If Opening Day was any indication, the White Sox are going to have a tough time scoring runs this season. Pedro Grifol’s lineup was limited to just three baserunners in their 1-0 Opening Day loss to the Tigers on Thursday. All three baserunners came via a single and not one made it into scoring position. […]
The Chicago Bears will take Caleb Williams #1 overall. Every sign on planet Earth points in that direction. Most experts agree it’s a formality at this point. The true intrigue for fans is what GM Ryan Poles might do at the #9 pick. There is no shortage of possibilities. Some think he will target a […]
The Chicago Cubs have a new veteran catcher in their organization, as 35-year-old Curt Casali has signed a minor league deal and is on the Iowa Cubs Opening Day roster at Triple-A. Casali broke into the majors with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2014 and his numbers at the plate from 2015-2022 were solid, relatively […]
Remember when we were so excited for the start of the season, Justin Steele was cruising and the Cubs were beating the Rangers on Opening Day? Good times. The Cubs lost 4-3 in 10 innings, but more importantly they’re going to be without Steele for at least a few weeks. So, who’s going to replace […]
One thing that GM Ryan Poles has remained consistent about is investing at premium positions. To him, those include the offensive line, pass rushers, and cornerbacks. If people thought he was exaggerating when he first took over the Chicago Bears in 2022, they better take him seriously now. Over his first two drafts, Poles has […]
The weird thing about the Chicago Bears is they might be the most predictable and unpredictable team in the top 10 of the 1st round this year. They’re predictable because everybody knows they are taking Caleb Williams 1st overall. It is as close to a lock at this point as it can get. The only […]
Game one of 162 is officially in the books. The 33,420 fans at Guaranteed Rate Field watched as the White Sox fell to their division rivals from Detroit in a tough 1-0 Opening Day loss. Thursday’s game ushered in a new era of White Sox baseball under new vice president and general manager Chris Getz. […]
Well, as if Opening Day couldn’t get worse, Cubs manager Craig Counsell told reporters that left-handed pitcher Justin Steele is expected to go on the injured list after leaving Thursday night’s game against the Texas Rangers with a hamstring injury. Steele got hurt when he fielded a bunt attempt in the fifth inning and although […]
Leading into the 2023 NFL draft, most people were convinced which direction the Chicago Bears were going. If Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter slipped to the #9 spot, and most expected he would, GM Ryan Poles had every intention to take him. Well, things played out as expected. Carter was there when Chicago went on […]
WOWWOWOWOWOWOWOW! Man, Cubs fans were certainly all over home plate umpire Chad Fairchild Thursday night because of his inconsistent strike zone, but there’s no denying that the Cubs got bailed out big time on Opening Day. With two outs and runners at first and second in the top of the ninth inning in a 2-2 […]
What the fuck man! Justin Steele just exited his Opening Day start after fielding a bunt in the bottom of the fifth inning against the Texas Rangers. The Cubs’ ace made the play, but in doing so Steele appeared to injure his left leg. He was grabbing the back of his leg. The only good […]
The Chicago Bears are taking Caleb Williams #1 overall next month. They may try to deny it, but anybody with common sense can see the signs. GM Ryan Poles and head coach Matt Eberflus have spoken glowingly about the USC quarterback at every opportunity. They didn’t show nearly the same attention to detail in their […]
The NFL always has reactionary tendencies when big-name players start getting hurt. They start looking for reasons why the injuries happened. Last season is a perfect example. Running back Tony Pollard and tight end Mark Andrews were lost to nasty tackle attempts that saw defenders land on their ankles as they were going to the […]
Christopher Morel is going to be starting at third base plenty of times this year, at least that’s the expectation for the first few months of the season. However, Morel isn’t the starting third baseman on Opening Day, as new Cubs manager Craig Counsell had a twist in his starting lineup behind left-handed pitcher Justin […]
