    Offensive Line

    Not often, because it wasn’t scripted, and Campbell doesn’t like going off script

    Offensive Line

    And the troubling thing was the sideline reporter mentioned after halftime that Campbell said Memphis was showing a lot of looks we weren’t prepared for. They had 4 ******* weeks to prepare for the game, did you think they were just going to roll out with the same **** they did all year or...

    Offensive Line

    And this, I think, is Campbell’s (or his staffs) greatest flaw. We were down 19-0 until we realized we should try throwing the ball downfield. And even then, we only tried it every 5-6 plays. Yet we had guys open every ******* time. The book on ISUs offense is out - theyre stubborn, they want...

    Offensive Line

    How? The offensive line was **** in 2022. It wasn’t “stab my eyes with a fork” bad in 2023. Games like Kansas State, TCU, Cincinnati, Baylor, and BYU, I thought our offensive line was pretty impressive. The QB was sacked just twice TOTAL the first 6 games of the year. Today, they were...

    Offensive Line

    I will say, I’m impressed with what Clanton was able to put together in one year and am excited to see what he can do in year 2 now that he’ll have a year to bring a couple of guys that fit HIS system. Today was a ******* abomination, though.

    Lot of assumptions that wasn’t the live mascot they ate. I’m personally under the belief they just toasted that guy alive. Arms and legs were destroyed from the heat but the sacrifice is worth it for the delicious strudel

    Heyman says the Cubs are now the favorites to get Bellinger. I’d consider FA signings of Bellinger ($25 MM) Hoskins to 1 year ($17 MM), trade for Bieber without an extension ($12 MM), Clase ($4 MM) and trade for Gilbert from the Mariners because he eats innings. This still would give you about...

    ***Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    Rumors the last couple of days that Bellinger's price is repulsive to other teams. The good news is this has led to the Blue Jays working on a deal with Kevin Kiermeir. My guess is this takes them out of the running for Belli, but Bleacher Nation doesn't think this will impact his odds of going...

    I’m unfortunately not in the position right now to afford premium. If there’s anyway the following could be fixed, it would be much appreciated The ads the last few weeks not only take up the vast majority of the page, but they frequently take out my keyboard.

    How do you wipe your bum?

    Surely I’m not the only one who goes in sideways barehand like a karate chop, take a nice goop, and just quick wipe it on the wall. Usually only takes one wipe and you get a nice fragrance to remind you of your masterpiece to take with you the rest of the day.

    ***2023-24 MLB Off-Season Thread***

    Unless the CBT goes up significantly, which I don’t see happening because it would only benefit the Dodgers, the Dodgers will be paying over $100 MM, over 30% of their CBT, to guys no longer on their roster OR a 37 year old Yoshi Yamamoto in 2035. I’m in the minority but I don’t want a salary...

    Fortunately for the Cubs, all signs are pointing to Boras putting too high of a a ridiculous demand on Bellinger because the Yankees and Giants swerved way quick. Gut tells me Bellinger will be a Cub. They’ll match any offer other teams give him, but he’s not going to get an offer that’s...

    ***Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    Final point regarding Alonso, gut feeling tells me the reason the Cubs want a one year deal while Boras wants a multi-year deal for Hoskins is because the Cubs want the option of going Mervis, Hoskins, or Alonso in 2025. If 3B can be figured out internally, as appears to be the hope, the Cubs...

    I don't want Alonso in 2024 if we get Bellinger and/or Hoskins, who can serve as mentors for Mervis/McGeary. But just my Alonso perspective 1) The Mets have shown they're fine with paying contracts (closer to $20 MM for Alonso than $30 MM) for a better return. 2) His trade value is expected to...

    Morel hit .217 in his Winter League. 3 HRs in 106 PAs. Would've been in the bottom quarter of defensive 3B, as well. Still find it weird so many fans think that production for 5 years would be so much better than 1 year of Glasnow.

    My 12/14 wish list is the smartest and best and everything is how it should go, no debate. 1) Sign Bellinger and because of Happ, Suzuki, and prospects, you don’t worry about your outfield until after 2026. He can play CF to mentor PCA or RF/LF to relieve Happ and Suzuki. All money the next 2...

    I don’t see the Guardians ever trading Ramirez, as they said in November while other names of theirs were swirling that they plan on Ramirez retiring a Guardian. Using the trade simulator on baseballtradevalues.com, Clase (51.4) and Bieber (5.6) have a trade value of 57.00. The most even...

    Bowden came out with a new prediction list for the top 17 FAs available. Predicts Cubs: Bellinger (7 years, $181 MM) seems like a no brainer if he’d actually be up for it. Lists cubs as a “potential fit” for just about every other FA. Believes Hoskins will wait for Bellinger, and if Bellinger...

    Giants nabbed the CF from the KBO, which is a win for us in that the Giants were considered favorites for Bellinger. My guess is it’s us, Jays, and Mariners. He’s probably overpriced for some of the smaller clubs that could use him.
