  1. i'll hold onto your money and keep it safe
  2. very funny to consider PSU came to know that UM was running every play and still couldn't stop it
  3. hell yeah, this also really seems like a clear harbinger of a "pushing our chips in the pot" type of off-season
  4. what i'm hung up on is why they even bothered to do any of this for the cupcake schedule they've faced so far

  6. i'm not a defensive guru like Freeman but to me parking all your DBs in the end zone on 3rd & 19 seems a bad scheme
  7. "mythological hero, a-chill-iss"
  8. might need to switch broadcasts to escape Sutcliffe's effusive blather
  9. don't really remember ever waiting out a diarrhea delay
  10. i really don't think PFFs ratings work very well for quarterbacking, if you strip all context out then their one holistic number doesn't seem to hold a lot of meaning
  11. yeah don't know what to really make of this
  12. that's pretty silly, you don't trade 3 top-100/50 FV prospects for one season of a 3-win player unless, your name is Dave Stewart or something like that
  13. i was at the ICubs game last night, and my main overall takeaway is that the ABS really makes AAA a bad baseball experience it's surely worsened quite a bit because all the washouts, NPs and rehabbers that surface there but almost nobody could reliably throw strikes and everybody's mostly watching pitches the whole game PCA BB'd his first two PA and (in a 6-1 game) K swinging his next two, violently slamming his bat in frustration both times – that guy probably needs to chill out a bit he also tagged from 2nd on a flyout to LF which was kinda wild
  14. ..on the plus side it apparently led to him learning to correctly spell one of his favorite slurs *Vince McMahon excited reaction meme template* "If people are allowed to preach hatred in this country and incite violence according to the first amendment then I damn well can use the word "retarted""
  15. really rooting for him to set a new record for most HR in a negative-fWAR season, currently held by Dave Kingman for his 1982 campaign of 37 HR and -0.5 fWAR, on the strength of a .204/.285/.432 slash and -24 defense for Schwarber, ZiPS-update pegs him (phrasing) for 42 HR and 0.4 WAR, so hoping he muffs a few extra flyballs or slows his BBs pace accordingly to achieve this ignominious distinction dishonorable mention: 1983 Tony Armas (36 HR, -0.2 fWAR) 2016 Matt Kemp (35 HR, -0.6 fWAR) 1986 Dave Kingman (35 HR, -0.8 fWAR) 1999 Dante Bichette (34 HR, -2.1 fWAR)
  16. yeah no horsefeathers it's because the alternative has a 7 ERA since the end of May
  17. yep it didn't escape my notice that Yohn donged 😏
  18. roughly 2/3 his PA were facing older pitchers anyway this is getting too tedious to soldier on
  19. oh damn Mash has some quick cat-like reflexes i hadn't realized were there
  20. how many guys would the tennis ball hit who boasted age-appropriate seasons in the high minors with .600 SLG & sub-20% Ks
  21. if i may make another suggestion, one that reads "Yonathan Perlaza has 57 doubles in his last 146 games played"
  22. sigh, it's true, i even have an embroidered throw pillow that says "Matt Mervis will be exactly as good as Mike Trout"
