Guess what an idiot with an MiLB rulebook did this time?
CubinNY replied to NonProfitCow's topic in General Baseball Talk
1st base should be half in foul and half in fair. Or even 3/4 in foul territory. it would get rid of the need for base runners to run down the line in fair territory and interfere with 1st baseman. Thank you. You're welcome. -
Kyle, not sharp today. Could be Arizona, but a lot of balls floating up there.

Law is one of those guys who are down on everyone because that is the safest place to be. It's easier to bag on every prospect because more times than not it's a good bet. But he always really seems to be down on the Cubs, maybe rightly so, but he's kind of a dick about it ALL THE TIME.

I haven't watched any games yet, but if that's where the booth is headed in relation to any advanced analytics, you can count me out. If I want to hear how great batting average, rbis and pitcher record is I can find plenty in the cesspool that is Facebook and reddit. Yes, as David implied, Boog is great at breaking down advanced analytics. He's really good at showing how they truly apply in in-game situations. He just calls it nerd baseball, jokingly. He's like a version of Len that is amped up on coffee. I am happy with the booth.

[tweet] [/tweet]Did anyone see the HR the dude from the Giants hit yesterday? It must have gone 500 feet.

I don't really see the point of that.

I've really enjoyed Boog in the booth. He asks great questions to JD and is entertaining. I don't like that he calls any objective analysis "nerd baseball".

Ok, someone do the math. If they are break even at 20%, they sure must make a killing at 100%. 20% capacity is between 8 and 9k. 2019 average attendance was a bit over 38k, so let's simplify and call it 30k fans for 80 home games, 2.4 million fans worth of profit. At $50/person, that's 120 million. Cot's says the current payroll is 145 million actual and 170 million luxury tax, so you can do the math on how much potential room that gives them assuming all the assumptions on what Kenney is implying and our napkin math are roughly accurate. It does paint a picture that the conversation about avoiding the repeater penalty for being over the luxury tax may have some basis in reality, but the current payroll situation would entirely be temporary loss aversion(or recovery of 2020 losses if you prefer). A sound method, but I think $50/person is on the low end. It's probably closer to $100/person after concessions and whatnot.

Will people will be paying NBA prices for seats?

How is a 20-year-old Rule 5 eligible? Was he signed at 15?

"Boog" annoys me. People who refer to themselves by their nickname annoy me. A nickname is what someone else calls you - I'd almost prefer him to refer to himself in the 3rd person. That would be funny. I'm too old to change. I don't think most of my friends from college know my real name.

The White Sox Thread: 2022 Will Be the Last Call for TLR (P. 11)
CubinNY replied to Banedon's topic in General Baseball Talk
What an odd/a dumb thing to say at the end of a terrible paragraph It kind of goes with the entire paragraph though. Creepy, stupid, and knuckle-dragging from beginning to end. -
A bunch of guys I never heard of before batting for the Cubs. But it's baseball on TV. I love it. I like Boog, but he's not Len. It's going to take awhile.

The White Sox Thread: 2022 Will Be the Last Call for TLR (P. 11)
CubinNY replied to Banedon's topic in General Baseball Talk
That's some Dumbledore horsefeathers going on. The Horcrux was an unopened tequila bottle at 1:30 AM at Skin Cabaret in Scottsdale. -
Shelby Miller getting lit up.
-
that's a quick bat.
-
It may provide a relative benefit to the starters, but what about the relief corps? I do think pitching and defense concentration is a good plan given the offense. Bolster a weakness with a strength.
-
Compound leg fractures. I just hope he can walk again.

Brent is going wild on Twitter over Nico Hoerner’s ass and hips in bo pics. Yep, it’s spring training.
-
I like him already

2021 Draft Thread
CubinNY replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
3. Luke Leto, SS, Portage Central HS (MI) - 45 Any chance this kid is still around when the Cubs pick? Portage Central was a big rival in high school. -
That is a great point.
-
I like this signing simply because Williams seems like a cool dude on twitter.
-
Somewhere about three weeks ago on a Washington Nationals board with the least terrible faction of National fans on the internet, someone made that exact post about Kyle.

Giants pick Tommy Boy.
