Holy crap that ball was smoked -
I'll do one. Or hopefully more.
-
I'm certain of the first names of four people in that starting lineup. My God.
-
After the most dominating pennant clincher in history plus being the shoulda-been-winning-pitcher in Game 7 of the World Series, yeah, he can have whatever he wants.

Single most unstoppable offensive weapon in football history, IMHO. Jim Brown existed. As did Jerry Rice It was at least physically possible to stop those guys. Nobody did, but it wasn't because it was physically impossible as with Gronk.

Just wait until that new TV deal kicks in, though. /s

I was very confused by the whole thing. None of the apps made note of it being a regular season game, its just next to all the spring training games. I get the reasoning and know this isn't that unique, but 2 weeks before everybody else starts is new, no? I feel like this has happened before, like within the last 5 or 6 years. It's more like a week before, right? Dodgers and D-Backs played in Australia before Opening Day just a couple years ago.

Overall he got a 13+ WAR career boost. He went from 15.something to nearly 30. Yep, among the biggest increasesI'm not here to trash framing stats, but it is really hard for me to believe it's so important that it makes Miguel Montero almost literally twice as good a baseball player as he was considered before it was included. I also saw that Ryan Doumit's single-season WAR total in 2008 plunged from nearly 3 to -2.5 with framing included. That seems like quite a leap.

That Eloy Jiminez contract is a thing (6/43 with 2 options)
Andy replied to Brian's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
No kidding. If they thought this was close, and I assume they had an inkling at least that it was, why did they option him? -
Hendricks, probably Contreras If Contreras' agent had advised him to sign any extension with his value at its low point since arriving in MLB, I would hope he would be fired for malpractice.

This team deserves to have great players go to their direct competition after the horsecrap penny-pinching garbage this offseason.

MVP had some terrific music. I have almost all the songs from the 3 years of those games.
-
There is absolutely no way Self is coaching the Bulls next year
-
That's actually a good question and I would agree with your position. I suspect with the 3-batter minimum, such occurrences will be lessened. There were actually a couple Tweets over the last few hours about how one-batter appearances have declined in recent years, which kind of underscores (IMO) that the rule change isn't really necessary.
-
I haven't had time to dive into a lot of this yet, but the "top 10 comebacks of the Maddon era" video was terrific and I'm looking forward to watching more of this stuff.
-
Just to make sure I say something positive, I like pitcher maximums. There were too damn many pitchers on rosters. It used to be 12-man staffs seemed excessive and the Cubs were carrying 14 at times the last few years, which is dumb. That said, three-batter minimum is complete horsefeathers. I don't like changing the rules just because people were getting good at maximizing benefit from it, which is pretty much what this comes down to. I understand the game flow thing. I just disagree with this in a big way. I'd rather see the NL DH than this, and I've gotten into angry arguments with people here about the DH.
-
Z took Buehrle deep twice in a game once, 06 I think. That was fun.
-
Chatwood just struck out 2 then got Lamb on a 4-3 groundout, he is fixed, polish the Cy Young
-
all i remember is i got a small upset win in one round and then rawaction slaughtered me I won in round one and lost in round two, no idea who against. I know that was a terrible idea and laden with stupidity but that horsefeathers was fun.
-
Brenly isn't a great baseball analyst but he was a lot of fun with Len.
-
Yeah, in a world where Pujols is still getting paid until he's like 42, having Bryce signed to age 39 isn't going to ruffle feathers. The most interesting thing to come out of the last day-plus's reporting to me is that the Nationals' supposed $300M offer from right after the season was basically a scam operation by their front office, with deferrals all the way until Harper would turn 60.
-
Supposedly 4/180, and while tempting I don't blame him for not taking it. The way things are going I doubt he'd have made 150M after those 4 years.
-
i find it hard to hate jaxon that much for his performance because of how bad most of those teams were. I freely admit I was probably directing some of my general hatred of our suckiness at Jackson. There was nothing rational about it.
