Soooo now that the Padres did a thing we are back to bashing the FO for not trading the prospects we previously wanted them to hold on to huh?

Can they keep Lazor and hire Fitz? I know they've played bad teams, but I continue to just love the play calling. I hope the Packers lose to the Titans next week and have something to play for. Pack have a solid pass defense so it'd be nice to see what Mitch can do.

Gave up on the game last night midway through the 3rd. Shocked to see they came back and won. Dont we have a Vandy guy here on the board? Who is this Shittu guy? A quick google search tells me he was one of the top recruits in the 2018 high school class. Dropped 13 points in 12 minutes last night..... Could he be a guy?

Probably wasn't gonna happen, but I'm still hoping the new regime can get them involved with the big names next year with all the money they have coming off the books.

Well the Giannis pipe dream has busted. He resigned with the Bucks.

Funny what a competent OL and better play calling can do, right? I look at Mitch in the same vein as Darnold. I could see them going to another team and having success with better coaching. If they keep playing like this, I think you have to consider bringing him back if the price is right. I know I won't be in the majority on that.

Soooo. Bill Lazor for HC???? I'm being slightly sarcastic here but man, since he's taken over the play calling the offense has really started to roll. I feel like they're finally using Mitch the way he should be used.

The Bulls look like a team who has only had a week of team practices with a new head coach.

We're talking about an 8 hole hitter here. If he has a good year you can maybe think about him leading off. I think people here got spoiled with the Springer talk. Adam Eaton in the 8 hole is pretty fuckin solid to me. Could be a fun little 8/9 with him and Madrigal to turn the lineup over to the good bats.

Never thought Springer was necessary anyway. I know you can never have enough offense but this team offensively is already really really good. The jump from Edwin to Vaughn and Mazara to lets say Joc should be more than enough. Robert should be more consistent. Moncada should be healthier. You should get more out of Madrigal. Take whatever the difference between Springer and Joc is money wise and add that to your offer for Bauer.

Let's just overpay Yoenis to DH and tell him to throw some cash his bros way and sign both Colas and Cespedes. Lol.

Am I the only one comfortable "Trusting the process" and letting Cease, Dunning, and Kopech all have spots in the rotation? We spent years getting excited about these guys and now were already looking to replace at least one of them. Maybe sign a swing guy who gives you some starts while Kopech gets his feet wet again. How was Q out of the pen? That said, while I'm comfortable with it, and don't think its them simply being cheap, I'm still game for Bauer and trading Cease for a RFer.

I bet if you look around the league, most front offices are talking about this because its the reality we are in right now. I'm all for Joc especially if Vaughn is being brought up here in short order. I know there's no such thing as being too greedy/good when it comes to sports, but we're really talking about a bottom of the order bat here. With Vaughn and Joc at DH and RF we're talking about a 7-9 of Vaughn/Joc/Madrigal. That's just insane to me.

Is there a reason there's been no talk about Bauer lately? Did I miss something or are we just tired of talking about him.

There's talks about the Celtics trying for Harden as well. It looks like Donovan played a lot of 3 guard sets with SGA, Paul, and Schroeder all leading the team in minutes. Kemba, Lavine, White could be fun.

Rus wants out of Houston....Should the Bulls be interested? As I stated before, Cheeks is like a mentor to him and he had his best years under Donovan.

I'm also really behind Adam Eaton coming back. Eaton in the 8 spot ahead of Madrigal sounds like it could be a fun way to turn the lineup over.

The Marquez and Blackmon for something less than Vaughn as a headliner sounds too good to be true but man would I be pumped for that. Blackmon has been one of the more underrated players in the game imo. He's older yes, but the Sox are clearly goin for it next year, and Charlie friggin Blackmon would probably bat in the lower 3rd of this lineup. How crazy is that?

To me, Deni is the only guy that makes sense if Ball is gone. Still makes the most sense if Balls there too IMO. I'm really excited to see the development of White under Donovan and Cheeks. I'm not comparing the 2, but Westbrook attributes Cheeks to his development as a PG anddd Westbrooks best years were under Donovan. I'm not ready to give up on White as a starting PG. I think he turns into a stud.

I'm not sure what you expect from him behind that offensive line. I mean the Bears played 2 guys that were on the practice squad, Ifedi is playing guard for the first time this year, Coward is a DT convert who had been playing OG and played OT yesterday, and Leno is just the shiniest turd. Idk how they get it done but this team needs 3 new offensive linemen. Both tackles and a OG.

Honestly if they were smart they would play mitch. But Nagy wouldn't use him right so what's the point? Foles is good for a few throws when the pocket holds up, the problem is it rarely does. At least with Mitch you can utilize his legs. Last 2 weeks showed you prime examples of how you should use Mitch. You see how often Goff booted out of the pocket because of the bears pass rush?? That gives you more time to throw, or like Goff did a few times, pick up chunks of yardage. Or look at Taysum Hill today. The defense knew what was coming when Hill was under center and Hill still gashed the D. Those were designed runs. Mitch doesn't always just have to run the ball when a play breaks down, draw up some designed runs for him as well. I want 2018 Mitch back damnit.

I'm really excited for the season. I still think this is a playoff team if healthy. I'm hoping they roll the dice with Deni in the draft if he's there. If he plays up to the scouting reports, I like the fit and I think he'd allow you to play Coby and Lavine at the same time a lot more without really worrying about ball movement. They have their trade exemption to use to add a vet, and I like Jae Crowder with that. Bring back Jo on a vet minimum PG- White-Sato SG- Lavine- Crowder SF- Deni-Porter PF- Lauri-Rookie guy from last year whose name escapes me C- Carter-Noah

Haven't posted in here in quite awhile(nor has anyone) but man....I was binge watching AEW and I just wanna say how happy I am to see Eddie Kingston FINALLY get a push on a bigger stage. Dude is a legend.

I kinda hate this question, because I like Madrigal and think Moncada should stay put, but didn't the Sox play Vaughn at 3B a bit in ST? Could the logic be Vaughn at 3B with Moncada moving back to 2B. Maybe move Timmy to RF and Madrigal to SS? That's A LOT of shuffling but it seems possible. In the end though, now that I think about it, that only makes since if McCann is brought back or they insist on keeping EE at DH. Do teams ever really do such wholesale changes?

I could be wrong here, but Lauri is a free agent in 2021, so hypothetically speaking can't the Bulls sign 2 max guys and then go over the cap to resign Lauri? Dream scenario would be Coby and Lauri both panning out and Lavines 3 ball being legit. Then you add in AD and Giannis. White-Lavine-Giannis-AD-Lauri
