    Really hope Nico is not dealing with some undisclosed nagging injury like he did a few years ago that they finally disclosed he had been playing hurt and needed offseason surgery. He started the season well but has really been in a funk since May. Our offense just seems to go hot at cold...

    I doubt he sticks around long. As soon as Milner is healthy Pomeranz probably will be DFA. Some of the guys in the bullpen right now are just placeholders till we can get some relievers healthy. Was worth a shot to see if we could catch lightning in a bottle twice with him but doesn't look...

    Yeah, guys that throw that hard usually are bullpen guys. Trying to do that as a starter has got to be hard on the elbow and shoulder and not sustainable to keep doing if he wants to have a long and healthy career. Would think keep that 105 MPH fastball in your bag of tricks to fool a guy...

    I've never said he was a top end of the rotation guy either and I'm realistic that he has little to no trade value either so he's here until his contract expires. He ain't the only starter that has been on the IL for extended time this year either if you take a look at the current state of the...

    I believe I sad something along the lines of it would be a really bad look to send him down after you just signed him to a big extension. I don't care if he is still on his rookie contract this season you don't demote your gold glove all-star CF over a slow start to the season. You said that...

    I was just about to mention that myself! Had to dig around a bit to find it but I eventually did https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/%E2%80%A2%E2%80%A2%E2%80%A2-2026-official-chicago-cubs-thread-%E2%80%A2%E2%80%A2%E2%80%A2.297637/post-10356316

    Pollard announces his retirement

    Ha! Yeah I remember those days when we were pretty sure Bruce was here posting. Just another example of how lame he is

    Pollard announces his retirement

    Can you name any lasting/memorable accomplishments Bruce had while at ISU because I honestly can't think of anything ISU fans can point to and credit him for. The AD budget and revenues did improve but nothing else really stands out from his tenure. His only major sport hire was when he fired...

    Pollard announces his retirement

    That is an interesting situation if that happens. You would like for the next AD to make the hire if Bill does retire but the timing would not line up unless they name the new AD before BB season is over and whoever that is and Pollard both could go through the process as the transition takes...

    Pollard announces his retirement

    Anyone that didn't like Pollard must not remember how bad Bruce Van De Velde was prior to him. Gene Smith before him was a good AD too but Bruce was just awful and had no vision other than just keep things the status quo which let to a lot of mediocrity and bad seasons in major sports.

    Pollard announces his retirement

    That's my thought too. He's been pretty vocal about his issues with everything that is going on in college athletics these days and if you are that close to retirement I don't blame him for wanting to hang around any more. With a new president at ISU and things currently in decent shape in...

    Random ISU FB player you remember

    This is the guy I was going to mention too. He went to my HS and was a year behind me. I remember running into him on campus the spring of his redshirt freshman year and he was just completely ripped from what I remembered him in HS. He told me he had been lifting weights and basically told...

    Pollard announces his retirement

    I was guessing he wouldn't retire until after CyTown was finished as that is kind of his final masterpiece for improvements. Happy for him but at the same time sad to see an incredible tenure ending. Definitely let his mark at ISU and something needs to be named after him at some point. This...

    Glad we signed him to the extension when we did and not after the heater he has been on lately!

    Pomeranz was looking washed up at times last season too which is why they didn't make much of an effort to resign him. Pomeranz is 37 Thielbar is 39 neither one has an upside anymore it's trying to milk every last bit of production you can out of them. The bullpen is a mess right now with...
