Week of 4/25 - Other Games

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Well, Jean Segura just got to the Cards, too. 4-4 tonight and just hit a 3-run shot to give the Diamondbacks a 7-5 lead.

LOL. Great minds think alike or whatever.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Whoa... We just posted the same threads and then gave the same replies to each other's threads.

[David]

I was about to make the exact same thread about the exact same thing

[Aaron_Kennelly]

[TruffleShuffle]

i'm glad that the cubs are so good that inexplicable events like hazelbaker donging all the time and almedys diaz becoming the best hitter in baseball are nothing more than minor annoyances.

[soccer10k]

The last few minutes of this game have been pretty fun.

[Cubswin11]

There might be a HS team in America with better defense than the Cardinals

:O

[BigSlick]

No Cubs game today but at least the Cardinals are down 6 runs. Soothes a Cubs-less soul

I love it, because they are still this much worse than us, despite inexplicable things like Hazelbaker donging and Almedys Diaz being the best hitter in baseball. What happens when Almedys Diaz is no longer the best hitter in baseball?

Dexter Fowler will become the best hitter in baseball.

 

But seriously, Anthony Rizzo will become the best hitter in baseball.

 

But seriously, Bryce Harper will become the best hitter in baseball.

This all happened after their announcers started talking about how awesome their bullpen has been this year. They -- incorrectly -- thought they had the best bullpen ERA in the league. They no longer have such a nice ERA. In fact, their bullpen ERA now falls in line with their xFIP and FIP, which they had been outperforming.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Also, the Pirates are only 11-9, despite a team BABIP of .351.

[Cubswin11]

These Cardinals fans the D'Backs broadcast keeps showing are horsefeathering creatures

[CubInOK]

I know that Dan McLaughlin used the term "small sample size" just now, but I still don't think he knows what that actually means.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Goldschmidt's about to dong.

[soccer10k]

Goldschmidt's about to dong.

 

If Maness actually throws him a strike.

[TruffleShuffle]

guessing the d-backs are not thrilled with their ROI from greinke so far.

[fallacy]

Greinke and the Cardinals are both god awful? I love this game

:lol:

This otherwise unspectacular Chris Owings RBI single is bookended by some glorious BFIB sadsackery.

[BigSlick]

Watching Oakland-Detroit highlights and...does Oakland have Chris Coghlan playing third base some of the time? This reminds me of the Coghlan at Second Experience (wasn't all that embarrassingly awful, until we got Resurgent Castro to come back). Very strange.

 

BRef is telling me Coghlan played at least one inning at third last year for us but I have no recollection of that.
