  1. You're severely overstating the public's faith in Theo before 2015. And if anything, I think the Bears are getting more credit and attention lately nationally than locally. Aside from jahns, the local media has been lukewarm at best.

  4. i was thinking about sullivan throughout this whole post. he is great in a lot of ways, but he is a major proponent of poking fun of people who read to much into early results but also goes crazy himself with one start of release point, spin, movement, and velocity data. And especially in the case of Sullivan(by far my favorite baseball writer), I get it. Coming up with interesting topics every single day, and in the first week of the season no less, is not easy. It's just a pet peeve of mine that we don't seem to learn from our mistakes. Remember when everyone's velocity was terrible last year and then wait no it was actually the radar system? Or all the other times that velocity went way up/down and it was just a measurement issue or the guy was throwing up the night before and a few days later it was back to normal? I'd just love to see more 'here's a month's worth of material change' on this stuff when for pitchers it seems to always be about 1-2 outings. i thought it was the rest of the league's velo was up and ours was down or something whatever it was i'm pretty sure ours was still bad even after they figured it out
  5. [tweet]https://twitter.com/laurencomitor/status/982336527526170625[/tweet] They can actually play football properly there now.
  6. It will be interesting to see if this pushes us into Ridley I'm damn near positive the Bears will match.

  8. I am happy and enthusiastic in support of Zobrist and Russell's revival, and also not at all interested in either of them getting any additional PAs at the expense of Bryant/Rizzo/Contreras (maybe Schwarber too). yeah, i'd go with Zobrist RF Bryant 3B Rizzo 1B Contreras C Schwarber LF Russell SS Heyward CF Baez 2B
  9. as annoyed as i am with them blowing their draft position, lauri has been playing like a horsefeathering boss lately, so that's nice.
  10. honestly like wat kind of season would it take? if he goes .300/.390/.500 with good for him defense (say 20+DRS), does he opt out? .300/.420/.550? obv i'm just doing this for the fun of talking about it bc there's not a chance in hell Honestly I think he could get top 5 MVP votes and still not opt out. yeah i'm not sure there's a season he could possibly have even on trout or harper WAR levels lmao

  14. i did not realize the park was as empty as it looked when they panned to that foul ball
  15. it always kinda did, even when he was 0 for a billion when he first signed
  16. reading about it doesn't do it justice. You gotta see braun fail live the sheepish embarrassment in his face as lester stared him down was so great
