    I didn't think he had a prayer when that came off the bat and it wasn't particularly close to not being a catch at the end.

    This is really funny to read after the game.

    The fact that their pitchers are wildly outperforming their FIPs the last time I saw the number gives me hope of some 2nd half regression. Their offense isn't likely to stay as putrid as it had been though, so it may be a wash.

    Yep, upon re-reading it, there isn't any mention of a batted ball. I initially assumed that was included when it said the runners are forced to advance, but the rule quoted clearly has no bearing on this particular play.

    1. Leagues/Divisions stay as is, regular season remains 162 games. Regular Season: 18 games vs. division foes (72 games) 6 games vs. rest of your league (60 games) 3 games vs. each team in designated other league division (30 games) I'm lost on the math on the bolded.......what teams are they playing? Just one of the other divisions and it should be 6 games or 2 of the other 3?

    Sounds like a disease Tony LaRussa might have.

    This can't possibly be true. If the ball is hit to 3rd and he steps on the base and throws to 2nd for whatever reason, resulting in a double play, that rule says that as long as the runner on 3rd and the batter touch home and first, that double play doesn't matter. There has to be some exception for a force play being a factor.

    That was what surprised me the most on that list.

    BFIBs already scared and in meltdown mode apparently. :twisted:
  11. mul21
    That was even more terrifying if you were listening to Pat on the radio. He wasn't sure if it was gone or not off the bat.

    i sure wish we didn't have to play in the same division as the stupid cardinals It will make their miserable tears of sadness that much more enjoyable when we stomp them into oblivion. Which I won't say a word about until after the last out of a series against them.

    Montero hitting respectably in the 7 spot in the lineup really makes them deep if KB and Soler can heat back up. I'm getting giddy about what these next two months could look like.
  14. mul21
    It happens so often it's becoming cliche, but it's still amazing to me just how damn hard Soler hits line drives.

    One of the blond bimbos on sportscenter was calling him that this morning too.

    I don't get why you guys are so caught up in things like this. Some players/pitchers aren't championed in the minors and can develop into really good players in the majors. It happens quite often actually. Because it never seems to happen for us. Every once in a while we see some irrelevant dude like Donnie Murphy play out of his mind for a few months, but almost never do our marginal players develop legit, solid careers, which is what consistently happens in St. Louis. Yes, I think this is what it is. Now I'm going to waste time trying to figure out the last time a generally untouted guy turned into a legitimate thing for the Cubs for more than a month or so. ETA: I guess you could pretty easily make the case Arrieta would qualify, actually. Theriot and Hendricks come to mind. The biggest problem is that the Cubs haven't developed many of their own players over the years.

    What situation would you have where it is illegal, then legal, then illegal again? Agreed, if anything it would only be the opposite. Guy is 17, girl is 15. She turns 16, 6 months later, he turns 18. Illegal, legal, illegal.

    Pence looks like a spastic hobo.

    good on ya, barves I enjoy most of the goofy stuff, but this annoys me for some unknown reason. Maybe it's the pronunciation.
  20. mul21
    I get the frustration with not getting more, but if it was Javy or bust for the potential trade partners, then I don't have a big problem with not getting the big target they were going for. It sucks, but Haren is better than the trash they've been throwing out there in the #5 slot.
  21. mul21
    They gave one to the one and only Daniel Descalso last night too. That was about the most awful game I could have possibly gone to.
  22. mul21
    Anyone up for a game of Boggle™? I did that on purpose, but if you haven't been here forever you probably missed the reference.
  23. mul21
    Thank you for giving me a brain splitting migraine. I mean I understand what you're trying to say -- but Mike Leake is not the guy that puts you over the top. If they win again it'll be because they still have Bumgarner pitching 3 games in a series and going crazy, not because of Leake. However they may lose quite a few more games in the future because they gave up their #1 guy. The inability of people to grasp that a move like this isn't about the postseason itself but about solidifying the ability to get there in the first place is mind bottling. Leake may not even pitch in the playoffs, but if he makes 11 starts over the next two months and has a 3.5 ERA vs. the alternative who may have a 4.5 ERA, that's potentially the difference between winning 4 games or 8 games and getting into or not getting into the playoffs.

    Usual [expletive] of them deciding to score runs the one [expletive] time they ever give up any, but what they do doesn't really matter anymore. I was at this game tonight and it was the most Cardinal game ever. I also had the poster child of the BFIBs sitting in front of me too. At the game by himself, talking loudly to no one in particular, utterly socially unaware, overweight, and smelled like a wet dog, which I'm fairly certain stemmed from the disgusting 20+ year old jersey thing he was wearing. It was gross. My daughter and I got up and moved after a couple innings of his idiocy.

    Chris Rusin just hit a 2 run dong off of Carlos Martinez. Hopefully a harbinger of things to come.
