    Not saying Addison Russell will end up better than Barry Larkin, but Larkin was 24 by the time he had as many career fWAR as Russell already does at 22.

    Don't understand the warnings. This ump is a tool.

    Unless it's some Hall of Famer's milestone HR, it really doesn't matter, though I don't begrudge someone wanting to keep it. You can probably find someone around with a spare ball to throw back if it comes to that.

    Heyward is putting some nice swings on lately without a lot of reward
  5. Andy
    Edmonds was awesome, though. His bat flip at the STL dugout alone redeemed him for me.

    Yesterday was dumb. Pittsburgh must pay for this dumbness with pain. Lots of pain. And dongs.
  7. Andy
    And for this game
  8. Andy
    Heyward has been bad at the plate but he really can't seem to catch a break either.
  9. Andy
    Or of how I think everything is dumb. One or the other
  10. Andy
    The thing about this team is that it seems like almost every time they lose it feels like a dumb loss. Just a sign of how good we are.
  11. Andy
    Well, this one could get out of hand
  12. Andy
    I don't think we had one in 08 but we did have a 14-game home win streak.

    Just have to do it in front of their stupid faces, I guess

    Been a while since we had one of those 'the wind knocks down our flyballs but not the opponent's' games.

    In Chicago, out standards for pizza are a little bit high. In most of the country, Papa Johns and Domino's is all they have. How sad is that? If a town is big enough for a Papa Johns or a Domino's, they have some kind of mom and pop pizza in town that's better. I'm quite familiar with plenty of podunk central Illinois towns and their pizza availability. This is true. There are two mom and pop pizza places in my little 8,000-population town, plus a place 20 miles south that makes a legitimately pretty good deep dish.

    Federowicz showing off the muscle too, because why not

    Wonder if Soler swings at that 2nd pitch if not for the "Soler strike" call on the first.
  18. Andy
    Grandpa Rossy gave that one a heck of a ride.

    I thoroughly enjoyed him repeatedly going to lefties to face Rizzo in the playoffs last year in the face of every statistical indicator that it was a stupid idea. I'd still rather have him face a lefty if I were the opposition. The problem is that Siegrist is pretty terrible vs. lefties Yeah, if you have a good lefty, definitely, but a lefty for the sake of a lefty will end badly against Rizzo.

    just realized not only did this not jinx someone, but it has reversed counter jinxed Schwarber, who was absent from this picture for some reason I suppose they could've put him in there, but they sure weren't taking out either of our 2 greatest dongsmiths, stupidly good Cy Young pitcher, or fresh shiny free agent pickup in favor of him.

    HR/FB ratios are not crazy predictive. Soler's has a decent chance of going up, especially when the wind blows out.
  22. Andy
    In Matheny's years as manager he's benefited tremendously from the groundwork laid before him, but he is an awful on field manager. His apparent obstinance in the face of common sense is Dusty-esque. I thoroughly enjoyed him repeatedly going to lefties to face Rizzo in the playoffs last year in the face of every statistical indicator that it was a stupid idea.

    I thought that was SI's answer to falling circulation. Haven't they been doing regional covers for decade now? Almost every week has regional covers these days. This week's main cover is an exclusive interview with Vin Scully.
  24. Andy
    If anything, I think my eye test overrates Bryant. I feel like he does pretty much everything great over at third.
  25. Andy
    I'm not going to complain about that awesome cover, but it's pretty much exactly the same view as the one they ran last year with Bryant. Would think they'd have wanted a slightly different photo.
