who likes michigan basketball here dislikes me so I'm guessing it will be a clean sweep. Guess I'll look for something new. Open to suggestions. Edit: whoops I missed that he already replied

    I didn't see what was on the end of page 150 and clicked on 151 to see the first 2 posts and thought that Cutler had suffered a freak injury or something.

    I slightly worry about offensive depth too but it would be far from the first thing is bring up about Bear concerns

    Cubs haven't scored more than 4 runs in a game in their last 10 (assuming they don't get 4 more today). During that stretch they've scored 4 runs once, 3 runs four times, 2 runs twice, 1 or less 3 times. Anyways kind of disturbing as we called up 2 top 30 prospects to join 2 all star hitters and a couple of other hitters that are having surprisingly decent years (Coughlan and Valbuena)

    Rizzo doesn't look good up there. Terrible AB. What's happened to him lately?
  9. UMFan83
    It was enacted originally to protect kids like you ;)

    I gotta stop turning on the TV to see Baez ABs. Everytime I do he strikes out.

    Whoever had Game 13, you are the winner!

    Not to mention it makes Iowa worse in the short term, decreasing their chances of making the playoffs, in turn increasing Solers chances of a call up
  13. UMFan83
    Szczur isn't in Iowas lineup today. Speculation that he is coming up, not Soler
  14. UMFan83
    Dammit Everton. You drew Leicester?

    Isn't Josh Morgan facing a potential suspension from his arrest in the spring? Could be a reason the Bears aren't giving him a shot. Could be way off though. Like the Holmes signing overall. Relatively low rick, high reward potential if he's healthy and out of trouble.

    Alcantara-O-Meter down to .212 Also apparently Alcantara officially lost his prospect status tonight

    Have we always been this strikeout prone or is this another thing we can blame Javy for?
  18. UMFan83
    Javy sure loves him some striking out.

    lets go jaxon b

    Sucks for him. I believe he missed half the 2011 season and the entire 2012 season with injuries and then didnt make whatever team he was with out of camp in 2013.

    The thing that bothered me about the defense was seeing no pressure on 3rd downs. The same kind of [expletive] that killed us last year. That said, they did ok stopping the run, and were able to get several stops at or behind the LOS. that said, although I was bitchin a bit here last night (its what I do) i have a hard time taking anything from preseason when they are running vanilla plays and at 85% intensity. Except special teams. That worries me greatly. Rosenbloom had an article the other day about how DeCamilis' Dallas special teams went from 17th in his last year to 6th without him. The Bears went from top 10 under Toub to 23rd last year with DeCamis. Meanwhile Toub joined a Chiefs team that was 17th in 2012 and took them to 3rd in 2013.

    The fact that he randomly turned a switch when being demoted and turned from a .550 OPS player to a 1.040 OPS player says everything I need to know about Olt and his 2012 numbers. I haven't seen anything about his vision problem this year, no one is making that excuse anymore. The most likely answer is that he just sucks and is a 4A player.
  23. UMFan83
    Geez. I know they wouldn't be taking a lot of these out of the end zone in the regular season but no even adequate returns for the Bears tonight.
  24. UMFan83
    Yes watching Olt smack the ball around with ease, watching Baez do his best Olt impression in Chicago and having Bryant, Soler and Russell not doing much sucks. Edit: before anyone jumps on me I'm not saying Baez is Olt

    Forte has 7 carries for -7 yards in the preseason lol
