  1. No, not at all. Complete opposite actually. They let people play. That delay of game non penalty is how that is (not)called all the time. It drives me nuts every time I see it, but so be it.
  2. 10lb brisket. Ribs later Clam chowder in sourdough, ghirardelli brownies and much more
  3. https://twitter.com/nsbbcom/status/1224023261530460161?s=21
  4. I had it that way first then realized the NFL is distracted by their battle with PETA and won't have time to come after Tim right now.
  5. there is no try, only do
  6. To New Jersey?
  7. Yea, if there's something getting them back in the first it's both 2nds. Would it be just the 2nds or 2nds +? I don’t know pick values too well. Depends on how high up in the 1st, but the two 2nds should get you into the 1st all by themselves.
  8. Because they have a need at multiple positions, but limited picks, including only 3 in the top four rounds. So if you theoretically trade down from the 2nd into the 3rd and pick up a 4th and now instead of 3 picks in the first four rounds you have 4 picks in the first four rounds. Ok. I guess thats a move I wouldn’t make. I would rather have both 2nds considering we have no 1st round picks, with the idea that the first 2nd rounder is my 1st (Im likely picking a pos of need for an athlete who fell out of the first who fits that need). Since we have multiple needs, there should be someone who fits that mold. The 2nd 2nd rounder would, in effect, be my 2nd rd talent pick - or if I got lucky another 1st rd level talent who fell. You’re stuck with 4-7’s after that, but they have 6 picks in those rounds. Id go quantity at that point If you stay in the 2nd you have to go BPA, regardless of position. The bulk of the value in the higher picks is the opportunity to take BPA, not guys you think can fill a certain need, like Adam Shaheen.
  9. Because they have a need at multiple positions, but limited picks, including only 3 in the top four rounds. So if you theoretically trade down from the 2nd into the 3rd and pick up a 4th and now instead of 3 picks in the first four rounds you have 4 picks in the first four rounds.
  10. which coincides with the next time the Cubs will allow themselves to spend money.
  11. https://twitter.com/LenKasper/status/1222208682089426945
  12. not fair to take it out on the pitchers
  13. Why do people keep pretending there is strategy involved here?
  14. I've liked Scooter as a target all offseason. He was really good at the plate in each of his previous two healthy seasons. Given our roster, he's a really logical risk.
  15. Pitchers don't suck at hitting because they don't work on it enough, they suck at it because hitting his hard and pitching gets better and better. Scrappy McJunkball could scratch out a hit or two against the scrubs that pitched in yesteryear, not because he put in the time and effort.
  16. For decades, the single most important decision that a manager has to make during a game has been what to do with his starting pitcher coming up to the plate in a close game. Which tells you how unimportant the managers role is during a game. Also, it should read, "that a manager had to make". That's 1982 baseball you're talking about. It's gone. Baseball isn't a game of in game strategy. The level of decision making is checkers compared to the front office's chess.
  17. The mythological strategy is a thing that happens maybe once a game every few games. In almost every game, the pitcher is pulled in the 6th and every time his spot comes up they use a pinch hitter. That's not strategy, it's commoditized resource utilization, and it's dull as hell.
  18. Woo hoo, the DH is fun and awesome. This is great, instead of pretending there is something strategic about letting a crappy hitter hit, I get to watch guys who know how to hit actually hit.
  19. good timing for Nick's opt out
  20. Cincy doesn't have to become division contenders to alter the season, they just need to become relatively competent against teams other than the Cubs this year.
