Derrick Rose dressed up as 2011 Derrick Rose for Halloween.

So it took you a mere 4 weeks to change an opinion that you claimed was based on a hundred years of this franchise’s misery? And you wonder why people don’t take your opinion seriously.

Sorry to break it, your opinion of Chicago QBs do not represent all Bears fans.

When you're getting a $300m contract, the difference between a $300m and $310m contract becomes minuscule. The monetary difference does not outweigh the values the other team could offer - prestige, readiness to compete, org culture, marketability, etc.

I read the first page and projections for Ryu, Marvin and Donaldson to name a few seem way off. As for Machado, I have to agree it will take $350 mil for him to sign here, $20-30 mil above market price. So we could pretty much rule him out given JR’s history.

What I got from this thread is plan: sign everyone for less than what they will actually get so it would fit in our payroll, never mind that White Sox isn't a preferred destination for most of these players.

The signing is <$300k, and is most likely done as a favor to Eloy. Hope this helps repair the business relationship between Eloy and the Sox. If he turns out to be a prospect in any form that’s just bonus.

When I think of an average QB in the league, I think of Flacco, Dalton, and Tannerhill, who has been to playoffs multiple times and one has a SB ring. So being an average QB is actually a pretty high floor. Mitch's number is heavily skewed by the the last 2 games so you'd want to see more of these games out of him before overhyping him. But he's definitely trending in the right direction.

Without trading for Mack, this would have been a barely top 10 defense instead of top 3. So you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

Rooting for Rockies to come out on top today, and let the evil franchises fight for the last spot tomorrow.

It’s wasn’t all pretty, but we are only a Kyle Fuller dropped catch away from 4-0. Think about that for a second.

Rays bullpen are a bunch of journeymen or inexperienced arms. Teams has since followed suit do not have a dominant bullpen by any means. I think it’s a matter of mixing things up and keeping hitters off balance.

It doesn't make sense to me to pay 1/$7M for Shields or someone like him when you could potentially get similar or better production through deploy a strategy that a few teams had success with already. That $7M could be allocated elsewhere.

Do we really need 5 “inning eaters” in 2019? Spend the money to get a quality #2 starter. Roll with Rodon, FA, Lopez, Gio, then an opener for 5th spot, use Covey, Stephens, Adams, or Guerrero as the primary pitcher. We could work this strategy until Cease is ready then we could reevaluate.

He left out a .415 BABIP. In the long run the BA will come down, but I hope the OBP and SLG stays or even goes up.

D Line has played well again, but I am not too impressed with the secondaries.

No one gets all strike 3's called correctly, so the hypothetical slash line is a fallacy. It's also common for umps to miss strike 3's that should have been called. I bet if you run the numbers, Moncada would be near the top as well for strikeout looking on pitches in the zone. He just doesn't swing on 2 strikes, and it's been said many time already that he needs to learn to protect on 2 strikes and should not leave anything close to the zone to the umpires discretion. Just like the NBA, umpires in MLB will give benefit of the doubt to stars like Harper, Trout, or Votto, Moncada isn't there yet. He needs to learn to be a smarter hitter.

Relax folks. This loss is a slap in the face but one thing I know for certain is Trubisky isn’t this bad. Even when he debuted last year he wouldn’t be missing throws by as much as he did tonight. I think he’s out of practice from sitting too much in the preseason, still learning Nagy’s offense, and just crumbled under pressure when Rodgers turned up the heat. However, if Trubisky doesn’t start showing some progress by end of the year, we need to start looking elsewhere (here’s where losing the picks hurt). I know Mitch is raw, but you should be able to tell what you have in your hands by end of year 2.

Bears gonna be Bears

The Smith sack then Mack pick 6 was probably the best defensive sequence I’ve seen as a Bears fan.

A's have overachieved. It is this teams having seasons like this that gives you hope that if Sox add a couple of pieces and the young players take a step forward (much like Chapman from 2017 -18) that you could get back into the race.

I couldn’t help but think if this guy burns his coffee in the morning he will basically considered his whole day fucked.

Basabe is a prospect by any definition (close to top 100 in several lists). Just stop already.

SHUT THE FUCK UP DUDE. Your posts are garbage. UCL tears do not happen in one game. Coop did not cause an UCL tear on him by pitching him 14 innings. But let’s pretend Coop didn’t do his job because Hansen and Dunning is also hurt in the minors right? Let’s also ignore the fact that everyone was down on Rodon this time last year but he has recovered better than any of us cuz of thought. Typical garbage posts pretending sky is falling in time of adversity trying to find someone to blame. REAL MATURE.

You said bears aren’t picking in the top 15 anymore but will pick in the bottom third which simply isn’t true. With how good NFC is and how raw Trub was last year, I think we’re likely to finish in 7-12 again than 20-30. I think Bears made this move also thinking they are ready to be good, which I don’t think it’s true. This is a lot of value we’re giving up and I could only hope it pays off. It’s also worth noting Mack wasn’t as good last year compared to his first 2 years. You just hope it’s because the Raiders poor performance as a team, not that teams have figured him out.
