    him examining every pick through the lens of "Knicks obsessive"

    all along Ivey seemed to me like the unrealistic, dream scenario for the Pistons, so i'm thrilled how it played out last night, now they can go get Bridges/Ayton and they'll be a really fun team

    spoiler alert: we absolutely don't

    for me it's mainly a Jed problem, the smartest guy in the room can't find enough fault with a .615 OPS player last 2 seasons running to cut bait, so why would i place blame squarely on guy who can't effectively bake with rancid milk
  6. sneakypower
    that looks like a 50-60° launch angle, how close are the RF fences lol
  7. sneakypower
    he looked like Nelson Cruz on that swing

    yeah Caissie has 40 games of full-season league abject suckitude and now 11 games of great production, but it's obviously getting out way over your skis to assume the latter is who he is truly if we see him hit the Bigs at any time next season that means he's hit like, his 90th percentile outcome
  9. sneakypower
    also he did mostly nothing the first series-plus in May (.465 ops) then after 5/9 off-day he's been on .395/.447/.698, 17 RBI in 12 games tear

    ..do i have Rowdy yet?

    Ortega running in quicksand on that flyball

    oh dear https://twitter.com/LakeCFC/status/1527384501789241344

    got to say i think i'm glad we landed him and not Joey Bart
  14. sneakypower
    cameraman tricked me into thinking that was a ground ball

    funny but probably meaningless that Harold Ramirez leads MLB in expected BA while Vargas already on the outs
  18. sneakypower
    if so, we'll always have the one time he visibly changed gears running:

    don't we want Marsch to thrive
  20. sneakypower
    to me this is kinda the same story with many of our hitting prospects, that have shown good raw power but also have struggled enough with Ks, consistency, positional value that you wonder if at their peak they'll be really too different from moderately productive players that aren't too highly valued by orgs like Franmil Reyes, Hunter Renfroe, Randall Grichuk, whatever, etc.
  21. sneakypower
    oh there'll be other excuses lol we have like.. 2 of these guys, one has back disease from whiffing too frequently and the other is a pitchability guy who's doing decent and can slot in as a typical #3-4 hey i just want Jed Hoyer fired and somebody brought in who can inspire any small level of confidence that there's anything worth carrying about in the somewhat even distant future, these are meager demands
  22. sneakypower
    sure these are all probably fair points, which is to say: we won't have to worry about Willson [glow=red]possibly being on a bad contract[/glow], because Yan Gomes will be a garbage starter there on the relative cheap :D same fortunate luxury we enjoy this season not having to worry about an expensive FA costing too many dollars because we only risked 4 mil on Andrelton Simmons, it's just good fiscal management =D>

    Contreras is 30. Since 2017, his first year as a full time member of the Cubs, he's third in PAs for catchers, behind Realmuto and Grandal (who both put up roughly twice as much value in that time frame, but I digress). He's been catching in the organization since 2009. I love the guy, though realistically we're talking about a guy who maxed out at 2.6 fWAR and was not Kyle Schwarber in terms of postseason awesomeness. But someone is going to give him 4-5 years, and it should not be us. well yes it's these 'thoughtful decisions' that have us a bottom-5 team if you build the whole team out of hopeful minor league retreads you won't have any bad contracts!
  24. sneakypower
    remind yourself that, next year's going to be even worse we have the best catcher in the game right now, whom the GM despises the idea of extending
  25. sneakypower
    Yes, you can change your lineup positions, but please clarify each transaction and change. I don't want to guess what you meant. ok please move Schwarber to LF (and Eloy to DH) then add Tellez for Eloy to be DH
