MLBN didn't show the front side replay until after the catch and I was thinking you guys were all nuts. What the hell is wrong with Hammel tonight?
-
As bad as that looks, the predictor thing makes it look like it won't hit Wrigley until around 9;00, so they can likely get in a bunch of innings before it hits.

I'm semi-sensitive to it because one of my kids has been gluten-free for about 3 years. She had digestive problems (bad constipation) which lead to behavior problems (she always felt bad, so she was often moody and unpleasant). Eliminating gluten solved the physical problem, which greatly improved the behavior problem, and we went from something that was a constant source of stress to an afterthought. Sure, there are a bunch of douche-bags who have taken to it like every other fad diet, but Bernie Lincicome can eat a bag of dicks for his dismissive and condescending statement (particularly to open an article, which I'm sure only got worse) Of course there are people who have legitimate problems with gluten, but it's like maybe 1% of the population.I have a good friend who was able to stop wearing glasses after they discovered they had celiac. The clowns who literally have no clue what gluten is or that it's likely the reason most of the human population has survived as long and well as it has makes me want to throat punch every damn one of them. Gluten is delicious and amazing (for most people).

1995 to 2011 is 17 seasons (no playoffs in 94 due to the strike). You say 5 wild card teams won, so that's 5/17 or 29%. Considering that the other 3 "seeds" only won 12 /17, I'd say no, it wasn't harder then to win as a wild card, which is one of the reasons they added the extra WC and the play in game, so the team with the best record actually got a real advantage for being the best team over 162 games.

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.

Regular Season and Playoff Schedule Thoughts
mul21 replied to apete6's topic in General Baseball Talk
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:
-
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.
-
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.

8/4 Cubs (Arrieta) @ Pirates (Happ) 6:05, WGN

good on ya, barves I enjoy most of the goofy stuff, but this annoys me for some unknown reason. Maybe it's the pronunciation. -
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.
