bill murray is a true humanitarian

yeah that makes no sense. the better player is the guy who contributes more overall. awarding subjectivity points because you like his moxie or the cut of his jib is irrelevant

Are the library computer labs open that late in St Louis? no but the cell phones are on during the drive home from [insert st. louis bar]

this is schadenfreude for all that loving ourselves we did recently

i still laugh when i think of that jim thome one where he says be arby

yeah, i've been silently hoping for a javy miracle since right before the hand injury

i think we just need to learn to be satisfied that in some other iteration of this reality, this situation is reversed. ahhhhhhhhhhhh feels goooooooooooood

your con being exposed by someone leads you to the conclusion that nothing good can ever happen? no need to pile on

the baseball cubs of chicago will face off against the [garbled] hurling the threaded calf-skin projectile for the home team will be http://images.scribblelive.com/2014/12/15/6a624508-11ab-4c7e-b5c3-b608005e6d96_500.jpg and farting incessantly will be let the gams begin

i just want all the other canadian teams to be better than vancouver, is that so wrong?

soler doesn't need to fix his swing so much as he needs to exercise restraint on pitches that are not strikes. i don't think we should expect that to have changed while he was sidelined, but it seems like a decent amount of people are of the mindset that it's a change that can happen suddenly, so we shouldn't not expect it to happen either

my hope is he'll eventually feel sorry for crushing our dreams and sign with us, put drose in a baby bjorn and win us a championship

how many years for saad in columbus?

uzr will most assuredly hate kris bryant next year, but that's because uzr sucks for 3rd base year to year. barring injury or indifference, we should expect him to stay stable for a few years in terms of defensive contribution. he's not going to be a butcher and he's not going to be machado, so i'm of the inclination it's not particularly worth much consideration. if we become more gb heavy as a pitching staff, it might be worth a little more attention the primary problem as far as i can tell (and this is nothing new) with bryant in terms of future development is that his biggest weakness is that he misses the baseball on 1/3 of his swings. while we see contact% improve with age through 28/29, it correlates so highly year to year that those improvements are likely to be very small. we should also see some improvement in strike zone judgement, particularly with relation to swings and misses on pitches outside the zone. if not cancelled out by negative variance, the convergence of these two minor trends over the next several years will give bryant more opportunities to express his dong abilities. will this equate to an improvement on the magnitude of 1 or 2 additional war? i honestly have no idea, maybe someone does anyway, leaps in contact% do occur, but i haven't seen anything suggesting that they are sustainable. and anecdotally, they don't seem to correlate strongly with increases in war but that observation is useless because it was just me cherry-picking a few names to see how those differences manifest themselves the positive outliers to the trends on contact% and plate discipline are very rare. perhaps there's an argument to be made that bryant is more likely than the rest of the field to be one of those positive outliers, but i'm not the one to make it
