Only this org thinks 212 PA in AAA is enough to develop a player. Vaughn was rushed and now Colas.

https://theathletic.com/4721327/2023/07/25/blackhawks-rocky-wirtz/ Pretty good article from Lazerus. McDonough is the true culprit for the Beach stuff. That's not to say Rocky didn't have his fair share of blame from that tirade with the reporters but McDonough always kept stuff away from his bosses, even dating back to his Cubs President days.

A very polarizing owner. Did alot of good (basically brought this franchise back from the dead and ill always be grateful), but the Beach stuff and especially that outburst taints his legacy. I do wonder if we see a power struggle with the Wirtz family on who will own the team. I hope Rocky is giving his son Danny full control in his will or something. I know he and Peter were not seeing eye to eye on how to run the team (Peter sided more with his father Bill if I remember correctly and Rocky went a different direction thank god).

Yea Bummer and his 2.35 FIP.

All Kelenic sucks/Harold jokes to the side, I feel for the kid. It was a stupid thing he did, but he definitely wears his heart on his sleve. Feel terrible for him.

Balta comparing the advancements of steroids from the 80s to the 00s is hilarious.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Of course.

Yikes Jimmy.

Hmm.. so Hawks got a free 2nd round pick and threw the player a bone. Whatever. Ironically enough, Bailey and Perry share the same agency. Might go good with negotiations down the road.

Hall + Bailey for Bedard to play with. I like it.

Player comp "Nick Madrigal" my ass.

Happy Connor Bedard day Hawks fans!

We thought the same thing with La Russa.

No. I'm implying I want him fired.

That's why other than Giolito, probably best to wait till the offseason in my opinion.

I don't want Hahn or even some of these scouts making the decisions on prospects though.

If the Sox ever trade Robert they better get a fucking HAUL for him. But I don't even want Hahn or these scouts in charge of that.

Kenny always gets his guy. ?

Look whose coming for the Buccos.

He needs to go back to AAA. Unacceptable cuz he's too good.

A bit light IMO.

It's like Moncada and Eloy are piggy backing IL stint bets with each other.

At least he'll have his music career to fall back on.

This question has been asked alot over the years on this board. So instead of my long answer, I'll just sum it up in two words. Frank. Thomas.
