We weren’t given any specifics today. Think it’s safe to assume they’re dealing with head/upper body-related injuries given the falls they took.

Exactly. Wherever there is a market deficiency, they pounce.

I would definitely not try to mimic what the Brewers are doing. Next year they may come out and try to slug a lot more. They’ll always try to adapt against the industry. Cubs - do your own thing - compete every year.

This dude still has his Jordan agenda. Let it go.
Isiah Thomas says LeBron James and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are the two greatest players of all time. “I don’t know if I can get to three others.” (h/t @NycVipers )

I think a lot of us (including me) want to take every Brewer game as a "See the Cubs should be doing this" thing and there absolutely is some truth to it but let me offer my perspective: I think one of the reasons I tweet/talk about Milwaukee so much is because how dismissive so many Cubs people (including people who work for the team) HAD been about their recent success. Boog literally called their run last year fluky and unlikely to happen again during a broadcast. Now, it's "well Milwaukee is so great everyone is chasing them." but for YEARS it was luck luck luck because that's what the data said. And by the way, Cubs people weren't the only ones. Their over under win total opened at 83.5 THIS YEAR!!!! Add in the fact that we took their manager and there's a lot there. With all that being said, I am ready to move on from it. The facts are there. There's no reason to bang the drum anymore. They're going to win the World Series and we have plenty of work to do. I still think the Cubs are a top 10 (ish) org in the sport. Now they have to figure out how to get to the next level. Sadly, it doesn't happen in one off-season. It's years and years of the right processes. The Cubs started becoming an elite org in October of 2011 when they hired Theo and didn't see the real on field benefits until 2015 etc. Hopefully they can make that happen but yeah I'm bored during lunch and I know tonight is gonna be wild on here when they sweep so I wanted to get this out.

And also, Jed is one of the people that DID know this was a problem after 2023. He didn't know how to solve it though so him and Tom threw money at their manager in hopes of fixing it but clearly that did not work. Craig is fine but not responsible for the Brewers success etc

So little of it is luck. So so little man. They won 103 games
Replying to @SamOlbur
they did get lucky en route to their ring and thats okay to admit too lol i dont know why brewers fans + sam hate admitting that, if we got so lucky too id be bragging nonstop about our luck. they are an incredible squad, but have been the beneficiary of immense luck too lmao

and by the way, spin zone: The Cubs would not have gotten swept by them. So take that for what it's worth haha. I think even Brewers fans would admit that. Doesn't mean we're better than LAD or TB but we would play them better than this.

In Coaches speak this means "it wasn't healing properly." didn't do anything technically to have a "set back" but when you put the boot back on they probably didn't like what the scans said
Asked #Illini Brad Underwood if anything changed with David Mirkovic that led to him being back in a walking boot. "Nothing. It's a safety. It's precautionary… It's just healing, and it's what the human body does, and there's no control over that. Nothing has changed at all.”

Come on the show and get an extension. That's how it works.
Purdue's Matt Painter has received a contract extension through the 2030-31 season, per release.

Hot seat? No, def not nor should he. However, it is okay to admit that it's super awkward they're this dominant and going to win it without him. Both can be true

The White Sox have informed John Schriffen that his contract will not be extended as the club’s lead play-by-play announcer.   A national search for his replacement will begin immediately.
