    That seems like an absurdly low probability we land a 3 win player on a 1 year-close to 20m deal. Cubs have the need, desire, and plenty of prospect surplus to work from. There are a couple other teams that will be in the mix but I'd say it's better than 50% we are the team to get him.

    You're out of your element, Derwood

    So easy to see all the tools are there in spades. Like Kyle says, he hesitates a lot. He has a long load and his footwork is sloppy. But man he's on the verge of being a special passer. It could just come with further comfort. He left a lot of plays on the field. Even the plays where his anticipation was passable, they could have been even better. He has to trust his receivers will make the right breaks.

    86 and 87 playoff losses were especially hard. 86 defense was arguably better than 85 and we went 14-2, they were 12-4 and they still beat us. We had the most laughably bad QB situation, sending out 4 QBs that year to throw 12 TDs and 25 picks LOL

    What a frustrating night for Mooney. Targeted 4 times and was oddly really close to a 100 yard game. I mean he was beating his man badly and Justin just kept barely missing him.

    I think he's gonna take much worse hits in the pocket behind that line. He seems to have gotten a little better at sliding and not getting blasted. I bet he still ends up over 500 yards rushing at least.

    Too bad we didn't get that PI and had to settle for 3.

    Remember last year when the Bears were scoring a shitload of points Apparently Getsy remembers

    Nice read by Fields

    Hell of a run by Herbert gotdamn
  12. We Got The Whole 9
    Nice pick
  13. We Got The Whole 9
    Mooney should have like a hundred yards already too damn

    This is shaping up for a potential test on what Eberflus learned last week How is that not PI. He never turned for the damn ball and he made tons of illegal contact.

    I don't think we know any of that just yet. Plenty of prospects find their power later than expected. We are still looking at a kid who was drafted out of HS 2 years ago and posted an excellent BBK this year. He showed a significant improvement in his FB rate at A+ as well. He's got a couple years to hone in the defense. Then again he feels like a ripe trade chip anyway.

    Sorry double post

    In the first 3 games they moved him out of the pocket a total of 7 times. In week 4 they did it 8 times. You see the amount of carries Herbert had. That was against an awful defense and he faced 3 good ones to start the year, but it's definitely more emblematic of what we saw last season. You cannot plant Justin in the pocket and expect him to pick apart a defense. He needs to shift the pocket and open up passing lanes and have the threat to run in the back pocket. What we need to see though is, when teams blitz and take away the moving pocket, sometimes he just needs to eat the sack and come back and get them the next play. He can't panic and try to make a pass that turns into disaster like the scoop and score last week.

    Where is the ball
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    Blah blah I don't buy it. So many HOF pitchers made 100 IP jumps early in their career and showed no ill effects. He was still throwing gas, his command was probably just off.

    Alcantara absolutely makes the most sense. Do they have a RP under control that we could use? Feels like Alonso alone is not worth Alcantara. He's just a 3 win player on an expiring contract, powerful bat or not.
  21. We Got The Whole 9
    Really interested in seeing how Wright holds up against that defense and is Jenkins playing?
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    Game 1 is not often talked about but we came out and touched Beckett for 4 runs in the first but they slammed Zambrano for 3 homers and 5 runs in the 3rd. Z had allowed just 9 HR in 214 IP and that was a shocker to see. Then Sammy blasted Urbina to tie it in the 9th and erase the narrative around him as a postseason-nothing (even though it was 15 AB lol) and it felt like we were gonna win until Guthrie threw an absolutely awful pitch to Lowell for the eventual GW. I always look at that 2003 team and imagine if we had had the 400 ISO Sammy from just 2 years prior, they probably win 95 games and clinch a couple weeks earlier. Sosa was a 10 win player in 01 and a 3 win player in 03.
