That was quick. -
He is a multi-position guy in about the same way Jake Fox was. Ok, not quite that bad, and much more athletic. But also not good (defensively).
-
Completely anecdotal and possibly not backed up by statistics, but I think he has shown some better plate discipline at times towards the end of the season.
-
Relief pitchers should earn their pension by appearance, because this type of usage may not bode well for him having a long career.
-
Great play there by Swanson.
-
Leiter has nothing at all left. Every outing from him is like a 1980's starting pitcher going into the 9th inning with 130 pitches thrown and just hoping guys hit the ball at someone.
-
His numbers really aren't that far off from last year in total. Just a little less slug this year and a higher ground ball rate. So this might be about what we're gonna get for the next several years.
-
If the Cubs come back and win this I'm just going to be more annoyed that both the Mets and Pirates couldn't hold onto their leads.
-
Not directed at squally at all, but it reminds me of a guy in the bleachers several years ago. The Cubs were losing badly and all throughout the game he kept saying "loooooooootta baseball left!" all the way to to the 8th inning or so. I can still hear his voice and it still makes me laugh in situations like this.
-
It can be both. I'm pretty sure I said I expected them to be around or slightly above .500, so they pretty much met my expectations overall. But given where they were a few weeks ago, my expectations were recalibrated and then severely underperformed.
-
It's over whether they concede it or not. But I agree that Ross is going to keep managing like they have a chance until they absolutely don't, and I can't fault him for that.
-
Over/under 0.5 hits for Dansby the rest of the season?
-
Marlins win a 1 run game. Pair that with a Cubs loss tonight and this this is as over as it gets without being officially over.
-
Do the same tiebreakers apply for draft position as they do for playoff position?
-
I don't really want to criticize Bellinger's defense, especially when he's playing somewhat out of position, but I feel like he is a bit slow to get down on those hard hit grounders down the line. I'm not entirely sure that one was playable, but we see other guys knock those down.
-
Might as well. If they aren't making the playoffs, just keep losing.
-
Oh look, another defensive misplay.
-
Kyle wasn't even close on that Yelich at bat.
-
He is an incredibly frustrating offensive player.
-
And now the Marlins have... you guessed it... A 1 run lead.
-
Why do I keep scoreboard watching? The Marlins are about to tie the game or take the lead
-
Didn't you read the fine print??? Once you subscribe, you can NEVER cancel! Seriously though, I have no idea.
-
That should definitely be a consideration. A lot of things can happen in the off-season, but I would lean toward having him start the season in Iowa and hope he forces their hand like Morel did this year
-
I don't even remember the rules anymore. If the delay had started prior to the 9th would it still have been a suspended game, or would it's have been considered official at that point?
-
What the horsefeathers is going on?
