  1. http://mlb.nbcsports.com/2015/09/18/brewers-tell-matt-garza-to-stay-on-paternity-leave/ Eh, it's also that they aren't playing for anything at all, so why not let the guy have some extra time with his wife and newborn? I'm not saying him and the Brewers are a great fit, but I think this is reading into things a bit much. No it's not. You don't just let a guy leave for 2.5 weeks because you aren't playing for anything. That's a meaningfully weird situation.
  2. Wasn't anticipating it? He's played 125ish games in the majors this year. One would think he'd seen a take out slide or three before last night The majority of his playing time this year has been as a 3B. He's only played 55 games at SS this year, sporadically. And you don't just learn to hop out of the way of a take out slide by seeing a couple of them. It's an instinctive play you learn to make over time.
  3. couple reports that seabrook has an extension coming
  4. Do they think treating him like a 5 year old child will shame him into better behavior? Dan Bernstein always has to have a guy on the inside who gives him the straight dope. It makes no sense to force him to face the media as some sort of punishment. The Blackhawks organization probably took the biggest hit with that PC. They had it because there was really no way to not have one.
  5. Completely agree. Baseball players don't know how to do physical. Let them try to hit dongs and leave it at that. The legal takeout slide is a dumb thing.
  6. Hopefully it ends with retirement Retirement of your cardinals, in order.
  7. Castro sucking was much more disappointing than surprising to me. I was hopeful but 2013 plus his approach have been in back of my head.
  8. I did not see Russell playing at all. I also half expected Arrieta to take a moderate step back, not become a Cy Young candidate.

  11. They have it for two reasons: 1) They have to have a press conference at the start of camp and any press conference is going to be centered on Kane. 2) Having it with Kane and the 3 leaders of the organization suggests strong support for him. Take into account the absolute nothing to gain everything to lose situation with answering questions and it was inevitable that they'd say next to nothing about Kane/Rape questions. Fair. But why even have Kane take questions when you know he's not going to say anything. "I appreciate your question" "Because of the legal process...". What a joke. I mean, if it even tangentially touched on the incident (distraction, scheduling, going forward, etc...) he didn't say anything. It was a joke. Should have never allowed Q&A. I don't really think it was a joke. They had to have the PC. None of them could comment on anything related to the rape investigation. They could have had a PC with Kane and his lawyer only, but the optics of that would send a strong negative message.

  13. Schwarbs got lifted for defense that was Denorfia Ok thanks. Glad I was wrong. Thought it was Scwarbs and freaked out when I thought it was himbelly flopping on the warning track Schwarber is the size of, like, 3 Denofrias. to be fair, hughes said it was schwarber until he corrected himself like 20 seconds later after realizing he was subbed out I believe Len said Schwarber as well.
  14. He's not actually supposed to be starting them. tree is technically still the active thread starter. He started the 2nd doubleheader which the Cubs won two nights ago, but didn't post the thread yesterday (or today). But we're winning, so..... nope. the guy who starts a winning game thread is the active thread starter. You cede your spot and your start is gone.
  15. This is a PR statement, showing that the team supports him and in effect believes his story and believes he will be exonerated, without saying anything like the Ravens said when they made Ray Rice's wife apologize for getting hit.
  16. Holliday is the main reason I adjusted my initial dirty slide comment.
  17. wow this is not how I would have envisioned this press conference
  18. camera is focused on a doorway with a crucifix right next to it
