DH = doubleheader

Psssh, I remember that year you were a Hawks fan, and then when they sucked you switched to being a Flyers fan. Now the Flyers suck so you pretend hockey doesn't exist? I "followed" the Flyers because the girl I was dating at the time was a big time Flyers fan. I have not even attempted to follow hockey since like... 2008? you could say there was a real outpouring of fandom

oh would you look at that, Olt's wrist still isn't right and Neil Ramirez also needs a DL stint so we need a couple players from Iowa to fill out the roster i guess the 3B with the 1000 OPS will do

i won't stand for this Der Fowl disrespect

gulp.

nice patience by Der Fowl

well, they have Tony Cingrani just hanging out there in the bullpen

every player in baseball can DH for an AL team, i don't know how this is a special skill that Castillo would possess

i'd always wondered last season why they never experimented with him or Lake in the IF with the idea of having a more versatile/useful bench player in the future, but if there were ever any intentions of trying him at 3B seems like tonight would be the perfect opportunity, with Wood being so FB-heavy and you could effectively swap out Herrera for Szczur in the lineup but it's exceedingly unlikely that's being considered an option at all

there's no way they delay his call-up Theo's even being amusingly circuitous with his roster management: "oh man, our bullpen is just so taxed right now" (cut to Friday) "wow, i just noticed we have no healthy third basemen..." he dgaf, nor should he, really what would ever we do without his .579 career OPS and 38% Ks?

Carter Capps has perfected the Walden hop http://s3.amazonaws.com/br-cdn/temp_images/2015/04/14/805a254ffc0f95bb847ef453b5a5f7de.gif?1429026873

but this is so much less of an issue in Wrigley than it is in spacious LF like Coors/PNC/Petco i'm a little bit excited by the idea of completely reversing course on the defense-first craze of the last 5? years in baseball and putting out a (relative) murderer's row lineup where nobody but Rizzo is a plus fielder Fowler CF Soler RF Rizzo 1B Bryant 3B Coghlan LF Castro SS Montero C P Alcantara 2B also, to your point, he was a completely neutral rating to UZR last year for some reason i'm curious about, but yeah, DRS wasn't so kind

got it on my first guess i'll credit the countless hours i played this game as a kid, though: http://cache.coverbrowser.com/image/dos-games/2051-1.jpg

is currently 2nd in wRC+ amongst all qualified MLB hitters this year, and is hitting .287/.357/.471 overall as a Cub higher fWAR than Castro over that period (and every other non-Rizzo position player) maybe there's something there? ZiPS isn't so hopeful, but his spotty, injury-ridden track record helps to explain that

everything about this is awesome - umpire's Frank Drebin imitation - batter's trouble coming to terms with cold, harsh reality - catcher's hollywood framing pose / sell-job

Cam Erving, OL, FSU

i liked it before it was cool (Baez Hate Hipster?)

um, that HR hurt our o-swing percentage

i hope we kept the receipt from the Jon Lester purchase

nobody should be surprised when that happens

well that was very nice of them to sit Hamilton today against Mr. Free Steals

reddit (/r/nfl_draft) did a 5-round community draft that's worth checking out if you're the kind of degenerate that loves this kind of stuff: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ORbIDMbd-L7fTjDu5XHPNhwjdkPenEpbT4ys5ya-VqY/edit?pli=1#gid=932546680

then we have another top-25 position player prospect nbd
