    Bowden just tweeted that the Nats won't give up Giolito.

    Thanks.

    Throw strikes, Lester.

    Yeah, it's not like Zobrist is all that special at infield defense. His value is in being "ok" at multiple positions.

    And I think it's ok to feel this way and still say that Rondon was very good as a closer.

    It's a terrible idea. That just makes it easier to ignore the things that make him a terrible human, and those things shouldn't be ignored.

    I keep hearing "his approach is awful"... It's been a whole month...I guess it's time for another Baez article Aaron... http://www.northsidebaseball.com/articles/cubs-articles/29-an-improved-javier-baez

    He was sick. No injury.

    This is a fun new tradition.

    Got cheap tickets to the FIre through work for the 14th, and apparently we get to go down on the field to watch pre-game warmups. First pro soccer game of any kinda that I've attended.

    Yeah, he was quite funny last night. "The notes say he missed his last start...doesn't say why though...."
  17. Banedon
    Saved the team last night, imo.

    How about donate each time that the Cubs screw the closer, so that you're not rooting for Chapman at all. In any case, it's a lot more fun to root for "screw the closer" with Chapman. I always felt a little bad for Rondon. I don't for Chapman.

    I voted Baez because that's who Mojo meant to vote for.

    Hahaha...good luck... http://gizmodo.com/olympics-committee-says-non-sponsors-are-banned-from-tw-1784344194

    Part of it too could be if teams have figured out that he can be shifted on predictably, it may make him appear unlucky.

    Fangraphs further breaks down liners in to soft, medium, and hard. They have him at 15.5% soft, 44.8% medium and 39.7% hard. Last year was 12.4% soft, 43.8% medium and 43.8% hard.
  23. Banedon
    So what you're positing is that Chapman is actually so noble because he was so terrified by his crazed girlfriend he had no choice but to start blasting off a gun to protect himself? Gotta scare off the wolves somehow.
  24. Banedon
    I don't think this is something as simple as that. I think there's going to be a pretty major retooling of his swing in the offseason. It's too much to fix during the season.

    Players being ok with it doesn't mean much to me. Sports culture is ok with a lot things that society at large isn't, or shouldn't, be ok with. A man who's been accused of rape, sexual assault, and quid pro-quo sexual favors by multiple women was elected as POTUS for two consecutive terms and remains one of the most admired politicians of the last 50 years. I don't think it's limited to sports culture. People choose to ignore bad behavior when it suits their own needs. I wasn't absolving any other aspect of our culture by any means. I was simply saying that locker room culture is hardly a place to look and say "well if they're ok with it, we should be too".
