    i was pretty damn excited in late 2014. it's crazy how different it started to feel with the call ups (alcantara, baez, hendricks, jorge), rizzo turning it around, castro turning it around, and a little ironic that the guy who really kicked that into high gear for me wound up being a complete nothing (soler).

    eh, if they're 6-10 but the defense continues to play very well and trubisky plays competently with these shitty receivers/gameplans, i'll be pretty damn optimistic going into next year with what should be a new offensive minded coaching staff and a lot of cap space to fill in holes. i get that it'd be a little difficult for those things to be true and to still finish 3-6 against this schedule, but with how we tend to draw team into close slop fests, could easily see it.

    it is fair to wonder that, but i still don't expect this watson thing to last. he's made a lot of dangerous throws that he's gotten lucky with, hasn't faced very good pass defenses, and, at least in the kc game, piled up numbers in garbage time. /watson rant i'm fully ready to look like an idiot on this but i'm not giving up yet. i should probably add that i'm heavily biased w/watson bc i tend to always root against winnability guys, especially when it's people touting college winnability (i.e. the tebow supporters early on). if people say "he just knows how to win" about a player, i probably (unfairly) don't like that player but watson has played legitimately well so far.

    Ummm They're 3-4.

    NO NO NO NO NO yes yes yes you've jumped the shark when you're actually trying to debate an objective fact like this. i'm saying the defense was bad to meh for 2 years and now is good in the 3rd. and you're getting all worked up over i have no idea what. please show where i disputed any of this

    meredith could've been a really nice and young WR2 after adding #1 next offseason. that's a really unfortunate injury both for this year and the mid-long term. hope he can recover fully. reminds me a little of what happened with marcus robinson...hope it ends up better.

    Yeah I was definitely not expecting the defensive turn around to be this fast, hopefully they don't go Angelo and wait till these guys are all past their prime to get an offense. I wouldn't call 3 years in, fast. Especially when they haven't improved the offense at all in that time. 3 drafts and 3 free agent seasons is plenty of time to make a unit above average. eh...2 actual seasons (and it all coming together for the defense in the 3rd) doesn't seem like long for a complete overhaul when the key pieces are almost all new and young. but yes the state of the offense leaves a lot to be desired. like thril says, though, we have the RBs, an at least competent line and maybe the QB. it might be as simple as add some WRs and go next year.

    I very much doubt this because I very much doubt either of those pitchers, especially Jake, is in our plans for next year, much less do I think we're basing coaching staff decisions on their wishes.

    the eddie jackson interception reminds me so much of mike brown when TO got alligator arms in 2001

    Hmmm, they WANT us to sign B. Harper lol? Are you horsefeathering kidding me? Do they understand how gigantic a leap in production that would be going from J. Heyward-to-B. HARPER? How dangerous would our lineup be with B. Harper batting #3!?! That's hilarious. Do they also want us to sign M. Machado and J. Donaldson too LMAO? Of course they do, then the Cubs will have no money while only fielding five 5+ win position players to go along with several 2-4 win players. How can you win like that? our farm system will never be elite again

    i can't imagine anyone on the astros is a big enough horsefeathers to be anything but happy for their bench coach getting a managerial job. are you saying you think that the players would be all like TRADER!!!! over their bench coach getting a managing gig?

    The Cohen stuff has kinda been trending that way. Wright still looks like our best WR, low bar and all that that is... Loggains was saying some stuff about how, from his history in Tennessee with him, Wright is best in limited snaps. Seems really dumb when he also obviously is our best WR. I hope that all of this makes more sense in a few weeks and this was their way of easing him in (which I'm not sure is best for him, but it might be) and they open it up more as they go and as they need to.

    What does he say about his pitching philosophy (Hickey) and how he handles pitchers? I also wouldn't mind interviewing M. Maddux and J. Farrell and seeing which one would be the best fit. The job does seem to be Hickey's if he wants it though. Conversation didn't get that deep but yesterday I did post a rays blog post that talked about that a bit.
