    None of the relievers can get ahead in the count
  2. Tryptamine
    The offense completely shut things down the last 4 innings.
  3. Tryptamine
    Tauchmann calling out he doesn't see it, Happ with his back to the ball instead of coming over to help.

    This got me thinking, it's really weird that the Cubs have basically had no hall of famers, who will enter the hall of fame as a Cub and also played for the Cubs in the last nearly 30 years. Sammy Should but he wont, Maddux didn't wear the Cub hat and none of the 2016 squad is going to the hof. Lester is probably the closest and he'd definitely be wearing a Red Sox cap. Is Ryne Sandberg seriously the one who played most recently ending in career in 1997. This seems like a crazy long time.

    That's why I'm open to dealing him in the offseason if a team with a pitching surplus is enamored with him. There just isn't a history of guys having sustained success while striking out a third of the time. If he could play decent defense absolutely keep him, but when nearly all his value comes from his bat, that's far too scary a scenario for me to rely on him as a long term fixture. If the Mariners said hey, we like Morel, what else would you package with him for Logan Gilbert, I'd happily pack Chris's bags.

    While looking up ROY winners, I had no idea that the Dodgers had 5 ROY winners in a row. That is absolutely incredible. 1992: Eric Karros 1993: Mike Piazza 1994: Raul Mondesi 1995: Hideo Nomo 1996: Todd Hollandsworth The Dodgers also had a stretch of 4 in a row 1979: Rick Sutcliffe 1980: Steve Howe 1981: Fernando Valenzuela 1982: Steve Sax No other NL team has more than 2 in a row.

    I saw the thing about how they tracked how many hours he had done of film study on this tablet and he had watched literally zero hours. He was living off natural ability and put zero work in. That doesn't work in the NFL where everyone is supremely gifted and they work hard.
  8. Tryptamine
    Yes, I enjoyed the WBC, but I don't want it to have anything to do with the regular season.
  9. Tryptamine
    At this point Shaw has put a pretty big gap between himself and the #4 prospect in the system.
  10. Tryptamine
    I'm in total agreement. This feels like the WBC, only it actually effects the regular season.
  11. Tryptamine
    Matt Shaw sporting the .378/.410/.703 slash through 39 PAs, good for a 205 wRC+. Is that good? I think that might be good.
  12. Tryptamine
    Imagine the furor when he throws an incomplete pass and the world might just implode if he throws an INT, because every pass must be perfect regardless of result.
  13. Tryptamine
    The bat certainly looks the part. I wonder if he opens next year in AA. That would give him an ETA of early 2025 if things go well.
  14. Tryptamine
    It fascinates me that Fields can go 3-3 for 129 yards and 2 TDs and you can still only focus on a negative, that wasn't even that negative in the first place.
  15. Tryptamine
    Returning to the topic of team owners being total scumbags, the Orioles 's lease ends in December and to agree to New terms Angelos has made several demands. 1, he wants 900m instead of the previously discussed 600m for stadium renovations. 2, he wants the land around the stadium either given to him or highly subsidized so he can create something similar to Atlanta. Basically he wants what Ricketts did to the stadium/neighborhood, but he has the balls to ask the taxpayers to cover it all. I wonder what that must be like to have other people give you money so you can increase your revenue streams?
  16. Tryptamine
    Didn't you know, the only touchdowns that count for Fields are strikes thrown into tight coverage. Screens, rushes, etc. don't matter.
  17. Tryptamine
    He's quite a bit bigger than I thought, he's also decisive and hits the hole hard.
  18. Tryptamine
    It sure feels like the DBs are being very aggressive going for the ball
  19. Tryptamine
    I didn't realize Ebner was still around. Why would he get touches over Roschon Johnson?
  20. Tryptamine
    When you have a 91 wRC+ on a .641 babip with a 48.6 K% at this level at age 21, you better be careful or your career might be real brief.
  21. Tryptamine
    Absolute waste of a 3rd round pick
  22. Tryptamine
    Fields is probably done, right?
  23. Tryptamine
    The downfield blocking has been absolutely excellent
  24. Tryptamine
    The offense is really showing out
  25. Tryptamine
    Preseason so it doesn't mean a whole lot, but this defense, especially the dline, looks bad.
