    It's about avoiding a double play and hopefully adding the pressure of avoiding a wild pitch for the next hitter. Then bunt with Nate, who sucks, and at least create the possibility of a sac fly. I'm not against bunting, but with 1 out the benefits are minimal. If you're bunting with Schierholtz, the only possibility of a sac fly is with Arrieta at the plate. The bunt was not about moving runners, it's about making sure Arrieta doesn't kill the inning with a double play. Arrieta didn't have to hit. Isn't Baker still available? (I realize I'm killing my point by defending Baker as an MLB hitter.)

    So after you let dog [expletive] Nate hit, NOW you want to bunt when it's not really going to do any good? Ugh.

    Well, my friends, the time has come. To raise the roof, and have some fun.

    This Bud Light Rita guy might or might not be but definitely is Satan.

    Sega. No real reason other than that's what everyone else I knew with video game systems seemed to have. I got one of my own for my 10th birthday and was pretty much obsessed with it for a while there.

    People keep talking about his stuff but all I ever see is line shots all over the park. He's good enough to be an MLB pitcher, I guess, but I don't see anything in his stuff I like more than any other pitcher in the rotation.

    I vacillate between whether it's aggravating or hilarious to watch Edwin pitch every 3 days.
  9. Andy
    LOL he is so bad.

    I love when people talk about this as if A) it's such a bad thing to win 85 games and be in contention most of (if not all of) the season, and B) that you can just know when you put your team together how many wins it's going to get. The Cubs are probably better off now than they would've been if they'd tried harder to not be terrible the last two years, but that doesn't mean we need to speak with such disdain about having winning seasons.

    It's a pointless exercise, because the Cubs are not trading for Price. At the price he'd command right now I wouldn't want to.

    I kinda want a Brewers/Angels World Series. A's/Braves, please. A's/Giants would be pretty cool. Save STL making it, I'm hard-pressed to come up with a feasible WS matchup I wouldn't like.
  13. Andy
    Why? Yeah we can sign him in the off-season. Why bother now?
  14. Andy
    Yes, and I should've included B1G in that too, although as everyone knows they're moving to 9 in a couple of years.

    Fire Theo if we didn't get Joc Pederson for him

    Jimbo Fisher is spouting the usual nonsense about how conferences that don't play a league title game (i.e. the Big 12) are dodging an "opportunity to lose, get injured". The irony that only 2 ACC (and SEC) schools play 9 league games while all 10 Big 12 teams play 9 is apparently lost on him.

    We have terrible players for the most part which is why they tend to not perform well in the clutch.

    It is so [expletive] sweet to see Baez is going super-Javy on AAA like he did on AA last year

    Pretty sure it's something Bonifacio brought in. Don't know what it really means though. Here it is: http://joefrisaro.mlblogs.com/2012/05/10/lo-viste-creates-waves-in-houston/ I thought it was Valbuena.

    You are asking if people will voice complaints about the team when they are good? People complained when the team was good during the Jim Hendry era, fwiw. Unless they reel off a few 100 win juggernaut type seasons there will be stuff to complain about. So, not sure if that's what you want to hear or not. I think he meant specifically if people will be whining about The Plan when/if we're good, and if that is what he meant I'd venture to say that won't be happening. Because if we're good we'll be talking about things happening on the field for the most part.

    Whether its with us or with someone else, I'd lay money he has at least 1 40 HR major league season in him. I hope you're getting good odds. It's really [expletive] hard to hit 40 homers in one season. A ton of awesome current players haven't done it.
  22. Andy
    I'd venture to say Baez hitting 32 is not reasonable. I'd be thrilled if he ever hit 30 in one season.
  23. Andy
    LOL that was not a strike at all
  24. Andy
    Their hitting him last AB is the difference in the game at the moment. As long as they stay away from his head/wrist/elbow, it's their funeral as far as I'm concerned.
