  1. this game sucked and this team likely sucks but i just wanna say that jon lester is a beast and might be the most consequential cubs FA signing ever? I never thought he would be pitching this well at this point in his deal
  2. Beef Banngington
  3. Word is the orioles want Russell, obviously, and *furiously searching baseball reference* umm Mike Bielecki????
  4. Yeah same, I’m incredibly annoyed but have some reason to believe this silly historic walk nonsense will go away a bit. His stuff seems mostly fine too, not like his velo or movement is down and he’s wild. Literally just need the guy to go walking like 4.5 guys per 9. Theo right now while you nerds are still trying to rationalize this debacle: this whole game was worth it just for the bottle rocket reference
  5. look, we could drone on and on about the lineup, but the fact is we're going to slice up Bauer regardless
  6. Zobrist has never gotten enough credit for the Santo hop after the third out.
  7. Carl was worth 4.9 WAR post-Theo. Heyward has been worth *gulp* 2.3 WAR. PLOT TWIST: The Red Sox only got 0.2 WAR from Carl, the rest went to the Dodgers. Basically they both suck.
  8. do yourself a favor and never watch it. Even now I'm convinced that thing is gone.
  9. i think most of the reaction to his low k-rate is silly, even if i get it in the context of the fastball. Hes only like 20, he's never pitched above A+ ball, is it any surprise he doesnt really know what he's doing up there yet
  10. its awesome that mike trout and ohtani are on the same team. they are both so freaking good.
  11. yeah it's Ugly Jose, i knew he was *good* but seeing his production for like the last year + completely knocked my socks off at AA, he hit 3 HR in 113 G Lindor hit 7 in 109 G they've each hit 36 in the last year i only guessed right because i looked at the leaderboard the other day and was shocked to see him so high. I thought he was struggling to start the year off but it looks like he got it together
  12. when im commish: 1.)Teams can sign maxed out FAs on a sliding scale, so ok you have steph curry for $30m, the next max you can offer is $22.5m, after that $15m, or something like that. 2.) There's no draft, all college players who lose eligibility or declare become FAs. 3.) There is a lottery that determines which teams (of those who missed the playoffs or have traded into lottery position) have higher budgets to sign "rookies." This way Sacramento can offer Ben Simmons 5/150 if they want, but the Warriors can only offer him 5/25 or something like that. There is certainly no downside to this or way to rig the system.
  13. the problem i have with vlad (as much as it can be a problem) is that he looks like miguel cabrera, only he's 19 and he reminds me of 31 year old miguel cabrera
  14. yeeeeeeesh. mariners have to be estatic if this can somehow get them out of that contract
  15. I like how the reality is that out of very very very very few teams in our lifetimes, every good and very good team goes up and down and has good pitching sometimes and good hitting at others and we just don’t notice it because we only watch the cubs
  16. "If you look at the metrics, Quintana has been one of the most reliable starters in all of major league baseball"
  17. *almora hits a slow ground to the left side* Len: Teheran's gotta hurry!
  18. (derwood post) no jason heyward vs a righty?
