  1. Baez, I will totally flip that jersey over to yours if you dong one here.
  2. PLEASE BE BETTER THAN THE OTHER NEW GUY, NEW GUY.
  3. I'll post a pic of my new jersey as soon as I get it. Can I still get one of the fancy ones with the gold?
  4. If Willson comes through here I will buy his jersey right now.
  5. Holy horsefeathers; I didn't even know they had gotten started again.
  6. There's a couple of diner/deli places by me here that do this and nobody ever seems to want the damn things. It's just a bunch of rando wrapped and buttered roles cluttering up the counter or the top of the deli case.
  7. I was surprised to see the defensive numbers; it speaks more to how relatively little I've seen of them this year, but I was expecting him to grade out pretty well at 3B again. I mean, the team as a whole had a pretty obvious and unexpected downturn at 3B, but I was assuming his wasn't as drastic for whatever reason. In no way was I thinking this was indicative of how he was going to be for the rest of his career, nor would it mean that he was now bad. It just wasn't what I was expecting to see at all. Like, if a guy who was a 5.2 WAR player one season and a 2 WAR player the next, you'd presumably be wondering, "uhhhh, what happened?"
  8. There's basically no way a .900+ OPS season can be a disappointment so I'm not really sure what you're expecting. I guess I was, simplistically, expecting something between an 8+ WAR season and a 5 WAR season. I was surprised to look him up on Fangraphs and see that it projected out to that much of a shift; I was expecting to see him end up something like a 7+ WAR value.
  9. Man, I used quotation marks and context and everything to keep it clear and you still blip-blorped all over the damn place. there's no context that can make your sentiment make any sense. it's nonsense. no, he isn't disappointing me in the least. Of course there is; relative to what I was expecting from someone as good as baseball as Kris Braynt, I was not expecting to see that much of a drop in player value. Again, I intentionally said "relative disappointment" for a reason. And that goes a long way to explaining why it's swung so much vs. someone like, say, Rizzo. Thanks!
  10. Man, I used quotation marks and context and everything to keep it clear and you still blip-blorped all over the damn place.
  11. his OPS is with a few points of his career total, so....no? Unless you expected the reigning MVP to make another large leap in production Nah, I just wouldn't have expected him to "only" be a 5 WAR player this year. Again: relative disappointment.
  12. Look, I'm not like that weirdo that thinks Bryant is some kind of choke artist...but his season is shaping up to be a relative disappointment, yes? I mean, as "disappointing" as a 5 WAR season can be; it's just not exactly what I think any of us were expecting from him.
  13. This guy's a lemon and Chompers is inevitably going to implode again. WHAT A WORLD.
  14. Baez for Verlander is sure sounding better and better. Jose looks like he's 38 as opposed to 28, and he's pitching like it, too.
  15. I don't like "WC Cubs" in the thread title; makes it sound like they're destined to just settle for being a wild card team.
  16. Just curious if you are aware of the theory this year that the baseballs are different and that pitchers are noticing something wrong with the stitching that may be causing blisters. I assume that he was either making a point or joke about that topic. I have to keep checking back to make sure this wasn't started by David.
  17. I mean, it's either that or who gives a horsefeathers.
  18. I just figured everyone was horsefeathering around not pointing that out; it seemed like an obvious callback to the whole blue/gold dress debate.
  19. http://imagesvh1-a.akamaihd.net/uri/mgid:file:http:shared:vh1.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/tumblr_inline_nmiehhDz1H1s13bk5_500-1430418784.gif Lost in the dong celebration, you kinda killed Lester, too.
  20. Damn. That's a rough read.
