Jeez, fine, I'll just snack while I piss like an animal so I can make it back in time.

I kinda want to go back to Soler in the 2 spot once Bryant is up just for the insane lineup balance.

 

Fowler

Soler

Rizzo

Bryant

Coghlan

Castro

Montero

P

Okay you can't post a 17 minute video- this is what gifs are for- make your point.

It isn't my fault your computer machine didn't jump to 13 minutes 50 seconds like the link I posted did, so you could go directly to the reference I was making. And since the reference was audio, I'd need something fancier than a standard gif. Thanks for the pro-tip, though.

Ah- maybe cuz I'm on my phone ?

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

That maybe explains it (or you loaded the vid, saw it was long, and didn't watch it before the youtube ad finished. In which case, I can't blame you too much.)

 

Nice call about Soler to 2 and Rizzo to 3 by TT.

But seriously; yet again, why isn't he batting 4th instead of Montero?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I still don't like him and his ungainly outfieldsmanship.

How come Fangraphs likes him so much more than BR? Does it mostly just come down to differences in defensive analysis?

Yes. UZR unfathomably consider's Coghlan's defense as a Cub a plus instead of 'please cover your eyes children'. Even BR doesn't go so far as to completely capture the horrors of his glovework, but rightly considers it a drain on his value.

Pretty much.
