  1. Perhaps this the MLBPA trying to keep guys (like Wisdom) being stashed in the minors through their mid-20's and STILL have to earn 6 years of service time? A "use 'em or lose 'em" system for all players?
  2. I know a guy like Harper is an exception, but would this mean that the Nats would have had control for 10 years?
  3. The dude has been playing for 18 horsefeathering seasons and his counting stats are hilariously bad. Barely 2000 hits, less than 1000 RBI, only 168 HR, career OPS+ of 97, career 55.3 fWAR (propped up entirely by defense)...
  4. The man gets the poops, can't we just leave him alone?
  5. Kyle has given up 27 dongs this year. Yikes
  6. Outside of drafting and re-signing LeBron, Cleveland hasn’t made a good move in 20 years
  7. Yeah, can’t be mad about that deal
  8. Bryant vs. Baez series Bryant with 1 HR, Baez with 0 (so far)
  9. Wisdom is going to turn into Bote next year, isn’t he
  10. Bote did all he could, but it wasn’t enough. Man is Bote terrible. And his contract is even worse. Hey, those two runs that scored on his GDP w/ the bases loaded helped us win that game!
  11. I’m starting to wonder if they know that player development is a thing.
  12. Ugh. Time to start calling him “injury prone?” Start?
  13. Miggy joins the 500 HR club Avert your eyes from his OPS…
  14. Update: 8/22/21 TEAM L W GB BAL 84 38 --- ^ ARZ 83 41 2.0 v TEX 80 43 4.5 PIT 79 44 5.5 MIA 73 51 12.0 CHC 71 54 14.5 ^ WSH 69 53 15.0 ^ MIN 70 54 15.0 ^ KC 68 54 16.0 v COL 66 57 18.5 DET 66 59 19.5 Baltimore moves into first place on the back of a 17 game losing streak (now THAT's tanking!!) Cubs jump up to #6, with Washington hot (cold) on their heels
  15. 2 runs on 1 hit is really something
  16. hilariously incompetent
  17. Well, they look terrible in all three facets. Good times
  18. Man, our starters give up a LOT of dongs
  19. History says “never”, as OL has been a concern every year I’ve watched this team (under multiple coaches and GM’s)
  20. The Cubs organization's full on canceling of Sammy Sosa is something to behold
  21. He's been worth 0.7 fWAR in 78 PA's coming into today, so on pace for around 1.0 fWAR per 100 PA's. I'll take that on the cheap
  22. Hilarious to me that Rizzo, Baez, Bryant et al struggled so mightily this year, while Ortega, Schwindel and Chirinos are all above .300 average and are just smacking extra base hits all over the place
  23. The dumb Reds ALWAYS talk about Happ loving that "hometown hitting". It's like they can't just be happy with their own team, they have to appropriate every Ohio-born player on other teams Before that homer, Happ had a .349/.457/.783/1.240 line at GAB. Maybe they'll take him off our hands?
