    this inning has it all

    The last month of the season can change everything and oddly enough there has been no "this is the best player in the NL" narrative yet, maybe because the focus has been on how good the cubs have been as a team. With Kershaw hurt, Harper playing poorly-ish and McCutcheon being dead, you don't really have a media-anointed superstar playing like a superstar in the NL right now. I'd say it's set to be one of Bryant/Rizzo/Murphy depending on how august and september go and what storylines come out of the final month.

    Ok, well obviously you'd know better than I would, but if he's not, then what competition does Westbrook really have? They have one professional sports team that's only been around for 8 years or so now. that's what im talking about you doofus. Everyone always assumed/hoped it would be Durant and that he'd stay here forever and there'd be statues of him etc. Meanwhile Westbrook was always one step away from being shipped out of town and people always griped that he was going to go to a big market as soon as he could. And what happens? Durant leaves to go carry Steph's dick and Westbrook re-signs when faced with a much less-advantageous situation than Durant. I mean it was like 2 years ago people here wanted to trade him for horsefeathering Rondo. Most of that is because oklahomans are dumb and only cared about college football for 100 years but the point is that his choice to stay cemented his legacy here. No matter what he does next people are going to say "hey at least he gave it a shot.

    Let's not go too far here. He has an opt out after 2 years when he will become a 10 year vet and be able to make a crapload more. If OKC can't put a contender around him they will be back in this situation in 2 years or possibly as early as next summer. if he leaves in 2 years because the team blows people here will be like "hey he tried to compete." You don't know what the mood is here in the state today.

    no one here cares about AD anymore

    yeah mark, crashing into marcus giles didn't help. of course neither did putting you back in the game after that so whatever

    what an about face. westbrook has always been the black sheep "ball hog," "glory ball," "trade him for rondo" while durant has been the golden boy. Now durant is a villain and westbrook is probably going to retire the most popular athlete in oklahoma history

    omg the part about ross trying to run down a celebrating Tomas between first and second is killing me hahahahahha

    from 96 to 89-92 after only 120 innings every 7 days, sounds like he'll be just fine to throw 180+ every five days! Who is counting on anyone in this system as is becoming a 180+ inning starter in the majors? Pulling off a more successful Warren starter/reliever would be a win out of this group by the end of the end of this decade. you are arguing yourself into some pretty horrendous circles here
  13. imb
    Which is why I specifically said "And you are definitely high on Hatch's velocity, as are many of the pre-draft scouting reports". He maybe reached back for 96 once in his 3rd start of the year or something, but I personally watched his last 2 starts and he was 89-92. I don't understand how I'm high on his velocity based on what you're saying yet. I don't doubt he sat 88-92 in his last two starts of the year at 88-92, but that's not out of the ordinary overall. We're likely talking 120+ innings in. from 96 to 89-92 after only 120 innings every 7 days, sounds like he'll be just fine to throw 180+ every five days!

    who here remembers when BP & FG had Moore as the #1 prospect over Trout & Harper? to be fair his profile at the time was fairly remarkable, but its a good example of why TINSTAAP because by the time moore got to start his first full season he was nowhere near the guy he was in the minors
  15. imb
    fairly confident we can swing a deal for a replacement level starter after the deadline without giving up baez
  16. imb
    why would this matter whatsoever
  17. imb
    And for allowing me to see Jake pitch on Saturday. He was the only starter I didn't see in Chicago last year. I'm going on Saturday as well. I went for premium seats behind home plate. nice, can you take a sign advertising tim's donation drive for nsbb or just wear this hat http://i.imgur.com/rdD2Ugz.jpg

    Giants are apparently trying to get matt moore.
  19. imb
    surely he had no options remaining at this point
  20. imb
    Yeah, if I'm a brewers fan I am giddy about that. Keith Law has said all season that the giants do not like bickford and basically think he's seconds away from a serious injury. Something about dramatic loss of fastball velocity etc. obviously the results are still there

    this is the dumbest stance actually, opposing this objectively dumb but hey the funny thing is there was no stance in that post, but you knew anyway what the actual right answer was. adding to this team in the hopes of somehow cementing (or, honestly, even significantly improving the odds of) a world series is a fool's errand and any significant long term sacrifice is ill advised. No seriously it's very dumb
  22. imb
    UGH
  23. imb
    By how much would you say you think the Cubs odds of winning a world series this year improve by replacing our current catching situation with Lucroy? Serious question. this is the dumbest stance
