  1. Dex smoked that ball - a nice day and that may drop somewhere or get over the fence
  2. Loaded for Fowler add a Granny to your season my friend
  3. Wow I'm surprised they're pulling Hendricks here. Let's see if this pays off. Seems very pessimistic for a team that can be very explosive but ah well
  4. Baseball gods finally paying it back to Russell, on a ball that coulda been a double play ball
  5. Excellent at bat by Soler, really good strike zone judgment there
  6. What is with all the Montero hate from randos lately? I didn't know he was such a polarizing figure
  7. I haven't been keeping up *too* much but the bubble's kinda popping on these team tv deals right? Like a few years ago it looked like the Cubs could get hundreds of millions to billions for something like that once the WGN deal wore off, but now, its not looking like it right?
  8. I kinda suspected something was up with Montero because he was looking kinda helpless at the plate for a little while.
  9. The Brewers and the Braves right now are basically what would happen if there was a baseball strike and teams fielded scab teams
  10. I don't know who any of these Brewers hitters are save like Jonathan Lucroy
  11. He has the lowest walk rate of all the starters and the best SO/BB ratio. Hammel has a slightly better regular FIP, but he's also giving up 3 fewer hits per 9 (often out of a pitcher's control) and hasn't given up a home run yet (which I chock up to luck mostly at this point).
  12. Who doesn't like Kyle Hendricks? He at least doesn't get our beloved Linebacker Outfielders killed with rockets in the outfield
  13. Watching Oakland-Detroit highlights and...does Oakland have Chris Coghlan playing third base some of the time? This reminds me of the Coghlan at Second Experience (wasn't all that embarrassingly awful, until we got Resurgent Castro to come back). Very strange. BRef is telling me Coghlan played at least one inning at third last year for us but I have no recollection of that.
  14. No Cubs game today but at least the Cardinals are down 6 runs. Soothes a Cubs-less soul
  15. They should have canceled the All-Star Game after Arrieta didn't make it last year
  16. Get ready for Kris Bryant to push his OPS over 1.000
  17. Shout out to Matt Sczcur for having a cool name and not completely sucking so far
  18. Oh yay we get some Rondon time!
  19. It's possible Adam Warren is really good
  20. You have no idea what you're talking about. You must be one of those nerds that just watches the play by play online, because we aren't watching the same games apparently. Oh dear, you're not going to enjoy your stay here
  21. You have no idea what you're talking about. You're right.. It's a joy watching him roll over to second base or pop up every other time. Oh but he can frame pitches well! He's bad Montero gives you a plus bat and an elite pitch framer. I don't know what more you want from him.
  22. When I correctly pointed out his upper portions are shaped like a seal. Plus it never felt right; Jack Wilson will always be the real "Rat Boy" to me. you aint kidding http://d3k2oh6evki4b7.cloudfront.net/req/201602120/images/headshots/3/3910e5c6_sabr.jpg
  23. [expletive] i was just guessing at where he was. Ah, so it was instead a brutally offensive insult. A totally deserved one, obviously
