  1. yeah maybe if we sign one generational talent we can finally topple the brewers I, for one, am sick of the Brewers winning the Central year after year
  2. I didn't. Oh, that's all they have to do? I'm joking with you about the twisted logic, but a 60 hr difference between 2017 and 2018 undoubtedly would keep you out of quite a few. Bryant makes up for the largest chunk of those, but not all, maybe not even 1/2.
  3. Just as likely(if not more so), things that are inherent to high leverage situations are disadvantageous to Schwarber. He's more likely to draw a lefty reliever, he's more likely to draw a power pitcher(which he's historically not done as well against), things like that. One of the few dudes on this team that can dong is a strict platoon player who sucks in high pressure situations and whose value is arguably inflated by unexpected/likely unreliable defensive ability. This team is some kind of insanity test. Well yea, when you twist the logic around like that its scary as hell. On the other hand, the dude can hit baseballs onto the top of Wrigley fields scoreboard. Maybe the key here is to hit more homeruns, aka ditch the chili. Win by 7 runs and stay out of those high leverage situations that cost you the game. +, im guessing we all will benefit in the reduced stress
  4. Thats because it would be more like “ Javy Baez has no idea who the new coach is, says he thinks his name is Larry. Promptly hits 3 hrs”
  5. What do you mean why did they throw it there? The Pirates took the gamble that Almora couldnt hit the horsefeathering ball in his sweetspot and they lost. He got JUUUUST enough of it
  6. He did the Guiterrez but the wrong results
  7. Im going to be there and I was really hoping for a nice, relaxed drunken end of a div title run multiple day celebration. Instead, i get MAX stress
  8. I take back everything i thought about Almora
  9. 2015 Heyward plz just in time for playoffs
  10. not only are we going to win, but we are going to DONG the pirates season to death
  11. Theory: most starters like to start a game with a strike. There is a high likely hood the first pitch of the game will be a FB Now heres the kicker: Almora happens yo be offensively good at one thing: hitting fastballs Proposition: tell Almora to swing at the first pitch he sees while leading off Have you not seen Almora play this year? I try not to. I try to look the other way
  12. or, it could quite possibly be that I need the Quaaludes to continue watching this season die
  13. I want my sports heros to be superhuman dammit They should be on all the PEDs they can get their hands on
  14. I want my sports heros to be superhuman dammit
  15. I'm glad I never really like Addison all that much
  16. if we hadn't been coming into the season with 3 consecutive 90+ win seasons, I can understand this. But given that we have had recent, sustained success it seems like the pythag is right.
  17. Theory: most starters like to start a game with a strike. There is a high likely hood the first pitch of the game will be a FB Now heres the kicker: Almora happens yo be offensively good at one thing: hitting fastballs Proposition: tell Almora to swing at the first pitch he sees Result: 4-3 groundout Its our only chance
