Jake, I saw the tweet and I feel you. I picked up a 70” Samsung from Costco for $479, it was crazy to move it inside as a bachelor. It barely fits on my tv console. I did consider getting a tv stand to hang it from, and it wouldn’t need to be drilled into my wall. I got lucky, hope you getting it solved satisfactorily soon.
Brennan Davis has had injury after injury. Super talented, but can’t stay healthy to debut in Chicago.
Ah yes, the Luis Castillo Trade Trap 😂😅
As a cubs fan im not mad at u jake, I dont get what we are doing either. I thought we should have sold at the deadline 2 years ago. Instead we doubled down and now we are in the same place. To me it feels like they are trying to be competitive but not contenders. The Boyd move feels right in line with that. Like they don't want to be bad but don't have what it takes to be great. I see a lot of ok but nothing special in the lineup, and holes in the rotation and bullpen. Since theo left I've had issues with the front office and don't really believe in it or our player development. But they need to pick a direction. We are a big market and we should act like it sometimes. Go get a burnes or something. It feels like we are destined for an 80-85 win season good enough for 2nd or third place looking up at the brewers in a really winnable division. Smh
Jake stories are just so relatable. Don’t ever stop!
Every Luis Castillo trade idea needs a suggestion of how the Mariners will replace those innings (and 1B, and 3B) for the $16mil budget ownership has shackled themselves to. Our SP depth is a bit sketchy for the next year. Hancock was -0.4 WAR in 12 games last year, and Logan Evans/Brandyn Garcia would be nice to let bake more or use as an injury backup instead of expecting 100 innings from either of them.
As a Cubs fan, yeah the ownership, maybe the front office, is the biggest issue. They should be spending more, they should be trying to make this a perennial contender, but they don't. They sit back. They watch Wrigley sell out all season and they put out a .500 team that goes on one good run a season.
I was hoping Max Fried would be that signing. This seems out now. They're just not committed enough. It's tough to be a Jags/Cubs fans because ownership doesn't care across the board.
hey! mariners fan. not to be dramatic, but if we traded luis castillo for 2 years of cody bellinger at 52.5m and another slap hitting 2nd baseman, i’d fucking kill myself! love the show
I could genuinely listen to jake tell stories all day I absolutely loved that
1:42 Okay Brock Lesnar 😂
cubs should go after Burnes, I say keep Bellinger, but if they can get a huge name deal for him…go for it. I have a 19 or 24, forget Insignia, Fire TV. Like it. Got it cheap. Bought it through Amazon, but it is a Best Buy product, pick up at store. Just getting back into football, Seen the videos of Caleb, he is showing promise. Burrows is a great QB, from what little I've got to see of him. Lions are a great team, going more for Texans, but have got to see a lot of Detroit, this season. Goff is good.
Jake you're a cubs fan now
That tv story was why we listen to this pod lol
Kirk hasn’t thrown a td in 3 games. With the bye that’s a whole month. What a shame.
I’d say a Starting Pitcher who hasn’t thrown over 70-80 innings in 6-7 years is a little more than a little concerning. It’s a huge red flag and a huge concern and u absolutely cannot count on anything from that guy. It’s just facts
Well according to Google you guys are worth around 10 million dollars and you’re backed by guys like the Yankees and CC Sabathia. Yeah Jake, you can afford a television
The Mariners won’t trade Castillo unless they get a deal they can’t refuse or get Sasaki. So stop trying to make a Mariners trading a Starting Pitcher thing happen.
I'm a mariners fan but I don't see any way that they will get Hoerner AND Bellinger for Castillo. First, the Mariners don't need an outfielder so Bellinger would be stuck mostly playing first (not sure if he's into that). Castillo doesn't not have that much value on the trade market because the Ms will have to throw in cash considerations for his contract. Hoerner would be a good addition but by himself he has close to as much value on the market as Castillo
I absolutely LOVE Jake talking about the Cubs. Lowkey one of least talked about teams by him over the years
28:19 heads up jake, make sure the yes network app works on your new tv
For example, sony TVs don’t support the yes app ; super annoying when l visit my parents during the summer
My man , I live in New York , I own a Buisness that hangs tv’s on the wall , I’ll do yours for free ( maybe a plug on the podcast lol) let me know , don’t return it , bigger is better !! Team8 designs
Padres want to cut 50 million from last year's payroll so that means the Yankees can pry away First Baseman Luis Arraez away with the right package. Would you be interested in that? No way the Padres are going to win the Arbitration number with a player that won the Batting Crown.
I've definitely got a horseshoe up my butt
Brennan Davis just kept getting MiLB season ending injuries unfortunately
The tv talk made me feel so old… its all quality now yes bigger matters but its all about the quality of the picture
