    And of course, the Cubs have to couple a decidedly logical move with a ridiculous one. SSR is probably right about the defensive replacement thing.

    Was just discussing this with my friend last weekend when we were at Wrigley. Glad the Cubs are doing this. It's not optimal, but Schwarber has become our best option, and the only move then is to get him here even if we'd prefer he work on his catching in a lower-pressure environment.

    Great article. The race to declare any sporting event that doesn't affect that year's championship, in any sport, as 'meaningless' has always bugged me.
  4. Andy
    I have the same feeling.

    I had forgotten about Byrd, or that he was even an All-Star. That was pretty cool.
  6. Andy
    None of those last 3 you posted, that's for damn sure. Len's call of Aramis' Brewers walk-off was pretty terrific.
  7. Andy
    Also, good for the NL, but why the hell did it have to be Peralta on a delightfully STL like hit?
  8. Andy
    It seems like it's been a long time since a Cub has really done anything relevant in an All-Star Game. Off the top of my head, Soriano homering way back in 07 is the last big thing anyone did.

    It's dumb that the ASG decides WS home field, but it was reallllly [expletive] dumb that it just switched between the leagues before.
  10. Andy
    There are already multiple cities that really ought not to have teams. Not sure adding more is the best plan.

    Also, even though it's not after the All-Star Game yet, I'm burning both my post-ASG transactions now, too. Drop Matt Adams, add Carlos Gonzalez (I'm almost certain I will regret picking CarGo over other options) Drop Stanton, add Trout
  12. Andy
    I'm going to risk it and switch to Joc too.

    They would've cost us Kris Bryant
  14. Andy
    I was going to post exactly this. Bryant is hitting the [expletive] out of everything good, but he's not getting much good.
  15. Andy
    It's pretty much irrelevant to those, like me, that prefer the NL style. No pitcher is ever going to bat in an All-Star Game as it's currently played anyway, so this makes it easier for the managers to execute the real purpose of the game, to get as many players on the field as possible for as long as possible.
  16. Andy
    Oh, good, the DH debate again. We don't do this enough.
  17. Andy
    Gets the DH spot. [tweet] [/tweet]

    We're not getting Bryzzo in the finals, largely because the world is simply not ready for that much sexiness at one time.
  19. Andy
    We're down 8 games, and due for some major performance upticks. I don't think this is over yet.
  20. Andy
    There's a lot to be concerned about, but we're a playoff team at the break and that's really [expletive] cool after the garbage of the last 5 seasons.
  21. Andy
    Arrieta looks terrific.
  22. Andy
    With several BFIB advocating throwing at his head for daring to celebrate a huge win over a division rival
  23. Andy
    This is probably a net positive for us anyway, but STL tried to bunt in the 10th with Mark [expletive] Reynolds. After he got Molina thrown out at first when that inevitably failed, he hits a [expletive] can of corn that somehow goes out for his 2nd homer of the game.
  24. Andy
    I love that Ventura is still going to the lefty. We couldn't score 4 in this inning if we had 27 more outs, but sure, burn the lefty.
  25. Andy
    Honest to God, him at 2nd and Russell at SS can't really be any worse. Not a big downgrade on defense either I don't think.
