  1. I despise agreeing with Kyle but he's right on this one. Dude is trash.
  2. OLine is bad, DLine is bad, coaching is bad. I'm not sure you can evaluate anything else properly when those 3 things are as atrocious as they were yesterday. I think Poles being a former lineman is severely jading his ability to evaluate the performance of a try hard, low ability guy he picked in the 7th round to be a starting LT in the NFL. And I still have no idea why there was no effort to get an additional impact player on the DLine in the offseason. In conclusion, fire them all and start over. This horsefeathers ain't working.
  3. How many 100+ mph EV balls have they hit to 3B in the last 2 days? Ridiculous.
  4. Same here. Crazy with how many innings guys threw back then.
  5. That was a hell of a pick by the DBacks 1B.
  6. Do the Chiefs cut Kadarius Toney today? I'm kidding but man, talk about single handedly costing your team a game by not doing the very thing you're paid to do.
  7. @PJCubfan game threads are here on the day of the game and then get moved over.
  8. That was a nice low pitch count inning for Wicks. Be nice to get 6 out of him today since they seem to be willing to let him go 90 pitches.
  9. Nah, they're actively ****** people doing harm to the least of us and they've given us plenty to tee off on them for. It's why I haven't been to Wrigley in at least 5 years. I refuse to give them any of my money.
  10. It's wild to me that the math works out for them. Obviously the suites and all inclusive seats are going to do that for them, but more butts in seats means more beer and hot dogs sold. I have to think another 3-5,000 people in the building would be buying more than enough concessions on top of their tickets to result in higher revenues than more expensive seats do.
  11. I'm a little baffled at the time and resources spent on getting him built up to 5 innings and then sending him packing after calling him up for 1 IP. Just weird.
  12. Eh, Jeimer needs a day off. He's been bad for 2 weeks now.
  13. Yeah, it's cliché and super hokey but the old "I want winners" from Singletary has some merit. Even a guy like Morel who's been terrible of late hit the ball really hard and forced them to make a play. This team has some guys with huge cajones and Justin Steele is near the top of the list for me.
  14. Well that's certainly not ideal.
  15. You saying things like this when there's clearly 2-3 guys better than him regardless of whatever made up criteria you're working off of is why people get annoyed with you.
  16. As a resident of the St. Louis are for the last 20 years, I can say with great confidence that this absolutely could have happened at Busch. The number of guns stolen out of cars from Jefferson County parked in the downtown St. Louis area is astronomical.
  17. The same player being the most common answer for the 3,000 hit club for the Dodgers and Angels is amusing.
  18. Wicks is not going to be giving them 6-7 IP per start. He's on a pitch count and an innings count, plus he strikes out a decent amount of guys and therefore isn't super efficient. They need to have a plan to cover the 6th and 7th in games he starts unless they get lucky and he's managing a low pitch count on a particular night.
  19. I don't think those are situations you can really glean a philosophy from. KB was going to be a great player and they were delaying the service time clock to keep him for an extra year and with Morel he's an obvious unfinished/flawed product and very likely isn't going to be a superstar that you miss having an extra year of control on. I think comparing how maybe Happ and PCA are handled is probably a better 1:1 if you're looking for a barometer of each guy's philosophies.
  20. I can see taking a chance on Green based on his Iowa usage, but we've done the Kilian and Wesneski experiments already this season with poor results and I'm not sure there's any reason to expect that to be any different if they try them again. At least Wicks gives you some optimism for success and even if he's only giving you 4 IP every time out, if he's allowing 0-2 runs doing it, it's light years better than what they've been getting out of that spot.
