QUOTE (GenericUserName @ Feb 20, 2018 -> 01:53 AM) Could be so he gets used to seeing pitches at those speeds again. Let him get his timing down before actually trying to hit real pitches. All of the hitters do it. Collins for example faced Brian Clark just like that and didn't swing.

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Feb 19, 2018 -> 06:31 PM) Braves are DFA'ing Mauricio Cabrera. Guy used to hit 101 mph. Sox need another flamethrower, right, right?!? 103 actually. Touched 104 in a game as well.

3rd round pick for Kempny?! I'll take it.

Same. Saw it last night. Fantastic movie.

Garfein's podcast for Tim Anderson is up. Like him asking Tim about his walks.

Robert and Eloy arrived today.

Yikes Padres.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 17, 2018 -> 10:24 AM) Chuck and Guff have done an amazing job covering the rebuild over the last year. The Kopech podcast was great. I wonder if they will do another Cornerstones show this season. Completely agree on all accounts. I also love what Kopech says about Cease too who is a personal favorite of mine in our system. Think he's going to jump in the rankings this season.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Feb 17, 2018 -> 07:21 AM) Bulls need to sit all three for the rest of the year. You don't sit the main 3 players you are trying to develop and build around. They need to restrict Lopez and Holiday's minutes. Grant as well (whomever they feel doesn't have a future at all with this team, you can easily make the case all 3 don't) and start playing Vonleh, Blakeney, Felicio, Zipser and of course the main tank commander, Cam Payne. Vonleh and Blakeney might be the only two there who might actually stick around in the future as bench pieces, but all of them need to play more.

Hawks trade Ville Pokka to Ottawa for Chris Didomenico. The last piece of that awful Nick Leddy trade officially comes to an end.

At least there's one team in Chicago that knows how to tank properly.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Feb 12, 2018 -> 10:48 AM) Gorman is my far too early hope, but if the Sox decide to go pitching, Shane McClanahan is tantalizing. Sounds like the kind of pitcher that would thrive in the Sox system. "The power lefty missed 2016 with TJ surgery after a big velo jump, but he’s back and the fastball taken another step forward, working 94-97 and hitting 99 mph. McClanahan also has an above-average slider and changeup, but fringy command." https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/mlb-draft-r...-2019-and-2020/ I'd much rather have Liberatore if we're going with a LHP with probability. No injury concerns as well with a team already projecting a TJS guy (Giolito) and a guy coming off shoulder surgery (Rodon).

Terrible tank win for the Bulls. That was a big one.

Yikes. Shades of Sam Hurd right there. As a fellow (half) Mexican, this is very disappointing to hear.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 11, 2018 -> 06:53 PM) 49ers LB Reuben Foster arrested for domestic violence and possession of an assault rifle But.. but... according to the media, Lynch robbed Pace blind and said he would've taken Foster even higher!

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Feb 11, 2018 -> 09:58 AM) He’s not wrong Not wrong, but pretty unprofessional to tweet. And Laz is known as a Hawks suck up to management.

This might be the greatest save I've ever seen. https://mobile.twitter.com/KOD1AK/status/962496538701377537

Terrible win. At least Lavine won't play tomorrow since it's a back to back (so likely loss), but now they need the other tank teams to win.

I like Lavine alot and he's exciting to watch, but he should not be getting that many shots off and Markkanen only 7. Bulls need to incorporate Lauri more in this offense not just him. He should arguably be the #1 option, at worst #2. I'll reserve complete judgement until I see Dunn out there with both of them, but when I see bench players getting more shots off... not good.

Looks like the Hawks are gonna be in the lottery this year (which honestly might be the best thing for this franchise). 4.5% odds of the #1 pick and rising.

Outstanding.
