I want Fields. Seems like he might fall and the last few drafts - it feels like the QB no one thought was going to be the guy ended up being the guy. Why can't Fields be that guy. Dude is a tremendous athlete and has tons of experience. He isn't the perfect passer - but can make plays, etc. I don't know whether he'll develop or not - but he seems to be the guy that might drop into a range where the Bears don't have to pay an exorbitant price to move up and take the 50/50 chance.

This is very true. Sato had another real bad game yesterday.

Mark, White, and Williams - 8 points total tonight in 67 minutes. Williams with 2 points in last 2 games. And White - completely broken. One of the worst players I have seen - given the minutes. Horrendous defense, disaster point guard...and now a worthless scorer too...the one thing he did decent prior to the team getting him inside his own head for being a crap point guard.

Already at that point. I can’t even watch them right now - so frustrating. Williams so passive - White horrible - Lauri actually not bad and probably should be starting. Don’t get me wrong - Lauri had issues with his passiveness but his defense had really improved. Donovan is struggling right now too - bad rotations - too many minutes for Thad - but worst of all we went from a fun, ball moving and fast paced offense to this horrible Boylen like offense since the trade deadline - just dump it into Vuc lazy offense. God they have failed in the draft - when Lauri leaves for nothing they will be left with White and Williams from all their top 10 picks...pathetic and having given up two more picks. I had to be the downer in the room - but I am really really down on Bulls right now and this front office. Vuce in a vacuum was okay - but it was a lot of chips for a borderline all star who is at or near his prime...especially with the other guys flailing. Hoping I am wrong but after a surprising fun start - I am starting to be annoyed at what we blew our asset load on and whether the Bulls are now painted into too tight of a corner. Donovan will figure it out and maybe they just need more time plus a point guard but they need to get lotto lucky and keep this years pick!

What happened in the second half? They got destroyed.

3 in a row. 7 guys in double figures and Santarosky had 9 Pts. Lauri with 18 points in 18 minutes. 16 TO's though - so 2 straight games with a ton of TO's. Lavine and White had 9 of the 16.

Fantastic win. 3 out of the last 4

For the record - madrigal caught the ball - that was something else that went flying. At least I am 90 percent sure of that.

Beautiful - Abreu with the Grand Slam - Collins with nice AB's. Giolito grinded through without his best stuff - bullpen (sans Marshall) was very good. Tons of hitters just battling. Nice win - despite one horrible inning.

Wasn't it in Seattle when Jose Paniagua had his epic meltdown?

Correction

Last few days - the quality at bats, the takes, driving pitch counts - all have been trending positively. This team has so much talent - whether it lives up to it or not - it just has a lot...you forget how young so many of these guys are. Will there be growing pains...sure...will all of them live up to their overall ceilings...probably not...but the reality is a lot of guys with above average ceilings on this squad.

Booom Shakalakal Shaskaallakak. WOOOOOOO

I think I've already said that 3 or 4 times more this year than I did all of last September.

Real nice ab by Robert. He pulled his head on a pitch he should have ripped (he fly's open too much on breaking balls) - but still real nice all around ab. Alright Abreu - time for your 2nd GS of the season!

Really nice 2-2 take by Robert there. Now drive this FB.

Alright Robert - how about a 2 HR night

Correction: He usually sucks in April - last month he and the rest of the league skipped April and went straight into Abreu weather!

He was 97-98 when I saw him in Anaheim.

Zach ripped that one. Alright Leury - you are due.

Why did Mercedes slow down there?

That was a really really nice defensive play.

Well played - any recommendations on powerball #'s?

I see no reason why Madrigal can stay this bad - unless he literally is a 2nd coming of Chuck Knoblach/Steve Sax. Yeah - it happens - but in the sample size of baseball players that is a massive rarity. Robbie Alomar - no - he probably isn't that...but league average...I have a hard time with him not being that. I can't see him being a below average defensive player. A meh defensive player - sure - I can buy that - he definitely has physical limitations...but so do a lot of 2nd baseman.

Robert is a superstar CF'er. I'd rather judge him on what I've seen from him the majority of the time vs. one massively comical and terrible folly. Vaughn - what do you all expect. Dude has never played the OF. It will clearly be an adventure there - that is why they will need to put in defensive replacements, etc. Clearly if Vaughn can't hit (and I'm not coming to that conclusion from the 3-4 games he's played) than they have to rethink things (and at some point you can trade for players too). It isn't like Eloy was good either. Eaton isn't that good - he's meh...but the other end of that platoon is Engel who is a phenomenal defender...so you are going to have 2 really good defenders more often than not in that OF. You also have a 3B/SS who have a ton of range - which helps cover a bit for Vaughn too. Nothing wrong with Grandal/Abreu.
