My interest is as close to zero as its has ever been

It's so cute that you think that I would know/care that that is a thing Sorry I just assumed that someone with 69,000 (nice) posts on a Cubs message board would know that there have been like 2 Friday night games in the history of Wrigley Field. *shrug*

Yeah I can see how you can get this mixed up with all the other Friday night games the Cubs schedule at Wrigley It's so cute that you think that I would know/care that that is a thing

I missed this because I thought this was a night game and I'm not even mad about it

Also, his OPS if .410. HIS OPS!!! Jesus, I thought you were trying to make a dumb joke or something. What joke would that have been?

Even if the guy in the screenshot was doing the "look at my balls" game, can we agree that a functioning adult doing that on TV was inappropriate?

Yikes

In no world, real or imagined, does a random Sunday night baseball game in May compete against the final 3 episodes of GoT

Straight stole that game, wow

Bless your heart

Bote is a very good defensive 3B, so there's really no reason to do that. Thanks, that's what I was asking (Bote vs KB at 3B)

NL Central: Reds, Pirates and others

Read are in last place with a +7 run diff. The Brewers are 2 games over .500 with a -12 -
Has it been determined that Bote would be inadequate in the outfield? I haven't watched enough games to know what the defensive repercussions of Bryant in RF/Bote at 3B vs. Bryant at 3B/Bote in RF would be.

Thanks for checking in

Maybe they made contact with a lot of pitches out of the zone?

Yes, you throw fewer pitches when you strike fewer batters out. News at 11

It's interesting how Heyward continues to hit at the bottom of the order despite a good start. Is this Joe expecting a course correction (for the worse) for Heyward?

He’ll be a second baseman as soon as Russell comes back (ugh) no it does not appear that way anymore I don’t trust this front office to do the right thing until Russell is off the team. I don’t believe for a second that they’re going to stash him in Iowa all season

i need to introduce you to cody bellinger (or yelich for that matter - at least until he plays more road games) I think if a shortstop hits 56 and 136, it will make almost no difference what any other player does when it comes to MVP balloting. He’ll be a second baseman as soon as Russell comes back (ugh)

Fine - How about Schwarber's actual 2018 production of .238/.356/.467? Considering most of Burnitz's best seasons came during the juiced ball era, that Schwarber line from last year is more than comparable. He's also rating as an above average defender again, no matter how many times you try to claim that he's best served as a DH. Oh, but I'm sorry. Go ahead and keep banging your head against this one. Look, B2B has this figured out. Schwarber should have been traded at some undefined time for some undefined players (maybe even to two undefined teams, for two undefined players/groups of players?), and because of that obviously successful trade, the team that has won the most games in baseball since 2015 would be even better. After all, based on the stories we're actually aware of, Andrew Miller was supposedly on the table for Schwarber, and we passed on Miller, which was clearly a huge mistake as he only gave up a game 7 home run to 74 year old David Ross in a game we won by 1. And then put up 2.7 total fWAR in the next two years for $18m, compared to Schwarber's 4.8 fWAR for $1.1m. And then became a free agent, whereas we have Schwarber for two more years. When you look at the facts, it's obvious. Well you have to consider the tried-and-true tradition of winning a World Series with a core of 23 year olds, and then immediately trading away key members of that core for lottery tickets

God, you're weird

Fun fact: Starlin Castro career fWAR: 16.9 David Eckstein career fWAR: 16.7 It's almost like that name wasn't chosen at random... You should've shown your work
