  1. It'd be fascinating and frustrating to construct a team there. I'd have to agree that this would seem like the most sensible approach. Related to Gray in Colorado, does anyone know if Coors has a measurable effect on velocity? i've linked to it before, but this is still the best study i've seen on the effects of Coors' thin air: http://wooden-feather.com/?p=33
  2. i had to bolt & couldn't catch the last 2 innings of today's game, but i feel comfortable blaming Castillo for the loss he had already seen three sliders a foot off the plate, one of which he swung at with a 2-1 count (rage) and he sees a 3rd straight slider in the same stupid location with a full count that he had in his mind the whole way he'd swing at regardless i wonder if the CBA expressly outlaws some kind of Pavlovian* shock therapy synced up with pitch f/x that goes off every time some of these guys flail haplessly at pitches out of the zone during 2-0, 3-1 counts; it just kills me *well, B.F. Skinner was actually the operant conditioning guy whereas Pavlov employed positive reinforcement but that might not be well-known enough for the reference to work
  3. Wood putting one on Waveland ranks pretty high up there for '13 Cubs moments so far
  4. Jeremy Hellickson gave up 8 runs and still registered a win
  5. i don't think there's many other prospects who've seen their stock drop quite as much as Baez's has this season
  6. http://www.snarkysweetgossip.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/sobbing.gif
  7. and now looms Bobby Parnell, with a 1.04/0.75 seasonal line balls
  8. before that AB, Castro was up to .322 OBP; not great, but he'd been in the .290s just a few days ago
  9. haha, awesome for those not watching: Edwin kind of incidentally kicks the ball up to himself, Len calls it "rezorceful"
  10. Miles says it's a hit and an error. well then, nevermind!
  11. that Soriano GB should have been a base hit and an error they did that to Castro a couple weeks ago, he ranged several steps to the right of 2B and bobbled the ball in the transition and they gave him an error; really irritating
  12. Rizzo effortlessly flipping a double to left *blows kisses at the TV*
  13. http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/400x/37895731.jpg
  14. Tigers demoted Al Alburquerque, with a 2.32 FIP
  15. Heat are 45-3 in their last 48 games what a fun league to follow
  16. i'd actually love a thread dedicated to blowing kisses at Rizzo
