All of the old Cubs.com people, remember that guy that faked his death by pretending to be his own brother going online to say goodbye after he had drowned in a boating accident? Then he showed up a couple months later to say it was research for a paper he was writing for a psychology class. Good times. this happened on a baseball message board i used to visit as well, appropriately named baseball.com. the dude was dating another poster on the site and roped her into it to post that he died in a car accident. it was bizarre. and then he came clean a few days later and everyone just kind of forgot it even happened.

i thought it was about that michael chiklis show -
Can we please have an off season without people thinking of Teheran as an attractive target? I don't really like him but a Happ for him or Folty + Inciarte intrigues me a bit. I’ve been a big fan of Enciarte as an option for the top of the order for a few years. Good (although not stellar) OBP, strong contact skills, and a positive on the base paths to go along with good fielding. Super team-friendly contract too. Not sure the Braves are inclined to deal him though.

Did Roy Halladay just die in a plane crash?

horsefeathers. this sucks. -
Not necessarily. Could be that a finalist doesn't make the playoffs. Could be that the finalist is on the other side of the playoff bracket. Could be that the finalist is on your team. This year the Nationals and Dodgers faced a finalist in zero of their NL playoff games. Valid points. How many Cy Young finalists are there? 3. Last year, Kluber was the only Cy Young finalist the Cubs faced throughout the playoffs. In 2015, they faced zero.

I have a hard time blaming Theo for signing a 26-year old position player that had already accumulated nearly 28 WAR to a big deal. It just didn't work. What's the point of pinning blame?
-
good lord, no. and what is with this idea that Russell needs to prove his defense? he led the NL in DRS in a shortened season.

i horsefeathering hate that theriot has two world series rings

lol that's amazing. he throws like 7 pitches. lou cannellis is literally always wrong.

yeah, I feel bad for THT that the situation played out like it did. But Underwood made the right decision in a tough situation. The official visit probably shouldn't have happened, but we don't know the exact timeline of when conversations took place. Underwood and Chin Coleman probably felt confident they could sort things out. But, given the ultimatum, of course you take Ayo. And THT will be just fine at ISU. If Underwood's offense does what it's supposed to, he'll have no problem drawing talent to champaign.
-
well, that's a bit much.
-
Wait - what happened there? Someone else can correct me, because Illinois boards are pretty unbearable on days like today so I only spent a minute or two reading, but: From what i gather, Ayo and THT are former AAU teammates. THT felt overshadowed, changed AAU teams to get more exposure. Certain parties, which may or may not have included Ayo (but definitely the AAU coaches), took exception and there was some animosity. Things seemed patched up, THT took an official visit to UI last weekend, and most experts were predicting him to choose Illinois tonight. A few hours before the announcement, Illinois pulled their offer based on pressure from the AAU coaches. THT committed to ISU. At least, that's what I gathered, and I'm not sure how much of that is verified information. tl;dr AAU coaches are slime. Here's a story on what happened: https://www.suntimeshighschoolsports.com/2017/10/26/why-illinois-passed-on-simeons-talen-horton-tucker/

yeah, that whole THT situation is a mess. Nice get for ISU since he's apparently not allowed to come to Illinois. Wait - what happened there?

And you probably get better gals than us too! joke's on him a poster on this message board had sex just last week

This is where we disagree. He's not. And as good as he is, he has flaws and he can get better. As many 24-25 year olds do. Even Barry Bonds or Mike Trout. And I'm not sure coaching is the answer. But how are you guys so sure coaching isn't the answer? The Cubs fired Bosio when you'd think Arrieta alone would've been worth some job security. And the historic 2016 pitching season. And I love it how everyone likes to use the word "meatball" so freely to describe any opinion that differs from theirs. And ridicule their opinions. This is so horsefeathering condescending and disdainful. God, how annoying is it when people throw around the term "meatball" here. Some people think they are so horsefeathering smart on an internet message board. For all I know, you guys who like to call other people meatball live in your parents basement. I know I don't. everyone get a load of the meatball.

As far as specific names, I have no clue. I don't follow baseball closely enough to have specific names. Heck I can probably only name two hitting coaches in baseball, and that would just be guessing ex-cub coaches and Jacque Jones. Teams that I think have a good approach from what I've seen, the Astros, Brewers, Dodgers, Diamondbacks, Indians. But those are for the most part, just really good offenses with really good players. Again, I think the Cubs are in good hands, I just also think there might be room for improvement (see above). the brewers rank in the bottom half of baseball in every meaningful offensive category except BB%, where they're 11th. let's cross them off the list of teams to emulate.
-
i mean, this isn't really an example of why you don't build a team through free agency. heyward was a 26-year-old coming of 6.1 and 5.1 win seasons the previous two years. he just fell apart.

it gets even better in 2019 when you add harper to the mix.
