  1. Yuky game in Vegas.
  2. Jorge Soler having a nice spring. I hope he puts it together.
  3. My favorite Meph logic was that if a model predicted one thing and in reality, the model wasn't all that accurate, it was reality that was wrong and not the model.
  4. Wasn’t he in New Kids On The Block? Or was it Boys2Men
  5. Wasn’t he in New Kids On The Block?
  6. Now you did it, Duke.
  7. God mode Jake was something to watch. I don't think I'll miss him though.
  8. Darvish struck out the side. The Cubs are going to own so hard this season.
  9. ???? It was Schwarber and Gimenez. Whoops.
  10. Back to back for Swarbs and Bryant. Len's HR call is really bad.
  11. It started getting to me last year. Welcome to the club. Honestly, it probably started in the 2016 postseason for me. The moment he brought Chapman in during game 6, I started doubting whether I wanted him here. He almost made himself infamous. Overall, he's done a pretty good job of managing. His antics are getting a little stale. Theo did a great job this past offseason of getting in new coaches after a disappointing overall year.
  12. So you do care?
  13. Watching minor league Cubs in ST games is NOT as much fun as it was 3 or 4 years ago.
  14. That’s too bad. I’m hoping/was hopeful he could be an MLBer. His younger brother might end up being a pitcher who makes it all the way to the big leagues. He is a serious prospect in this year's draft. His name is Cole Sands, and is a RHP (not a lefty) at Florida State. Pretty talented. I have this weird theory (untested, but I need to study it more) that younger brothers of prospects or younger siblings in general tend to develop into better players/prospects. The younger brothers get to play with their older brothers/friends and watch and observe them. My youngest brother is the tallest and probably best athlete in the family. I haven't studied it too much, but it seems to hold true in many instances. Theories are better when they are based on data. Your theory has... a lot of holes.
  15. Thome seems like he'd make a great hitting coach.
  16. He's way too chatty. There's nothing wrong with a little silence, dude.
  17. 7ks in 4 innings. Anyone see velo reports or how his “new” curveball looked? Everythng looked phenomenal.
  18. Stoney talking W-L for starters in relation to the 6 man rotation, lol.
  19. Really good. The team is freaking amazing.
  20. Stoney with the first, "strike 'em out low and away projection.
  21. He'll always be beefy on the inside.
  22. He’s a young Josh Donaldson from both sides of the plate. Enjoy the ride.
  23. Our Cobs are going to rake this year.
  24. Anecdotal evidence, but I just watched a bunch of Heyward's highlights (mostly 2015 on), and literally every well-driven ball he hits, his front foot is flat. There may be something to this. Is there a reason why he rolls his ankle? Like he's not balanced/shifting too much or quick from back to front when he swings? Just curious to know what would cause it and if it's somewhat "fixable". It’s not necessarily the rolled ankle as much as it is where his foot is pointed. He almost need to pronate his right foot so he doesn’t fly open. That swing is made for the 4-3.
  25. Yeah, why not just shorten the game to one inning. That will keep people on the edge of their seat.
