  2. nice ending to this one, with Croatia scoring 87' to pull ahead of Spain then amusingly trying to waste as much time as possible with various substitutions and staged confusion
  3. my hopes have just been 'not-Beef-Castillo-bad' so any data point that allays that fear is a welcome one
  4. statcorner thought he had a good game oddly he lost several strikes but also added a bunch, for +2 strike calls total...but as i said before i think that ump was either screwy with his zone or plain bad
  5. Willson Contreras, 24, fits into the same category as the team's catcher of the future, and even Albert Almora Jr., 22, might border on untouchable -- he figures to be the center fielder next season if Dexter Fowler departs as a free agent. well i'll be damned
  6. i like how we're living in dying with every borderline call like it's revelatory when this ump is probably just mostly clueless about the strike zone
  7. let's just make a SEC Crime Excuses megathread
  8. Jeimer has a .800 OPS with great peripherals, in the last full year despite being super young...if he's a true 3B, that's probably a top 75-100 prospect in his own right for a FO that values players like ours does, and shits on the Nick Williamses of the world
  9. yeah Diaz is basically Starlin Castro but not as fun
  10. i'm going to start calling Aledmys Diaz the Challenger Space Shuttle
  11. Odubel Herrera is like a 5-win player now, Aledmys Diaz is hitting .300 and Willson Contreras is a clear star in the making, so it's hard to confidently shovel dirt on any player with talent a team publicly gives up on
  12. Doolittle is the dream because we know Beane seems to favor a quantity-over-quality approach to trades where we can surrender less star power and give up more player control to A's is it crazy to think he might take Candelario, Clifton, Vogelbach? i don't think so
  13. Good God, yes. you know that if you had your druthers half the guys who donged yesterday wouldn't even be here
  14. in the past calendar year, Francisco Lindor has 7.4 fWAR, tying him with Bryce Harper for 4th in MLB during that span also, Kershaw has a full 11 wins in that time...'99 Pedro was 11.6 fWAR
  15. 73 don't mean a thing without the ring
  16. and the Rangers have had replacement level production at the two easiest spots to fill, and possibly the best hitting prospect in the minors, MLB-ready who can play either spot
  17. did he post that upon seeing Freese and Jaso listed at the corners
  18. Did You Walk Javier Baez? ---> Yes ---> Immediately Retire
  19. yeah this is my thought; he needs framing as much as anybody, but he should be a really easy pitcher to do that with
