He's such a big dude, it seems unfathomable that he would be such a pierre at a plate for so long. Are we supposed to be upset if he's in our Opening Day lineup next year? I've got no clue what to think about him. assuming a tight budget, i'm actually fine with Sweeney & Lake starting provided we can sign Tanaka or do something exciting with the other monies freed up -
PROPOSED RULE CHANGE: chess rules- if you concede a matchup you automatically lose the matchup, i don't think i can handle another season of you whiny fucks falling over each other to be the first to declare your hopes dead on a weekly basis

in his podcast he called Jonathan Gray and Eddie Butler future relievers; there's seemingly like 4 pitching prospects he sees as actual future starters
-
they had (iirc) 54 plays in the first half and built a 26-7 lead off their fast-paced hurry-up offense; it's not just a typical ESPN fabricated storyline, seeing how Chip Kelly's offense translates to the NFL is an actual thing of real intrigue man, i can only imagine your guys' disdain right now if you had followed Chris Brown/SmartFootball on twitter
-
so, is Ryan Sweeney: Power Hitter a real thing?
-
this is how you execute a block

jamie mac @justcoverblog 17h Since Devin Gardner became starting QB, Michigan is 29/29 in the red zone chance w/ 25 TDs. That's 6.44 points per trip
-
ok i guess that makes up for that [expletive] bounce on their first TD
-
well that was quite possibly the worst thing i've ever seen in my whole entire life
-
it just hit me that Rees looks like [expletive] Break from American Pie
-
purple face time!
-
Tom Harmon to Desmond Howard, just like the good ole days!
-
[expletive] awesome

fangraphs has higher threshold for replacement level, i think (but there had been talk about standardizing this); his (ERA-based) RA9-WAR is 5.4, good for 5th in baseball i'm not crazy about prioritizing FIP over ERA for pitchers, unless you're trying to better account for a spectacularly shitty/fantastic defensive team; i just think it's foolish to completely dismiss the skill of missing barrels

David Wilson

Pedro over The Rocket, or even Boggs, seems a little crazy to me

yeah, score one for Keith Law, i guess -
thanks everybody for making me even happier to live in MI
-
Lake's current line: .301/.344/.448
-
also he's induced more swinging strikes than Edwin Jackson or Garza, if you can believe it
-
if that's the case i'll take Bluiett

Alcantara is so weird to me; i understand batting eye taking a little time to develop, but in A-ball he played like he didn't possess any tools at all either just two years ago: 19 2B, 5 HR & 15 SB in 160 games at A & A- now he's on pace for 43/18/37 at AA and getting Reyes/Rollins comps -
for some sick, twisted reason i actually look forward to Rusin starts now i threw this in the game thread his last start, but the point remains; we might actually have something here Rusin 2.64 ERA / 3.82 FIP / 4.19 xFIP .281 BABIP, 47% GB, 8.9% HR:FB 8.8% swinging Strikes Wood 3.09 ERA / 3.83 FIP / 4.45 xFIP .238 BABIP, 33% GB, 7.4% HR:FB 7.4% swinging strikes full stats

neither have announcers', it seems; Collinsworth somehow thinks 18 points is a 2-score game
