    Yea, I mean he came in with the bases empty and a 3-run lead against the 5-6-7 hitters of the team that has (i) scored the third fewest runs in the NL (Marlins and Dodgers), (ii) the second lowest OBP in the NL (Marlins), and (iii) the second lowest SLG in the NL (Marlins). If that's somehow "too much pressure," then there literally is no use for him on the roster to begin with.

    Peter King ‏@SI_PeterKing 1m Carlos Marmol has had some of the biggest meltdowns I've ever seen a reliever have. Today's (Niuwenhuis?!) is on his greatest-hits list.

    Almora 3/4 with a single, double, and a triple.

    JJ Cooper ‏@jjcoop36 2m Has a chance to stay at SS. Can't go stronger than that RT @answerdave: Now that you mention it, however does he project to play SS? JJ Cooper ‏@jjcoop36 39s Can't see Bryant keeping Baez off 3B. Baez better defensively RT @threeputt333: with Castro and Bryant. Would Baez be an OF candidate?

    JJ Cooper ‏@jjcoop36 21s Javier Baez is having as good a day as I can remember a prospect having in the 10+ years I've been at BA. 4 ABs, 4 HR.

    In other news, Alcantara is 2/2 with 2 singles (both off Archie Bradley).
  7. Have a seat, Neifi
    Nevermind, there it is. Lol that's insane.
  8. Have a seat, Neifi
    ? Box score I'm looking at on MiLB.com still has it at 6-5 Cubs, and Javy with just the 2 ABs.

    Albert Amora is amused by the simplicity of Low A pitching.

    Those scouts should be fired if that's the logic for making that statement (guessing they might be butt hurt Pirates scouts). It's not like Appel turned down their offer because he wanted to take a year off spending his time doing blow and throwing change at strippers. He turned it down because he thought he was worth more and wanted to prove it, which he did. If anything it points to a strong character makeup and a guy who is striving to be the best. Agreed. He also finished (or will imminently finish) his degree at Stanford too, if I'm not mistaken.

    Apologies if posted elsewhere, but today's BA Prospect Hot Sheet has Pierce Johnson at #9 and Jeimer in the "Not So Hot" category -- http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/prospect-hot-sheet-may-31-wil-myers-heats-up/

    Jacoby Ellsbury with 5 stolen bases (!) tonight vs. the Phillies. I'm not much a SB guy but....wow.
  13. Have a seat, Neifi
    I remember the rumored Brown / Soriano deal similar to N&G, i.e., that we offered something akin to a straight-up swap and that it was the Phillies (not us) that said no.

    Brett (BN) has a nice write-up on Callis's article from yesterday in which he assigned Bryant an 80 power. /Want
  15. Have a seat, Neifi
    FWIW basically all of Twitter is calling this a very team-friendly deal for us, including Keith Law. So we've got that going for us.
  16. Have a seat, Neifi
    Shelby Miller tonight vs. COL: 8 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 11 Ks. Not terrible.
  17. Have a seat, Neifi
    Mark Appel about to pitch on ESPNU. According to K Law, Cubs' brass in attendance: keithlaw ‏@keithlaw 2m I believe the Astros have four guys here. Hoyer and Bush here from the Cubs. Saw at least three other teams' scouting directors too.
  18. Have a seat, Neifi
    Andrew Cashner making his first start of the season tonight @ San Francisco.
  19. Have a seat, Neifi
    Rick Porcello with one of the worst lines I've seen in awhile: 0.2 IP, 9 hits, 9 ERs, 1 BB, 0 Ks. Yikes.
  20. Have a seat, Neifi
    Right, soo Justin Upton now has 7 HRs, more 7 MLB teams. But Prado is just so damn gritty, so it's cool.
  21. Have a seat, Neifi
    Seeing it live it may honestly have been the worst strike call I've ever seen.
  22. Have a seat, Neifi
    FWIW, Keith Law and Joe Sheehan both see this is an especially lousy return for the D'Backs, especially in light of their previous moves this offseason. Can't say I disagree.
  23. Have a seat, Neifi
    Chargers reportedly on the verge of hiring McCoy as their new HC. Guess that means we're down to Trestman or Arians. Edited to say looks like Banedon beat me by a few minutes.

    That's not true. Yea, we can all agree the Bears haven't been particularly impressive the second half of the season, but they're not some awful team masquerading as a wildcard contender. We've played the 6th toughest schedule in the NFL by opponents' winning percentage, and have the 5th best point differential in the NFC (and are just barely behind the 3rd and 4th best teams in terms of point differential; indeed, the Packers are +100 on the year while the Bears are +96). The Bears haven't beaten a ton of good teams, but their strength of victory (i.e., winning percentage of the teams they have beaten) is still better than Dallas or Atlanta in the NFC, and Denver, Indianapolis, and Cincinnati in the AFC.
  25. Have a seat, Neifi
    On a related note, the Bears have played the 6th most difficult schedule in terms of opponents' collective winning %. Only the Lions, Cardinals, Giants, Jaguars, and Titans have played stronger opponents. (Though I suppose those teams themselves contribute to that SOS mark by consistently losing to said teams.) Thoroughly unsurprising is that the Falcons have played the softest schedule, followed closely by the Colts and Bengals.
