  1. Yeah, that's extremely embarrassing.
  2. me too, though we keep falling on 247 with JE. As much as i'd love to have Evans, Thomas is much more important to this class now that Coleman is in the fold. Although if Thomas commits, I can't see how Evans wouldn't want to follow suit.
  3. I'm feeling really good about our chances with Thomas.
  4. Would have been especially great back in the day. how many scholarships do we still have open? With Abrams coming back for another year, just one, but they'll go over if they have to.
  5. Coleman and Jordan in the same lineup should be fun.
  6. I've got a pretty well-connected buddy that corroborated the Jalen Coleman rumor, and Groce is definitely down in Texas with Evans today. I hadn't heard the part about Thomas being present as well.
  7. Why does this happen when I do a search for Kyle Hendricks? This can't be a good sign. http://i.imgur.com/ZYmqbX0.png
  8. I don't doubt that some of these insiders have info, but I've learned to take it with a huge grain of salt. By the time it makes it's way to the message boards, all the inside info has been interpreted by several people with UI bias.
  9. He's calling out the Cubs organization for Olt playing at KC against the Brewers affiliate too. Tom, your bitter is showing. LOL wut Olt is playing A ball? He's on a rehab assignment.
  10. thanks for the continuous updates on this. appreciate all your work.
  11. i hope he runs meh. that works too.
  12. Nothing to show for it, but some really good plate appearances this inning.
  13. I hope Castro hits a home run today and admires the [expletive] out of it.
  14. Repeatedly? Please find me all of the long singles that would have been doubles if he hadn't wasted time admiring them. http://www.fangraphs.com/spraycharts.aspx?playerid=4579&position=SS&type=battedball&pid2=4579&ss1=2014&se1=2014&ss2=2014&se2=2014&cht1=hangtime&cht2=hittype&vs1=ALL&vs2=ALL
  15. Huh? Is he invisible to the camera or something? When he screws up it's on TV just like Castro's. Yep, he's on TV all right. But again, they're not nearly as obvious. Rizzo's never been isolated on camera making his mistakes like Starlin. Rizzo: http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110304192215/arresteddevelopment/images/d/d0/Buster_at_the_Milford_School.JPG
  16. But he's the adopted brown kid and biff can make the same mistakes without getting yelled at. That's because he's Biff. He's not our kid. And if he was, he doesn't have the potential Starlin has. Uhh, Rizzo is ours too. Sorry I didn't make the biff=Rizzo connection right away. Then I'll simply say biff's screw-ups aren't as painfully as obvious as Starlin. And that's a huge part of the problem. Starlin does have a way of making his mistakes stand out like a sore thumb. Rizzo's mental lapses get glossed over because many people don't even see them. Why don't people see them? They're just as visible. It's just that people don't catastrophize them the way they do with Castro's.
  17. 2008 I don't remember him from then. Just remember Plesac, Gail Fisher, and Otto doing all things Cubs. Was his role more limited? I think that's when he took over for Jiggets on Chicago Tribune Live. Don't think he was doing much else for them right off the bat.
  18. Even other sports media types on twitter are calling him out for being a lunatic tonight. David Kaplan @thekapman · 1h You're not that dumb. That play was BS. RT @desipiodotcom: Stop. Just. Stop. People [expletive] up. It happens. Hell, you broadcast yours all day. Gordon Wittenmyer ‏@GDubCub 39m @thekapman Dude, chill. Not to defend, but that over-the-top approach on a per-play basis would leave about 100 guys in the big leagues.
  19. Even other sports media types on twitter are calling him out for being a lunatic tonight.
  20. He's not a power hitter. I wasn't comparing him to other shortstops, because he's a terrific offensive shortstop, so maybe that was bad phrasing? Either way you don't stand there and admire a ball to the deepest part of the field when you're a 15 homer guy. It has nothing to do with earning it or anything like that, you just have to know you're not a 420 foot homer guy so there is no way that's a no doubter. OK. Just making sure frustration over a boneheaded play tonight wasn't causing anyone to lose sight of Castro's ability. 3rd among qualified shortstops in SLG and OPS. Not a light-hitting shortstop. Not even close.
  21. Starlin Castro is a light-hitting shortstop?
  22. I enjoy Spiegel. Enjoyed Mac at times. I like Bernstein when he has someone on that will challenge some of what he says...Boers never does that. i disagree. Bernstein is at his best when he has a hype-man like Boers backing him up. he really gets the meatballs in a lather. and yes, if you don't like Bernstein, you're a meatball, sorry. Can't I just dislike him for being a smarmy [expletive] and a terrible radio personality even if he's right sometimes? Exactly. And he's not right as often as he likes to think he is.
  23. Holmes might be the only one on the Score that I actually enjoy, but I only listen while I'm in my car, so having a tolerable option for the morning drive would be pretty nice. Mike & Mike are just okay, and they get stuck on one topic for what seems like weeks at a time. MLB Network Radio has Hollandsworth and Memolo, so they talk a lot about who doesn't hit well enough with RISP. I've been going with NFL Network Radio lately, which actually isn't bad, but a decent local option would be nice.
