Week of 4/4 - Other Games

[Omar]

Never thought I'd see Rich Hill start the season for any team, ever.

Kluber v. Price is a real nice day baseball matchup

[David]

Weekly other games threads are a great compromise. Great idea.

Castro just doubled and drove in 2 runs

[David]

i couldn't decide whether to root for starlin there or not

 

i have keuchel in my big league and my pitching has been struggling.

 

he hit a double down the line with 2 on and 2 out.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

that's why I don't do fantasy horsefeathers. I'm totally rooting for him there

Hahaha, I was just wondering that!

[David]

remember when the tanaka stuff was going on and some of us were saying that the cubs could easily be in a much better place than the yankees very soon and others of us were ridiculing those some of us

 

tanaka would be pretty cool to have instead of like hammel (yes yes i know butterfly effect disclaimer)

Hammel's not a good comp for that example because I think this Addison Russell kid might make it (though I get your point)

Is Gerrit Cole hurt or something that he didn't start Sunday and now Niese is starting tonight vs the Cardinals?

Rib injury during the spring. He threw a minor league outing and should be back this weekend.

[David]

remember when we were watching clips of carlos correa working out at wrigley and heard the FO really liked him?

 

and then we heard that the damn astros were going to take him to go way below slot (which they did)

 

yeah that annoys me all the time

[Ding Dong Johnson]

but that would have cost us Almora

[sneakypower]

and Kris Bryant

[David]

but that would have cost us Almora

 

imagine having a russell/correa middle infield right now instead of stupid almora (jk i don't hate almora)

[Cubswin11]

Syndegard seems to have the good stuff going today, 5ks for the first 8 outs

[imb]

thor is freaking horrifying

[Transmogrified Tiger]

thor is freaking horrifying
