    trying not to get overly excited about all the buzz coming out of camp about the tight ends (specifically graham and kmet) given how important that position is, it's no surprise the offense struggled with what they got out of it last year. even mere adequacy at that position would be a huge step up. if mitch could even be 2018 mitch with these guys, the team would be good again. of course, that all also depends on the o-line too.

    i really don't think the brewers had anything to do with anything a - he was right and the brewers were luckboxes b - people are constantly wrong on the internet, especially on sports message boards. nobody cares. he was a smart and respected poster here and i'm sure he was well aware of that. i doubt he felt so much shame that he had to rage quit.

    what gimmick? I guess you dont remember the game threads from 2018 not being a completely insane spaz about individual baseball games isn't a gimmick

    Didn’t realize that many Reds fans disliked him (I know, small sample of fans on the internet). Always thought it was how White Sox fans loved Hawk because he was their guy. They probably deleted a good hundred posts from the thread. There were bonkers defenders. Grade A schadenfreude. ha well horsefeathers. when i clicked the link i was shocked at how progressive they seemed to be about it fairly universally. at that point i figured you posted it for reading all the thom hate, which i'm always here for.

    he might be insanely good now?

    i am quite pleased and frankly surprised after what was coming out of the usual mouthpiece journos lately.

    Every time I see a game thread with a FOX telecast noted I get excited that I'm actually going to get to watch a game...then I tune in and I get the Rangers or Astros. Sad Panda. reddit streams my friend

    Golf thread

    David replied to UMFan83's topic in Other Sports

    i play a golf scramble about once a year (it's a work related event). i am quite bad. i consider myself fortunate if i can get the ball in the air, regardless of what direction it goes. what can i do to be less embarrassingly terrible and just regular terrible?

    we played them and the al central in 2018

    nothing to see here

    Yelich is dog horsefeathers at Wrigley and always has been. I doubt it. Real question, are things like this a coincidence or do batters just not see the ball well in some ballparks but do in other parks? Darryl Strawberry and Pujols come to mind as players who crushed the ball at Wrigley, more so than other parks, even when the Cubs had good pitchers on the mound. Pujols career OPS at Wrigley - 1.004 Pujols career OPS with the Cardinals (before he lowed all his career numbers by being garbage and still playing a ton due to his contract) - 1.037

    They've all tested out negative twice already.

    Yelich was very good before he became a sign stealing cheat which launched him into superstardom but now he's shook without his buddies in the OF and is permanently broken.

    Is there anyone with a lower exit velocity than Almora? I caught his hit out of the corner of my eye last night and immediately knew it came off his bat. Does he even still rake lefties? no he most certainly does not
  17. David
    it's definitely not a crock of horsefeathers and how did they do that? the 2018 team (95 wins) was one game off their pythag (94 wins) btw so i'm not sure how that's even an example of anything
  18. David
    deleted...what was it?

    60 games is the perfect amount of time to replicate the 2016 regular season before whatever the hell that was in late june/early july that year.

    Yep. I guess I was an old school meathead about the DH but I definitely haven’t missed seeing pitchers cluelessly flail at a baseball. it amazes me that you guys had to see the DH to realize it's better COME ON

    suits are awesome and anyone who wants to wear one should wear one whenever they want but having them forced on people is lame

    All games. What do the White Sox have to do with anything? So I guess I'm confused the the "higher ups in New York". I thought Omar was referring to all games, not just Cubs games. Why are the higher ups in NY dictating what the Cubs announcers wear if it's not league mandate? clunky wording by me based upon having seen this report in passing https://awfulannouncing.com/local-networks/marquee-sports-network-making-len-kasper-jim-deshaies-wear-tie-shirts-coats-90-degree-heat.html

    crappy mandate from network higher ups in new york who want these to look like national broadcasts All games or only select games? Because the WS team is wearing polos for their broadcast. All games. What do the White Sox have to do with anything?
