    Williams & Blum Wednesday: Daniel Jackson out for season and diving into preseason hype

    CW and Brent, I love your podcasts and you guys have been getting me through some tough morning distance runs lately. Thanks for all you do. My students over here on the south side of Chicago all know about the Cyclones in large part because you guys keep me connected. While I personally do...

    It is really crazy how badly this team is constructed when you actually have to set it into a lineup. I completely embrace and believe in analytics as an extremely helpful tool but blind, total reliance on them gives you a team like this.

    ***Official 2024 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    I really loathe this team. They have no fire or fight. The 2024 Cubs were perfectly summed up in game one of that doubleheader last week. An actual, real chance to get back into it despite dicking around all season. Our former can't miss prospect who is at this point a bust comes out and...

    Wes dropping that turd when we needed composure was not great. Obviously there are going to be days where you just don't have great command but deciding to throw to 2nd, throwing it into the outfield, committing a 2nd error, and then hitting a guy batting .220 with the based loaded and 2 strikes...

    That Swanson AB was pathetic. I don't and haven't ever expected him to bat .300 but come on.

    Well, a fair few guys are staying hot but unfortunately Morel is the guy coming to the plate when they get on.

    He's fine as a once a week rest guy but he can't hit, he can't catch, and he can't throw anyone out. He's not a serious long-term option for anything other than spot starts.

    There are no favorable matchups for Amaya and his defense has singlehandledly cost us 3-4 games in this run. Fine with DFA'ing Gomes but we should be done with Amaya, too. He's horrible.

    Nico following up a walk with a fly-out on the first pitch in the 9th was infuriating, but not as infuriating as that pitiful Morel at-bat in the 8th. He needs a long break from playing. For a while he was hammering the ball right at people but he's just putrid right now.

    ISU's Demarion Watson is "stronger" and "smarter" while playing key role off the bench

    He has a very real ceiling of how much he can play due to his nonexistent offense. Playing teams like Houston he'll get more minutes. Games where we need to score a lot he's not gonna play much and Pav will be more useful.
