Thiago Splitter’s #Bulls coaching staff is taking shape, and it appears focused on development. We also discuss the Jaylen Brown analytics silliness and the new NBPA facility on a new OWC. Links in replies. @312SportsChi.bsky.social

A deservedly large bag of $ for a large man. Does Terrell Smith actually exist? And why do Dennis Allen defenses have injury issues? Forward Progress on @312SportsChi.bsky.social. Links in replies. #Bears
Aug 25 6-8 Double Clutch in Evanston Go and pour one out for Gary.
Dan Bernstein@danbernstein.bsky.social · 3d agoNot to be all meatball, but the headline isn't "Skubal Strikes Out 6," it's "#Cubs Beat Skubal, #Dodgers." Also, the main predictive metrics are actually unfair to the #WhiteSox in a real way, and...naked ambulance theft. DBU on @312sportschi.bsky.social. Links in replies.
#Cubs beat Skubal and the #Dodgers on an electric night at Wrigley Field. The first look at Zeferjahn's stuff was an enticing one, and Hoerner hits another HR. Off the Ivy on @312sportschi.bsky.social. Links in replies.
Does Bryant’s absence mean even more responsibility for a rookie safety? Almost certainly, whether the #Bears admit it or not. Forward Progress on @312SportsChi.bsky.social. Links in replies.
Jed Hoyer thinks the #Cubs can win the World Series, and Chris Getz knows his ahead-of-schedule #WhiteSox's efforts deserve some validation. Why exactly are you booing Kyle Tucker? We can't miss a #Bears Coby Bryant we've never seen, and a circus mishap on DBU. Links below.
#Cubs fortify a good team into something potentially more as the bats have a night against the #Dodgers. Some overdue love for Pedro Ramirez, too, in this Off the Ivy on @312sportschi.bsky.social. Links in replies.
What we know about Coby Bryant leaving #Bears practice with an injury this morning. We also discuss the Darnell Wright contract talks and more on Forward Progress. Links in replies. @312sportschi.bsky.social
Fun times in Chicago baseball with both the #WhiteSox and #Cubs adding arms. Coby Bryant hurt at #Bears practice, an all-time bad anthem and our reviews of #spiderman on today's DBU. Links below. @312sportschi.bsky.social
Deadline Day is here, and so is Off the Ivy. We have more on how Gausman fits as we await additional bullpen help for the #Cubs. And Nico has to challenge that pitch yesterday. Links in replies. @312sportschi.bsky.social
The #Cubs land Kevin Gausman for a couple ok prospects? Get more pitching, then. A live Off the Ivy on @312sportschi.bsky.social. Links in replies.
I find the 2026 Dodgers unimposing. I think the Brewers can beat them in a best-of-7 even with Skubal. But just as importantly, this is a window. The Dodgers are making the most of their window. Good for them. It IS gonna get ugly for them soon. Be chill.
We had a technical issue with Forward Progress, now fixed. Link below.
The battle for #Bears LT heats up, and that Caleb Williams pass to Loveland yesterday, man… 😳. Forward Progress on @312SportsChi.bsky.social. Links in replies.
Remember those two #WhiteSox wins if they go on to make the playoffs: a tone-changing snapback from the brink. More #Bears stadium weirdness, Friday Feedback Friday and my Top Ten All-Time Sox/#Cubs Deadline Additions on DBU. Links in replies. @312sportschi.bsky.social
#Cubs take 3 of 4 from the #Cardinals and their playoff odds stand at 93.4%. Congrats to Alex Bregman, whose wRC+ of 103 is finally above league average! Off the Ivy on @312sportschi.bsky.social. Links in replies.
Caleb Williams is thinned out and ready, a group of DBs filled in at nickel, Rome Odunze clarified his "new normal" and Press Taylor said what we all think about Ben Johnson. Forward Progress on @312sportschi.bsky.social. Links in replies. #Bears
First Rick Sutcliffe and now JD openly asking for PCA to get a day off, which likely means it's a topic internally with the #Cubs. Pat Fitzgerald is full of shit, the #Bulls' Stacey King succession plan takes shape, and IL roadkill-eating laws on DBU. Links in replies. @312sportschi.bsky.social
Gut-punch of a loss in STL for the #Cubs after another epic PCA moment, as reports have them at least inquiring about Tarik Skubal. Off the Ivy on @312sportschi.bsky.social. Links in replies.
What we've learned about the #Bulls' TV-analyst plans, the Bennedict Mathurin report, and lots on LeBron to PHI. New OWC on @312sportschi.bsky.social. Links in replies.
The #Bears are calling out Kyler Gordon. Ryan Poles almost forgot to even mention Kiran Amegadjie. The Kyle Shanahan story gets even weirder, somehow. Forward Progress on @312sportschi.bsky.social. Links in replies.
We're all thinking it about the #Bears, but Ben Johnson couldn't say it yesterday. Also on DBU: uselessness of network "insiders," these groups of loud and shirtless MLB fans, and what would you pay for Col. Sanders' black bow tie? Links in replies. @312sportschi.bsky.social
Ian Happ's tremendous AB sparked the #Cubs' domination of the #Cardinals last night, and there's good news on the return of Ben Brown. Off the Ivy on @312sportschi.bsky.social. Links in replies.
Here’s one (conspiratorial) hypothesis for the Shanahan coverup. And there’s little #Bears tolerance for Kyler Gordon’s ongoing health issues, but no real backup plan. Forward Progress on @312SportsChi.bsky.social. Links in replies.
I can't be the only person astonished at Andy Reid's utter lack of empathy in the middle of such horror. His flippant responses to the Bieniemy tragedy are bizarre and unfortunate. Dan Bernstein Unfiltered on @312sportschi.bsky.social. Links in replies.
Bregman and Hoerner break out, Peterson delivers after the rain in STL. #Cubs now at 90.9% for playoffs on @fangraphs.com, as Taillon get DFAed. Off the Ivy on @312sportschi.bsky.social. Links in replies.
