    Man Forte just can't get anything going so far this preseason.
  2. UMFan83
    These special teams are freaking pathetic, preseason or not.
  3. UMFan83
    He might play into the 3rd
  4. UMFan83
    Great quarter
  5. UMFan83
    Bears offense is going to run 3 plays in the first quarter
  6. UMFan83
    The defense hates Jay
  7. UMFan83
    So Weems runs into his own man and doesn't get to the 20 on his first return and then fumbles the ball away on his second. NEXT
  8. UMFan83
    Special teams and defense. Glad we kept the coaching staff in tact
  9. UMFan83
    3rd down, no pass rush, wide open WR for 20 yard gain. Am I watching tape from last year? Seriously absolutely no pass rush. It's preseason so whatever but come on it's the Jags!
  10. UMFan83
    Oh, we're doing this already.
  11. UMFan83
    Gaaah. It didn't seem that bad though. Probably precautionary.
  12. UMFan83
    I am enjoying this start

    He's been an injury prone pitcher with inconsistent results throughout his career. He's having his first extended stretch of success. We have a fair bit of control remaining. I'd let it ride unless "reasonable" was "too good to refuse" The issue is that Boras is his client. What Jake/Boras is saying is "reasonable" might not be reasonable to the Cubs. At the same time, if we let him ride out his control, we will probably never pay him beyond that if he pitches like he's pitching now. I'd give it one more year and if he's pitching at even 90% of the level he is now, then lock him up.
  14. UMFan83
    So according to Wittmeyer Arrieta is open to a "reasonable" extension. Do we need to see more, or do we lock him up as soon as we can?
  15. UMFan83
    Who would you rather have for the next 5 years: Hendricks or Arrieta?
  16. UMFan83
    I hate that Rizzo, Alcantara and Baez aren't hitting all that well at the same time.
  17. UMFan83
    Admittedly don't catch many ABs but man if all of them are like that, Baez will never walk. It looks like he's just guessing up there.
  18. UMFan83
    Yeah but only if you don't request before the deadline in March and only if you aren't changing teams.
  19. UMFan83
    Looks like James Russell still can't get lefties out
  20. UMFan83
    Would it beat a team of players the Bulls were favorites to land? Nobody could beat the Bulls FA 2nd place finishes. They are the dream team of FA 2nd place finishes. PG: LeBron James SG: Kobe Bryant SF: Carmelo Anthony PF: Kevin Garnett C: Chris Bosh BN: Dwyane Wade, Kevin Love, younger Pau Gasol
  21. UMFan83
    Fun fact: We've gone 3-1 in our last 4 Jaxon A+B starts, with 4 quality starts

  23. UMFan83
    He's going to be the best of them all. This is why I was wondering why everyone was so down on him in the offseason. The dude just oozes talent. If he can stay on the field he's a top 10 prospect IMO possibly top 3
  24. UMFan83
    We've played 19 extra innings of baseball over our last 12 games and counting
  25. UMFan83
    Really good defensively, making a reasonable amount of contact. .288 BABIP is probably a smidge low for his skill set. But he's not going to hit for huge average. He's going to draw walks, hit for average power, run the bases well, and play good defense. Thanks. I obviously know BA is not any sort of legit measuring stick but I didn't make the effort to look up the full statistical breakdown. 4-5 wins is excellent
