  1. Did he just say running the ball and stopping the run is the essence of football? This is why I just ignore these things 99% of the time.
  2. Everything coming out sounds fantastic. One of his critiques was his ability to build a defense, but he certainly didn't have final say.
  3. Marrone would be my #1 choice. Good to see he opted out.
  4. That list reminded me that Soler will be ROY.
  5. He wouldn't turn down that money in any universe. He has enough leverage to get his opt-out and NTC too. If Loria is one of those old misers with a smoking hot 20 year old GF he may as well negotiate that in too just to really top it all off.
  6. If he can't reverse the trend of his declining slugging % from being pitched outside consistently then how valuable is his mega-contract when someone who is 6'5" 250ish loses his speed? I'd still rather take Stanton and the extra cost with his profile.
  7. It's fun to be linked to every FA and trade target. And the reasons why are undeniably good. I would love to have Jason Heyward, like any team would. But he's expressed wanting to explore FA next year and you can always pay him then, he'll only be 26. We already have Soler and very easily Bryant there soon. I wouldn't make a move for a position player unless it's CF or C. Or Stanton. ETA: I'm well aware that I did not answer your question at all.
  8. I expected a crummy ERA and good peripherals. In reality, he's got a crummy ERA, crummy peripherals, and averaged 89 mph with his fastball while working primarily out of the bullpen. He hasn't been particularly interesting in a couple years, not since he stopped being a college pitcher beating up on kids in A ball. If you're one of the few who doesn't find a 3.5 GO/AO rate interesting...
  9. That is such a beautiful thing to see. It's nice to enjoy before they end up 9-29 in 1 run games somehow and Arrieta needs TJS.
  10. It's amazing that people are just now realizing Simmons is a lesbian.
  11. it would be better if you just stopped caring about these things Not so much caring as it is noticing.
  12. I'm a fan of deductive asininity. But in this case, if you willingly hire Jason Campbell you probably deserve to be fired.
  13. It'd be nice to change the award committees to non-idiots so that I wouldn't have to hear people talk about how much they don't care about them. It's so much worse around HOF induction time but this hurts too.
  14. There's no positivity until the off-season when we convince ourselves they'll be better.
  15. It's depressing to lose the best pure hitter in Cypress high school history.
  16. That hard-hitting analysis makes me wonder if I'm smarter than I give myself credit for.
  17. There's no question mark around Lake's bat. It's just bad and that's not going to change.
  18. Whatever a .700 OPS + fiery gravitational leadership is worth, then I'm in.
  19. Are we the Dodgers yet
  20. Was Renteria's contract ever disclosed?
  21. His defensive shifts have consistently saved runs. Last time I looked anyways.
  22. The ball didn't him in the nuts.
  23. You missed the story that came out a week later. http://deadspin.com/lebrons-hair-is-gone-again-what-the-hell-1640293873
