  1. Luckily the ball doesn't seem to be carrying much today.
  2. He had legitimately good numbers in the minors, so if he does well it's not ridiculous. Unlike Piscotty and Grichuk, he's actually performing well without a sky-high BABIP, too. Piscotty and Grichuk were/are legitimate prospects, they're playing above their expected level but they aren't nobodies. Pham is Bryan LaHair. Yeah, I didn't mean to imply that the latter two weren't real players, just that their success isn't to this point dependent on a ludicrous BABIP.
  3. I've been watching their last series against the Rangers, and I still feel the hate for the Astros. I love watching them crash and burn. I got an irrational annoyance out of watching them lead their division after tanking more blatantly than us and screwing up their draft picks so royally, so I'm totally ok with them dropping out.

  5. I didn't want this post to be prescient, dammit
  6. Oy, don't want to give them extra outs with Haren pitching.
  7. Let's hope the wind knocks down some fly balls so that 4th run not scoring doesn't matter.
  8. Not if the Cubs can get 2 out of 3 this series. Even if we do that, they still clinch if whoever's next on the elimination totem pole loses a game.
  9. Yeah, if Arrieta is my #1 surprise, then Schwarber is #2, how [expletive] awesome Bryant is at all the non-hitting aspects of baseball has probably been #3.
  10. There's a wide gulf between 'very good' and 'legitimate argument to be considered the best starting pitcher in all of baseball this year'. I expected him to be good, I did not expect him to be silly-dominant.
  11. TLS in front of Montero? Ok, then. I guess Bryzzo were going to get days off at some point, but I'd rather them not come against STL.
  12. I see St. Louis is wasting no time putting to bed the idea of being 3 out at the end of the weekend.
  13. Schwarber was and is a stunner, and Russell was at the time, but the #1 surprise for me has to be what Arrieta has done. He's been unbelievable.
  14. The remote is going to get a workout Saturday night.
  15. The way Bryant hustles is just so [expletive] awesome
  16. Schwarbs got lifted for defense that was Denorfia
  17. He did pretty darned good work today, actually. I'll give him a pass because he likely didn't look at the box score, but yeah, Richard was terrific. Grimm, on the other hand
  18. Even though the latter is unlikely, it's crazy that we could still potentially top 2008. Probably in large part because of how shitty we've been since then, I've built that team up in my head to be even more of an unstoppable dong-crushing monstrosity than they were, and this team is in the same stratosphere. So wild.
  19. This offense is so [expletive] sexy it's insane
  20. That Rizzo bomb was ridiculous. Not even a strike. Awesome.
  21. I don't love that Hendricks is struggling, but as regular-season games go, this one's pretty important as it could set us up to potentially surpass the Pirates next weekend. If Joe wants to go for it, with expanded rosters, let's do it.
  22. Schwarber has been striking out a bunch it seems like. Not particularly concerning, but would be nice if he got red hot again.
  23. We do have three good pitchers. We only have two great ones. I guess I should say 3 pitchers we had reason to feel confident in against playoff lineups. Hendricks scares me, even when he's pitching well it's just so hard for a guy without intimidating stuff to sustain.
