I think this game is already official since the visiting team has made 15 outs and we're leading. I know in 2020, they continued non-official games, but I don't know if they changed it back since.

It counts. If they don't finish it, they'll just pick it up tomorrow.

We might be starring 7-14 in the face by Monday. I think you really need to think about a re-tool if they don't show some signs of life soon.

They're hitting the ball hard and it's either dying at the track or right at people. You'd think the luck would turn around eventually, but who knows when that might be. I feel like the team has basically only played games in the Midwest in cold crappy weather. That said, it doesn't explain the terrible defense.

I'm not sure how they can even get a trade going that works out money-wise. They'd have to include Vuc, Coby, and Patrick Williams just to get to Gobert's salary figure. Then when you have all that money tied up in one guy, there's no way you can sign guys who can shoot the 3 to help when DeRozan gets triple teamed. A trade for a guy like Jakob Poetl makes a lot more sense than Gobert. He may not be the defensive player Gobert is, but he will help massively over Vucevic. If you can get him for Coby and a FRP, I think you take that all day. Poetl is a good passer like Vuc, he just doesn't shoot the ball at all past the FT line. With how Vuc shot the ball in the mid-range and 3 this year, you really might not be missing much if you replaced Vuc with Poetl. Then you can try to off-load Vuc's expiring contract to get some 3 & D wings to make teams respect the Bulls offense around the perimeter. They can also sign somebody like Young, Boucher, or Covington with the MLE.

I don't think he knows where his stuff is going. Like the article said, he just tries to throw it down the middle and let his movement do the rest.

I found this interesting. Could the new ball be messing with Bummer's sinker? I've read the new balls have bigger seams which is why we've heard it has more drag.

Woah, I didn't know they had statcast for minor league games. Cool.

If Musk was an owner, he'd guarantee that the team would win a championship by the all star break.

Yeah it's hard, especially since I've been so plugged in the last 2 years.

Say what you want about Renteria, the players played hard for him.

Yeah I'll follow along, but I'm not gonna waste my time on a team if they play like this.

I kept my promise and didn't watch. Unfortunately it didn't work.

So is Bummer now the Kimbrel of the bullpen?

Vaughn and Burger are not middle infielders. Stop it.

I'll take one for the team.

Just wanted to let you guys know that I didn't watch a single minute of this game and they won. So until they lose again, I'm gonna not watch.

How severe is the surgery going to be? This will probably scare some teams off from giving him a max.

He and Abreu are 2 of the biggest reasons why this losing streak is at 8.

You think the players would like how smug Steve is? He's not manager material.

Well, at least that would mean he's no longer the 3rd base coach.

Ozzie hasn't coached in a decade though. I'm not sure he's the best guy to throw into the fire.

Yeah, I don't want Ozzie back either. The problem is that if you do get rid of La Russa mid-season, you're going to have a hard time getting the manager you really want. The next guy up will most likely be Cairo. The choices really are between shit and a shit sandwich.

1 77 year old out, another 77 year old in

Yup, we've really dug our own grave with the errors and bad relief pitching this past week. Had we not blown the 2 games in Minnesota with the errors and the bullpen implosion, we win 2 games on the road trip and things don't look so dire.
