@SamOlbur No, they don’t? Steele is throwing a bullpen today and might be ready to contribute over the weekend, but isn’t an option yet
This is three *horrific* takes out of you in the last week or so, so I’m gonna go unfollow and stop trying to engage
@TheBlogfines I agree, and I also think Cubs fans should want those games at home regardless of any advantages.
Wrigley was absolutely rocking for those games last year, it was awesome.
@FantasyKash Yeah I read the whole article after I replied that. Still think KOC has to get some blame, and the vague “vet QB” framing is insane.
It’s not about a random “vet QB,” it’s about the guy you won 14 games with and the league providing a mechanism to keep him on a one year deal!
@ARESx____@StephieSmallls Why would you not count the first day you play if it’s 2 games in (x) days?
The Cubs played today and they play tomorrow? Is that 2 games in 1 day?
@startkyIeorton The mistake you make is that there’s two levels in the “got it” category. Sam Darnold “got it” (he won a SB!), but Josh Allen “REALLY got it”
We don’t know which level Caleb is yet, and it’s the difference between “Can he win a SB with Ryan Poles or not?”
@startkyIeorton@iamcogs@LucaOfTheMidway@Nate_Tice Except that Rome was wide open for like 3 second and it was a walk in TD if he throws the ball earlier (and I’ll go ahead and disagree now if the counter is that pressure demanded Caleb hold the ball as long as he did)
His arm strength (and Rome’s great catch) bailed him out
@BShulkes If it’s just based on Week 1, then sure Mahomes is too high. But then it’s also a stupid article that I’m not interested in haha. Is it just a ranking of their grades from last week?
@SamOlbur None of this makes sense to me.
They “want him to throw twice,” but if rain makes it unfeasible, you think they’d rather shut him down than change their minds, decide once was okay, and look for a low leverage spot for his first appearance in Chicago?
