I know Zobrist and Fowler are both starters and have been awesome, but just run that lineup out there once a week or so just to remind everyone what's in store for the future.
-
Let me get this straight C - Contreras 1B - Rizzo 2B - Baez SS - Russell 3B - Bryant LF - Soler (Schwarbs next year) CF - Almora RF - Heyward Rizzo is the oldest player on that list (by 1 day over JHey) at 26. hahahahahahahahaha

I assumed the 2nd L was a tribute to Phish.

you can say that again

I like Gold Gloves and I cannot lie: the Jason Heyward thread

Chris Coghlan to Cubs for Mendy; LaStella to DL
Tracer Bullet replied to UMFan83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Oh my God you are putting way too much thought into this and he absolutely was traded as a result of the signing. yeah i doubt they really wanted jhey to be the every day CF all season but there's a direct cause/effect here. -
i'm the commish and i'm still a heartless dick. i try to check people's teams and give them warnings when they need to make changes. the rules allow you 7 days to move someone from the DL when they come off the DL in real life. So when we're in the middle of that 7 day window and I know about it, I'll let people know. I try to help people out. But sometimes I don't see issues until after they've already had illegal rosters for a while. maybe you'll feel better but raw loses his best start for having paxton in the minors if he doesn't come up by tomorrow, his next start. the other roster issues were fixed. what makes this league particularly difficult is stuff like this. i try to help people out and if they don't notice the post here and at CBS, then they get mad when the rules are enforced and sometimes threaten to quit. When I notice some issues but not others, the owner of the teams with issues I don't notice get mad when the rules are enforced. it'd be cool if everyone just took a little personal responsibility and when they had an illegal roster for a week, just accepted the penalty without bitching or calling me a dick.

I'm Calvinball and it's not bad form to accept a trade without discussion. no problem at all
-
I missed your last line about leaving. if you're seriously leaving the league, then please undo your last trade and just coast until the end of the year until we can replace you. i don't think there's any real reason for you to leave, but i don't think it's right to make trades as a lame duck manager

Javier Baez's Plate Discipline (Or Lack Thereof)
Tracer Bullet replied to Aaron_Kennelly's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
SP ERA seems like a candidate b/c it's just so historically ridiculous. -
john lackey sucks and we were always right to hate him
Tracer Bullet replied to treebird's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
so truffle thinks lackey's use should be severely limited? -
Tim, you can take the b out of nsbb but you'll never take our jorts jokes
-
I think tim has been fine with tix sales at face value in the past.
-
Alamo, DBlock, and STI all need to make some roster changes to stay legal.
-
speed doesn't age well? he'll be 35 in august.

Slim pickings in AL Catchers there, Sal Perez seems to be the default choice. Also he may or may not be dead, like how the Royals position players are dropping like flies He didn't mean "leads the AL catchers" He leads all players in votes this

72 hours

How about this, which is a majority of those voting but includes a minimum number of teams that have to vote? Presumably, the two teams that traded will vote in favor, so this means at least 3 people have to be against it. In effect, whenever there is a trade, a team can come here and start a poll in this thread to veto it. Does that work? This doesn't hold up trades that go through, but only retroactively cancels unfair trades. I didn't include a change in scoring by the commissioner b/c that would be a pain in the ass, but we could add that I guess. Voting on Trades: All trades are subject to a 72-hour voting period during which all teams may vote once to either allow or veto the trade. A trade is vetoed if (1) 50% or more of the teams that cast a vote are in favor of a veto, and (2) at least 5 teams vote on the trade. The effectiveness of the trade will not be delayed during the voting period. But if vetoed, the trade will be reversed.
-
you want me to veto a trade b/c 4 people objected to it? i'm happy to put it to a vote or whatever but not enough people pay attention in this league. i had a lot of discussions with rodelo about the trade and he threatened to leave b/c i was questioning the way he values players. he didn't think kluber was very valuable so he flipped him b/c he thinks joc may become an elite hitter. so what am i supposed to do? there's a reason we've had a different commissioner every year that i've been in this league. it's incredibly frustrating when you've got a handful of people that pay close attention and get pissed easily and nearly half the league that never communicates about anything.

Wonder if he was named after Aidos, the greek god of humility

I'm not seeing it on front page, but you can link but clicking through to cubs articles tab on front page. Tim might have to put it on the front page. Here is a link, though: http://www.northsidebaseball.com/articles/cubs-articles/24-statcast-fun-with-addison-russell Really fantastic work, Duke. Truly a great read. But if you ever take a shot at Castro again, my 11 year old son is going to hunt you down and kill you in your sleep. just a heads up.

the wins are impressive but we only have 14 losses. next closest teams have 20 losses. that's insane.
-
and i'm still going to lose to him bc I couldn't muster up 3 non-shit starts. Thanks for pointing that out, Steve. Wanna kick my dog while you're here?
