    Bryant should lead off vs lhp

    Why is an athletic’s reporter talking about our roster moves

    True, but there are several in the league, and calling that play a "14/10" is ridiculously hyperbolic that shot is extremely hard to make and it's ... freakin twitter. calm down derwood damn, when you see dog rates give some pup a 11/10 do you criticize that too

    but at least he was also the slowest human being in existence as well

    i dont think "struggles" is a strong enough word to describe his second half .300 ops

    Man, given what we know about this FO and the owners now, I'm pretty it was actually a selling point for them. the only reason it took so long to finalize was joe was worried that aroldis was a muslim name

    Man, given what we know about this FO and the owners now, I'm pretty it was actually a selling point for them. Yeah it’s funny, back then I had this mistaken belief that the Cubs FO wouldn’t never acquire a player with baggage like that but now it seems like an annual tradition. a true monkeys paw scenario wow i wish the cubs would stop it with the homophobes and domestic abusers *offseason highlighted by daniel descalso*

    Man, given what we know about this FO and the owners now, I'm pretty it was actually a selling point for them. i went back through a lot of this thread to see how hard i defended chapman (too much) and what the opinion of the FO/ownership was (too high) but i dunked on david ross hater so in the end it all worked out

    well sometimes you need to win the world series and not worry as much about winning the award for most team control. 90 percent of our team is controlled for the next half-decade. how much do you think this increases the chances the cubs win the WS this year? A lot

    I know writers don’t get to pick their own headlines, but a writer should be immediately fired and blacklisted for something like this its a defensible position isnt it? Post-2017 he was two years removed from a 9-war MVP season (as a 22 year old!) and was fresh off a 1.000 OPS season where he was only held back by injury. Post 2019 he was fresh off a downish season where his defense slipped and he was in a market that didn't appear to have a great fit for him. You can argue that a player's worth is different than "what someone will pay for him," but in this context his "worth" is dictated by the market and it's not necessarily wrong that you could have probably held out and gotten him for less. Maybe.

    New murder doc on netflix but instead you got espn on? Here, you now have to watch Mike Matheny try to read his own handwriting for 5 minutes

    look if for some reason we are stupid enough to eschew all the cool popular media that exists today in lieu of watching men hit baseballs with a stick, we should be forced to watch fat managers tumble around the field making lineup changes.

    same for me but Jerome Williams Alfonseca was stronger than I realized. the extra fingers probably helped

    im for the three-batter rule strictly because i like seeing the fucked up "oh my god why is this happening" face that relievers make when they suck butt and also the "oh my god why is this happening" face fans make when their relievers suck butt. it will be bad when it happens to us but good when it happens to everyone else so therefore in conclusion the good outweighs the bad, do not respond to this post

    How does it definitely make the game better though? Because we’ll save maybe 7 min a game on pitching changes (not to say this won’t make games longer since there’s chances for blowups for guys forcing them to face 3 batters and creating long innings)? There’s far more downside than upside, imo. i dont know how it makes the game better, i just dont think it makes it worse either, just different. I really dont care one way or the other so i dont know why im even posting (very on brand for me.)

    i think the three-batter minimum is kind of stupid but i also think you'll get to the end of a season and be like "oh that was bad like 4 times overall" so who cares

    it hurt to unfollow PFT commenter last year but i dont regret it

    there wasn't a single aspect of that thread that was not embarassing

    i had so many good ones from back pre-crash when the board was hopping with crazies. Goddman, you aren't kidding. Though sulley tried to singlehandedly keep it going for a while. oh horsefeathers if you go log in on the archives site they're all still there edit: omg lol i have the letter omc sent tim and 1908 about me, amazing

    i rarely ever get one but got a lengthy one recently that said i should ignore this poster's posts and that i'm dumb. fred did PM me once when my location was "Pirate Country" and asked if I wanted to catch the Cubs @ Pirates game with him. I guess the board crash deleted that one : ( i had so many good ones from back pre-crash when the board was hopping with crazies.
