The Beachwood Radio Sports Hour #211: Microcosmic Cubs, Bewildering Bears

By Jim Coffman and Steve Rhodes

Theo settles for Cole Hamels. Plus: Rodon!; The Biggest Underreported Story In Chicago Sports; and We're Talking About (Bears) Practice.

SHOW NOTES

* 211.

:45: Cubs' Mine Cole In Microcosmic Week.

* It was only after we finished recording this that we learned the Cubs included Eddie Butler in the deal. Please adjust our remarks accordingly!

* Edwards, Fangraphs: "If the Cubs are expecting the magic Hamels has shown on the road . . . there is likely to be disappointment. As far as an upgrade over Tyler Chatwood and the potential for a league-average starter, the division-leading Cubs just made their team a good bit better the rest of the way."

* Nationals Might Become Sellers By End Of Weekend.

* A microcosmic week.

* David Bote is holding it down!

* Morrissey's muck.

Ha. I don't like commenting on other people's work but wish I had a bird cage. RT @philhand13: Hey @ESPNChiCubs - any thoughts on the Morrissey column about Maddon in today's @Suntimes?

* 2014: Joe Maddon, Rays Honor Tommy Tutone With '867-5309' Lineup.

* Don't cry for Dusty.

Poor Dusty Baker, a four-team fall guy. https://t.co/VKUtyKZOH5

45:37: Rodon!

47:38: Bears Blackout!

* Most underreported story in Chicago sports.

* Inside Matt Nagy's Beautiful Mind even though he's only called plays in five-and-a-half games including this one!

* All plays at practice are highlights not lowlights!

Of course, this could also be read as a lowlight ... https://t.co/V97SKifwRL

* Same!

Another #Bears practice, another Anthony Miller highlight. He beat Kyle Fuller and Mitch Trubisky hit him in stride for a long TD.

* We're talking about practice!

* How wacky!

Stealing @kfishbain's bit for a day, because this popped up in my Facebook memories. Five years ago today, Brandon Marshall reported to Bourbonnais on a Segway: pic.twitter.com/MGS1SaEBEQ

* Maybe your coverage isn't positive enough!

I just got told to take down all the Instagram videos I shot from practice today.

Training camp has officially begun!

* Top secret!

#Bears camp highlight today: Adam Shaheen's TD catch. No media photos allowed during that period, so ... pic.twitter.com/PbfJ2bo37K

* But how will they cope without Mark Sanchez!
