I'm trying to temper my burgeoning giddiness. -
Mets (Senga) vs Cubs (Cabrera): 4/17/26, 1:20pm
chopsx9 replied to Brandon Glick's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
There are a LOT of worse takes than that. -
El Bambino is up!
-
Is that Nico's longest HR ever?
-
Nonsense - every Brewer or Cardinal loss is cause for celebration.
-
Bregman takes the tag to the bag and he's out. The throw beat him.
-
Looks like Sosa stepped on his hand.
-
Just nice to see a leadoff runner come in from 2nd.
-
Should've left the opener in.

That's the excuse you get when you use free AI.

bunting?

Whew!!!

See, all I see now is a force out at every base.

Right in the Richard.

Dansby a little casual there.

Wild Pitch! Wild Pitch! Wild Pitch!

I don't understand what just happened.

RIP 2B Davey Lopes. Best remembered as a Dodger but had 2 pretty nice seasons as a back up for the Cubs in the mid 80's.

Cassie had a day today.

Conforto looks like me rounding the bases.

That was a really good jump by Dansby.

Any professional sport long term contract is life changing money, many of the short term ones as well. $130 million is generational wealth. Again the point isn't "more", it's the suggestion that there was $40+ million more. I agree that Hoerner may have said he wanted to stay in Chicago and maybe Hoerner even threw out a number. An agent is still going to negotiate for as high a number as he can get - that's what his pay is based on and that's his job and how he performs builds his reputation and his ability to sign more clients. If the agent left $40 million on the table (25% of the contract) then he's a bad agent. He doesn't need to actually test free agency. Hoerner's not going to complain and send the money back to the Rickett's if the agent negotiates a better number. Would he have gotten more - maybe, but I don't think the more equates anywhere close to $40million more.
