  1. Not really. They might have taken exception to Contreras last night, but I don't think so.
  2. Make him a long reliever or piggy back him with Montgomery. I’m joking... mostly.

  4. God damn it, Kyle. He’s thrown more pitches inner 3rd above the belt already this year than he did all of last year (might not actually be true, but it’s close).
  5. Not impressed to say the least.
  6. Oh, it’s a dumb move by management for sure. What do you expect?
  7. Bryant’s biggest deficit is that he makes it all look too easy. Easy power, smooth fielder, fluid runner, rocket arm. Even when he hits the ball off the end of the bat he can hit it out. His mild personality also plays a role too. I just love watching him. He’s by far my favorite player
  8. [tweet] [/tweet]Pina was in the VWL with Willson in 2014. So was Ji-Man Choi, but he’s not on the active roster. Has to be Pina. Look at that punchable face.
  9. I fell asleep before the 9th (I’m getting old) and expected the Braun hit a dong. The description of what actually happened is worse.
  10. None of those names rang a bell so I looked him up. It was Scott Anders, he was drafted in 1985, but yeah, played 2 years in the minors with terrible stats.
  11. Tommy Pham is only a little bitter about how the Cardinals have treated him. The SI article is really good - you definitely feel for this guy. Plus he cites his own WAR and quotes the $8 mil/year value of WAR to highlight his pay discrepancy. Pretty impressive stuff. The terrible thing about his story is that it isn't all that different from a lot of guys. I played in a very competitive 30 and older baseball league for a few years and guys who played in professional organizations had similar stories. I never knew what was due to inflation or the truth. One guy I played with was a catcher who was in the Cubs organization and drafted a year before Wrona and two before Girardi. He claimed he was pretty good and asked the Cubs for his release so he could try a different organization and they refused to release him.
  12. gives some wine to Bacchus to get the curse off the Cubs.
  13. Len and JD were talking about Ichiro and Gwen. Votto is right up there.
  14. This pitcher for the Reds is nailing his spots. He looks good.
