Don't get me wrong, I really like Mahomes. Way more than Watson or Jimmy G, in fact. My point was more that every week, there's a new young QB that Trubisky is being unfavorably compared to, and now it happens to be Mahomes.

Because that logic just doesn't work in reality. The Bears could trade for Aaron Rodgers this afternoon. With your logic, Aaron Rodgers would then "suck". You just can't use the "because X happened before, X is going to happen once again" line of thinking when it's just not something that can be proven mathematically, but rather is more likely just sheer luck.

If I had to make a complaint re:Nagy, his clock management on the drive to end the 2nd quarter was abysmal. The Seahawks' field goal to end the half is 100% on him.

Hollywood as hell

Replace "Mahomes" in every post with "Watson" and that's what you had last year. NFL fans are so reactionary. We're literally years from knowing who's better between Mahomes, Watson, and Trubisky.

Sanchez

A full season (next year) of what we've seen since June for Anderson would make him a top 5 defensive shortstop in baseball.

But the other 8 teams that I listed do. DSJ/Doncic/Barnes/Jordan is a pretty good core. Not as good as LeBron/Ingram/Kuzma/Ball, but good enough that depth and coaching can make them a contender for the 8 seed

Then I guess people are gonna be really surprised when the Lakers either miss the playoffs or lose to GSW/Rockets in the first round. I didn't know that people were high on them for this season

His 2nd hit yesterday was encouraging. It was a routine grounder to first that he hustled out and turned into a single. Not that hustling was ever a problem, but we all thought he’d have a few hits a season that are purely due to speed and that was one of them

His slider is great but the command is off today

Apparently they want Jose Rondon to play the outfield. Maybe he’ll be the super-sub

Debatable. I understand your point but I don't know if they're still a playoff team. For this season, I'd argue that the Warriors, Rockets, Jazz, Thunder, Pelicans, Blazers, Timberwolves, Nuggets, and maybe Mavericks have better rosters. The West is just a bloodbath and LeBron might not be enough for the Lakers to sneak in ahead of more complete teams

Moncada

If his defense is that bad, we should sign Grandal to catch (trade Castillo for whatever you can get), keep Omar as the backup, and have Collins eventually be the 1B/DH and spell the catchers a few times a month. The Evan Gattis role (circa 2016). I think the bat will play.

World. Champs.

I really don't get it. It's a long-term play and they have some young pieces but going to a Western Conference team was him saying he doesn't care about rings anymore, because he sure as hell isn't winning one any time soon. I don't think they're any better than an 8 seed this year. West is just too stacked.

Twins players are irked about Buxton and his service time manipulation. Not the same case as Eloy but still interesting that the players are complaining

I'd rather just give 550 PAs to Rondon for cheap to see what he can do

SSS just isn't good since their top dogs left.

Also, this was one of those 10 or so games this year that Tim Anderson won pretty much on his own with his defense and timely hitting.

Yup. There's some serious power potential in Rondon's bat. He really, really needs a full season of MLB at bats.

I think this would've been a good post in June. It's not accurate with his approach post-ASB, though.
