So, am I the only one who grew up playing checkers where kings can jump their own pieces? Apparently that’s not a legit rule, but it makes the game SO much more strategic if you’ve gotta be wary of your opponent setting up his own pieces so he can double jump you. I was taught that way, and I taught The Little Girl that way. So when she tried to pull the move on The Wife and was told it was not legit, she lost her mind and threw me under the bus (appropriately). Again: am I the only one who grew up playing that way?
Are the last two years in MLB free agency a trend that could continue? @Michael_Cerami discussed that & more on the Cubs' offseason during his latest appearance on Sports Feed Sunday with @Josh_Frydman. Watch the segments here: https://t.co/D1RY1aaxhz pic.twitter.com/pcySzfvKxc

Alec Mills threw 38 change ups to big league RHH in 2018:
– 11 were balls
– 2 were called strikes
– 14 foul balls
– 9 drew whiffs
– 2, just two, were put in play. Both outs.The slider had similar success. His rep needs recalibration. Might not have velo, does have stuff.

Still wrapping my head around the fact that the Bears finished the season 12-4. TWELVE AND F***ING FOUR.
We believed they could win 10, especially after the Mack trade. But man alive. This regular season was incredible.
Now: NEXT.
