    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

    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

    fairly confident we can swing a deal for a replacement level starter after the deadline without giving up baez
  6. imb
    why would this matter whatsoever

    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.
  9. imb
    surely he had no options remaining at this point
  10. 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
  12. imb
    UGH
  13. 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

    this kid looks exactly like schwarber you arent wrong http://i.imgur.com/5n4Qrxl.jpg?2 schwarbs fucked rizzo's sister it is known

    FA?

    Quotes like Rizzo's are why these leagues taking tough stances on DV cases are important. Chapman was never arrested or charged, but he was still suspended. Some would call that unfair, but then Rizzo makes a tone deaf quote like that and reminds you that people, in general, do not take this stuff seriously.

    Pretty much, I chalk this year up to [expletive] happening once in a while. Me myself personally, I still fully expect a great season during his tenure as a Cub. i remember telling you last year that it would be cool to sign heyward but sure would suck waiting half a season for him to start hitting and you assured me this wouldnt happen
  18. imb
    Have you missed the last 40 pages?
  19. imb
    you are a [expletive] idiot and should feel bad about it You're a really nice person. he had some bad Barton's last night

    christ

    So then I'm assuming you know all the facts of the situation, right?
  22. imb
    god arrieta blows.
  23. imb
    fun fact: jose altuve has more home runs THIS SEASON than jason heyward will ever hit in his career how can you be built like giancarlo and hit like elvis andrus

    lol - poor Jed. "Jed's a mess. He;s a disgrace" - donald trump

    You might not be wrong, but I don't think it particularly matters. Chapman is not a good guy, this is the worst but not the only data point in that regard. He put his hands around the woman's neck as part of an argument, shot a gun in frustration, and (this might be a previous incident) hurt his hand punching a car window. Anyone not comfortable or happy with him on the team because of it is not unjustified, especially given the culture around domestic violence and extra especially with celebrities/athletes. It doesn't mean that's the one true interpretation, but debating the minutiae of that incident is not a winning argument, because even if you're right the people upset are still not wrong. I'm now remembering some crazy ESPN magazine article or something talking about how insanely strange his day to day life is in the offseason. Does anyone remember what I'm talking about? yeah it talked about how he was always smoking cigarettes and horsefeathers, it was really weird. it was basically like "good thing this dude is hella good at baseball" because america is such a culture shock from his hardscrabble cuban upbringing that he basically just hid in his apartment all day
