@toomuchtuma He is nowhere near closing games. The type of work he’s getting is blowouts like the Phillies game on Wednesday

Ben Brown added a sinker and is pitching exclusively out of the pen.
All 2-3 IP stints so far. Even if he transitions to closer, it may not happen right away.
Cubs relievers currently on the IL:
* Daniel Palencia
* Hunter Harvey
* Phil Maton

@UnderdogMLB “Double” I mean my ass. I hate how they never call errors on outfielders unless they touch the ball

Iowa State Roster Outlook
There may not be an obvious standout player yet for TJ Otzelberger, but the rotation depth for the Cyclones should be awesome.
It should end up being a top-20 roster if not better., according to EvanMiya.com.

@cubprospects So many heaped praise on Zombro… To be perfectly honest, this reflects rather poorly
English
Cubs are definitely going to want to look back at how they built up their pitchers this February and self-assess their methodology. I’m not saying the process is necessarily wrong, but the results demand the process be vetted again.

@HeyGuys12847 @RumorsandRants You probably learned who he is for the first time 3 days ago
English
@Rematch727 @RumorsandRants You’ve obviously never watched him play at all.

Have had a few DMs being skeptical about a good Indiana portal class. I get it.
The thing that’s different about this group (so far) is that these guys all have multiple years left. It’s a talented group to build with. Completely different world. #iubb

@matthewwinick Agree, have not been very impressed when I’ve watched him.

Can someone explain to me why every single blue blood wants Terrence Brown? I really do not know what I'm missing here.

Utah transfer Terrence Brown is en route to Lawrence to visit Kansas, per his advisor Adam Kado. Recently visited North Carolina. Averaged 19.9 PPG last season.
English
@Rematch727 @RumorsandRants Watch again. He is an elite defender that can guard wings/guards in short spurts.

@TreyKnowsBall @T_kopplin30 Stop focusing on this and start focusing on the lack of athleticism. You cannot win without above the rim athletes
English
@T_kopplin30 As of right now, if we are talking production, there isn’t a 40% 3pt shooter on the roster I don’t think.
English
I’m not hating on this portal haul, but I have to say, the last ditch Woodson portal haul (at the time) had a lot more appeal to me than this one does. And I got burned by that one…

@jrlikeswhisky @RumorsandRants I like him fine offensively too… but on the defensive end?
English
@Rematch727 @RumorsandRants He's not as slow as you think. He moves very well for 7-2 and isn't a stick. Very decent hands as well and sees the open cutter when he gets two-manned.
English
@RumorsandRants I look forward to it. Would love to be wrong of course.
English
@Rematch727 I like what I’ve seen so far but will do a deeper dive.
English
We will take everybody because we have more money than you.
The rest of you just be grateful for whatever’s left.

NEWS: SMU transfer Samet Yiğitoğlu has committed to Indiana, Tolga Beritan and Sean Kennedy tell DraftExpress. The 7'2, 22-year-old Turkish center was one of the most coveted big men in the portal after averaging 10.7 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in 29 minutes per game.

What’s the word on Pryce Sandfort.. seeing early 2nd/sneaking late 1st buzz

@kaminski_zach @esidery The same reasons Kon Kunnepal was seen as a lottery a pick. Mullins is a 6ft 7 , athletic and elite shooter, with a high basketball IQ
English
UConn will soon offer a lucrative NIL package to Braylon Mullins in order to hopefully keep him another year.
Mullins, currently projected as a mid-1st round pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, can earn around $4-5 million annually if he declared.
UConn plans on matching that figure.

@AdonisKorp62493 @rob_mcrobberson Maybe not GMs who dedicated their life to chess, but I know plenty of ~expert to master level players who have extremely well in other fields
English
@Rematch727 @rob_mcrobberson Not if it is solely focused on a wooden board, or do you any chess gran master that is also a surgeon, or a rocket scientist?
English
@AdonisKorp62493 @rob_mcrobberson Hmmm do you think pattern recognition might be useful for anything else?
English
@rob_mcrobberson Chess is literally the most useless waste of time, it isn't transferable to something useful in the real world at all, it's literally just nerds being really good at pattern recognition
