@NathanLyoke1@DanClarkSports Sorry Nathan losing battle for you here even if Dan Clark’s opinions are way off base he was specifically talking to Verlander about him riding his brother’s coattails saying PCA didn’t have to do that.
@BigJ52@WaddleandSilvy Less concerned with the 1st round bust (all GMs in baseball have them). The fact that they won’t give up on him is far more concerning
@xZachhly@joelvmoran Uhhhh … defense? It is important and just like his father his lack of athleticism and quickness on D is going to be a problem against the freak athletes in the NBA.
@IlliniNation23@TheFieldOf68@Recruit2Illini Yes but my opinion is based on statistical facts. Now if Andrej is going to average 20 plus and shoot efficiently from 3 then you know something I don’t. I’m not a hater I love him coming back but Blackwell is a different impact player
@thescorechicago@mharrisonair@grotesports What are you even trying to say Marshall? Isn’t this what any sports fan wants and what sports is about at the professional level - Winning? Isn’t that how you measure successful athletes in the media? This argument has no real value . Are you buds with the Reinsdorf’s 😂???
@thescorechicago@mharrisonair@grotesports It’s not entitlement to put pressure on ownership and management to win. Cubs have the highest ticket prices in baseball so yes you expect them to pay and win. Bulls and Sox fans should be doing the same.
@IlliniNation23@TheFieldOf68@Recruit2Illini You don’t know ball if that’s true. Blackwell immediately makes ILL a top 5 if not top 3. Andrej is a very good player but Blackwell is the closest to a Wagler replacement ILL can get
@DOM_Frederic@BobertRooden Skeptical about what other than a meaningless opinion? Baseball is pretty easy to measure value. As Jimmy points out look at his numbers each season this was a great deal for the Cubs.
@DOM_Frederic You clearly don’t know ball if skeptical. It was a team friendly deal for a 6+ WAR player last year who has consistently gotten better each year. His D is top tier, he makes a ton of of contact and is starting to walk more now.
@PatriotSassy I was raised Catholic & am confused by your commentary. The Catholic Church has been nothing but political throughout history. If Catholic your entire life you should know the history of the Church & its extreme political roots. Pretty much the majority of organized religion.
@thekapman Kap you are completely right… but it’s the Bulls ownership & anyone who knows anything about the Reinsdorf’s should have expected this. Not sure why any Chicagoan continues to support such garbage owners. They prey off Chicago fans undying loyalty and that won’t change.
@MAbramsboxing@191Norka@BillSimmons Define well? TV money is what matters not just ticket sales. Happy to be proved wrong but the league has yet to be profitable
@MAbramsboxing@BillSimmons Not sure that matters. It’s economics & he is right in this instance. League isn’t even profitable but relying on NBA money. Not saying it’s fair but this is a business decision that will likely lead to continued losing money which is ultimately what defines league success
