    I would imagine so. I believe I saw that if Chicago stays in Phase 4 Wrigley can operate at 20% capacity. I think the big question would be whether the rooftops would be treated like an extension of Wrigley or like you said like a bar/restaurant. lightfoot already said that chicago won't allow it (20% at wrigley/major venues) for the foreseeable future
  2. David
    does anyone think the cubs might try to run the rooftops? can they pass it off as a bar/restaurant and run it under those guidelines?

    It was more than just sheer laziness. I was at a stoplight and I knew I could always count on you for something like this lol You typed two separate sentences including punctuation in a stoplight post? Put the phone down you negligent homicidal maniac. lmao. voice to text. that's why there's actually some capitalization and stuff.

    I shouldn't reward such sheer laziness lol, but 42-18. I have to assume that this was their best 60 game stretch of the year too given the 25-6 start. It was more than just sheer laziness. I was at a stoplight and I knew I could always count on you for something like this lol
  5. David
    How did the 2016 team do through 60 games? Just curious, and too lazy to try to look it up right now
  6. David
    Yes. It would appear all the things that were in the rejected agreement are happening anyway except for the 16-team playoffs. The universal DH for this year was agreed to a long time ago. I think the justification had something to do with having fewer reasons to burn through a pitching staff with the complications this season presents. The universal DH for 2021 is what we lost (unless that has since changed today and I missed that).

    oh my god i completely forgot that we're going bryzzo at the top. seems like so long ago. hell yes, these lineups fornicate.

    i really don't have much concern that ross or this FO (as much as Theo likes Almora) will sabotage this season by allowing almora or some other trash hitters wreck the top of our order (or use it to "get guys out of slumps") theo likes albert's makeup and, yes, talked up his swing changes but he's not an idiot

    don't care about ads, don't care about trying to keep long games from happening in this weirdo season, on the fence on expanded playoffs, and hate not having the universal DH for 2021 (but do still have it this year at least) easy net negative for me
  10. David
    But will we, really? If the Cubs win the World Series in a drastically-shortened season, and do it with no fans in the stands, will that feel at all special? I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around appreciating such an accomplishment. yes it'll feel horsefeathering great to win another world series now, if this were the curse buster, different story. that would suck. it would be so cleveland for the indians to finally win this year lol
  11. David
    Foles is fine especially considering there's like zero off-season to be able to teach a new guy the offense
  12. David
    man i resisted so many times making a comment about that rizzo's core thing but this thread just keeps popping back up and i just cant do it anymore SPOT TRAINING IS NOT A THING but still great GIF usage
  13. David
    i definitely saw that too Agreed. Now if only they could get him to throw that disgusting Harden changeup, we have something. Harden never had close to the velo that Jensen has. Huh? http://www.wallpaperhi.com/thumbnails/detail/20120226/baseball%20mlb%20oakland%20athletics%201024x768%20wallpaper_www.wallpaperhi.com_30.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Harden It's hard to find pitchFX max velo data from back then but in his early years with oakland he was averaging 94-95 on his fastball as a starter. i definitely remember him hitting the upper 90s with the cubs.
  14. David
    He has some Rich Harden vibes with his delivery/motions and build i definitely saw that too
  15. David
    I feel like Bonds could've pulled off 80 at some point of he'd been pitched to like just a regular superstar instead of an actual deity
  16. David
    I had heard this guy come on WSCR a few times with Dan Bernstein. There's a lot going on in this thread. Worth a read.
  17. David
    can we find some other all around solid SS comp instead of larkin again but not nick ahmed either
  18. David
    Wouldn’t no stride theoretically help with pitch recognition since your eye level is less likely to be changing? Not sure I understand that part. Glad I wasn’t the only one who was confused by Law’s comment. In context I think he's trying to say that while you would think it would at least have that benefit, given the fact that his pitch recognition isn't good, it doesn't even have the benefit of that. weird wording regardless.
  19. David
    that's him in #9
  20. David
    The normal % of most prep kids picked in the 1st round, close to 0%. 0% chance he signs, or 0% chance he opts for college? come ON man
  21. David
    if the situation is such that curfews are still necessary a month from now, there are far bigger problems than that.

    colombo wound up having a decent career in dallas
  23. David
    And they have used several top 100 picks on interior OL (Long, Daniels, Whitehair, Grasu) while drafting 0 tackles in the top 100. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk This millenium? Carimi and Williams immediately come to mind (not that it changes the overall point)

    the dominance of that team was established in the damn 103 win regular season you clod And now name calling. You feeling okay? Quarantine got you down?
  25. David
    it's cool that you totally understand, after all these years on this particular board, that the relative dominance and/or quality of a baseball team can be boiled down to 4 games. it is clear that you have read and learned a lot on here and probably don't spend your time horsefeathers and skimming past all the discussions. We define "dominance" differently. That's ok, you don't have to be right all the time. the dominance of that team was established in the damn 103 win regular season you clod
