    I cannot believe how many sacks he's taken and the fact that he hasn't relinquished any time to Bagent lol He has to get so much better at reading the rush and throwing receivers open. His accuracy is awful and he hasn't been on page with his guys all year. That makes me question his leadership and effort. I guess I have some meathead tendencies still but there's a lot to question.

    Start teaching Seiya and Canario. Use them in a pinch. Spend all of the money on pitching. I actually kind of like both of these guys though.

    Its horsefeathers that we are in this position. With the resources weve had at our disposal over the last 3 years we should be ascending and we're not. Poles skipping FA for 2 years really horsefeathered us and i would fire him for that. Warren has been a total dud and should be fired too. McCaskey should fire them both and hire Johnson and hire who he wants as GM.

    It's like karma came back for the Cubs manipulating his service. Injuries and covid cut him down to basically 6 seasons. I hope he makes a comeback but his injuries/back are really bad. It doesn't appear to be in the cards. A top 5 all-timer for me. I remember following his senior year and then we were basically giving up-to-the-minute updates on his minor league contact rate as he hit a HR every other day. The debates around his bust-ability waged on and every time he was promoted he would throw up a golden sombrero lol. Dude was a plug-&-play All-Star and made the final putout of the WS. Just storybook all the way.

    I don't remember much about this season at all. We moved from IL to FL in the summer of 95 and I didn't get WGN down there. Basically became more of a Braves fan until Wood and Sosa in 98, when we moved to CA and got WGN again. That is amazing clutch shown by Sosa, holy horsefeathers.

    Met with the White Sox also

    The Tucker trade happened for a multitude of reasons: 1) It's a chance to add a 8-9 win player based on last year's pace and that would be enough to swing the division in our favor, for less-than-half of what the market would likely pay him. 2) Matt Shaw 3) Jed's on his final season and that probably allowed him to work a little more loosely with his prospects and a division crown probably keeps him in charge. 4) Paredes was a bad fit but had really high value to offset the prospect cost

    I just want to know for sure they are going to spend the ~40M they have. Too many articles this week making it seem like they are cutting payroll and I'm honestly nervous.

    He will take a Manaea deal.
  10. We Got The Whole 9
    Braxton now has a fractured fibula complicating his roster status.

    It's crazy how Caleb's last INT was probably his worst throw of the year that should have been a 70 yard TD instead, and he also had 2 pickless games before that. He should already be challenging the record if not for that horrible throw.
  12. We Got The Whole 9
    Breslow came at a perfect time but in 2 years he's built this rotation: Crochet Houck Bello Beuhler Crawford/Giolito, more Pretty darn good and really cheap
  13. We Got The Whole 9
    Manaea back to the Mets 3/75 and it looks like Alonso will probably go back too
  14. We Got The Whole 9
    Can you blame him?
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    The top 5 for passes without an INT is Rodgers, Brady, Goff, Brady, ...... Carr (?!)
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    Well that's a nice drive
  17. We Got The Whole 9
    They were gonna get the 1st anyway but holy horsefeathers are we dumb
  18. We Got The Whole 9
    At least Caleb didn't get vultured
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    Now that's interesting
  20. We Got The Whole 9
    Does anyone really think he's gonna make his decision based on 8M vs 6M? I tend to lean no. He wants the cleanest and most impactful pitch.
  21. We Got The Whole 9
    Carter will just slip in and show him highlights of the whiffs in RF
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    Working his way west. Let's make him keep thinking about that quirky midwest when he gets there.
  23. We Got The Whole 9
    Yeah let Bagent get his 15 targets on Scott and take those hits
  24. We Got The Whole 9
    Belli would probably hit 220 in Safeco but they were certainly not going to give up a Frontline arm for him and Triantos. We could only begin discussing Castillo when we brought Nico in the conversation. We basically got a free shot on Belli for last year. It worked out fine.
  25. We Got The Whole 9
    Really didn't change my opinion on them or their standing at all. We all know that none of them were ever put in elite prospect tiers. They all have very noticeable aspects to their game that make ya go hmm. But they will be MLBers and likely very supplemental to the new squad. They will fit seamlessly. It's up to the Cubs to help develop their games to the MLB.
