    You mean like the Murderer's Throw shirt? Or just head shots of all of them in a row?

    As far as I know, plus he's terrible in the OF (obviously) and the Braves are concerned his 250 pound frame won't hold up in either position. He's basically Adam Dunning it right now

    Rays run with a Red Sox collapse. Also a Braves run with a Phillies collapse in the NL the same year, IIRC

    How much of Bryant's BB% can be attributed to teams pitching around him so he doesn't hit a home run into space vs. him actually having an elite knowledge of the strike zone and pitch recognition, though? I don't doubt his future ability in the plate discipline department, but I'm curious how many of his walks this year have been generated out of fear rather than his skill.

    So, curious question for someone who can figure it out easier than I could... if all other teams continued to play at their current pace, how good would the Cubs need to play in order to reach the 2nd wild card by the end of the season?
  9. Clem Fandango
    Yes please. Would be nice to try and weasel Bethancourt away but probably no chance the Braves would want to move him.

    Not hot. Butchy. Blonde, white chick who acted like she wanted to be a black dude, but is now married to a black guy. Really weird. It must've been a gift from Zambrano

    Then what was Gonzalez's excuse? http://bit.ly/1qfg9hK http://i.imgur.com/ZNV4onc.gif

    People go with Boras a lot of the time to get the most money, but he also needs to listen to what his client wants, and if Kris Bryant tells him "I'm open to signing an extension with the Cubs" Boras isn't going to say "No, you need to wait until FA and make them get into a bidding war", he's going to negotiate an extension with the Cubs. This whole "Boras client, no way he signs an extension" talk that I've seen a lot recently is silly, IMO. He's not impervious to making early extensions, he's just going to make sure he can extract the most amount of money out of a team in the process. That Gonzalez example is good because it shows a) he was willing to do it and b) it was a fair contract for both sides. $70 million is a [expletive] load of money for a guy who put up one and a half great seasons. And it's a great price for a team who got a budding superstar on a long term deal. Boras wont be allowing any Longoria type extensions, but he won't be ruling any extensions out either. Actually the Gonzalez one would probably be a good measuring stick for what Bryant could command if he puts up a big year next year, and I'd be happy to have the Cubs give him something like that in that scenario.

    I still am kind of in disbelief that he's a member of the Cub organization. 11 home runs in a month and a half, as one of the youngest players in a pitcher's league. And he's a shortstop. We have effectively been anesthetized to the pains of any fan who follows a normal minor league organization. It's never been like this before. It may never be like this again. When this wears off, reality is going to hit and hit hard. But the major league team will be good which will be 10x better. Raisin is gonna be so lonely here :(

    Can we attribute Matusz's failures as a starter to the O's decree of not allowing cutters as well? Or did they not do that until after he had been moved form the rotation? Pretty crazy how highly regarded he was as a prospect an how abysmal he was as a starter. ALways thought he'd be an awesome reclamation

    Nice play, Watkins

    The WGN broadcast just agreed with you. I am convinced that either Len or the producers monitor this board. Or he's watching it on live TV and we're watching it on delayed MLB.TV

    Probably something Orioles fans do It was started when the O's were playing in Memorial Stadium in Balmer. There was this cab driver named Wild Bill Hagy who used to sit in the upper deck down right field. He was a pretty rugged character and yelled stuff all game. He led them in 'O' during the anthem and then later on would try to spell out 'Orioles' using his arms and legs. The O's used to play 'Thank God I'm a Country Boy' by John Denver during the 7th inning stretch. Hagy would dance on the O's dugout and then do the 'Orioles' act. Hagy's gone and I don't know if they still do John Denver. Mr. Sunshine on my God Damn Shoulders John Denver.

    top-50 for pitcher RA9-WAR since hitting the bigs in '12, ahead of guys like Samardzija, Ervin Santana, CJ Wilson i'm a fan Sweet, lets get him out of Baltimore and teach him a cutter
