    Hunter Pence has that stupid goofy grin and dumb lanky limbs that fly everywhere. He's like the living embodiment of annoying, like Jeff Francoeur

    Oh

    I love so much that Rafael Soriano has been placed on the DL with ""shoulder inflammation""

    (well, starlin does dumb [expletive] often enough that the criticisms are pretty valid) that said, completely unrelated to starlin and aramis, but defense matters too, now. you might've missed the memo. i got it like 4 years ago. I very much agree, and didn't want to give the impression I don't think defense matters. I still don't know what defensive stats to really trust though, and I know we've come a long way but there's still wildly different results that come in from BR to Fangraphs to this day. If you (or anyone else really) has dependable stuff to look at I'm eager to read up on them! Aramis was graded at bad, average, or solidly above average between various stats and scouts.

    I still never understood the hate for Aramis, who played at just a nudge below HOF level for the Cubs for like 10 years He's still the only player i ever bought a shir-sey of, and I'm glad he's still had some success in the MLB. The criticisms of his "hustle" strikes me just as strangely immaterial of the "Castro doesn't have his head in the game" stuff. I couldn't care one iota about either of those impossible to prove criticisms, I care if they hit or not.

    Wait What

    Here's hoping Dan Haren's Old Man Magic of keeping the least amount of Baserunners from scoring continues I'm sure he's going to regress to the mean at least a little bit but at least he's not Dallas Beeler

    This stat is so bananas. If this team had a slightly better than average offense it would be one of the best in the league.
  11. BigSlick
    Hit a donger and end this game, please

    Has Arrieta still only faced the minimum so far? Lol

    The part of me that hadn't completely rejected Castro and was prepared for a life without him at Shortstop stirred a little bit. A light flickered on in me and my heart warmed immensely. It's only a start, a fragile start, but I could get accustomed to not wanting him immediately off the team again.

    It was weird when people were flipping their [expletive] out two days ago when he might miss a week due to a concussion. Well it's bad for him in general if he gets a concussion. Bad ones can ruin careers, multiple ones can do serious damage.

    *rubs eyes* I'm seeing double here, Four Castros
  16. BigSlick
    I really think Bryant needs a few days off in a row, he's a mess right now
  17. BigSlick
    Checking the score on my phone and boy am I glad I'm not able to watch this because the botched scoring opportunities woulda drove me up a wall

    I, too, want to see the Schwarber in the lineup. Give the people what they want

    Beane going for it last year was pretty much the right move and they are ~20 games under .500 since then. Baseball, man. Then again, trading Addison Russell for 3 months of Hammel/Samardzija and the Marcus Semien pu-pu platter from the White Sox after the year and bailing on apparent Hall-of-Famer Josh Donaldson are their own fault. IMO, "going for it" for me wouldn't have involved trading one of my best hitters when the team wasn't particularly strong at hitting. I thought it was a weird move at the time.

    The Oakland A's *still* have a positive run differential (+31 runs) and are 13 games under .500. Their Pythagorean is better than the Cubs. :shock:
  21. BigSlick
    Ah well. a mighty anticlimax for the opener of a big series for playoff teams.
  22. BigSlick
    Hahah just watched the highlight of Beltre hitting for the cycle and teammates try to touch his head and he gets reeeeaaaaaal pissed
  23. BigSlick
    Hahahahahahahah @ the Giants
  24. BigSlick
    Well. That could have been much worse.

    I'm not sure what Maddon sees in Soriano. He needs to be fired out of a cannon.
