I have no real ability to tell the difference between breathless hype for a legit superstar QB prospect and the million other prospects we've been through.

Generally the main sticking point with people who have had or are undergoing cancer treatments is what immunosuppressant treatments they might be on, and even then most doctors are advising patients to get vaccinated, even if they are ACTIVELY being treated for cancer. Reading WAY into it, but that really sounds like, "hey, you should get this vaccine"...."naaaaaaaaaah, pass!" Dude pretty obviously opted not to on his own. That answers my question, thank you. Sucks to suck, tinyface.
-
Are we sure that something in Rizzo's cancer past didn't result in his doctor recommending against the vaccine?

Not all of us....but then again, I thought Heyward would be a beast, so we're all fallible. Contact > power will be the FOTM among some fans for a while. Until they remember that dingers rock and that needing 3 straight hits to score sucks in a different way. I think you can have some happy medium of contact bats and guys that hit dongs. You probably can, but I don't want it. Walks and dongs please.

Baez, Contreras, Samardzija

Hendry's organization was bad overall, but they could scout and develop pitching in a way that Epstein/Hoyer have never come close to. The thing with Epstein/Hoyer is that they just didn't deliver what they promised. There was no sustained success/revitalized organization. They ran the small market tank-and-spank plan. They ran it with more money and better success than almost anyone, which is to their credit, but it was always going to end with the next guy getting stuck with the crater they left behind.

We limp along for a few years, some good and some bad. In about 10 years, the Ricketts sell the team and we bring in a hotshot young executive who promises to build from the farm system and commit to becoming good at drafting and developing our own players so that we can have sustained success, and a new generation of Cubs fans believes him when he says we've never tried it before.
-
No, you cannot.
-
We lost the chance for him to resign when we played service time games.

Remember how hilarious it seemed four years ago that Brewers fans thought they were set up better long-term than we were?
-
looking forward to having an excuse to read Grant Brisbee's take
-
I don't think I could name five players on this team.
-
Besides, you know, catching the final out of the world series, my favorite Rizzo memory is the time that magazine published an analysis of people's faces and confirmed scientifically that he has a freakishly tiny face.
-
That was hilarious until you saw the players faces
-
David Ross sucks and GR was always right to hate him

Why would we ever need to go into tank mode? Epstein was revamping the organization from the ground up so that we would never have to tank again. That was the whole point, iirc. -
I'm torn between my dislike of Pace and my dislike of Leno truthers
-
All these quotes about how amazing he is just make me more nervous.
-
Trade ups make me really nervous but I wanted a QB and an OL and people who are smarter than me seem to love the players
-
I want to believe

*googles Justin Fields scouting reports* *sees that his weakness is pre-snap reads and he's often been given one-read plays to let his athleticism do the work.* *sighs*

Cleared the 250 sign at the range today on the fly for the first time ever. I should really take this to a course soon...
-
Same as last time. It's only too much if he busts.
-
Ok then

Played a couple weeks ago, first time since December and after tearing/repairing my meniscus in January. Came back much quicker than I thought on the range, but much different story on the course. Lot easier when every shot is a flat lie and you only have 10 seconds between shots. Not to trash your range session, it's a great feeling. But I let that overconfidence carry into the round and then was pissed I played as terrible as I usually do, instead of being happy to more or less match my normal performance after an injury and 4 months off. Oh for sure. I won't even be able to do this on the range again probably. It's like lucid dreaming or being a cartoon character running off a cliff. The moment you start to think about it, it's over. Eventually I'm going to be like "Hmm, that shot was a little pulled, I should adjust my swing path" and next thing you know the swing thoughts will come flooding back and it's gone.

Range this morning. First time I've touched a club in four months. I have forgotten everything I was trying to learn. I'm wearing jeans and hiking boots, no glove. No swing thoughts whatsoever, just step up and hit. And I'm absolutely bombing. Literal first swing was a dead straight 225 yard carry with driver, and this is with the less distance air balls for the water range. 7-iron? 30 yards farther than I've ever hit it That stupid 3 wood that I can never hit cleanly? Drilling it Sports are so dumb. I know if I try to carry this over to a round it will disappear
