    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.

    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 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.

    If anything, I think my eye test overrates Bryant. I feel like he does pretty much everything great over at third.

    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.

    To put it simply, if we lose a game to Pittsburgh this coming weekend because they BABIP us to death or if Javy makes some incredibly fluky error, we're still going to win the division. If we lose a game to them like that in the NLDS, we then have to beat them 3 out of 4. The playoffs are a crapshoot. Always.

    That was Bryce's swear jar for all the times he says "horsefeathers, I can't believe he's batting that corpse Zimmerman behind me again".

    That's a good question. I imagine there would be something on a foul pole at least the year following the title.

    Yeah next off day is Thursday. Coming off a high energy 4 game weekend series with an extra innings ending, they could use a little rest. The Padres aren't off Thursday, so it could be interesting trying to make the game up if it does not happen.

    I know a Mets fan who is a complete meatball and 100% believes that isn't true. Luckily, I don't know him well.

    Rondon might, might, get a save chance today.

    I think he may be making fun of Dan Shaughnessy and his UConn women's basketball tweet.

    No, Lackey got one early. Haha, because of course Lackey is the one righty to get a hit today.

    This is just so much horsefeathering fun

    I was going to say something to this effect. Man, Zobrist's power stroke is on point this week

    Yeah, it's a weird choice, but a great song. Ross's is probably the most apt. Think he'll switch to Queen's Who Wants to Live Forever later in the season? That would be cool, but he seems pretty attached to his current one. I think he's the only player that hasn't changed it once.
  21. Andy
    He's seriously amazing

    Lackey's wife donated to several charitable causes.

    Didn't Murphy exhaust his 'XBH vs Cubs' quota yet?
  24. Andy
    So what song is it then that Rizzo used there? I thought that was Starlin's old song. (Carrying over from last night)

    He's calling you racist. There are those for whom it's not a good day until they've called something or someone racist.
