  1. He had 3 offensive seasons that were clearly above average by ops+. Only those 3 seasons netted him over 3 WAR according to bbref Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Heard some guy on STL sports radio today - I think Miklasz - say Molina was a sure HOF pick... I about did a spit take Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Andy Masur used to do the 5th, right? and lol at Coomer not being sure a ball that ends up on Waveland getting out
  4. I think playoff game thread starters should be determined by a combination of regular season record, consistency (lack of missed turns), and creativity
  5. Coomer doesn't sound too optimistic that they will avoid a delay...
  6. you're right who was the other weirdo that used ellipses way too much toonster uses them often, especially in the minor league and college threads
  7. Better than Good Marmol? Doesn't he hold (or did he at one point hold) the single season k/9 record?
  8. I think they should just put him on the playoff rosters and let him be Kirk Gibson c.1988
  9. I gotta admit this has shakier legs to stand on than Trump asking Hilary Clinton on a date. :D :D But where smokes starts to appear in trickles there could be fire later on. I say wait until this year's Winter meetings and if the Halos flop badly this year they may reconsider. What is their GM really going to say, "Sure we are floundering and are ready to set up a flea market". You never say never. The Rangers traded ARod so who knows. GO CUBS!!! Pretty sure Texas traded A-Rod because they didn't want to keep paying his ridiculous contract
  10. Kawasaki has to be called up just to be Screech. Does that mean Jake is AC Slater? Totally ripped, good at everything...
  11. I don't care if Tunsil smoked the Pope's secret stash, draft him if he's available at 11. edit: or you know, at 9 after a trade with the Bucs
  12. screw it, let's get crazy and go to soccer-style 2 game playoffs between the wild card teams and 2 worst division winners. Home and home series with best run differential advancing, away runs is first tiebreaker. If even after 2 games, Extra innings start with everyone available, can redo your lineup completely, winner determined by normal baseball extra innings rules. disclaimer: I know this will never happen, just fun to think of how stupid it could get.
  13. They've gotta be going QB right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Mike Dudek (Illinois WR who was freshman All-American) has torn his ACL for the 2nd straight year in a spring non-contact drill
  15. http://i.imgur.com/wJ5fcq8.png not in the least. Just wanted an excuse to post that article. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
  16. he gained the courage by following Mike Olt's MLB career nah, it was Mark Reynolds who inspired him. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=19409
  17. Soler's could not be more perfect. another observation: "I Will Always Love You" was number 1 for a long time.
  18. No, the game literally ended on the Illinois rule. Refresh my memory? The under 2 minute replay rule came about because of the Illinois-Miami RD 2 NCAA game where a ball went off Miami but was called off Illinois in the last minute or so with Illinois trailing by like 5.
  19. I think it should go to Valentine too. But Yogi will get strong consideration. He's the unquestioned leader and best player on the conference champion. Oh no doubt he should get strong consideration, and if he's no unanimous 1st team all-B1G it's a joke, but I just don't think they can put him over Valentine when they really get down to it. He's probably been the 2nd best by far though. Uthoff was very good for a stretch, but Iowa collapsing has to kill his chances. Trimble has struggled far too much to be considered for POY. Hayes has been good but not that good. OSU, PU, UM, don't really have any candidates for POY.
  20. No way Yogi should be B1G POY, Valentine is just better even though Yogi has been great
  21. Also, one pick was the difference between Kyle Fuller and Aaron Donald
  22. WAR can definitely go down if you play poorly. However, assuming good health and good play it will go up of course.
  23. They can't rule against the Cubs without ruling against all the other teams who have done it, right?
  24. On one hand, I hope the Dodgers gave up Urias and Seager for a (potentially historically great) RP. On the other, I kind of hope they didn't because even though Cincy sucks right now, I think those two will be awesome and would rather not deal with them being in the division
