Monday Funnies: What's more fun than watching the Bears?

A tad off topic, but whatever. 
Happy Monday!

john baker new PIT minor league farm director...hell of a job upgrade.

cubs need a new "mental skills coach"...they should get nick castellanos to write down a couple dozen random phrases on note cards to replace that hole in the organization.

Good stuff CubbyBlue. I'm a long time Dolphins fan and that basically sums up two decades of Brady/Belichick running that lawn mower over the AFC East ad naseum. 

cubs have sent long time farmhand "cash considerations" to TB to complete the pointless jose martinez trade.

Looks like Jason McLeod or Jared Porter are not rejoining Joe Maddon

MLBTR: The Angels have narrowed their search for a new GM. They’ll choose between Braves assistant GM Perry Minasian and Mariners AGM Justin Hollander, according to Ken Rosenthal and Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic

Other serious candidates included Jason McLeod of the Cubs and Jared Porter of the Diamondbacks. Both were among the finalists recently removed from consideration, per Joel Sherman of the New York Post (Twitter link). Another Arizona exec, Amiel Sawdaye, was also among the finalists, Rosenthal adds.

it's been a loooooong time predicted she would eventually get a chance, and kim ng is finally going to get a chance to GM a team (marlins).

first female and first asian-american GM in MLB history.

so far it seems this is another off-season where the cubs are linked to no one worth mentioning.

on the bright side, there's only 1 more year left on that kimbrel contract.  let's not give $16m a year to a guy that's gonna throw 60-70 innings a year anymore...

add on a heaping helping of "someone please trade for any of our established MLB-ready talent" to the off-season outlook.

chances are rather high we're going into 2021 with a couple less "stars" gone via trade and who knows if any of that loot will be used to obtain a high-end replacement.

still...should be a competitive team...be nice to get well over the top in expectations, though.

theo walks away with 1 year left on his contract...hoyer to be president of baseball operations.

he's supposedly taking a year off, but...well...the mets.

there's a high ranking government official with years of top office managment experience that could use a new job in january.

like tony la russa on the south side, he might have to spend part of the season in jail, though.

    I worry that Morel will lose starts at 3B as long as this roster lacks a compelling DH.

    I think if you had ranked players by how much the team could ill afford to have them miss significant time, Steele would be right at the top of the list.

    steele MRI on friday.  counsell expects an IL stint.

    no current plans for his rotation replacement.

  • hellfrozeover (view)

    I would say also in the bright side column is Busch looked pretty good overall at the plate. Alzolay…man, that hurts but most of the time he’s not giving up a homer to that guy. To me the worst was almonte hanging that pitch to Garcia. He hung another one to the next hitter too and got away with it on an 0-1.

    amaya blocked like 6-8 of smyly's pitches in the dirt very cleanly...not even an exaggeration, smyly threw a ton of pitches bouncing in tonight.

    neris looking like his old self was a relief (no pun), too.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    In looking for bright spots the defense was outstanding tonight. The “stars” are going to need to shine quite a bit brighter than they did tonight offensively though for this to be a successful season.

    Good baseball game. Hopefully Steele is pitching again in April (but I’m not counting on it). 

  • crunch (view)

    boo.

  • crunch (view)

    smyly to face the 2/3/4 hitters with a man on 2nd in extras.

    this doesn't seem like a 8 million dollar managerial decision.

  • crunch (view)

    i 100% agree with you, but i dunno how jed wants to run things.  the default is delay.  i would choose brown.

    like hellfrozeover says, could be smyly since he's technically fresh and stretched.

    anyway, on a pure talent basis....brown is the best option.
