    Ben Johnson got to his 6th win on November 9th of his first year. Eberflus didn't get to his 6th win until November 9th of his second year.

    Wemby definitely looks smarter and stronger this year, which is scary if he can continue to transform his body like Giannis did. I didn't expect him to be such a good shooter - he's already an 80% free throw shooter and 35% three point shooter. It looks like he's learning how to get to the line consistently. He has moves that are literally un-guardable. I'm not sure how you game plan around that.

    This felt like a Lovie-smith era game to me. Offense did just enough to win the game, but key plays from the defense and special teams were the difference. Caleb looked better than his stat line looked. Kmet had a terrible game. Swift had at least one drop that hit him right in the hands. The pick was an amazing defensive play (although it looked like it might have been picked off even if Crosby didn't get a hand on it). I was surprised to see that Caleb is on pace to be sacked significantly less this year since the line has not looked good. This is probably more of a reflection of the new offense and Caleb getting the ball out quicker. On pace for 30 sacks and 216 sack yards vs. 68 and 466 last year. Still not great, but at least that's trending in the right direction. I'm not sure that I like the timing of the bye, but at least it gives them some time to figure out the O-Line and get the defense a bit healthier.

    The thought of improbable seasons made me think - does anyone remember Carlos Silva's 2010 season? He was pretty much the worst starting pitcher in baseball before he somehow put together a solid season with the Cubs. His end of year numbers didn't end up looking that great, but he had a sub 3 ERA after 16 starts before imploding a bit towards the end.

    A lot of stats being thrown out, but in a larger sample size (last 10 games), Caleb has thrown for 2,240 yards, 18 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions, along with 280 rushing yards and another TD. After today is over, he will have thrown three picks in the last calendar year. Obviously some of that is luck and there is a lot to be desired in terms of overall accuracy, but this unfortunately has to be one of the best 10 game stretches of QB play the Bears have had in a while.

    I believe Buzelis measured in at 6'9" 197 at the Combine a year ago. They have different playstyles, but similar picks in the sense that they both played and had some success in a professional league.

    Fair point, there are definitely flaws there. I did take a glance at that group during that span. and saw 2 inherited scores out of 26 inherited runners. I did notice that inherited runners do not include runners on 2nd in extras, so there's a few more runs given up there.

    Here's some stats since 5/7 (the day after Pressly imploded) - a combined 4 ER in the last 90 1/3 for these 6. Palencia 1.65 ERA 16.1 IP Keller 0.48 ERA 18.2 IP Pressly 0.00 ERA 15 IP Thielbar 0.00 ERA 13 IP Flexen 0.00 ERA 14.1 IP Pomeranz 0.00 ERA 13.0 IP

    He's also playing some CF now, and from the brief sample size, it looks like he's been pretty good at at.

    The Baez trade was an obvious decision at the time, but I can’t believe the player they got for him is as fun and exciting as he was. A 30-30 season is a real possibility.

    Bonds 162 game average: 8.8 bWAR, 41 HR, 108 RBI, 1.051 OPS Judge 162 game average: 8.7 bWAR, 51 HR, 118 RBI, 1.016 OPS I might have said it before, but you can make the case that Judge is the best HR hitter of all time

    Is Carlos Beltran a good comparison? I can't remember how good his defense was, but he won 3 gold gloves.

    I had been going back and forth between Loveland and Warren, so I'm fine with the pick. One thing to note is that Loveland is nearly two years younger than Warren. I get the thought of trading down, but if Loveland was their guy, I'm not sure he would have made it past San Francisco at 11. As Tryptamine mentioned, above, Henderson, Emmanwori, Ezeiruaku, or potentially Johnson are who I have my eye on for day 2. I've seen Henderson raved for his pass blocking ability - something that gets overlooked for running backs that doesn't show up on the stat sheet.

    The closest I can think in recently memory is Willians Astudillo with 11 walks and 28 strikeouts in 588 career PA's. His career ended with the same amount of extra base hits as walks and strikeouts combined.

    The shin guard has me thinking Soriano, but having both hands on the bat is making me think otherwise

    I'm not sure how he'd fit with OKC, but that's one team that makes logical sense to me. They have all kinds of draft picks and they have like one guy over 6-8 with Holmgren out.

    I'm no expert, but it is interesting seeing SEC schools like Tennessee, Auburn, and Alabama be consistently ranked high and competitive. On the other hand, ACC schools that used to be powerhouses like Syrcause, Louisville, and somewhat Virginia, have struggled in recent years.

    I'm not sure if I can share it on here, but there is a solid Bears discord server that live streams each game and RedZone. If anyone is interested, I can try to DM an invite.

    They have now had three different 25 game stretches this year where they have gone 3-22 March 28 (0-0) to April 25 (3-22) May 15 (14-30) to June 12 (17-52) Jun 29 (24-61) to today (27-83)

    I believe Khalil Mack is a reason why it is used for All-Pro. In 2015 he was both an All-Pro defensive end and linebacker. Afterwards they switched to edge rusher and interior lineman.

    I've been enjoying the GoldZone coverage on Peacock (pretty much RedZone for the Olympics). I've always had trouble keeping up with the Summer Olympics, especially the not so popular events, so it's been cool being able to see all of the important action.

    You can make a case he is the best home run hitter of all time, and there's a chance he might not make it to 500. His 162 game average is 50 homeruns and he has a 7.2 HR%, which is identical with 93-04 Bonds. His first full season at 25, COVID, and injuries desperately hurt his counting stats.
  24. jb10194
    I know there's probably a reasoning behind it, but it seem a bit odd to me that they have the two west coast teams playing around 4:10/4:40 local time on Thursday, followed by Illinois-Iowa State around 9:10 local time and Alabama-North Carolina around 9:40 local time. Nothing is ideal, but I feel like switching would have benefited the fan bases more.

    He followed it up last night with one of the best dunks I've seen in recent memory. Dude is a freak.
