maybe you're tone deaf to southern accents since you're from mississippi or louisiana or whatever, but theo sounds nothing like that.

 

you've heard Theo shout at people and drop mfers before?

 

Look at the body language. Jesus, this isn't difficult.

yes, he obviously said it because he turned his head as fowler said "MFers"

It sure doesn't sound like Fowler to me. It doesn't sound like Theo either. However, I nor you know what they sound like when they are trying to be funny and are shouting obscenities.

We pretty much have the ability to field a quality player as the backup at any position on the field. We can give anyone we want a break on any given day except for Rizzo at 1B. Who would we put there to give him a day off?

Anybody?

 

We have like 3 dudes who can play SS and 3 dudes who can play CF. i'm pretty sure someone on the team can handle 1B.

Baez, Bryant, Zobrist, Schwarber, Montero, idk pick one. Throw their names in a hat. horsefeathers throw Travis Wood out there or have a random fan drawing for 1B that day and we'd still have a better lineup than just about any other MLB team

Pretty obviously Fowler saying that in the video.

 

And why do you think that? It can't be the voice giving it away. Fowler sounds just as nerdy as Theo does when he talks. You don't think it's possible that it's the guy who has his head tilted back as if he's shouting and whose physical cadence matches the delivery of the statement perfectly? Clearly Theo saying it. He's showing off to the team what he just did and that's why he steps away right at the end of MFer.

Here's how I would handle the lineups, with career wRC+ versus that type of pitcher in parenthesis.

 

vs. R

RF - Heyward (132 wRC+)

2B - Zobrist (114)

1B - Rizzo (133)

3B - Bryant (140)

LF - Schwarber (161)

CF - Fowler (101)

C - Montero (110)

P - Arrieta

SS - Russell (104)

 

vs. L

2B - Zobrist (128 wRC+)

CF - Fowler (121)

1B - Rizzo (113)

3B - Bryant (120)

RF - Heyward (85)

LF - Soler (100)

C - Montero (75)

P - Arrieta

SS - Russell (44)

 

Schwarber has a 30 wRC+ against lefties, so I'm not exactly going to suggest we try to force him into the lineup against them. I'm also expecting his massive numbers against RHP to regress somewhat -- but if it doesn't, we may need to shuffle the top of the lineup a bit.

 

Javy has a 97 wRC+ against lefties and La Stella actually has a 122, so I bet they see some playing time there. Maybe shift Zobrist to RF to give Heyward a breather against the real tough lefties, or Russell if he continues to struggle adjusting. Hell, even Rizzo and Bryant will need a few days off.

So guys, for probably just my own benefit, I'm going to try and sum this up.

 

We won 97 games last year.

We replaced Soler with Heyward.

We replaced Haren with Lackey.

We replaced Coghlan with Zobrist.

We replaced Denorfia with Soler.

We replaced Herrera with Baez.

We replaced Motte with Warren.

 

Is this good?

Man, this is just some excellent news. I'm so happy. This was the one move that I have been wanting to see done. I am thrilled with everything. I just love this team so much.

 

As far as if the wording was wrong on that chart and who was speaking in that video:
