    enjoy reading tom's thoughts in this thread "hm this team is looking to build for the future, let's trade them for a rental and uh, poach their future while we're at it"

    this one always comes to mind; not a lot of opportunities to see a 3B need to hurdle the 1B https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMh1Zp8ETPc&feature=youtu.be

    this seems fairly specific
  5. sneakypower
    Sosa, Grace, Dawson, Hendricks, Castro, Contreras, Wood, Rizzo, Zambrano Sosa probably wins out
  6. sneakypower
    easy over
  7. sneakypower
    how i read the bolded

    David Ortiz played the 'snitches' card with Fiers, too, so horsefeathers him. david ortiz IS jessica mendoza!

    Carter, Bamba & Mikal Bridges have outstanding defensive PIPM so it's conceivable defense wasn't really favored much on this
  10. sneakypower
    they are drinking our milkshake huh
  11. sneakypower
    Bryant hasn't reached 5 fWAR his last 2 seasons Arenado hasn't dropped below 5 his last 4 seasons Nolan much safer bet here
  12. sneakypower
    he was winning fine until he lost his most indispensable player, and there's been some bad breaks in close games going the other way; it happens, i'm really not remotely worried about the long-term forecast at this point

    Pitchers don't suck at hitting because they don't work on it enough, they suck at it because hitting his hard and pitching gets better and better. Scrappy McJunkball could scratch out a hit or two against the scrubs that pitched in yesteryear, not because he put in the time and effort. also the league differences probably play a part in this- why really bother hitting practice as an AL pitcher? then if you happen move to the NL are a total horsefeathers show out there; Garza, Lester, Quintana no reason whatsoever to have different rules for AL/NL

    still struggling to understand what this means exactly
  15. sneakypower
    assuming robot umps follow suit (spiking C offense) and especially knowing Manfred has given a green light to continual tech-driven cheating there's going to be offensive records obliterated routinely

    Brad Underwood has the most angry dad energy of anybody i can think of
  17. sneakypower
    #4 & #5 to me meant basically you can't put full-time players on the bench, otherwise it's less interesting imo

    ok here goes nothing: 2B Eric Young (2000) 3B Kris Bryant (2016) 1B Derrek Lee (2005) RF Sammy Sosa (2001) LF Alfonso Soriano (2007) SS Javier Baez (2018) CF Corey Patterson (2004) C Willson Contreras (2017) BEN-C Dioner Navarro (2013) BEN-IF Mark Bellhorn (2002) BEN-IF Tyler Houston (1996) BEN-OF Nick Castellanos (2019) BEN-OF Emilio Bonifacio (2014) SP Jake Arrieta (2015) SP Mark Prior (2003) SP Kerry Wood (1998) SP Carlos Zambrano (2006) SP Jon Lieber (1999) SP Rich Harden (2008) RP Angel Guzman (2009) RP James Russell (2012) RP Bob Patterson (1997) RP Sean Marshall (2011) RP Carlos Marmol (2010) CL Randy Myers (1995) '96, '97, '99, '09, '11, '13 were absolute unmitigated dog horsefeathers, for this sorry to Anthony Rizzo, Aramis Ramirez, Kyle Hendricks, Pedro Strop, Starlin Castro, Mark Grace, Geovany Soto who just overlapped with other greatness; no hard feelings
  19. sneakypower
    saw somebody suggest Bangghazi which was pretty good
  20. sneakypower
    i enjoyed Mendoza's commentary on ESPN but her worst characteristic was trying to co-opt red-ass viewpoints to earn her insider credibility and this is a real bad case of it
  21. sneakypower
    i can't get worked up about the pen; last winter i wanted us to pursue Andrew Miller/Joe Kelly/Kimbrel and they all sucked so i let Theo sort it out and if it sucks judge Theo harshly for it
  22. sneakypower
    did you include Brad Brach there to be funny
  23. sneakypower
    Ryno top-10 all-timer at his position, so yeah i'll choose him
  24. sneakypower

  25. sneakypower
