  1. please do not win this horsefeathering game, bulls
  2. welcome to the forum! sweet av
  3. That was like a month and 15 pages ago he was making a trump/fake news joke but it was kind of a swing and a miss
  4. [tweet] [/tweet] edit - the quoted tweet is one by bobby portis joking about how nbc sports spelled his name wrong
  5. and even if we're alive, trump won't be president so i'll be good with whatever Oh boy your in for a real disappointment. I love how the moderators always keep these threads politics free. you think trump is getting re-elected, eh?

  7. the cubs should reply with my signature
  8. Some of the remaining FA are talking about holding their own spring training together. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk Kinda hard to say something like this when the Cubs and Astros have won the last two World Series doing exactly this. He didn't say it's not an effective strategy. He said it's bad for the game. And I don't really disagree. A large portion of the teams are complete trash and aren't making any effort to win.
  9. yes. It's kind of embarrassing. I don't usually go with this media member hates my favorite team take, but he sure seems to dislike the Cubs for some reason. He doesn't dislike the Cubs. He just likes to write articles and Tweets that say nothing about nothing.
  10. http://www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.aspx?position=ALL&teamid=23 I was looking at the non-Yelich/non-Cain portions of their lineup and yeeeeesh. I guess I didn't really realize it was that bad, and none of the projections seem to stand out as being egregiously pessimistic.
  11. The Brewers currently project to finish 17 games behind the Cubs (it probably gets a win or two better with more realistic playing time estimates). That's not Cubs-tainted glasses. That's an unbiased (Steamer, in this case, I think?) projection system. They are not talking about either team like fans of a team projected to be 17 games worse than the Cubs. People think they are adding to an 86 win team, but they're really not.
  12. if you're getting $60ish+M worth of value over the first 3 years pretty comfortably, there's not a lot he has to do over those last two seasons for the contract to be value neutral.
  13. FG is doing odd things with Yelich/Braun/Santana playing time now that Cain is in the picture, but/so they're still at 75 wins http://www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.aspx?position=ALL&teamid=23
  14. yeah if the public/media sentiment is any indication of where their over/under ends up, I love the under.
  15. For me it won't end up being annoying, considering that means we actually signed Darvish. HighHeat said the Yelich trade had a 95% chance of happening yesterday, the same day he said Darvish to the Cubs was done. So Darvish is obviously 100% a Cub. It's like math or something.
  16. see? [tweet] [/tweet]
  17. a little annoyed that the media narrative will probably paint the darvish signing as a response to the brewers getting to like a 76 win projection or something
  18. the brewers were not nearly better than the cubs last year. the cubs are also obviously adding a pitcher. What? They were a young team that had a 5.5 game lead on them at one point. They fell apart at the end of the year. They've added a ton so far, what if they sign Darvish? then they might give the cardinals a run for 2nd place
  19. ahahahahahahaha jam fan gonna jam fan
  20. http://forum.brewerfan.net/viewtopic.php?p=1077763#p1077763 I reiterate just start there and continue on down
  21. Brewer insider said this was 95% happening yesterday
  22. a part and apart would not mean opposite things if English made any sense, but between this and that lebron instagram post, it's driving me nuts how often people horsefeathers that up.
  23. I can't see there being much value in any baseball futures, especially Cubs related ones (bc the amount of people who bet on them). Regular season win totals and such, maybe...anything relying on the playoffs, no thanks. That's not to say there's NEVER going to be value in them (i.e. some team who has an easy road to the playoffs having their WS or pennant odds undervalued, esp if it's a lower tier playoff team)
  24. maybe there is something to this HOF moratorium idea? [tweet] [/tweet]
