[Smack]

at least Shark stopped the strikeout streak for Burnett

Who would you rather have at 2nd? Lillibridge or Neifi? Discuss.

 

Neifi. You go back and look, and the defensive metrics really did like him and his WAR says he may not have been as bad as we thought.

 

How about Lillibridge or Jose Macias?

Nah, I don't need to ruin my outlook of him. I'm comfortable with it.

 

I figured Neifi would be a better choice though.

[Sammy Sofa]

I had almost forgotten that empty feeling after the Cubs fail to score with runners on.

 

WHY DO YOU EVEN RUIN GOOD HATING.

Yeah, picking Neifi is going to be based on his defense; his reputation for awfulness then and now was justifiably based out of his wretched offense, and there's no revisionist history going on there. It still sucks when you look back.

Neifi, (Schmidt voice) all day.

Hopefully the lesson learned here is to get runners on more often, as even the best hitter in the league is only putting the ball safely into play once every three chances. For a bottom of the order hitter, it's more like one in five.

[Sammy Sofa]

Hahahahahaah! OK, robot umps would not have pleased me like that.

[treebird]

lol terrible call

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Hahaha. People ump, I love you.

That and Dusty batting him at the top of the order all the damn time.

Blah! I'll just step back and let N&G do the heavy lifting.

Everyone else is being all Buck Nasty and Silky Johnson and talking about how Lillibridge's underwear has dickholes in it and you're just Rich Vos standing around with a dumb look on his face.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Nice. That was hilarious.

How would robot umps make sure a pitcher got all the resin off his hands?

RoboUmp would have perceived it as cheating and engaged full laser protocol.

Cut to awkward shot of Dan Roan standing in the broadcast booth.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Castro just swung at a pitch that would have hit a left-handed batter in the foot.
