    Just for funsies

    Boy, it's a good thing that 2nd wild card goes to the team with the best home attendance.

    I had to Google him because I thought Luis Castillo retired ages ago.

    18 of Javy's 27 hits this season are for extra bases

    I wish Joe would let Kyle hit against lefties more often. Didn't Schwarber put in a ton of work in the offseason to hit lefties better?

    Definitely has an elitist air surrounding it. "Are you Grayson Padgett?" "The THIRD, my dear boy"

    Current NL Ranks: 7th in ISO (.283; Baez 1st, who is best in the majors) 9th in BB% (17.2%; best on team) 10th in wOBA (.417; Baez and Bryant are 3rd and 5th in NL) 10th in OPS (.972; Baez 2nd, Bryant 5th) 13th in OBP (.406; Bryant 2nd)

    OPS after this game: 1.113 Slugging a cool .742 Dude is off the charts good right now

    I know he has the reputation of being a prodigious power hitter, but he's 37 and had a .674 OPS last year and was worth negative WAR in both versions of it. If I recall he was trying to get a modest to high contract in the 3-4 year $50-$75 mil range. That horsefeathers ain't happening. Feel bad for him. He didn't really put it together until he was reaching 30 and he signed a contract extension before FA which totally screwed him out of more money. I think he would've hit FA at 32 or 33 when he was still hitting tons of homers. Probably would've gotten a huge pay day.

    I remember being envious of the O's farm system in the late 2000's. Of course, their stellar pitching prospects never really panned out because their player development is hot garbage, but at the time I thought their farm system was going to put them in the hunt for the World Series year in and year out when they all made it up together.

    Spoiler alert: It's still us.

    Now who's laughing at Stearns for having 7 outfielders on his roster, huh?
  13. Clem Fandango
    I still long for the donging leviathan Javy we were expecting when he was in the minors, but this iteration of Javy is much more fun... And sustainable. Maybe this early power surge is him finally applying that power to the game he's developed. Probably not, but it'd be pretty nice.

    Not a cellar dweller this year! I used the clever at strategy of picking guys who actually hit home runs this time around

    My problem fitting into seats as a big dude isn't necessarily the seat as much as it is the immovable armrests. First I need to squeeze my fat ass between them with great pain and then when I sit down the arm rests are digging into my hips. [insertRayFinkleJoke] Same as on a plane. If there are adjustable armrests, I'm okay with squeezing my legs together for long periods of time.

    He's trotting like a show pony

    For anyone who hasn't been keeping up with the Gabe Kapler saga: https://bit.ly/2Hbg0dC https://deadspin.com/gabe-kaplers-cosmic-brain-is-putting-the-phillies-in-so-1824241350 It's genuine nightmare fuel for fans. One of my classmates is a Philly fan and she was asking me what I knew about their weird manager and why he was doing the things he was doing. I didn't know who it was our convo went like this: "It's a former player, I think he played for the Red Sox and he's weird" "Gabe Kapler?" "Yeah that sounds right" "Oh yeah, that dude made one of the greatest fail gifs of all time!" And I proceeded to show her this: http://cdn3.sbnation.com/imported_assets/1010059/kaplerftl.gif Hers was a cautious laughter. He's seriously going to get fired REAL quickly for REALLY qualifiable purposes.

    Another top pitching prospect, Triston McKenzie, is on the DL with forearm tightness

    Cubs: We're sorry, Tommy, but we've decided to designate you for assignment. TLS: What? Why? Am I not hitting well enough? Cubs: No, no, you're doing fine. It's your live stream views. You're not pulling in enough traffic.
  20. Clem Fandango
    But the farm system is bare, so we’re doomed. DOOMED Our 6-8 pitchers can't match up with anyone else in the league, either. STEEEAAARRRRNNNS!!!!!
  21. Clem Fandango
    His stance looks very much like Evan Longoria's. Looks like he's also leaving his back leg upright on his leg kick.
  22. Clem Fandango
    It will somehow look like a forkball coming out of his hand.

    Group A: Giancarlo Stanton Group B: Nolan Arenado, George Springer Group C: Bryce Harper, Kris Bryant, Carlos Correa Group D: Yoenis Cespedes, Ryan Braun, A.J. Pollock, Evan Gattis, Christian Yelich Wild Card: PM'd

    If the players want these machines, I don't know why teams wouldn't just give them to their players begin with. "Oh, you want this advanced pitching machine to make yourself better? Sorry kid, it's the offseason, do you know who owns this team?"
