    His commentary on the replay of the Castro homer last night was great. Castro: McCarver: "Wacha doesn't even turn to look at the home run." Wacha: He also said Rizzo had had testicular cancer. It was Hodgkin's lymphoma, right?

    wondering how Joe plans to work Neil Ramirez back in. Would be amazing to add 2014 Ramirez to the BP
  3. Stu
    Lou had that weird thing with Michael Wuertz though, remember that? He "disappeared" an effective (not great or dominant but effective, IIR) reliever and no one ever knew why.

    If you are counting the Hamels no hitter, he didn't play that game. I was, I thought he was off the DL by then and played that weekend. I was on vacation so didn't watch that game so I guess my facts are off.

    so Utley has played in 3 no hitters this year, right? I wonder if that has happened before

    What is really kind of cool is Mad Bum has hit 5 dongs, most by a pitcher since Big Z, in like '08.

    Just wanted to confirm that with numbers ERA: MB: 3.02 JA: 2.22 FIP: MB: 2.85 JA: 2.58 K/9: MB: 9.5 JA: 9.2 WHIP: MB: 1.04 JA: 0.98 WAR: MB: 3.1 JA: 5.5 Fairly similar but looks like Jake has been significantly more valuable Why the big bump for Jake in WAR? Numbers are pretty similar otherwise

    Mad Bum and Arrieta have very similar numbers this year. What really strikes me is how crazy affordable Mad Bum is, from FanGraphs: ◦2013: $0.8M, 2014: $3.8M, 2015: $6.8M, 2016: $9.8M, 2017: $11.5M ◦2018 Team Option: $12M ($1.5M buyout) ◾2018 option becomes guaranteed with 200 IP in 2017 or 400 IP in 2016-17. Options increase to $14M with top 3 finish in Cy Young vote 2012-17 or to $16M with Cy Young award 2012-17 ◦2019 Team Option: $12M ($1.5M buyout)

    Cleveland had opportunity to hit dongs like that too but chose not to.

    Irritating that opposing fans can fill up Wrigley. It sounds like there are a TON of Tigers fans there. WTH?
  11. Stu
    Vietnam devalued the dong today. Not sure what this means for the Cubs today, just pointing it out.
  12. Stu
    why am I getting ads for gay cruises? and no, it's not my browsing history. could it be driven by the surge in the use of the word "dong" here? Speaking in all seriousness. have never seen this before today.
  13. Stu
    just burn Richard, who cares?
  14. Stu
    Hendricks is hard to watch today.
  15. Stu
    wondering about the offense: Schwarber DH and Castro at 2B??
  16. Stu
    Jhonny F. PEDralta. Just wanted to vent. Thanks.
  17. Stu
    Not sure which is worse -- St. Louis has a Kolten Wong, or that Mike Shannon pronounces it "Coatin' Waong"
  18. Stu
    Denorfia has been great, just what you need from a 4th OF and pinch hitter.
  19. Stu
    Didn't Sutter get hurt though? He was insane that year, just absolutely filthy, then he got hurt and they tanked.
  20. Stu
    There were actually a few places claiming Moran was the best bat in the draft. Moran pretty much crashed and burned, didn't he? Isn't he like already with his second org now?
  21. Stu
    LOL, 85 pitches through 2 1/3, Serious? Edit 86 through 3 but still, amazing
  22. Stu
    that was remarkably candid, really threw me for a loop
  23. Stu
    Did anyone see that note in the Sun Times today quoting Hoyer as saying a Cubs-Mets deal would be a good fit and likely happen at some point, or something like that? it stuck me as way out of character. Did I read that wrong?
  24. Stu
    Wonder why Maddon didn't double switch there. Wouldn't it have made sense to put Welly in for Miggy, batting in Hendricks spot?
  25. Stu
    Does anyone else find Mike Shannon annoying? I cannot decide who I despise more, him or Marty Brennaman
