    Fulmer again. Rossy really loves his relievers going 2 innings in close games.
  2. UMFan83
    Assad in the 9th maybe?

    Nice work Happer!

    Man it seems so weird to see a LHH hitting a grounder to the spot Barnhardt just did and getting it through the infield. My first thought was "easy out" #byeshift

    Nice job Belli

    I'm also not sure about how their MLB graphics resemble iPhone widgets. I guess its about branding or something but just seems weird

    Such a great bottom of the order
  8. UMFan83
    Yeah its solid but its extremely choppy and slowing down my work computer on the browser lol

    horsefeathers apple TV+. I cant watch the game....even though I'm logged in and have a subscription, it takes me to a screen where I'm supposed to subscribe again?!?! Even though on the same screen it tells me I'm subscribed. I've tried for 3 innings, i give up Edit: Finally after signing in and out 3 times it finally accepted that I am a paid subscriber. Still can't get it going on my phone because the update for the IOS keeps freezing and I'm not sure how to fix that. What a frustrating experience overall

    My phone is still updating....streaming live sports is so awesome. Edit: For some reason something is wrong with updating my phone. Good stuff...guess I'm not watching.
  11. UMFan83
    Damn you Apple TV+, making me update my iOS to watch the game
  12. UMFan83
    I get it...I've said this before but the thing I hate about streaming is the length of time it takes from 'hey I should put the game on' to 'game is on my TV'. Not so bad on the phone but on a smart TV it can take a good 45 seconds....sucks when you want to flip it on quickly in a big situation. The other more annoying thing is the inability to easily flip between shows, which MLB (and MLS) probably considers a feature not a bug, but its a barrier for casual fans to put on. For example, I am a pretty casual MLS watcher, don't follow super closely as a league but keep an eye on the Fire. The other day I saw that they were up 1 in the 90th minute and decided to put it on. But it was also during the final 8 minutes of a close NCAA tourney game. By the time I got the Fire game on, I wanted to flip back to the tourney game and I did and then didn't give a second thought to going back to the MLS game. Nit picking I know, but even if people become more comfortable with the concept of the forced streaming of live sports, I don't see how those issues are solved.

    Everton tried spending blood money to build a Champions League qualifier and it got them into this relegation battle as well as being deep enough into debt that they might get a points deduction 😅
  14. UMFan83
    Rangers are 4-2 but are they really that good? i
  15. UMFan83
    This logic is all fine and well if you ignore the part that they are currently in the Champions League QFs.
  16. UMFan83
    Terrible. I have apple TV+ but its so annoying to access these games, feels like a burden lol
  17. UMFan83
    Don't know much about him but ok. Had 6.5 sacks in 2021 which would have been 2.5 more than any Bear last year. Only 62 PFF grade last year
  18. UMFan83
    Why won't you let us dream of an age 31 breakout year for Wisdom?

    When considering tanking remember the Bulls also don’t have their 2025 1st. Obviously it has protections but there’s a decent chance you lose it. Zach may have managed to rebuild his value and even improve on it after how he’s finished the season. I don’t necessarily want to tank but strongly consider trying to see what you can get for Zach, DeMar and Caruso. The problem is Vucevic, Coby White and Ayo (who has cratered anyways) are 3 additional guys who could bring back worthwhile returns but they are all FA so it would have to be S&T. if they decide to keep going (and they will) I’m really not sure what you do. They keep talking about resigning Vuc which seems ridiculous as it locks them into being a team bumping up against the tax and also leans you let Coby and Ayo go and bring back an even worse team. But if you S+T him what moves are you going to make to get better than a Bulls team with Vuc? This team has legit purposely put themselves in inescapable NBA hell and seems to be proud of it. Only hope is we lose in the play-in and luck into Wemba (currently a 2.2% chance)

    Just hate losing good homegrown offensive players every year. It would be the 4th year in a row (Schwarber after 2020, Rizzo/Javy/Bryant during 2021, Contreras after 2022). I realize this is more of an emotional response than a pragmatic one though.
  21. UMFan83
    Obviously its only 5 games but Happ is starting the season off well (7-16 with 3 XBH and 7 BB). Have to wonder if the Cubs are going to regret not extending him. get that he'll be 29 when he heads into FA and I have no idea what Happ was asking for compared to what Jed was offering, but it would suck to have to deal Happ or lose him for nothing. I could be way off but I just don't see Jed letting Happ get to FA and then resigning him in the open market.
  22. UMFan83
    Damn I just realized we're off tomorrow, so 2 days off and then back to Wrigley.
  23. UMFan83
    Still kind of imbalanced though. 12-14 games against divisional opponents and 6-7 against intraleague opponents (I don't think that changed at all did it?). The interleague is somewhat balanced though.

    You have to request access to social for the time being. it will eventually be made public. Brock usually sees these quickly and will add you. Yeah there's no preview anymore, but most of the stuff that you would use preview for on the old forum are embedded into the text box here. Like if you paste a twitter link it automatically embeds it into the message you are composing, if you try to quote, it creates the quote box, etc.

    Yeah it looks pretty crappy all day. Getting the same 3 straight days of thunderstorms and rain that we are getting.
