    Very boring and very Cubs oriented.

    The Score is going to be Cubs oriented, they're now their Flagship. Expecting otherwise is dumb. 

    The Cubs are more popular so they're going to get more time on the airwaves, it is what it is. Take your White Sox content when you can get it. The Score used to talk more Sox when they were their radio home, and that was Score Management's choice and not the Sox. I'm sure the Sox would have rather stayed on 670 but when the Cubs became available they jumped on it.

    I think tonight was a little bit of turning point for me. They shouldn’t have won that game seeing as Rodon went 2 IP. They found a way. They had like 75 runners LOB but they still found a way to get the W. I guess my point is....I now feel like this team should win most nights...and it feels great. 

    When is the inevitable WS matchup with the Padres? I Can't wait for the narrative about Tatis and Machado. :rolleyes:

    Yeah, don't want to get too hung up on this but here are some classic crazy tinder broad profile quotes... not from girls on tinder but from Trevor bauer.

    “For the longest time, I just couldn’t figure out why everyone hated me,” he says. “I used to feel really bad for myself. Like, Why don’t I have any friends? Why don’t girls like me? Why does everyone s—- talk me? Am I really that bad of a person?”

    One morning, during his junior year at Hart, Bauer returned home from an early pool workout, took a shower and looked at himself in the mirror, feeling sorry for himself as usual. Then something flipped. “I don’t see anything that I dislike,” he told himself. “I’m going to go off to college and play baseball. I’m successful. I’m smart. I like myself.” From that day forward, he says, “I just stopped giving a f—- what people thought of me. And now I just don’t care.”

    I don't think that's all that bad. I had similar thoughts to those before I knew I had asperger's. 

    My opinion is be yourself. If other people don't like it, fuck'em. As long as you're not infringing on other people and/or being a general asshole. 

    I'm grating and outspoken and not a lot of people like me either. Sounds like a guy who was trying to find himself. Nothing wrong with that. As long as you accept you're not for everyone it's fine.

    People say Bauer is a prick and I've seen a few of his videos and he seems nothing like a dick. Outspoken yes but really honest and speaks his mind.

    ^^^

    Bauer is outspoken and grounded in reality.

    Huff is outspoken, a racist and a douche.

    lyou don't know much about Trevor bauer it seems. That wasn't out of character and he was not joking. That's who bauer is and how he acts.

    I haven't seen much that was that douchey out of him. 

    If it wasn't a joke I'm disappointed.

    He had a brigade of grown men on Twitter harass a 18 year old girl because she said she wasn't a fan of his when she was tweeting to Alex Bregman. He then blamed the girl, refused to apologize and acted like he was being bullied by her. It was quite crazy.

    Ok i didn't see that, I think he was probably joking and took it too far. Seems out of character. 

  7. Ok I looked up Bauer's page and he's absolutely destroying Aubrey Huff. It's hilarious. He's opinionated and out there but I have no problem with him being personally out there. Nothing I saw was that egregious. He's a fun follow and I stand by that. Had a post praising MLB for allowing players to protest during the anthem. 

    What the hell is there to complain about?

    Him bullying that woman on Twitter wasn't a great look.

    I didn't see that. I have no idea what his political views are but his baseball takes are accurate. 

    I follow him on Twitter and haven't seen anything incredibly egregiously racist or of the like.

    Bro, this is why you get mocked. You have no idea what is ACTUALLY happening with either guy, yet you have already released them.

    I wouldn't have had an argument if they non-tendered Rodon last winter and I'd try Lopez in the pen if his shoulder isn't trashed. He's really bad as a starter though. 

    Lopez was bordering on a demotion.

    Man Trevor Bauer would be really hard to root for, don't get me wrong I would but it would be a chore.

    Why? He's awesome. He'd be really easy to root for for me. If the Sox signed him to a 5 year deal I'd buy his jersey.

    Dude. Why?  I mean what is the point here of already panicking about what is going to happen in February when we have zero idea what is actually wrong. 

    It's about availability with Rodon and performance+injury for Lopez. 

    Rodon hasn't been available for 3 years now and Lopez has also been bad or injured for 2 years.

    When was the last time he was fully healthy?  2016?  His arm is just glass.  
     

    I cant get invested in pitching prospects for this reason.  So many get hurt.  Get veteran pitching through free agency and put the rest of the roster together through good draft picks

    Yeah 16.
