  1. He came off the IL like 2-3 weeks ago and he missed all that time in 2018 or 2019 with the concussion he got trying to rob Fowler’s walk off dong vs us when he actually was hitting well. He also got IL'd in 16 after making the greatest catch I've ever seen unfold as it happened in SF.
  2. I'm an idiot. Do we think something nefarious could increase a player's barrel rate? It seems like that's cheat proof but we've learned pretty much nothing is
  3. Trending toward ND vs A&M in an elimination game Tuesday
  4. It’s only baseball so I wouldn’t expect anything like that. Now in 2025 when Texas returns to Kyle Field all bets are off. For that one I may be in the Texas family section too. My best friend’s kid is dying to play there and I think he’s got a real shot. That would be so weird for me. Might be sooner than 2025. I’m hearing it could be as early as 2023 that OU and UT join the SEC. They’re trying to legally wiggle out of their BigXII contract and some speculate that could be accomplished this year. Interesting. I would have thought between the CFP not expanding as both sides assumed it would when this move was being discussed (for UT and OU) and the new SEC TV deal not kicking in until 2024-25 (for the SEC) that both parties would be alright waiting it out for now. But you can't put a price on the awkward factor I guess.
  5. If you're willing to walk a bit (15 minutes or so), once you get north of the Clark & Southport intersection, you can legally park on the street next to the cemetery without paying.
  6. If this dreck was the best Jed could do then he definitely should've abandoned all pretense and not pretended to try with the Seiya and Stroman signings
  7. Good lord these guys are terrible.
  8. Oh hey look I've had Tatis in my lineup all year and he's been injured, way to go moron I'm moving Bo Bichette from DH to SS, dropping Tatis and replacing him with DH Shohei Ohtani, and dropping Albies for Jose Altuve. Money should be neutral on both transactions.
  9. Wick came in and immediately dumped a big Howry all over this game
  10. Yan just took Yu deep.
  11. I don't follow college baseball closely to earn ND fan bona fides but that was a really fun series. Better enjoy it while it's there because FSU fired their coach and ND's coach played at FSU and lives in Tallahassee.
  12. I think they strike out less (anecdotal but I've heard it mentioned on broadcasts) but the weird thing about having significantly worse players on offense is that it doesn't horsefeathering matter if you make contact or not.
  13. Honest to God that single transaction might make me doubt Hoyer more so than anything else he's done. That signing was stupid and pointless from the jump and never had a chance to be even remotely decent.
  14. It's absolutely incredible that no matter what the hell this franchise does they suck with RISP. You'd think just by dumb luck they'd hit decently in that position once or twice. As I recall they were merely middling and not terrible in 2016 but basically every other year it's been a catastrophe.
  15. We clearly did not soak in the 2003 series win at Wrigley enough
  16. What a frustrating decision. Clint Frazier is likely never going to do much of anything but there are several completely useless players on the 40-man who could've been dumped instead. Even if you didn't want this to be the moment you got rid of Heyward, Andrelton Simmons comes immediately to mind.
  17. Do people actually browse the forum by going into individual subforums? They shouldn't, but you do have to go to the main page to mark all forums read, so you'd still be subjected to that headline on occasion.
  18. Not sure where to put this but reports are that Contreras and the Cubs settled at the midpoint between their arbitration figures to dodge the hearing that was set for today.
  19. The Cubs destroyed the league for 2 1/2 months in 2016, went 5-15 and people* were freaking out. *No judgement on anyone as, without going back and looking, it's entirely possible I was one of those people. I openly mused to friends during that stretch that I might be a monster for raising my then-unborn son a Cubs fan (he couldn't give less of a crap about baseball or any sport as a spectator, so this probably won't end up being a thing), which qualifies as the most insane sports-fan overreaction of my entire life.
  20. Good God Schwindel. At least 1 run directly pinned on his frying pan at first base
  21. How many times have you rounded 3rd base in your life, Sosa? At least like 3,000, right? That's an unreal blunder. Please win now and make it look worse
