  1. Plus the Angels signed him to like a $350-mil extension in the offseason so LOL for even breaching this topic
  2. Great interview Clinton. Thx for the good content this week. My only nitpick is just watch the background noise - it was fairly distracting at times, but not a dealbreaker. Thanks!
  3. Saw a UCLA/Ore St game in person earlier this year where Adley hit 2 homers - yeah that's what I'm hoping for too
  4. Who is this other guy in the radio booth?
  5. Wish we wouldn't even talk abt him. Once he crossed town, he became dead to so many of us-- like crossing a picket line. I wish ppl would just forget about him.
  6. Went to the Oregon St/UCLA game today - Rutschman went 4-5 w 2 hrs and one was a moon shot. Christ, I hope he falls to #3
  7. I don't understand this attitude. It's fine to want the draft pick more, but they ARE rivals. To deny that is to be BLIND abt the way life is in Chicago. Fuck the North Side and fuck their baseball team. I HATE them - if you don't get this, there's any number of Chicago history books out there to explain it.
  8. Micah Coffey in this game too. Single in his first AB. K in his second.
  9. Living on the west coast time-wise is great for every other tv thing - awards shows, games, etc -- but drafts are the worst. NFL one starts while still at work.
  10. Hell no - let every player do it and it will improve the game. Like the 90s.
  11. QUOTE (The Gooch @ Mar 29, 2018 -> 08:39 AM) Anyone know the best way to stream this through a phone? Does the NBC Sports app allow it? I also was looking through the Directtv app. I can't tell if it will be available for streaming on either. MLB.tv is the best
  12. I had a heck of a time until I realized MLBN is behind your commentary. Excited to see Robert.
  13. QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 12, 2018 -> 04:05 PM) It’s not even Jiminez, right now. It’s being stuck with Zobrist/Heyward, a lack of elite arms after Edwards in the pen and the defensive hodgepodge that is Happ/Schwarber. Their most desirable trade piece, Baez, is the one with the most positional versatility and best defender, so they can simply not afford to lose him. They really were fortunate to get Wade Davis for Soler last year, but a lot of other breaks have gone their way (Rizzo, Bryant draft, Kendricks, developing one of the best catchers in baseball internally, Lester connection to Epstein). They also don’t have a true CFer or leadoff hitter. And they lost Gleyber Torres for a closer who almost ended up costing them the title, bringing a domestic abuser into their midst before it really cost them with female Cubs’ fans like it MIGHT in a post #metoo world. All those things said, it’s hard to imagine doing any better than 3 consecutive NL Champ series appearances and still having at least 4 or even 5 good shots to get back there again. And while the Brewers and Cards improved, the Pirates and Reds are two more small market teams who are being forced by circumstances to rebuild. Last but not least, undo history and put the Astros back in the NL Central and you might not have a Cubs’ World Series title. But we can do that same exercise with the 2004-2005 Chicago White Sox just as easily, if not moreso. Some remotely competent Umpiring as well (or not as bluntly dirty) and they don't have a WS title either. They're not as good as they think they are, and I doubt they'll make the playoffs this year. Terrible pick-up.
  14. QUOTE (Tony @ Jan 31, 2018 -> 08:13 AM) The Bulls announced they will air on The Score starting Saturday. Hope this means the Sox to WBBM. Would hate to see them lose Farmer in a move to WGN (but don't know what they have against him.)
  15. Still seems like it was his CHOICE to run into the wall. Kinda like the crowd having to be aware of batted balls, you have to know what you're running into.
  16. QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 10:30 PM) I missed the live presser - anyone know of a link to replay it? I found it on the CSN twitter
  17. Get all those white faces outta here. What, the Republicans on this board hate diversity???
  18. QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 09:00 AM) So, just for fun...how about the 2020 Sox? CF Robert 2B Moncada RF Jimenez C Collins LF Beer 3B Burger 1B Sheets DH Delmonico SS Anderson SP Rodon SP Kopech SP Giolito SP Cease SP Hansen CL Burdi Yes, I know some prospects fail. Just daydreaming here. Who's Beer again?
  19. QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jun 5, 2017 -> 04:47 PM) And the Russians continue to laugh at this circus. What a bonehead move it was to make public "the Russians meddled in our election". The rule is you keep that s*** under wraps because every country is trying to meddle in every other country's affairs every day. That's geopolitics par for the course. Making this into this big ongoing story is the worst thing for global democracy ever. Makes us look so stupid giving them all this press. And still no evidence anybody did anything wrong, as obviously expected. So dumb. Let's get back to helping Americans. Oh look another American politician met with a Russian politician! Oh no! Manchurian Candidate. Gimme a break. I guess all the evidence they have so far is "fake news" then????
  20. Keep in mind too that this rebuild is not going to take just one offseason. Can't fix this many mistakes in one year. But with Hahn truly in charge, gotta feel good about the next 2-3.
