    The Cubs have scored 1 run in 5 of their last 7 games and 3 runs or less in 10 of their last 12 games.

    Seiya down to .267 after his 0-3 with 2K game today. I know adjustments are coming but please come soon ok

    Feel like Madrigal is rubbing off on Suzuki. Everytime I happen to catch an AB of his he’s down 0-2 in the count

    Fwiw Effross is starting because Smyly went on the bereavement list

    #HugWatch?

    Do people really think he stuffed Hoge in a locker? lol seemed like an obvious giveaway that it was a joke.

    I would literally rather fold the franchise than sit through another run of "ok we snuck in at 10-6 thanks to our defense, oops we got rocked in the playoffs by a team with an elite QB" seasons I don't think that's what he's suggesting. Maybe for this year due to the lack of offensive options, but if the defense can lead them to 10-7 on the back of an easy schedule and an opportunistic defense while Fields shows that he's the guy then this season is a rousing success, especially when you consider how much cap space the Bears would have following the season to go absolutely nuts. That said, I think 10-7 is like a 98th percentile outcome. Almost certainly 7-10 at best, more likely 5-12 or 6-11.

    More revenue to not spend on the team. Good move though https://www.bleachernation.com/bulls/2022/05/02/the-chicago-sky-are-headed-to-marquee-sports-network/

    Asked a friend who is a Utah State fan about him and he said "Fast and not much else. Can't catch for horsefeathers but solid kick returner" Sounds about right for a UDFA, and in line with this draft's theme of speed.

    I think it depends on what's going wrong vs. what's going right. Like right now the starting pitching has been a huge disaster but the rest of the roster has, in aggregate, exceeded expectations. If in July the club has 4-5 black holes while otherwise things look good, that's something Jed can turn around in a winter. But if it's just 1-WAR putzes as far as the eye can see, yeah buckle in for a real rebuild. Seems like the offense in general is trending downwards big time. .228/.319/.333/.652 slash line during this 2-8 stretch and that's including the 21 run outburst. Yes the sample size is too small to say anything definitive but its trending towards the offense not being great either, unless you are seeing something upon digging deeper.

    I think Jed legit thought this would be a ~74 win team this year (unless they gutted at the deadline). Is this still going to be a retool if its clearly trending towards a 100+ loss team in July? Then what do you do especially if Davis is still OPSing under .700 in Iowa?
  12. UMFan83
    A home run? By the Cubs?
  13. UMFan83
    I pretty much stopped watching the Cubs - Suzuki is hitting under .300 now? Really is another Seiya Fukudome Edit: I’m kidding btw
  14. UMFan83
    Here’s some grades on the Bears picks. Grades are stupid but gives a little analysis at least To be fair these are one of those “everyone made great picks” draft grades. Didn’t see a ton of grades below a C
  15. UMFan83
    The Cubs are 2-8 in their last 10 games with a RD of -1 That that was a lot cooler when it was 2-7 with a RD of +9
  16. UMFan83
    Did we win?
  17. UMFan83
    I’ve never seen a teams fans advocate for the firing of a GM who has been here for 3 months but here we are.
  18. UMFan83
    And this is the one guy we actually managed to extend
  19. UMFan83
    You’re right I did not think a rebuild included sabotaging last years 1st round QB I mean literally this was always a risk. It wasn't his guy. If you don’t believe in him trade him while he still has value. If you keep him give him a chance to succeed
  20. UMFan83
    Just pulled a list of top 25 WR in the draft and didn’t see this dudes name
  21. UMFan83
    No but Bears fans demanded a rebuild and a stark change from Pace without realizing what that might mean. You’re right I did not think a rebuild included sabotaging last years 1st round QB
  22. UMFan83
    Trying not to overreact but do they want Fields to succeed?
  23. UMFan83
    Let me get this straight, that pick went from the Lions to Vikings to Packers?
  24. UMFan83
    lol Hub
  25. UMFan83
    he sounded non-committal in his remarks and KC Johnson even said Bulls fans are freaking out, can you give us some indication of where the bulls stand, and his response was equally non-commitattal. That said, I think that's just how zach talks and he doesn't want JR to low ball him. If the Bulls offer him the max he will sign
