Respectfully, Tom, can you take this horsefeathers to Reddit or something? Or like, start a separate Tom-only mega thread where you can post your musings that the rest of us can ignore? The interjections of the same rant you’ve been beating this entire board over the head with for months (years?) are beyond obnoxious at this point.
I think it was Biggs that mentioned on the Score this morning Eberflus’ plan for Williams during the preseason will be dependent on what members of the OL are healthy and available in a given week. Seems like a sound enough approach to me. If starters get dinged up and they’re resorting to practice squad guys, play it safe. Otherwise, put Caleb out there.
Caught a clip of Danny Parkins adamantly arguing with Bernstein that Derrick Rose will eventually be inducted into the NBA HOF. I truly don’t understand how anyone can possibly defend this take.
There’s also this for those that don’t have a PS console:

Dainja, Rodgers, and Goode to varying degrees as well. Agreed in general, but it’s quite a bit more extreme this year, especially when you consider DGL, one of the two returnees, averaged just 7 mpg last year.
Illini just landed 2025 5-star Canadian wing Will Riley, who will reclassify to 2024 and be on campus in a few weeks. Fun collection of talent Brad & co. Have reeled in. It’ll be interesting to see how the team gels with only two returning players.
I didn’t try that hard tbh.
3/28 - 4/16 1.073 OPS over 66 PAs, 27% strike out rate.
4/17 - 5/26 .570 OPS over 116 PAs, 40% strike out rate.
5/28 - 6/19 1.008 OPS over 56 PAs, 27% strike out rate
I honestly don’t really see what they have to sell that would make them worse than they’ve already been. They can trade Robert, but he’s missed all but eight games so trading him doesn’t make the team *worse* than their season to date.
There was a Rosenthal article yesterday that the Padres are interested in Crochet. He’s got 3.5 years left of control left, though, so I could see them preferring to hang onto him.
Erick Fedde is their third and final trade asset of any consequence.
It’s dire.
Yeah, I canceled my marquee subscription yesterday. Not in a fit of anger or boiled over frustration or anything like that. Just general boredom with the product on the field.
i don’t know. It’s paid for for a couple more weeks. Maybe I change my mind. But this os a wholly unenjoyable baseball team right now.
we actually got clarity on two rules here:
- the three batter rule does not apply after a rain delay
- Pat Hughes must remain on the shitter for the duration of a rain delay that occurs in the 5th inning
