  1. Time to bring it back, new and improved: [dropshadow=blue]The Kris Bryant Games Without a Dong-o-Meter[/dropshadow]: [glow=red][fade]9 GAMES AND COUNTING[/fade][/glow]
  2. Why did I get my hopes up even a bit for these fartknockers.
  3. Oh, horsefeathers all the way off, Descalso.
  4. Almora getting that scored a hit there is appalling.
  5. Dervish is horsefeathering weird. He's making guys look stupid, yet has given up 3 runs on 2 dongs (the only hits) on a night with the wind howling in.
  6. I feel like we say that often, it's just that he can't put it together for more than four innings. You say that like Joe didn't panic and pull him early last time out.
  7. Dumb freak HR aside, Yu looked damn good.
  8. So is this going on or what? https://www.draysbay.com/2019/3/4/18249693/mlb-experiments-with-new-baseballs The reason I ask is because I was stuck (HIIIII-OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH) listening to the Score on the way out of Chicago on Tuesday morning, and some guest was being interviewed who talked about the balls being used in baseball this year like it was a known fact that what's described in this article is happening, the mud is not being used, and that players are complaining about the "stickiness" of the new baseballs. I randomly remembered hearing this tossed out there as an idea a few years ago, but I figured if it actually went into effect it would be a bigger deal, especially if players were complaining. But Bernstein and The Other Guy just rolled with it like this is a known thing and talked about how it could especially horsefeathers up a guy like Hendricks. Did anyone else hear this segment? Is MLB actually using some type of new ball? I can't seem to find much of anything about it; mostly just the article above and ones talking about how AAA is now using MLB balls this season: https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/milb-2019-preview-new-year-new-baseballs/ Did I just, not shockingly, completely miss this happening?
  9. Oh my god, those horsefeathering cuffs.
  10. https://twitter.com/thekapman/status/1116051708927455236 I like how that reads like he's screaming at Rogers like a lunatic since nowhere does it say anything about Yu saying anything about the weather or pitching in it. Not that him screaming at Darvish doesn't also make him sound like a lunatic.
  11. And Joey Votto's troll game remains absolutely impeccable: [tweet] [/tweet]
  12. Random factoid of the day: did everyone realize that the Brewers are paying Aramis a cool deferred $3 mill right now? In 2019? https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/pittsburgh-pirates/aramis-ramirez-159/
  13. He did! OK, I thought I was going a little crazy imagining it... https://www.mlb.com/cut4/marcell-ozuna-climbs-wall-chasing-fly-ball-but-it-falls-well-short-c282315820
  14. Wait...didn't he horsefeathering do that against the Brewers, too?
  15. And it really bugs me that Jordan doesn't lock his workstation.
  16. No. You seemed to almost got there when you recognized the inherent internal conflict that is essentially Harvey Dent-ing their brains every second of every day.
