A Tuxedo for one last show! 🫡🥹🐐

One last time for our early morning pre @CollegeGameDay conversations with LC…

Not so fast, my friend! 🫡

@_BirdsOnTheBat @OleTimeHardball Big Hurt won back to back mvps and finished top 8 in mvp voting for seven years straight as a 1B. He was predominantly a 1B for one the greatest 7 year statistical performances in mlb history. Had a .330/.450/.600/1.050 slash line and a .992 fielding percentage.

@sheanorling @thekapman Shea won that argument. I'll agree that Swanson is still better defensively. But I thought the original premise was, who is the best SS in Chicago right now, and it's Colson.

@VinnysCorner1 Prime isn't 7th

@PurduePeter69 @MartyCaswell @FriarTerritory Exactly

[Eric Tichelbaut @EricT_07]

@TheRyan_b333 @MartyCaswell @FriarTerritory That's not what WAR means

[Eric Tichelbaut @EricT_07]

@MartyCaswell @FriarTerritory He's not wrong

[Eric Tichelbaut @EricT_07]

@MonkeyBulldoggy @SSBehavior 1981 to 2026 have been miserable. Minus 2005 and a few years.

@CourtsSports0 You drink cat piss?

[Eric Tichelbaut @EricT_07]

@inscepsean @Ecnerwal23 I wouldn't do an open checkbook. I said 5 for 150 in my reply. I just think they need to make an offer. Sox aren't going anywhere this year. He has little trade value. Try to extend him.

[Eric Tichelbaut @EricT_07]

@inscepsean @Ecnerwal23 No. I said 150 for 5 years. If he says no. So be it. But make an effort.

[Eric Tichelbaut @EricT_07]

@inscepsean @Ecnerwal23 It's not. But there's no evidence he's gonna just suck. And he mashed in Japan. He's a HR hitter that also walks a lot. For a bullshit franchise that's never given a 100 million dollar contract, it's worth a gamble. Show your fans you fucking care. If it doesn't work, oh well.

[Eric Tichelbaut @EricT_07]

@inscepsean @Ecnerwal23 His metrics and your eyes tell you he's not a fluke. He's a true 3 outcome batter, but he's producing runs scored and getting on base. Try to lock him up now before other teams will offer him 200+ million. Offer him what he was looking for this off-season. 5 for 150? But we won't

[Eric Tichelbaut @EricT_07]

@Kevbk7 @TalkinBaseball_ How did mlb teams not get it right on trout, puhols, piazza, buehrle? To name a few. Scouts are wrong just about as much as they are right. If they get 55 percent, they are incredible.

[Eric Tichelbaut @EricT_07]

@FleecedByGetz He's 6'11. It isn't easy to repeat his motion. Randy Johnson sucked for a few years. He's fine. He's deceptive, too, which is a plus.

[Eric Tichelbaut @EricT_07]

@Thomas_hook @MailManMoore I'd need a top 5 org prospect. 5 years for 150. He might say no? Go up by 5 mil to 200. I don't care if it's a risk. I'd rather spend money and bust out than not spend at all. I love the Sox so much but I can't get on board unless they spend money. They won't win if they don't.

[Eric Tichelbaut @EricT_07]

@MailManMoore @Thomas_hook I'd rather offer him an extension. Give him what he wanted before the year. Spend some money for once.

[Eric Tichelbaut @EricT_07]

@MailManMoore @Thomas_hook Probably not getting anything significant for a 1B/DH with one year left on his deal and potentially no baseball or a shortened season. They gotta extend him now before the big spenders come into play. Give him what he wanted before this year and then some on top.

[Eric Tichelbaut @EricT_07]

@crazyunclelou @chiiraqs @Dawgs_Report @CFBGuy999 Ah... We were the same program before 5 years ago...41 years without a title and another 38 years before that. ND has a couple cracks at that before they reach 41 years. You guys have been incredible for like 7-8 years. Kirby is a great coach.

[Eric Tichelbaut @EricT_07]

@Cwigg24 @4karmel @crazyunclelou That's equal. I'm probably thinking about potential. If Price has a better career in the nfl, he's a better backup because he never got the opportunity. The better player is the better player. Let's see what price does in the nfl. Michel is sitting on the couch after 5 years.

[Eric Tichelbaut @EricT_07]

@crazyunclelou @chiiraqs @Dawgs_Report @CFBGuy999 I'm probably a stupid ND fan but I think they've won a few things in the last 120 years. Let me pull out my college football almanac.
