True but had Rodon been off board I bet we went Nola

I have never seen johnson talk this negatively about the bulls, bernstein pulls out these quotes in his latest: https://670thescore.radio.com/bernstein-bulls-mess-needs-fixing-losing-streak-boylen "Now where do you go?" he asked. "What do you do? These are really troubling times for the Bulls. Something's got to break here -- something's got to give, because what's happening right now is not working."

Well this is progress in that they didn't play wendell with a torn ligament.

sorry one more, from boylen on trading justin holliday 15. I asked Boylen after the game the biggest issue for the team defensively right now. “Well, I think one thing is we traded one of our best defensive players and we’re looking for somebody else to step up,” Boylen said. “That’s an issue. We had a veteran guy that could guard. He’s a lockdown defender. And we’re looking for our young guys to grow into that role. We’ve had moments where they have. That’s just part of it. That’s part of what we’re trying to do, give those guys an opportunity to play. We’re learning about them. They’re learning what they need to do better. That’s all part of this season, a season of discovering what we have and what they can do and what they need to work on. And this (Denver) is a good team. This was the No. 1 team in the West until this week, and they played well. You’ve got to give them credit, too.”

from darnell maybury in the athletic: 11. That brief defensive bump the Bulls flashed at the beginning of the Boylen era? Long gone. Teams have averaged 122.3 points per 100 possessions against the Bulls in the past eight games. That’s 5.1 points per 100 worse than last-place Cleveland.

I almost guarantee yolmer is on roster next year, leury would be odd man out, since they kinda shoehorned him back into being an infield role too.

I would say rose back is totally likely but I think rose holds ill will toward bulls front office.

I'm telling you, there are so many random users that pop up in my feed that i have no idea how i followed them (it seems like a pretty deliberate action)

FATHOM STOP CALLING THE SCORE

not following. What's douchey about saying that.

But there's also this: Maybe this dad doesn't know anything, but is trying his darndest to get closer to manny now that he's about to get paid, and loves the attention that was showered on him by a reporter just because he's tied to him.

Totally believe that this is just a family misunderstanding difference between offers and interest.

I feel like it's fairly easy to acquire capable point guards (despite the bulls recent record) and would rather they go bigger there.

I mean the panels regardless are the same 5 things anyways. "RICK I THINK BALL PLAYERS ARE SOFT THEY SHOULD DO PUSHUPS" "why Did you do that shitty thing" "how great are you at your job?" etc

I think realistically the amt of people that follow that every move are extreeeemely small and they really don't even think about it. He also could have been a suggested follow he accidentally clicked on, i would say there are at least 5-10 people in my feed i have no idea who they are and would imagine i followed on accident.

I really think he will sign! But I legitimately do not believe it will be before soxfest anymore. I really do think this is gonna be a deal that adds some new wrinkles and changes the game (a la the swellopt, or my preferred term the infloption)

I have to say I always enjoy the panels at soxfest but there was a potential they'd either be a lovefest (Sign harper or machado) or a shooting gallery (sign neither), but I had not anticipated when neither happen. I actually think it could be pretty boring. Too many people will ask about it, hahn won't be able to say anything interesting, ... worst case scenario really (from a soxfest standpoint)

bulls record w/ hoiberg (missing dunn, portis, valentine, markannen, forced to play parker) 5-19 bulls record w/ boylen (missing valentine, portion missing with lavine) 5-16 Markannen looks worse under boylen. WCJ looks worse. Dunn looks better via catering to his worst tendencies (3pt shooting down, mid range up). The rest of the league is talking about getting AD. There are now appeals in media to michael reinsdorf though to start fresh. This franchise with the right hire could skyrocket right away. They need to absolutely clean house though.

The "growing into power" thing is harder to believe for me from a college hitter that was a power hitter in college, and had his drought not in birmingham but in one of our friendliest power environments. But it's not that he can't do it, it's that I now think it's much less likely than prior to last year. He certainly could find that motion that taps into his power, but he hasn't shown it yet and so it's hard for me to say "he's definitely our 1b of the future" especially when we are already collecting what hopefully will be plus bats that may not have great positional defense.

If he get's a minor league deal then come aboard. surprisingly he wouldn't actually be worse than other pitchers on our pitching staff.

If you draft vaughn it's because you believe he has a monster bat that makes those other guys just guys. I hope we dont' draft vaughn though.

I'm pessimistic on sheets. When you look at even average 1b, they often came up in minors as something else, and they freakin destroy the minors. The idea that he'll hit enough to justify it is unlikely to me after last year, and he's not evan white with the glove. Someone of Palka/Collins/Burger/FA/trade will be our 1b of future.

Martin Perez is only 27? Maybe he'd be a good addition. Let me check on those staaaooohhhmy god

I think realistically it means while there is two eager sides, they are still working out a contract that will be first of its kind and not just in AAV.
