    The other option is Jordan Wicks sooo....

    Yeah, they may not have the most injuries, their position players have actually been remarkably healthy (blame me when they start going down), its the fact that all of their injuries seem to be concentrated on the starting rotation (and some bullpen) is wild and more damaging than a team that might have their injuries spread out amongst different positions.

    At the end of the day, I'm not sure the Bulls are heavily tanking but they likely don't care if they win this year. If they do, great, but they aren't going to try to fill all the holes on the roster in one offseason. I like they are going BPA and adding assets. We'll see what they do in FA or with those 2nd round picks but as skeptical as I am about anything Bulls related, I'm willing to wait to see how it all plays out with a new FO. One thing that bothered me but probably shouldn't was seeing Pax in the war room last night. No idea how much influence he has on roster decisions, if any, but just a reminder that you can make sweeping changes but some guys will seemingly never leave the Bulls entirely.

    Not a bad thing for his arm to get a rest since he's a critical piece of the team going forward, but obviously horrifically bad timing for that. Rotation is now.... Shota, Boyd, Rea, Assad, Velasquez. Damn
  5. UMFan83
    Oh yeah. That was peak 2006 Cubs
  6. UMFan83
    Are they saying because he slid past the bag he was considered attempting to advance past 2nd? I’ve never heard of that happening.

    Ho hum 2 more walks for PCA, now passed his career high in June
  8. UMFan83
    Awful. Not that we have other options but he’s actively hurting the team.
  9. UMFan83
    Always just a little bit better when it comes against the team that gave him to us for 2 months of Javy

    1) I know what it feels like to get a 0-0 draw against England 2) I know what its like to get a disappointing result against Ghana 3) I know what it feels like for a player to have the ball come to them right in front of the net and sky it in the dying minutes of a scoreless game This game really speaks to me as a USMNT fan
  11. UMFan83
    Fair. I liked him because he was the best player for my team but there were definitely several moments from him or things that he said where I cringed. But I do see a lot of that Michigan team crediting him for being a leader behind the scenes and bringing the team together. But those leadership traits aren't going to shine as much in the NBA because he will likely be a role player. I'd be happy if the Bulls took him because he's a Michigan guy but I think the Bulls are better off going with younger talent with higher ceilings and Yax is better off with a better team where he can slide in somewhere and fit with the established culture in place. I mean the Thunder would be perfect IMO.

    Definitely excited to see what happens. I cannot believe what a disaster the org was the previous 5 years or so
  13. UMFan83
    I'll believe it when I see it. The ownership is still the penny pinching slow moving idiots that put the org in this place. But yes competency in the FO and HC could overcome that for the time being. Lets hope.

    Having Messi and Mbappe go back and forth scoring goals on the same day is amazing.
  15. UMFan83
    they're apparently working on hiring him as "interim coach". Not sure how you work to hire an interim coach, I would have thought you just appointed one, but I'm guessing its to prevent that 15 day portal window opening until they've made a decision and probably gives him special consideration for the job and prevents him from being poached.
  16. UMFan83
    Do you think that because teams have spent their NIL allotments? Because I'm pretty sure the portal still opens up for a specific time period after a coach leaves (have a lot of experience with this as a Michigan football and basketball fan) This is gutting. I wouldn't trade what happened last year for anything, those are lifetime memories and while there's no guarantee Michigan will go back to being a middle of the conference Big Ten team, it seems much less likely that they'll have a season anything close to last year any time soon.
  17. UMFan83
    Then not sure what you missed, that was an entertaining game.
  18. UMFan83
    I don't think it's raining at Wrigley yet. Craig has to be pissed, though he knew what he signed up for.
  19. UMFan83
    Probably one of the worst losses of the season. You can’t blow a 5 run lead in the 7th ugh
  20. UMFan83
    Seiya and Happ are a combined 12-51 at getting a runner home from 3rd with less than 2 outs
  21. UMFan83
    Bases loaded 0 outs and your 2-4 hitters due up and they get 1 run on a groundout. Good work
  22. UMFan83
    Really needed to get that 7th run home from 3rd but shockingly Seiya failed
  23. UMFan83
    A couple of weeks ago Webb was one of the few guys I trusted out of the pen. But after today he's given up runs in 4 of his last 5 appearances (the one appearance he didn't he pitched 0.1 IP) and has a 15.75 ERA during that span
  24. UMFan83
    This team just doesn't have enough to truly compete. Pitching staff is held together with glue
  25. UMFan83
    Cubs pen gave up 8 runs in 1.1 IP wow
