  1. I want to believe that there was some next-level thinking behind it that we don't understand, but I think he just tilted and made a mistake. He did also trade Josh Donaldson with 4 years of arbitration left on his contract. He's made a few head-scratchers lately. Isn't he eligible next year? I think he was a Super 2 guy with 4 years of arbitration. He has three more years of control after this, though. Ah, gotcha. Thanks. Yeah, the Russell deal I get, but that one was odd.
  2. The Duke Silver has a sexy way with his words.

  5. am i even that high on soler? i just don't think he's going to suck long term. i don't think i've been effusive with soler praise at all this year. he does hit the ball obscenely hard on a consistent basis, though. he's top 15 in the league among guys with 150+ PA in average batted ball velocity. and most of the other guys on that list have been pretty good hitters. http://baseballsavant.com/apps/hit_leader.php?game_date=&abs=150&sort=3,1&type=batter Well, I was joking about stuff like this; we all know how hard he hits the ball, but so far it hasn't translated to much this season. Hope, hope, hope...
  6. "Jace Petersen" sounds like the villain from an 80's teen sex romp.
  7. Castro can actually make contact and get a fluke hit or two, pitchers know exactly how to pitch Soler if they need a strikeout Throw it five inches off the plate and get the umpire to still ring him up? This. Solers strike zone has been absurd and it's gotta [expletive] with his approach There's not really any evidence that Soler has been a victim of an unusual number of bad strike calls, and people have looked for it. It's just a meme that entered people's heads and confirmation bias took over, especially since it's more comforting than talking about what a dumpster fire he's been this season and how that's bad for his projection. Coming up fast behind it are your repeated efforts to make up the idea that nobody is expressing worry or frustration over Soler. It's not enough that a player has a crappy year; it has to be that only Kyle was smart enough to not be in denial over said crappy year. Don't mistake David's robotic hyperbole over Soler's muscly arms as speaking for everyone else.
  8. Hence: *SIGH*
  9. It doesn't freeze a lot for me, but the quality degrades for a minute or so before getting back to HD, and it often "hiccups" back a few seconds; like 3-4 times a game.
  10. Wait, they have Comcast but somehow not Comcast Sports? Or they have a different provider?
  11. Guys, really; you don't have to pretend like it wouldn't be awesome for the Cubs to have [expletive] you money. I wish they could shrug off things going badly like that.
  12. After acquiring Utley, the Dodgers' payroll now stands at $307 million. *SIGH*
  13. what a [expletive] scam C(rafty)TR
  14. If these players want to be remembered by the common man such as myself then they should have been better at not being terrible.
  15. His second dong is going to be hit so hard it's going to catch up to the first dong. When those dongs slap together everyone will cheer. You're assuming only two dongs. When did you become Kyle? Oh, he will hit many dongs. But that will only happen with the first and second dongs.
  16. Hey, I recognized Vitters!
  17. Added bonus: when Schwarber is finally forced to retire because of some kind of mercy rule flimflam in 35 years, he'll go on to manage the Cubs and look like this: http://pmd205465tn.download.theplatform.com.edgesuite.net/Miramax/262/2/Rra2JuYTqyuEXVuIkpA4JqdHTizf9D2C_h264_3800_640x360_131619907662.jpg
  18. Seriously, there's zero chance this actually happened: STOP MAKING PLAYERS UP.
  19. What the [expletive] is a Montanez.
  20. All of the other Cubs should feel shame that they have to put on their pitiful displays around his magnificence.
