  2. I feel way too calm for what's to come. I'm sure getting to The most packed bar in the history of my life tomorrow to watch will change that quickly
  3. checkin in meatballs
  4. i just wanna say, no matter what happens in the 9th. i love you guys
  5. We can do this. we can do this. we can do this. #wearegood
  6. just logging in, first comment of the post season. for the 2nd straight night, after things were getting tense (after the game got tied up, tonight same deal), decided to distract my stress by....well this is a PG13 board i assume......doing some boyfriend/girlfriend things....and the moment i return to the game, addy has hit a homer. if scientifically we can prove a correlation a 3rd time than you can bet i'll be doing my part come crunch time.
  7. Looking at our depth chart right now http://i.imgur.com/efc9TZZ.png I'm being captain obvious by noticing that there are clearly more pegs than holes here. So some questions. We're sold on Contreras as our future at C over Schwarber. Will Schwarber get enough PA's between Platooning at LF and backing up at catcher? Do we bring back Fowler next year based on how well he gels with this team? Are we hoping Soler builds himself up to be a centerpiece of a future deal? Is Baez going to be a supersub forever in hopes that he becomes the everyday 2B when Zobrist gets to the end of his contract?
  8. http://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/2016/2/29/11127218/why-kyle-schwarber-should-give-up-catching Interesting article about the longterm benefits of keeping Kyle away from the plate. What do you guys think?
  9. His character aside, getting a strong viable #3 with this short of a commitment is much less risky than throwing 5 years at Shark or someone comparable. With a rotation of Arrieta Lester Lackey Hammel Henderson Our rotation is already one of the better ones in the league. If we can find a #4 via trade, than I think we're a solid defensive CF, we'll be one of, if not the most well rounded teams in the league.
  10. Does anyone feel there may be a benefit to waiting till mid-season to trade one of Baez or Soler in terms of increasing their value/buying low from a team that is out of the race early? Obviously there is a risk that there values will depreciate but it will allow us to give both a much needed half season to really understand further what they are worth/their potential impact to the team. If just one of them breaks out, they could be the centerpiece to getting a TOR instead of having to be packaged together.
  11. Change of subject, but what are you guys thinking as far as trade chips Do we take advantage of some of our ML ready pieces for a contender? Do we overwhelm a rebuilding team with a "variety" pack of young options that are 3.5-4.5 stars? Is there anyone who is untouchable for you? Who would you trade Russell/Schwarber for?
  12. Wanted to get more eyeballs on this, but mods please move if you deem this irrelevant to this subforum. This idea might be frowned upon because it involves shifting focus away from the coming back to the actual NSBB forum for live discussions (game threads), but I think it would be really fun to experiment with a Slack based chatroom for these and maybe other topics. https://slack.com/ The immediate negative would be losing the archival nature of game threads, and also the grand tradition of them, but maybe it could be use as more a supplement and less of a replacement. I also know that Slack has a ton of API integrations that could possibly export the chat archives into readable digests? Would love ya'll's 2 cents.
  13. how many times have infield popups fallen to the ground in between multiple fielders this year already for the cubs.
  14. wow lol forgot what day it was, so weird...
  15. Welcome aboard - Paul DePodesta - Data Science Group I work at the Israeli branch, found it kind of funny , and didn't know where else to post this.
  16. would love to see a cosby/theo Gif.
  17. Isn't the best equation to use here have to do with W's and L's though....and more specfically the WS variable....
  18. the headline alone made me laugh out loud for some reason. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=6529161 this has probably been posted somewhere but i couldn't find it. Hmmmm
  19. how's his plate discipline developing? That's what i'm really concerned with. If he can get on base at a clip around .390+ then i won't really care about power deficiency
  20. Honestly, I think that its worth it. and would it be that crazy to think that Pujols might put up .800+ OPS numbers from age 37-40?
  21. Minor detail, but most lineups include a second baseman. Pujols can cover 1st and 2nd. Hes that damn good. im going with this.
