    Remember that Cian Fahey article that raved about how otherwordly accurate he was too?
  2. David
    Guessing that mainly just means they might occasionally throw them in to do something at the hotel or the rooftops or something.
  3. David
    i guess it doesn't matter because people didn't really notice this but you'd think they'd use some kind of electronic vibrating thing that the hitter would wear or something instead of just banging loudly

    Yup. Big-time. Anybody passing this off as just good old-fashioned cheating has it way wrong. This is a different territory all together. It's the optics more than anything else; it's not realistically THAT much of an advantage, if at all, most of the time. It's more along the lines, IMO, of corking the bat, where the perceived/actual benefits are far more dwarfed by he risk/work involved. Without doing any research on the matter at all, I don't think that comparison is even remotely close to accurate. I think the sign stealing presents a substantial advantage and I'm pretty sure corked bats actually hurt rather than help (which you sort of alluded to), at least in terms of power/hitting distance.

    And THIS is your other example?

    If the "old" part wasn't enough to tip you off, the post right above that is a pretty solid indicator that he was talking about Danny Barefoot.

    Some comments and/or questions: - Has anyone suggested rebuild? Those people are nuts - Don't *need* Grandal for a Contreras swap to work since the reason move Contreras is defense and catcher defense is cheap because because, but yeah he's the dream - I think 3 and 5 are by far the least likely as cheap and established middle of the order OFer (one of just two-three productive LHHs on the roster IIRC) and an MVP candidate are not players this team's in a position to move. Sure they need a lot of luck for 4 to happen but at least it's something they probably want to do - Bryant keeps coming up because fans are gullible and the owners control the narrative. Giving any credence to it is a waste of time and if it happens the Cubs deserve to go right back to the losing nobodies they loved being - Jo Adell is a fun prospect but swapping out Kris Bryant for him and another pre-injured FA pitcher is grosser than gross. Adell can only dream of being the player Bryant is, which says more about how good Bryant is than anything about Adell This is the most I've ever agreed with a post of yours. It also doesn't read like an insane person wrote it. I'm going to have to give you a like, damn it.

    kelly is an nbc sports chicago employee. she's on the bulls beat now, i believe. don't think she'll be coming, but who knows. i'm not sure what her contract status would be or how that would work.

    how does missing by inches make the wind less of a factor? again, not saying it's an excuse for this kick but are you saying the wind is only a factor if a kick is missed by a mile?
  10. David
    there is no such thing as a big market team that is extremely unlikely to resign their own under 30 star.He appears dead set on testing free agency. How often do guys who go into free agency end up resigning with their old teams? However frequent it is, I'm pretty sure it isn't extremely rare.
  11. David
    i'm not making excuses for him but at soldier field the wind is always a factor. doesn't matter what the weather report says. the lakefront is a different animal when it comes to that horsefeathers and the stadium design doesn't appear to help at all.
  12. David
    I honestly wouldn't totally disagree, especially given how great we had it with the Bulls and how awesome 2016 was for many reasons, but I don't remember horsefeathers about 1985 so I couldn't care any less about that. In fact, those guys just annoy the hell out of me.
  13. David
    They gotta stop doing whatever the hell that was last night so I don't look like an idiot
  14. David
    That game sucked.
  15. David
    ROY/6MOY Jump on the bandwagon. What BG should have been I like the Sato pick up but I'd also be fine with White moving into the starting lineup whenever.
  16. David
    That was awesome. Can Lauri and lavine have a good night at the same time tho please
  17. David
    leave it to derwood to avoid twitter but check in on the only somehow-worse-than-cubs-twitter groups of cubs fans

    i always thought girardi looked like a 1950's baseball player just showed up in a time machine
  19. David
    Can't speak to the accuracy of this (seems a bit low to me)
  20. David
    i don't really care that he's a meatball and a lot of that goofy stuff, while off putting, doesn't really matter. he came highly regarded out of san antonio. he should be fine and they're saying the right things (and showing it so far) about how the offense will run in a modern fashion. as for last year's record, they should be replacing a lot of awful g-league minutes with competence or better this year. removing that drain makes a big difference. i'm hardly alone on this. nationally the bulls are being talked about as an up and coming sleeper in a few different places.

    nice debut from lauri after all the bitching (on realgm that is) about his preseason
  23. David
    nah they'll win in the 40's and make the playoffs by a fairly comfortable margin seasons don't start with the last year as some sort of baseline.
  24. David
    WELL ACTUALLY, 2020 is really the last year of the decade.... *runs and hides* The last year of the 2010s is 2020? Well, you clearly get jokes. But yes, the last year of the decade is technically 2020.
  25. David
    First decade the Yankees have not appeared in a WS since the 1910’s, yet they have the most wins in this decade. WELL ACTUALLY, 2020 is really the last year of the decade.... *runs and hides*
