2018 Game Thread Starters

David's got until noon CST to have one up. If he doesn't, then it's TMan92, and then Andy. -
Guys, we can at least agree that while all types of crap smells bad, normal crap doesn't smell AS bad as crap when you've had intestinal bleeding?

Opinions deserve scorn if they're [expletive] opinions. A white supremacist holds the opinion of racial superiority, and he should absolutely be vilified for such a thing. Holding horsefeathers opinions absolutely makes someone a horsefeathers person. Yes, they’re both scummy. But can we at least agree that there’s a big difference between the white supremacist whose white supremacy is limited to point of view and the one who actually acts upon it? What point did you possibly think you were horsefeathering making when you posted this.

I don't believe she denied the allegations. She didn't participate in MLB's investigation. I don't like the term "cooperate" since it heaps so much blame/responsibility upon the victim. And that it grants way too much legitimacy to something which amounts to little more than the entity who employs the accused asking, "did you do this?" And then people who don't want to believe it act vindicated when the victims don't want to cooperate with an investigation run by the people whose best interest is making the person accused look as good as possible. See also: the sham that is Chris Hardwick being back on AMC.

This. Ricketts, Theo, and Jed don't seem like the kind of guys who will sit on their hands and let this one play out. He needs to be gone until this is investigated and let the dust settle where it may. ..they don't? this was a big story last spring, they looked into it & assuredly learned much of, if not all of what Melisa just shared and decided to stay the course with him; they've already failed the test Yeah, they've got a lot to prove in how they handle this, and, quite frankly, I'm not confident that they'll handle it well at all.
-
It just shows how much stuff has changed; I genuinely don't remember his 2006 domestic abuse calls coming up at all anywhere when the Cubs signed him. Compare that even to how much attention the 2011 charges against him got. With his signing with the Cubs, all of his attention was focused on his on-field attitude, which sucks.
-
It's pretty much a lock that he has a signed, framed poster of Todd Hundley. Surprised he didn't swoop in when Milton Bradley was brought up recently, too.
-
Some people think it’s more important that all fans are able to enjoy the sport without tremendous internal conflict than their favorite team making some marginal improvement to the playoff roster. Maybe. Those people also still celebrate the 2016 World Series which they don’t win without Aroldis Chapman. So in the end, winning is going to cure all even though it might feel gross to some. It's not a horsefeathering "cure all," plenty of people are both rightly happy the Cubs won the WS and detest that Chapman played a role in it.
-
It's not a competition. He's a garbage person, and the Cubs knew it. So because a guy has different opinions than you, that makes him a horsefeathers person? No, it's because he has terrible horsefeathering opinions about other people. Stop with the disengenuous, "the intolerance of intolerance is the REAL intolrance" false equivalency. So just other people almost certainly share his terrible thoughts on gay people (or worse), but we don't know about it, we shouldn't concern ourselves with his awful thoughts on homosexuality that HE CHOSE TO horsefeathers OUT INTO THE WORLD? The nonsense idea that sports are this "politically exempt" thing where this kind of thing should just be shrugged off because, hey, it's sports! is such a dorky, privileged take on things. I mean, this is horsefeathering baseball; Jackie Robinson's number is retired by everyone because SPORTS ARE POLITICAL.
-
Though I do like r_mack's commitment to his whole, "I horsefeathering hate everything about this team like a lunatic, except when it's the few guys a bunch of other people are fed up with" bit.
-
Murphy doesn’t belong in the same universe as the other two. It's not a competition. He's a garbage person, and the Cubs knew it.
-
In a twisted way, this makes his ongoing suckitude even more annoying since it gives the Cubs an easy out to dump him without addressing this sort of thing head on.
-
horsefeathers, I don't even want him traded; I want him out of baseball.
-
The counterpoint is that Hader saw zero consequences for his past actions coming to light, and Russell’s behavior has more in common with that in terms of deniability than Heimlich legally admitting to committing his crime.
-
Still having him, having traded for Chapman knowing who he is, AND then going out and trading for Murphy knowing who he is are bad, bad, bad looks for the Cubs. They need to be a LOT better. Russell needs to be gone ASAP.
-
This seems REALLY generous for what will be a 35-year old pitcher who has been mostly serious butt for his two most recent seasons.
-
4 September, and ~20 non-September, no? hamels' total 2018 xfip is 2nd best on the cubs That just speaks more to how bad the rotation was for the first half+ as opposed to how good an option Hamels is in the playoffs. In the end they're gonna have to gauge whether it's more likely that everyone else's recent success is a fluke and they're likely to regress to first half levels, or that Hamels HAS already regressed to how he was before he was traded.
-
you're putting too much emphasis on 4 september starts to put hamels all the way down to 4th imo Well, it's those 4 starts, plus how he performed before coming to the Cubs AND how he performed in 2017, too. His last 4 starts are right line line with Bad Hamels, so I'm more inclined that the month+ resurgence is the outlier. Bad Lester wasn't just a blip, but he also doesn't have as much of a sustained track record of badness. His 2017 definitely wasn't ideal, but he was much better than Hamels.
-
I remembered really liking that place, and it was better than I remembered. I remember they had a ton of ridiculous Lilly-related photoshops that I wish had survived. I'm pretty sure their masthead towards the end was a truly unsettling sunrise using Lilly's face.
-
Lester has been legit baller in his 3 September starts: 1.33/2.48 FIPs with a 1.18 WHIP, with walks down and k's WAY up (plus no dongs). Small sample size, sure, but he and Hamels have basically flip-flopped performance-wise. If he keeps it up through the end of the regular season, I think I have Lester go second after Hendricks. Hendricks Lester Quintana Hamels
-
Being so LH heavy especially sucks here since Hendricks really gives you your best shot to take the first game. Do they end up just rolling with having 3 lefties in a row?
-
His HR/9 is also back up at 1.85, which is right in line with what he was doing with Texas in the first half.
-
After last night, he's now sitting at 5.33/4.49 in 4 September starts. Yeah, let's not bring this guy back next year.
-
Yes, they're using the Barstool tweet, too. There's no escaping the Barstool funk on any of the Twitter versions.
