The asterisk is that he will play left shortstop. Meidroth will play right shortstop, also known as 2B.

Maybe this will force the team to actually spend some more money on a closer and starter. This doesn't align with our competitive window at all but you don't throw $41 mil and 2 years at this guy just to watch this team blow 20+ saves again.

This is how I'm thinking about it. Sure O'Hearn is safer, but the upside with Murakami is insane. I can't hate that they're trying here.

Burkhardt's emotion in big moments is what makes him so good. He and Brady were basically yelling the whole time for the last 2 minutes of regulation and OT.

Well they're kind of forced to now. Caleb has had a ton of options to throw to since day 1 with the Bears. This is probably the only time where DJ is our only good receiver still healthy.

I haven't been around long enough to see Bears Packers games from the 90s...so my experience in this rivalry has mostly been the Packers kicking our ass after the Lovie years. I know there's gonna be some recency bias in this, but this has to be the best Bears Packers game in the last 30 years right? I'm sure Packers fans might say the 2013 week 17 or 2018 week 1 might be better cause they won, but none of those games featured 10 pt come backs with 5 minutes left and a walk off touchdown in OT.

This was like watching a Eberflus defense. They sat in zone all game and never got much pressure rushing 4. Allen getting beat deep twice in the last matchup made him extremely conservative. It would have worked better if the offense didn't keep stalling right outside FG range for most of the game.

This was Caleb's breakout moment. The throws to Walker and Moore were absolutely insane. It's crazy how he just activates when he's in gotta have it situation.

DJ Moore needs to earn his contract this Saturday.

Did @Chicago White Sox write that?

I think there was one play yesterday where I was pissed at Caleb. It was the 4th and 3 around the Cleveland 45 and he had Kmet wide open in the flat for a first down. I don't even think he looked his way in the 4 seconds he had before he took a sack. Those are the drive sustaining plays he has to hit to take his game to the next level.

Any other year, it seems like 10 wins gets you in. There are scenarios where 11 wins doesn't even get us in this year, which is absurd.

Yup, a win against Detroit gets us in because they max out at 11 wins right now.

Yeah making the playoffs in any way is house money for this team this year. Seeding and getting a bye would be great things to worry about, but you gotta get in first.

That was just about the best possible Sunday for the Bears. The only thing that would have been better is if the Niners and Seahawks lost. But the Lions losing is huge. It basically makes it that if the Bears win 1 of the last 3, they're in the playoffs.

Collins has elite plate discipline, something you can never coach to a guy like Fletcher.

That trade makes no sense. Collins was in the conversation for ROTY until he slumped in September. Mears was better than Zerpa last year. What do the Brewers see in Zerpa that I don't?

Yeah but they managed to avoid having an elite pot 1/2 team in their group. They had to deal with England in 2022 and Portugal/Germany in 2014. With this being a home World Cup anything less than finishing 2nd in this group would be considered a major disappointment. Hell, not winning this group would be a disappointment for me.

This is far better than the groups they got in 2022 and 2014.

At least Carlson should be a better pick than Gonzalez.

Start thinking about 3rd base Colson, Roch is coming

LETS GOOOO

We're at least top 3

KC is not first

I swear to god if the Royals pull a Mavericks...
