I like the swing adjustments too, looks like he is another Best Shape of His Life guy ...More redemption than revenge maybe, I'm more comfortable with the CF mix than the MIF mix right now he's still garbage when he is actually being pitched to he'll continue to swing at pitcher's pitches and make weak contact for outs.

2020 Draft Thread
David replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Good to hear probably thanks for all this information. It makes it really exciting and interesting and easier to keep up with. At least for people like me. I appreciate it. yeah, agreed. as much of a huge weirdo as i think you are, tom, i really appreciate it. you provide more insight than just about anyone here on these things this side of raisin. -
isn't passer rating up league wide? if it were a good statistic we wouldn't be talking about replacing trubisky. his 2018 wasn't nearly as good as his passer rating makes it out to be. at least, not if you're looking at it from the standards of even 5-10 years ago. it is up, but so what. None of those 3 are significanlty better the Mitch. Bridgewater is probably the only available *obvious upgrade, unless he resigned already and I missed it. dalton is probably better but i wouldn't bother with him mariota fine whatever if they want him to back up and have someone to throw in if mitch really shits the bed. don't care at all to bother with keenum. carr is the best of the bunch. carr or bust.

Statistically speaking, they aren't much better if at all. Granted, QB rating isn't the end all be all of statistics but: Keenum- has 2 seasons in the last 4 worse than Trubisky's 2019 83 QB rating. Only 1 season in his career better than Trubisky's 2018 95.4 rating. Also, 32 years old with no upside to get better. Mariota- has 1 season better than Trubisky's 2018 95.4, and that was a 95.6 season. Same issues as Mitch with taking sacks. Doesn't throw a lot of picks, but similar gunshy and doesn't process quick enough to anticipate hitting an open receiver. More consistently mediocre though than the rest of this group, Trubisky included. Dalton- was statistically worse than Trubisky in 2019. Only has 1 season with a better QB rating than Mitch's 2018, and that was back in 2015. Older than Keenum so also doesn't have upside to improve. A little INT happy at times. Doesn't have a bunch of arm talent. isn't passer rating up league wide? if it were a good statistic we wouldn't be talking about replacing trubisky. his 2018 wasn't nearly as good as his passer rating makes it out to be. at least, not if you're looking at it from the standards of even 5-10 years ago.

Kris Bryant is awesome and we were always right to love him

if you're gonna do that you might as well just do the reddit streams What's the best way to get that from the internet to my Roku/TV? Enough experience getting it on a computer to know how to find them on reddit. i'm honestly not sure i also heard some guy call the score this morning and he said something about installing kodi on roku. i know very little about it but i'm sure the info is readily available.

Ballsy move when DirecTV is out there available for the whole country.

Just a bang up job partnering with the company whose channels are getting yanked left and right. It's RSNs in general. Dish Network is going away from them too. I have a feeling this will be bad for those companies though. Not having live sports is going to be a serious limiter of their market. For my money, whatever benefits are being talked about of YouTube TV over Hulu Live are overwhelmingly outweighed by their decision not to carry a huge number (or all?) of RSNs. The Sinclair partnership (gross political ties aside) has worked out as well as it could for them and got them in the door as far as distribution goes.

4.1 WAR as a leadoff man with un less juiced ball is about all we might expect. WAR doesn't care where you bat in the order and the de-juiced ball applies to everyone, not just Bryant. if anything, you could argue that hitting leadoff would allow him to accrue SLIGHTLY more WAR by function of the marginally higher plate appearances/opportunities. it's fairly negligible compared to his previous spot in the order, of course. and that's without even getting into the juiced ball part, where it's arguable that the juiced ball affected different players in different ways and may have actually hurt some players more than it helped them relative to the rest of the league.

Amazing. I was going to make a post the other day about how its strange that we haven't heard a peep about Russell signing anywhere, even as a minor league FA. Figured some horsefeathers team out there would take a chance on him. But then I though 'horsefeathers Addison Russell, he doesnt deserve any more discussion here' I think you'd be more likely to see him end up in Japan or something.

assuming i'm right about what you're talking about, people actually like this?

It appears every DirecTV subscriber is getting that message out of market, and some in market (even if they have the right package). From what I've gathered Marquee isn't going to be national on DirecTV in the sports package. I have no clue but I imagine that's probably a different negotiation/agreement and maybe they want to get all the local providers wrapped up first. They are in Iowa so they should be in market I believe. I'll tell them they'll need to call in and start complaining and see if it goes anywhere. Thanks a lot of people seem to be having luck with refreshing their service https://twitter.com/TLAM213/status/1232167605227618307?s=20 so if they really are in market this should work...i think?

carr is pretty good (averageish starter), would be a huge upgrade, and (i hate this line because it's such a low bar) would immediately be the best qb the bears have ever had. i loved cutler too but he flat out turned the ball over too much. That’s just wrong i don't even see how it's up for debate tbh i'm assuming you're referring to the cutler part, and if i'm wrong, nevermind. what is the argument for cutler being better?
-
isn't the situation exactly the same for you as it has been every year? no. I get NBCSC ahh right so the ancillary programming. fair enough. i think they'll still be covering the cubs. :dontknow:

I mean I wouldn't look at the current status of it as anything more than a soft launch anyway, but I wasn't expecting much more than this. once we're into the real games it should feel more complete.
-
What DirecTV package do you have? I have Choice, DirecTV tells me that Marquee is included in the Choice package, but I get a message like I need to pay for it. DirecTV is telling me the problem is on Marquee's end. That makes no sense.

Also, Carr isn't very good carr is pretty good (averageish starter), would be a huge upgrade, and (i hate this line because it's such a low bar) would immediately be the best qb the bears have ever had. i loved cutler too but he flat out turned the ball over too much.

Apparently this was MLB Network produced and based on a fan vote that happened who knows where/when
-
i take that back (from my last post). i feel like i'm watching TWIB - cubs style basically.
-
so this is actually pretty good aside from the cheesy background music (it's got like a chicago's best kind of production style) that segment where he and rizzo discussed playing 1b was actually good, and im a grace hater of course, i'm sure this stuff will run ad nauseam and won't be nearly as interesting after i've seen it 100x
-
i just said almost the exact same thing verbatim lmao
-
I don't see it either. I believe the network doesn't go live until noon though, so it'll likely show up then. Showing up for me now, looks like it launches at 1 pm though, not noon. Yep. It's on there for me too. They have a "coming soon" screen up.
