  1. I am so glad I don't live by a bunch of Packers fans. The Big Cat revenge game.
  2. It's gonna come down to Cairo shanking one lol
  3. Who got burned on Watson,s big catches?
  4. Him and Porter could give us a couple nice power arms, maybe in 2026.
  5. I would be quite upset to lose a pick for Pivetta. They must not feel they have any shot at Flaherty.
  6. Sorry to keep spinning this broken record but all of this (as well as being out on Soto) has been obvious for months. I expect multiple high-end arms to be brought in via trade and he will probably hit the FA market for established pen help. He just can't wait and grab the very last scrap again. He might get Flaherty or Kikuchi, someone not attached to picks with high upside. We were never a player for Burnes.
  7. Hmm, 2 of the most famous players in my country went to the USA and won a World Series the first year they played with the Dodgers. Why would I want to go there? I mean, sure they have all the money in the world to keep adding talent, and they are in one of the greatest cities to live in for a person who has no money concerns, with a massive Japanese population, and the team is set up to be great in perpetuity. But other than that?
  8. I don't really like to go off the deep-end on my perception of their chemistry but I have had the feeling this is the case with Caleb. You just don't see a bond there and his accuracy has been awful from the get go on longer passes. He needs to wake up because his natural talent isn't carrying him far.
  9. If I were him the Brewers would be very high on my list then if that is the case
  10. I don't know why you're wasting time reading anything about the team right now TBH.
  11. Ben Johnson's name wasn't even known. I don't think anybody in this forum ever pined for him before this year.
  12. Yeah put him with Herbert and he'd be one of the best receivers in the game again.
  13. Is he at least better than the 5th best QB of his class?
  14. FA only really excites me if we grab Sasaki. I'm really excited to see what trades he has in mind.
  15. Couldn't hurt to make an offer as long as it isn't like an Ozzie Albies proposal. Although TT is right in that the AAV becomes a concern pretty quickly.
  16. How are you at all comfortable with that depth aside from Assad? They don't even know or won't say what's going on with Brown's neck, Horton was ineffective and unavailable. I mean really, we don't want Wes or Killian to make any starts. Assad and Wicks are a good piggy back for certain situations, would be quite excellent to have as the 6th and 7th guys in the staff. If he can trade for Crochet or someone with a minuscule salary I can see it.
  17. Caleb doesn't look like he has good chemistry with any of em. Like they should have been in the lab since May and it looks like they waited til late July.
  18. They realize he's gonna be ready this year and without injury to a starter likely won't get much playing time, and they don't want to add salary purely via FA. We probably should be looking to move him for pitching. Our young pitchers all died last year,
  19. What is your guys opinion on this one? He stepped out of bounds so he couldn't be the first to touch the ball. Some fans are saying it was smart to walk off the field so as not to confuse Caleb. Other wish he had stayed on to block, but Caleb wouldn't know that he couldn't throw him the ball and faced a potential penalty if he had. But it's easy to just say that he quit on the play and the team. However, I don't believe he has faced any consequence whatsoever. So it leads me to believe the coaches think he did the right thing. Then again the coaches suck.
  20. I mean, yes... and no? He's a RH 1B/DH who's turning 23 soon. The odds are not good. He wasn't impressive at South Bend. However he smashed Double-A and showed little contact issues with 35 walks to 33 Ks. He's recorded swing speeds of 79 MPH, which is elite territory. Now his AFL line is 350/450/700 in 75 PA. There's definitely some things to really be intrigued by.
  21. Thank God Demp was a dick and delivered us this legend. If we had ended up with Randall Delgado or Zach Lee I firmly believe wed be at 110 years and counting.
  22. That injury report is disheartening. Starting to feel like 1 or 2 wins left at best. horsefeathers these last 2 weeks straight to hell.
  23. The Cubs will spend 10-15M upgrading the bench. Meanwhile the Brewers will trade for some non-prospect that provides approximate value. Next year the Cubs will have players ready to assume the bench blocked by the guy who probably wasn't so necessary.
