  1. Is there a reason that the pitchers always bat 9th this season?
  2. I'm pretty sure everyone including Duke is frustrated/annoyed by the outcome. Yeah, definitely. I'm just more perplexed by the overarching statements about our offense sucking, or how people are worried about middle relief pitchers, or how "[expletive] is getting really old" for Ski. We're 41-18. It's all cool to me. Yes, I get mad when we lose games. It is frustrating. And it sucks seeing guys like Russell struggle at the plate. But, I also feel perfectly comfortable perched up on our throne, well above everyone else in the whole league. Actually, Russsell's struggles are one of the few things that does have me genuinely concerned.
  3. It's the only option for the game on MLB Extra Innings. Weird. If you have mlbtv on a Bluray or something similar, both feeds are available. Cox cable. It is weird. Sometimes they have both broadcasts available and other times, no. I did get to hear "LASER".
  4. I don't understand how this happens. Are the Braves your local broadcast or something? It's the only option for the game on MLB Extra Innings.
  5. So I am stuck having to listen to the Chipster as my option tonight?
  6. Watching Twins/Marlins (no idea why). Stanton 0 for 5 with 4 Ks and a GIDP. What the he'll has happened to him?
  7. I'll remember him as being the first of the first wave and me getting so excited about what was coming. Sort of like getting mozzarella sticks before a steak.
  8. Oh man this is the best thing I've read all day even better than how the 43 year old nerd got the hottest women? To be fair, Jane Fonda doesn't look that hot any more.
  9. That post epitomizes why this website barely gets any new members. I wasn't trying to troll at all. I sincerely am against working a pitcher hard in order to get a no hitter. We saw back in 2003 how working Prior and Wood hard lead to. But you decided to get nasty with your reply. Way to not start a conversation on a legitimate issue. And yet you continue to come back. Your larger point is noted, but picking apart some little comment by Maddon to make this point shows your motives here. Jake threw under 120 pitches in that game FFS. Stop.
  10. Of course I'd rather be so far ahead that the closer isn't needed. Maybe I'm alone, but this RD nonsense seems stupid. The Cubs are awesome. Cool. I am loving this season, but a +200 run differential doesn't give a bye to the NLCS, so I couldn't give 2 shits, honestly.
  11. Does anyone else here care next to nothing about run diff? I'm actually more concerned about Rondon not getting many high leverage opportunities than stupid RD. It seems like dumb fantasy sports driven nonsense. Just win a gazillion games and go to the playoffs, FFS.
  12. Why isn't there a hate button here. Stop this nonsense.
  13. Well horsefeathers, let's just induct Angel Pagan then.
  14. This pitcher is toast. They're going to torch him next time through the order.
  15. Hey Tim, this CNN report of an 18 year old kid getting rich is making it really hard to navigate the site. I get redrected to that article every 2 or 3 clicks on here I make. I-phone 6 using Safari.
  16. You'll be very hard pressed to find a Cards fan who thinks otherwise.
  17. Same place Heyward is. Ready to PH against some scrub in the late innings.
  18. Where, happily, they sport a .680 winning percentage.
  19. 17 year old shortstops become 22 year old third basemen and left fielders. Junior Lake is a very good example. My sarcasm was hardening back to the Russell/Baez/Mendy/Castro conversations.
  20. What's with the glut of middle infielders?
  21. Agreed. I get ads, but the redirects are pretty annoying.
