This is by design. They had so many issues they couldn't fix all in one off season. They added to the linebackers and drafted for the secondary and dline. Anyone who thought the Bears were going to be good this year was fooling themselves. Next year with 2 high first round picks they either take a QB (if and when Fields doesn't pan out) or the best pass rusher.

Ozzie is not the person who I would want to pattern my life after. Although he was fun to drink with at one time. Yoda on the other hand.... To each his own

He went to Europe for a microfracture and platelet rich plasma insertion for his knee. None of which was legal in the US at the time. Not to mention his better playing through chemistry that didn't make Thomas or the team happy.

They were. He is basically saying they will monitor more closely. It's just a response to Moncada's comments.

The Sox give them an individualized off season workout plan. It's up to them to follow it.

Agreed. The most disappointing part was that the expectations were high and it seemed like a good team. The let down was tremendous.

He was a great guy. He would bring his albatross to the airshow in Osh Kosh, hang out and let people make margaritas for themselves in the plane.

Enjoying the game of baseball. It's a great sport to sit and watch.

You would think for this level of position it would be mandatory.

I agree. Useful pen arm.

To be honest, I think this is all created to take the attention away from how bad the team is. More talking about this than the team.

Wasn't the quote by JR something to the effect of "one decision-maker?" It sounded like the GM would be the President of Baseball Operations.

This too.

It was a great throw. If Robert had slid low he wouldn't have been able to make that high tag though.

Cease bobble head day.

I was at the game. Good game to watch. Very few people there. Easy tacos and fat tire access.

Season tickets were down in 2023 because they lost and didn't meet expectations in 2022.

Really. Not my experience. Everything is much easier with fewer fans. Maybe the stands at the top of our sections are just primary ones.

Congratulations. You're right. No one said fans are mindless. Bandwagon is probably a good description. Why does the team have the largest drop in fan attendance? It was the same people running the team except for Grifol. So unless you think think TLR was a a fan draw this year, it's because of the losing this year.

True. But at the end of the day none of it matters. All of the fan outrage and media storm about all of the fan apathy is only tied to winning.

If it does happen and they win, no one will care about not hiring from outside the organization.

So the real answer is the moves don't matter. Only if they win. It's possible the moves won't help them win. It's also possible, however unlikely, that they will help the team win. Either way, it's winning will cause interest by the fans and losing will cause disinterest.

Makes getting beer and food at the ballpark easier that's for sure. Fans will return if they win. This will have no bearing on fan interest.

I do that every time.

I know I wasn't necessarily questioning your comment just that general line of thinking as others have brought it up as well.
