    There's no limit, it just costs them more to air games on a "superstation" than in just the local market.

    Yeah, I was there for a game in July a few years ago and was wearing long pants and a fleece because it was cool and breezy.

    I don't think this is right since he's a lefty.

    Signing bonuses are prorated over the life of the contract. So, if a guy gets a $10Mil signing bonus over 5 years, it counts 2Mil against the cap every year. Doesn't matter if he gets all $10Mil up front, defers half, some or all of it. Until he's cut Signing bonuses still count against the cap if you're cut though, right? Because that's guaranteed money. I believe you take the cap hit for the year you cut him. So a $10 mil signing bonus guy that gets cut after 3 years has the remaining $4 mil go against the cap all at once. What I'm not sure of is if that $4 mil is retroactive to year 3 or if it goes onto what would have been year 4.

    The officiating in this game has been comically bad. Apparently you can foul a guy's elbow with your face and have a technical called on the elbower at the same time. Now NBA continuation rules are in effect after non-charge calls that should have been called. Also, I think this might turn into a tackle football game before it's over. They're not calling much around the basket but seem to be calling ticky tack stuff out high.

    His name is attached to the Biogenesis scandal. If the investigation uncovers any damning evidence he'll likely be found guilty of PED use. You think they're going to suspend him without a positive test? They didn't even suspend him when they did have one. It's in the CBA that they can do it if there's enough of a paper trail.

    There were too many words in that post for me to find them all. :wink:

    Even living in St. Louis with the Mizzou presence I haven't really paid much attention. Who even has a shot besides FL? Mizzou, Kentucky, and Ole Miss?
  11. mul21
    Exactly what I thought.

    Yeah, those are the fans that even if you show them the 6:1 K:BB ratio and the really low HR rate (yes, I realize it's only the DSL) won't care because "OMG, Campana is fast and we need to steal moar bases" while completely oblivious to the fact that you have to be on base regularly to be able to do that.
  13. mul21
    Wow, they really have completely lost their minds about the gritty, try hard guys in AZ haven't they? That's way more than I would have expected to get for Campana.

    After the way he got out of it last year, I wouldn't be surprised to see Selig try to stick it to him to set an example, even if it is the Brewers.

    So does Phil own the Lakers now and he can just ride in and rescue them?

    The gum was disgusting before it was 20+ yrs old.

    What do you consider "pretty significantly"? How would that compare to getting a CF that could hit for more power? Poorly worded on your first question. I meant to say he could increase the amount of runs scored in a significant way. In other words, runs being at the premium it appears they might be this year along with a seemingly solid pitching staff, the extras scored/created by a guy like Bourn could be significant in terms of games won. On the second, not something I thought about since it's not something readilt available to the Cubs right now. You'd always like to have power at a position that doesn't traditionally have it. Gives you lots of options in filling out your roster.

    I'm not sure what caused it or when exactly it happened, but this team had an epiphany at some point and gained an understanding of what Groce wants them to do. They've been so much crisper in execution on both ends of the floor it's like watching a different team. They've been so much better at everything and even my one huge complaint, closing out 3 point shooters, has been much better lately. They've also gotten away with pushing Northwestern all over the place tonight.

    I think when you take into account the general lack of power the Cubs have in their lineup, you could look at a guy with Bourn's baserunning ability as a major positive. The ability to grab that extra base on a regular basis, whether by going 1st to 3rd on a single, stealing a base, or scoring from 1st on a double, could increase the amount of runs scored pretty significantly throughout an entire season. Now, put him on that Cubs team with Sosa, Alou, Ramirez, and D. Lee hitting 3-6 and those extra bases probably aren't as critical since there's a lot higher likelihood of a home run from those guys than the current roster has the ability to produce.

    Any reason you didn't include Castillo, Barney and Rizzo considering they're all pretty much locks to be on the 25 man?
  22. mul21
    They've been playing much faster the last few games. You can tell they're reacting a little more instinctively now instead of having to think before every move they make. If Griffey can continue to contribute offensively, that's huge because his shooting ability will open up the middle a lot by drawing one of the other team's big guys to the perimeter. I'm not sold yet, but I'm getting closer to believing this is real improvement and not just fluke wins.
  23. mul21
    Um, get the hell out of here, you're clearly the problem!

    That was his first made threes since 2012. He has been playing awful. That's why we have ripped on him. Exactly. That was by far the most complete game he's ever played at Illinois. Typically, if he's not hitting shots (which, as noted, he hasn't been. 0 for 21 slump to be exact) he's completely useless. He actually got in there and mixed it up last night. His defense was still not good and he very rarely got a body on somebody trying to defensive rebound, but he was way more physical than usual and made a very good read on the game winning play.

    TT, Butters and I think Formerly Snayke.
