  1. Is it? Considering most homeruns have to travel well over 300 feet just to be home runs in the first place, it's not that crazy to me. The only reference to this stat I see is the average distance from 2016 - 2017 was 398 feet. So, I'm not sure what this particular stat means, if anything.
  2. He's a magic carpet ride and I hope we never have to get off. Ah, so you're going with the Sting method of enjoying Baez. Tantric baseball
  3. [tweet] [/tweet]For a split second I thought maybe javy wouldn't run to first base, but then I saw the RF heading toward the dugout and realized Javy was probably strutting down there and got upset with myself for thinking there was even a chance he would screw that up
  4. Bote has been garbage for a while now, might be worth it to give him a breather for a few days and maybe work on some things with the coaches/video guys to get right. He also still is dealing with the broken toe, maybe they want him to get off the foot for a few days. Also: they're both probably butt. Me being forced to decide which garbage player should be put in the game
  5. Theo isn't the owner. The owners were practicing austerity well before Theo arrived. Here' s a major flaw in your bootlicking. If you steadily increase your budget every year it is much better than increasing it and then suddenly slamming on the brakes. Slamming on the brakes on budget growth completely destroys the process of spending that budget. Pulling back is unforgivable and that is what the owners did. They did not pull back to prevent losses or risk to the underlying business. They pulled back to maximize profitability during a time of unprecedented tax cuts they advocated for. But go ahead and keep making excuses for them.
  6. Counterpoint, no, we really do not have to. They've owned the team for a decade and spent half that decade bargain hunting and not trying to win. They finally started to spend and then suddenly slammed on the brakes. You boot lickers might be happy with one year of a spending out of a decade, but I'm not. They don't get the benefit of the doubt until they've spent the vast majority of their ownership actually putting money back into the team and trying to win. They aren't anywhere close to that yet.
  7. were these all cuts scenes from party of five?
  8. DJ Herz and DJ Jefferson at Wrigley Field, are they finally getting around to replacing the guy they fired for playing smack my bitch up when Aroldis Chapman was on the mound?
  9. Let's not, please. Oh please. When the joke is that a guy was riding a woman because she isn't a horse I'M the one that got inappropriate. Ok. She was a horse woman
  10. He fell off a "non-horse" at his ranch? So he fell off a cow? Or possibly a llama? Clearly he fell off the woman who runs like a horse https://twitter.com/yChernno/status/1128342945239838720?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1128342945239838720&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdeadspin.com%2Fajax%2Finset%2Fiframe%3Fid%3Dtwitter-1128342945239838720%26autosize%3D1
  11. I'm blanking; who is the third guy missing after Baez and Contreras? zobrist? (although that's more a memory than anything)
  12. maybe they keep trying to put him on the DL but the league won't accept the paperwork and theo is too embarrassed to figure out what he's doing wrong
  13. Well damn: 9 minutes apart. How?
  14. It's the Don Draper treatment. Some second year copywriter doesn't get to take time off to reflect, the guys with a track record of performance are allowed more leeway.
  15. I like the inclusion of "improper" in that list
  16. how long before we stop comparing major league athletes who are at the top 1% of the world at their profession to our lame ass 9-5 selves and pretend it's somehow a meaningful comparison Not just yet. So, how long? Dude is getting a divorce. Let's go. he's got a sub 600 OPS this year. You can wait.
