  1. Also I know the underlying numbers don’t quite back up Assad’s performance the last three years, but I really like watching him pitch. I feel very at ease with him on the mound. Seems to mix things up well. Seemed like last year he’d give a random 6-8 inning start exactly when the pitching staff needed it. i don’t know if his future is swing man/sixth starter or back of the rotation fixture, but he’s a super useful arm.
  2. The Cubs have a nice track record of trading for 1Bs who horsefeathers the bed in their first go around in the majors.
  3. OJ Simpson died
  4. This is definitely one way to say Mervis is off to a nice start.
  5. Looking forward to a rotation of Steele-Imanaga-Taillon-Wicks-Horton in the second half.
  6. A rain delay doom boner that would make Aramis Fan blush
  7. Yeah I had no idea it had offensive connotations.
  8. Yeah, it’s a macro roster construction issue, not today’s in-game decision specifically, that bothers me.
  9. Counsell is playing with the hand he’s been dealt. Taking Wicks out was the right move. The problem is, all of our middle inning guys, outside of Smyly who pitched almost three innings yesterday, have a tendency to lose the plate.
  10. I’m going to need more than 6 IP to counteract his 2023 12.1 BB%.
  11. I’m not saying they should’ve left Wicks in, but it doesn’t take a psychic to predict Cuas is going to be wild.* *This is not an anti-Counsell sentiment. It’s an anti-Cuas sentiment.
  12. Cubs have the 3rd best winning pct in the NL (and in the NL Central).
  13. I really hope this FT shooting doesn’t come back to bite the Illini. What the hell.
  14. There’s a decent chance they get a compensatory 4th for Mooney too, which would bump them to ten picks (their full slate of picks, Carolina 2nd, comp 4th, Pittsburgh’s 6th). Fully agree there’s no need to “restock the cupboard” this year, especially when the cupboard is only lacking is late round picks.
  15. 19 horsefeathers years in between Sweet Sixteens. I was a senior in high school and had just decided to attend Illinois before their run to the finals in ‘05. Never in my wildest 17-year-old dreams would I have thought they wouldn’t make it through the first weekend again for nearly two decades. Feels good.
  16. JMU deserves a ton of credit. Their defense was relentless. Active hands on every play. 14 steals. Wisconsin looked out of sync on offense all game but JMU’s aggressiveness was a huge factor.
  17. They are so bad at defending against screens. It’s extremely frustrating to watch.
  18. Loyola 2021 is the one that always sticks out in my head. Moser thoroughly out coached BU. There were certainly others in the past too. The Achilles heel for this year’s team is really just defense. With TJ and Hawkins, a mobile big-bodied big in Dainja, and a high motor player in Rodgers, defense shouldn’t really be an issue. But as a team, they disappear for long stretches.
  19. What games stand out to you this season where BU didn’t make adjustments? Genuinely curious as I wasn’t able to watch a ton of games this year, but from what I did watch he seemed to lean on the versatility of the roster to adapt on the fly. I’d agree that it was an issue in previous seasons but I wonder if that had more today with the limitations of his roster. With prominent players like Kofi (lived on the paint on both sides), Curbelo (turnovers), Trent (offense would completely disappear for entire games), you couldn’t take them off the floor, but there were certain things Underwood just had to live with.
