    Straily 6 shutout innings tonight.

    He's successfully adjusted enough times in his career that it would be a big surprise and a big disappointment to me if he can't do so in MLB.
  3. Andy
    Yes - the other four are all pitching in this Milwaukee series.

    Soler came into today with a 1.235 OPS across his three levels, 1.131 in Iowa. Also, he's 22.

    JD wasn't kidding, if Baez had been really on that he would've sent it to Sheffield. Good knock though.

    Great AB by Javy
  7. Andy
    Exactly. The games are already bloated with dead time. There's no point in adding anymore when you basically gain nothing because most calls are either moot to the outcome or inconclusive on replay or both. I'm willing to endure the occasional waste of four minutes if it allows for the obviously incorrect call to be overturnable whenever it does occur. It doesn't need to be both. If there were a hard 45-second limit on video before it automatically cuts out, obvious calls are overturned and non-obvious ones aren't. The current system blows.

    Oh look, Edwin saved his blow-up for the 6th.
  9. Andy
    That was a strange AB from Javy.

    The DH is the functional equivalent of moving the ball to halfcourt in the last two minutes of NBA games. Its rationale is "because excitement".

    Ryan Sweeney makes him look like a genius! I still hate it. Oh, putting the game in the hands of Ryan Sweeney and John Baker is supremely dumb, I agree.

    Tomorrow he'll get two hits, including a homer, and won't K and it'll all be fine.

    Not sure where to put this, but the judge hearing the O'Bannon case ruled against the NCAA today. However, her injunction doesn't sound all that 'damaging' to the current system. All of this is, of course, pending appeals, but this all seems very reasonable to me.

    To protect the cable channel. If you're blacked out of the Rays it doesn't matter where they're playing.

    this stuff is good. I just read the comment where he said his average in the minors for his career was .250 (actually .278) and OBP was .300 (actually .336). Also no one mentions that he was one of if not the youngest player in all of those leagues and is now the youngest player in the major leagues. Well, 2nd-youngest behind Rougned Odor, but he's the youngest in the NL.
  17. Andy
    Yeah Jesse Rogers was on the radio earlier and said this was the first time since spring training he saw Theo, Jed, and Mcleod all down on the field watching BP at the same time. That's a clear sign Javier Baez is about to be called up.

    2015 Rotation

    Andy replied to Tim's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    If I had to make a pick I'd go with this as well, though I wouldn't be surprised to see one of the Jaxons in the FA spot.

    Dave Cameron is the worst at everything. "Herp, derp, since 2011 for a 23-year-old pitcher." IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE IDEA WERE TO GET HIM WITH A PITCHING COACH WHO SPECIALIZES IN HELPING PITCHERS WITH OFF-HAND HITTERS AND HAPPENS TO CHAMPION THE REPERTOIRE THAT TURNER ALREADY POSSESSES Sorry, not quite done with this yet. DID YOU KNOW: Who else has a horrible K%-BB% against LHP from 2011-2013? JASON HAMMEL. Arrieta was a good bit below average too, to say nothing of the players who managed to overcome that deathstroke and be good during that time frame(I'm looking at you, Lynn, Masterson, and Eovaldi). Irritated TT is so excellent.

    I would prefer he does this for the MLB club like right now. He's a Boras client, so he's my sole exception to the usual impatient, want-the-guy-up-now thing. May as well keep him down until late next April and get that extra year.
  21. Andy
    That was my thought seeing it on replay. He just has ridiculous power.
  22. Andy
    Anyone care to do a compilation of the best?
  23. Andy
    I'm assuming this is a joke but his ball wasn't technically in play as it was a foulout. Do foul balls not count on BABIP? Pretty sure they do. Honestly, I have no idea.

    The good news is the only number he'd be likely to switch to would be 12 (worn through most of the minors), and it's currently taken. The bad news is it's by John Baker. Personally, I'll probably wait until next April to grab one to make sure he doesn't switch. It's not like I wear a ton of Cubs stuff during the off-season anyway.
