    Shoving the quarterback when he's already out of bounds on 3rd and long falls into the stupid/poorly coached category Yeah, but getting sliced up pretty good by the 49ers offense outside of that play also happened. But the comment you responded to was in response to that play.

    They also have a lot of bad football players. This game looks super losable so far. I haven't been paying really close attention to draft position, but that can only help. Shoving the quarterback when he's already out of bounds on 3rd and long falls into the stupid/poorly coached category

    This team is so poorly coached and stupid

    The Cubs falling short on facilities? I don't buy that. We have state of the art home facilities now and the spring training complex is huge and like 3 or 4 years old.

    http://gatewayredbirds.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1793415#p1793415 i just thought this post was funny because we're the ones getting harper and ohtani (ok probably not but it's more likely than the yankees signing all three of those guys) and that should probably concern that poster much more. more like can you imagine if the team that's won like 295 games and a world series over the past 3 seasons that also happens to be our biggest divisional rival gets harper and ohtani?

    Apparently, morosi was on MLB Network and basically said to keep an eye on the Cubs/don't rule them out on ohtani [tweet] [/tweet]

    with all the weird/unexpected preferences he seems to have, watch him end up on the reds or something

    I mean, it's not like it's an AAV...just a signing bonus.

    Where in the horsefeathers have you been? Our president literally insults every person he meets. If youre thinking or expecting anything at all you are doing it wrong man this guy is always saying some off the wall horsefeathers lmao
  17. David
    I mean, that's pretty much already established. The jump from the cap money to the penalty money is a pittance of a pittance compared to what he's already giving up (barring catastrophic injury). Like others have mentioned, given what he's going to be making, the majority of his money will probably come from endorsements anyway. My worry isn't so much a money issue directly but that we can't just decide to offer more than other teams...but then again, that's probably not the worst thing on a player we'd definitely be competing with the Dodgers and Yankees on.

    I will always have an irrationally (?) high level of faith in Theo's ability to do whatever the horsefeathers he wants.
  19. David
    Wouldn't that mean something didn't give?

    It only now occurred to me that a generation of people exists who would reference groundhog day due to the way it's been regularly referenced since and not have ever actually seen the movie

    I haven’t even seen the reports or am reading them very differently if we are reading the same stuff. Most of the perceived value in geography based on the speculation seems to be the Japanese population in a given city but there is not a single quote from Ohtani or a rep over years and years where this is or will be a factor. Also overrated as a factor is the bat. He is a pitcher. That is where the long term money is, but even beyond that he has always been a pitcher. Any and every team will give him a chance to hit, but as a LHH with swing and miss in his game he’s not sliding into anyone’s everyday lineup. The hitting issue has nothing to do with his value or the value of his bat. It's his strong preference (if not insistence) to play somewhere he'll be allowed to hit regularly. That's a promise that'll probably at least have to be made until he at least proves not worthy of it. It's not about teams seeing value in the bat or how bad he might be at it. It's about his preference for it being a determining factor in deciding where he signs.
