Yeah - that was on the scheme or the receivers. He was a bit off on the 2nd down throw, though. It wasn't a terrible throw and the defender made a good play. But it's a td if it's more outside.
-
Fields looks really good on this drive
-
The Pacific Ocean is very large. It's still a very long flight. It's not really that different than flying from Chicago.

2024 MLB Draft Thread
Tim replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I'm just glad it wasn't the Cards that moved up. The Reds will find a way to Red it all up. -
Let's take a look...hold on a second. --- edited to add Yep, moved up by quite a bit. I think it was still higher on on the last system, but there's also a couple chunks of time that are missing from the history. This is certainly closer for my total.
-
This is overly dramatic. They (everyone referenced) want those players on the Cubs. They simply want the first half of their careers, not the second half.
-
Can you at least use 1OA instead of 10A? TenA makes no sense. 1 O(ver)A(all) at least has some meaning.
-
What's wrong with 1:1?
-
It is if you type "ten" A, which is what you did.

Going somewhere, Soto? Yes, to the Yankees
Tim replied to Bobson Dugnutt's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I'm curious if you acknowledge that he's being shopped by San Diego yet. -
Yoshinobu Yamamoto to...the Dodgers? Really? Again?
Tim replied to UMFan83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Yes - and the moral of that story is that Jed may be trying to emulate that approach, which has been extremely successful for a large market team. But it takes patience while getting the prospects to mature and you can't have a bunch of payroll tied up in aging players once they do. I'm not saying I 100% agree with the approach, but I do think Hoyer has sold Ricketts on the idea of building slowly, picking the "right" guys to invest in, and spending most of your payroll on pre-prime and prime players and as little as possible on post-prime guys. -

I was thinking the same about Houston. I can't remember the last time they dipped into the top end of the FA pool, either. -

Well, some were arguing that going from Ross to Counsell is worth eight wins right there! (I don't agree, it's just a joke) -
lol - I even typed it as 10 A
-
I'm pretty sure it refers to first player of the first round (or 1-1). But I haven't a clue why it would be referred to as 10A. I hadn't ever seen that up until recently, but now I see it regularly.
-
I've been seeing this lately, and I know what it refers to, but why the hell call it 10A?
-
You can't just separate the cost entirely, though.
-
Tom, the reaction you get is much more about the attitude (and the snark) than it is about the contrary opinions. I don't know about everyone else, but I like that you make me think about guys like Murray and Gallardo. We don't have to agree - and in many ways it is better if we don't.
-
Shaw was on a 60+SB / 162 pace in his first season in the minors. Stolen bases aren't a be-all measurement of "plodding" defenders, but he's absolutely got a decent amount of athleticism and quickness to his profile.
-
Can you show any reference for him being a "plodder" relative to most 3B?
-
I'm pretty sure his arm is better than Madrigal's.
-
That's still how a lot of deals get done.
-
Ha - I asked for clarification and you doubled down.
-
I've been assured by CubinNY that Young's not going to be as good as Drew Brees - he's going to be significantly better! Good god I should have bet money on that.
