Maybe Rick Renteria needed some extra time to catch up on Game of Thrones before tonight’s third episode of the final season, as the White Sox manager was ejected in the bottom of the third inning. Jose Abreu looked to reach safely after a swinging strike three that got away from the Tigers catcher, but […]

Besides the bullpen usage, one of the biggest criticisms about Joe Maddon from Cubs fans since he began to manage the team in 2015 has been the constant lineup changes. Players voiced their frustration to Theo Epstein after 2018, saying they just wanted to know when they’d be in the starting lineup and when they […]

White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson started spring training with a big chip on his shoulder. All offseason he saw fans waiting in anticipation for the White Sox to sign Manny Machado. That never happened and Anderson has taken his game to another level in 2019. Now, he’s becoming the number one storyline for the White […]

It may seem like a futile attempt given how hard the NFL transition is to predict, but grading rookie classes does serve a purpose. It offers an idea of how difficult it truly is to determine who the good players really are. That’s why the Chicago Bears draft and undrafted free agency classes will receiver […]

White Sox rookie Eloy Jiménez left Friday’s game in the third inning, when he crashed into the outfield wall and injured his ankle. He was able to walk off the field with help from the team trainer and fortunately for Jiménez and the White Sox the injury isn’t as bad as it could have been. […]

Over the last few years, I’ve become infatuated with the growing contingent of Cubs fans who can somehow justify firing Cubs manager Joe Maddon. “He’s not a good manager.” “He gets too cute.” “He is successful in spite of himself.” “He’s lucky.” “He was given the keys to a Lamborghini, anyone can do what he […]

One of the most interesting stories of the entire NFL offseason might belong to new Chicago Bears wide receiver Emanuel Hall. On the surface, he looks like a classic draft oversight. A highly talented player out of Missouri with 4.39 speed who averaged over 20 yards per catch for his college career. Yet for some […]

Prominent draft expert Mel Kiper handed out his annual grades for every team’s new rookie crop. The 2019 Chicago Bears draft class faced an uphill battle for any sort of recognition. They only made five picks in total with none coming in the 1st or 2nd round. Just how good of a group could they […]

GM Ryan Pace warned that there would be a lot of Chicago Bears undrafted free agents in 2019. He’s always been a man of his word and has since followed up with easily the biggest class of undrafted players this franchise has had in years. A total of 18 new additions thus far. Not to […]

The Chicago Bears signed Emanuel Hall to their roster shortly after the draft. If the name isn’t familiar, it certainly is the draft community. Many had the Missouri wide receiver pegged as a 3rd or 4th round pick. A big reason why? He is a freak athlete. At 6’2 he has good size for a […]

The Chicago Bears draft Stephen Denmark out of Valdosta State to complete their 2019 draft class. The 7th round is always supposed to be about calculated risks. GM Ryan Pace didn’t disappoint with this one. Denmark started his college career at wide receiver before being shifted to cornerback. So he’s obviously raw in a lot […]

This is actually good news for Cubs prospect Nico Hoerner, as the shortstop doesn’t seem to have a serious injury after getting hit by a pitch earlier this week. He is being placed on the seven-day injured list, but should be ready to come back next week. Hoerner only has a bruised wrist, getting hit […]

The Chicago Bears draft Kerrith Whyte out of Florida Atlantic with their first pick of the 7th round in the 2019 draft. Most people haven’t heard about him because he was the wingman to the much more celebrated Devin Singletary. However, there is a quiet buzz in the scouting and coaching community that his upside […]
