  1. I hope the Dbacks or Giants sneak in. Not only would that probably leave the Mets out, it would be 2 yrs in a row that a seller at the deadline made it.
  2. It would be great if the circle of trust can get a day off
  3. Im not sure Penix was any better, Atlanta just had a consistent running attack and he was more protected
  4. 1. What Counsell makes is moot. His salary does not count against the luxury tax, which seems to be the Cubs self imposed spending limit 2. Ultimately I think he was hired because the Cubs owner and front office view player development as crucial to overall team success. Overall, as frustrated as I get about Caissie and Ballesteros coming up and sitting the bench, he has worked well with developing others. Both from our system and getting value from other system rejects. 3. We were projected as a mid 80 win team. Best pitcher out for season after 2 starts and will finish with 90+ wins. Also, had a trash bench for 1st 110 games. I'll give him a B
  5. Ha, I missed that one. I used to coach HS and American Legion. I know not even close to MLB. But he seems to be in front of everything. Its probably how just about anyone would try to coach him. Like I said though, alot more difficult at the MLB level than I could even imagine.
  6. I meant since their head to head was 3-3, the next tiebreaker is division record. I think. Which really doesn't make sense since they play in different divisions
  7. The thing that would absolutely give the young QB all the support he can get is a real running attack. I dont think the comparison is Loveland v Warren. Its why wasn't more done to improve the run game?
  8. The most embarrassing roughing the passer ever just happened on Mahomes
  9. Unpopular opinion.....drafting is overrated.....player development is underrated.
  10. Isn't it who has the best record against division? Which is weird for WC
  11. I put some money on Florida tonight. I dont dislike LSU, just think they are a bit overrated after beating not very good Clemson. Plus Florida should play somewhat inspired
  12. He needs to let the ball get deeper. Its like everything he swings he expects something middle in that he can pull hard. I would almost like to see him intentionally try to let breaking balls get a little deeper and send them the other way. Easier said than done against MLB pitching
  13. Honestly, I actually kind of think of him like Ditka. Probably a perfect head coach as long as you have a good GM and coordinators. Not sure he can actually judge talent or make a good game plan. But I do think there is a lot of value in someone to be the front man and run the team on field
  14. The Matiners, Mets and Astros playoff spots are all still kind of questionable. So I really dont get them having better odds. To me the Padres have a scarey good playoff team. I dont know how my personal belief about the Padres correlates better WS odds, but obviously they do:)
  15. It was a tough day for the Cubs and their players. Im sure some unpleasant things were said.
  16. Making plays when it mattered. Really that's the most important thing a QB does.
  17. You would think the team replay guy would know the rules also, to prevent an obvious bad challenge, but there it is. I was wondering why they didn't kick it out of bounds either.
  18. Didn't they have Duke winning? 33% against USC at home?
  19. I think Illinois biggest issue today was their tacklers seemed to repeatedly take bad pursuit angles. But overall, solid win in a quality road game
  20. Why does Ellise Meneger always look like her makeup artist is having a joke on her behalf
  21. Unfortunately when Harry said it, it was rather racist.
  22. In my mind I hear Harry Caray saying how can a guy from Southern California loss the ball in the sun?"
