    ***Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    MLB.com wasting no time updating prospects lists. Has Busch as our 3rd ranked prospect and Ferris as Dodgers 5th Cubs Top Prospects (mlb.com) Will be interesting if they view him as the day 1 starter at 3B or will he play 1B. Probably depends on if they still sign Hoskins or Bellinger but...

    ***Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    Bote is not on the 40 man roster. He was removed from the 40 man when he was sent outright to Iowa on 11/10/22. In order to call him up to Chicago they have to add him back to the 40 man and he no longer has any minor league options so he'd have to be DFA if they were to send him back down...

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    Exactly my thoughts, I hate her whiney antics when she doesn't get a foul called yet she gets away with so many offensive fouls herself too with that "chicken wing" push off she does. Especially in that situation she throws a fit and the game was already out of reach for Purdue at that point so...

    Didn't watch a second of it live, this just popped up on a feed when I was looked at stuff last night.

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    They didn't show you these 2 highlights either of her getting a T for screaming at a ref for not calling a foul (sure doesn't look like there was one they missed on her drive) when they were up 22. Earlier in the game.got chippy over this call too. This one is a tough call, she chucked up...

    He wasn't on the 40 man roster so a call up would mean to DFA someone to bring him up then have to DFA him again if they needed to send him back down. He did ok in Iowa but nothing that merited a call up. I would rather have added Vasquez to the 40 (hes on it now) for a call up over Bote based...

    **** WBB: Game Thread - Iowa State vs. #24 West Virginia 6:30 ESPN+ ****

    Helluva come back. Love this team's determination and I think after all the transfers in the offseason and not having Ryan to start the season starting 4-0 in conference play relying heavily on freshmen was not something we saw coming. This team plays hard and are so fun to watch. The...

    I'm not a fan of signing Chapman but if they did 3 years is the max I'd go. I'm not comfortable with 7 for Bellinger as I want to see more than 1 good year given the analytics on him. My guess is no one has come close to 7 else he would be signed by now. 5 years max on him and ideally I would...

    How many years you willing to go on Belli and Chapman? I'd probably go more years on Belli than Chapman, both concern me if they can sustain the productivity at the play especially Chapman didn't have a spectacular year offensively last season. No denying both are gold glove caliber defenders...

    MAGIC MILAN: Clutch jumper from Milan Momcilovic helps ISU topple No. 2 Houston, 57-53

    Can't remember what show it was I heard it on but might have been one of the coaches corners before a game or weekly show where they were talking with an assistant coach that worked on Tamin's 3 point shot over the offseason. They talked about how they worked on being consistent with the...

    MAGIC MILAN: Clutch jumper from Milan Momcilovic helps ISU topple No. 2 Houston, 57-53

    Tamin mentioned this too when he was being interviewed after the game by the ESPN guys how they felt disrespected to be underdogs on their home court. I love this mindset and I'm sure TJ is preaching it all the time that we have to protect home court and let let teams beat us in Hilton. If we...

    Vegas oddsmaker on radio this morning

    Apparently that guy must not follow NET rankings as Big 12 is firmly in 1st there and currently projected to have the most teams in the tournament as well.

    Would be interesting to know what team(s) had offers to him to have some perspective why he chose the Cubs over them. I mean if it was a team that was a lot further off from competing or not a major market with the resources that would make sense. I'm sure the Seiya connection helped too but...

    It will be interesting to see what the actual financial deals of the Shota deal are. Ideally having some team options and/or incentive based bonuses tied to it. Have a reasonable baseline and if he performs well he gets paid more and leave some wiggle room for both player and team to opt out...

    Watching Jason Parkin reporting live on TV in the middle of a Des Moines residential street that has not been plowed yet I lived on a street like that. Thankful we moved out of Des Moines over 10 years ago. Already had our street plowed several times today in Grimes. I realize they have a lot...

    My guess is they want Amaya to become the everyday catcher in 2024 and use Gomes less than they did in 2023. Gomes will turn 37 in May and last year was the 2nd most games he's played in his career so if you want to keep him healthy and fresh he can't be the primary guy for the bulk of the...

    Survivor 45

    The first episode of Survivor Guatemala was a good one as they had to trek through the jungle on day 1 to find their camps and I believe they even had to camp out on night one because neither team reached their destination that day. It was a cool season too because they were basically living in...

    Yeah Votto probably not a great option the more you look at it. Of the relievers Palencia has the biggest upside for sure. I think Rucker is probably on his last chance this year, he seems like a AAAA type of arm where he does well at Iowa but can't get that success to translate in Chicago so...

    If they really wanted to troll the Survivor contestants get a former survival expert from an actual survival show like Les Stroud of Survivorman or Cody Lundin from Dual Survival to host. Have them constantly tell the contestants they are doing it all wrong, lol. I am totally joking here but...
