    It's kinda weird how *consistent* this team has been this whole year, despite a lot of upheaval on the roster, its scoring, and its pitching.

    People have to understand that the playoffs are pretty much 11 coin flips in a row. You can play around it a little bit, increase your coin flips a couple percentage points here and there, but you're never going to get overwhelming odds. So your job is to make the playoffs as frequently as possible (and a secondary goal is to have the best seeding, and a tertiary goal is having a couple good front line starters, who tip the scales slightly more than any other factor on a team). So, that being the case, try to make the playoffs this year, but don't do it at the expense of future chances. It's pretty simple.

    That's a smart decision. Keep the ball rolling while it's rolling.
  4. BigSlick
    Nice. Nice.
  5. BigSlick
    Alright Schwarber you get one more chance to live up to your legend
  6. BigSlick
    It would be nice to get Motte-Insurance
  7. BigSlick
    Rizzo could not have come back sooner
  8. BigSlick
    Wow
  9. BigSlick
    This team is so shockingly bad at hitting the baseball it astounds me
  10. BigSlick
    Welp.
  11. BigSlick
    I think Magic Schwarber is done. What we have now is a human being who is still hopefully still very good at hitting baseballs
  12. BigSlick
    I really hope they can scratch a run across
  13. BigSlick
    I love Addison Russell
  14. BigSlick
    Fowler has put together some great at bats recently Schwarber you better hit an XBH if this team can be expected to score today
  15. BigSlick
    Arrieta gave me a scare there

    While the dribbler back to the pitcher wasn't great, Castro's pathetic, desperate lunge at a pitch several feet outside on an obvious "oh it's 0-2 I'm just gonna throw an obvious ball and see if he offers" pitch was severely embarrassing It's the kind of swing no one in the majors should make
  17. BigSlick
    Well they're gonna strand the guy on 3rd with no out
  18. BigSlick
    Seriously Starlin? Seriously? That's humiliating
  19. BigSlick
    Ahhhh love to see other teams make awful base running decisions
  20. BigSlick
    This ump is giving a pretty tight, weird, zone
  21. BigSlick
    Schwarber did not, uh, look comfortable there
  22. BigSlick
    Those socks don't really work with the road greys, Jake
  23. BigSlick
    Ahhh the march of line outs and strike outs begin
  24. BigSlick
    I can't tell you how frustrating it is that Coghlan pronounces his name "Cogg-lan" and not "Cough-lan"
  25. BigSlick
    I had no idea who this Gyorky guy was at all, nor how some dude I'd never heard of already had a contract they want to unload I uh, haven't been paying much attention the last like 3 years
