  1. Sadly, the Cubs pitchers are also making every at bat feel like a grind. Yeah, my way too early takeaway from this team is that the offense looks capable of taking us to October by itself, but how in the world do you win a playoff series with Lester/Hendricks/who the hell knows as your playoff rotation?
  2. It's his son's favorite song is the reason I saw. (It's one of my son's favorites too, but I sure as hell wouldn't use it as a walkup song)
  3. The clear move for Manfred is to let the Cubs out of Darvish's contract in the name of pace of play
  4. My feed said it happened on 4 pitches. Probably a glitch. At least 1 of the pitches (the last one) was a strike, too. Offense looks good again. Cut down on the freaking pitch count, Yu, and we'll have something
  5. One upshot about opening last season in Miami was we didn't have one. I wouldn't want a domed home stadium, but there are times I see the appeal.
  6. The jet stream to right center is crazy. KB seemed like he got more of his flyout in the 1st.
  7. I'll do one. Or hopefully more.
  8. I'm certain of the first names of four people in that starting lineup. My God.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Single most unstoppable offensive weapon in football history, IMHO.
  12. Just wait until that new TV deal kicks in, though. /s
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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?
  16. 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.
  17. This team deserves to have great players go to their direct competition after the horsecrap penny-pinching garbage this offseason.
  18. C - Yasmani Grandal $75 1B - Paul Goldschmidt $100 2B - Javy Baez $100 SS - Alex Bregman $100 3B - Matt Chapman $75 OF - Aaron Judge $75 OF - Bryce Harper $100 OF - Mike Trout $200 OF - Mookie Betts $100 DH - Cody Bellinger $75 Sending bench players
  19. MVP had some terrific music. I have almost all the songs from the 3 years of those games.
  20. There is absolutely no way Self is coaching the Bulls next year
