Ok, without going through all 38 pages of this thread, you think this kid would ever consider a preferred walk on of some sort? Give himself a chance to prove whatever is holding our coaches back on him then he picks up one of our 2020 scholarships? I know, longshot and wishful thinking. He's...

A top 25 Basketball season could make this winter go a lot quicker than last for sure!

Pemsl just not really a fit for a D1 level program if he can't shoot a jumper at his size.

It isn't launch angle necessarily, it is that ever freaking pitcher is throwing 95+ now also. Plus they have advanced spring rates, video, tunneling etc. that is making pitchers more effective. I'm actually for them lowering the mound slightly so more balls can be put in play. I would also...

Can Duke Bball and Alabama Football just be given their respective trophies now so the rest can all play for their own title. Geesh they both look like pro teams out there. I know they are studs, but I was still impressed how Coach K had all those freshmen playing as one unit last night in the...

Dang why was I so late to the party?

TV TEDDY VALENTINE has NOT... I REPEAT NOT BEEN REHIRED BY THE BIG TEN THIS SEASON AS AN OFFICIAL!

I think the most concerning thing for me is that we can't just say "boy we had so many close games last year if we can just do a little better _____ we can win those". We were flat out humiliated in many of our games last year. Not even close enough to say "what if". We need vast...

well, Chili Davis was fired. Interesting that they place most of the blame on the hitting coaches. Some of it boils down to certain guys just aren't as clutch as we thought they would be.

Saw that, but then read today that the report wasn't true. Not sure where that even came from, but its amazing how fast things spread and get out. That said, I'm sure the Cubs have tried to lock him up early but Boras always declines

Well said at the end. I think they realized someone is always gunning for you, always wanting to take your spot and nothing is guaranteed. Schwarber had very few doubles also which concerns me, just some Homers. He has to be better, he gets paid to hit and hit only. Everyone but Javy, Riz and...

Yes your fault! You forced me to start this with your slacking! :)

Davis signed for 3 years $52 million. Morrow signed for 2 and $18. Not even close, just no way the Cubs were going to spend nearly $18 mil a year on a closer. Did they swing and miss on Morrow staying healthy? Absolutely, should have known better. But for most of the year the Bullpen...

I never heard they were worried about arm issues. I think they thought Yu was a small step up to be an Ace and pitch like he did against them in Game 3 of NLCS last year. That and they just couldn't come to an agreement with Jake on years and dollars. I think the latter is the main issue.

Not sure how much they'll have to spend this offseason. But bottom line is what the front office did this past offseason set us back because the YU and Chatwood deals bombed and we new Morrow was overused by the Dodgers. The pressure is on them to make productive signings this year. We need a...

IMO 95 wins out of this team was a great job by Maddon and crew. Last night still stung though don't get me wrong. No Yu, no Morrow, no Bryant much of year, Russell a bum, no strop when we needed him, Chatwood bombed, 42 of 43 days of games and travel... along with an offense that only the...

Game went about how I expected it to honestly. If we couldn't score early like first two innings we wouldn't really score at all. Without Morrow or Strop we are just THIN out there. Lucky we only gave up 3 runs the Brewers had 10+ hits. Brewers are just the better team at this point, doing...

Man, one game playoff tomorrow crazy that both Central and West need another game to decide! Hoping we can pull it out, the Brewers are on fire.

Gutty performance by Lester, that is why he is hard not to like. Just a true competitor. He clearly didn't have his best stuff, no command of his breaking ball all night, yet managed to get in 6 innings and no runs. Huge win. Cards will be gunning for us, gonna be a tough series this weekend.

Just amazing that this lineup just seems to have never gotten hot all year long. I've been waiting for it, expecting it, and it has never happened. Every time we get runners RISP it seems like there is 2 outs. Who is going to come up with the big 2 out hit? on the flip side, the Brewers have...
