    Chances that Almora and Russell are both in the line up tomorrow?
  2. Tryptamine
    Kimbrel escapes, but damn he really needs to get these walks under control.
  3. Tryptamine
    World's best tagger
  4. Tryptamine
    Thank you Tatis, not sure why you were bunting, but thank you.
  5. Tryptamine
    Implosion commencing
  6. Tryptamine
    Ok seriously, get him the horsefeathers out of this game.
  7. Tryptamine
    Russell and Almora having quite the day. They're both totally deserving of the starts they get.
  8. Tryptamine
    Looks like Almora leading off yet again and Schwarber continuing to sit. I'm completely over Maddon at this point.
  9. Tryptamine
    Very close to just writing him entirely off.
  10. Tryptamine
    Only 53 PAs, but a 28.3K% at short season A ball shouldn't be happening with an advanced bat.
  11. Tryptamine
    God I hope his arm stays attached, if he can throw in back to back days he'd be a great answer to the need for a lefty reliever this year and beyond.
  12. Tryptamine
    Yup, because the owners need even more money to line their pockets. We can't have the kids getting their actual market value or anything.
  13. Tryptamine
    Well when 53 MLB guys are on pace for 30+ HR in 2019 compared to 27 in 2018, I'm not even surprised anymore.
  14. Tryptamine
    So it has now been a full month since Rizzo last hit a HR and going all the back to June 1st his SLG is .438. I know the OBP is still there, but I'm starting to get a bit worried here.
  15. Tryptamine
    And Monty always wanted to be a starter...could be that the Cubs had made him some promises to try to get him somewhere that he could do that. [tweet] [/tweet] So basically it was a start me or trade me. Doesn't seem like a lot of layers to me.
  16. Tryptamine
    Him starting to finally hit well is a terrific thing in advance of trade season. I'm more interested in having a potential Almora replacement since the trade market is pretty much lacking in any interesting CFers not named Starling Marte.
  17. Tryptamine
    Unless Caratini is on the move or Contreras is primarily going to the OF I just don't get it at all. With as weak as this bench is already they simply can't afford to roster 3 catchers, especially when one is of the no hit variety. There's already enough offensive black holes. Not to mention that it was an overpay, but I don't particularly care about that since Montgomery was barely seeing the mound anyways.
  18. Tryptamine
    Tony Thomas and Jay Jackson were my guys back then. I thought they were both future studs.
  19. Tryptamine
    Heyward up to an .826 OPS, can't say I saw that coming this year.
  20. Tryptamine
    This Heyward makes me very happy.
  21. Tryptamine
    Yeah he has a fantastic FIP(2.86), but xFIP and SIERA don't like him nearly as much(3.75 and 3.80). He's actually giving up more Hard and Med contact this year than last, but his BB/9 is the best of his career(2.07). Having a very nice year, but not as nice as fWAR is showing.
  22. Tryptamine
    Castro is a really good comp. I'd expect a few more walks but that's not enough for me to quibble. Yeah I like a Starlin/Lemahieu (taking out some of the Coors inflation) type with more walks as a comp and also at least a little more versatile defensively. Lemahieu has been the high end comp I've been running with. A solid MLB regular with peak years that that sit in him the 3.5 to 4fWAR range.
  23. Tryptamine
    Yeah, like Nolan Gorman who I believe found himself at #20.
  24. Tryptamine
    Hopefully Strop and Kintzler go immediately on the market.
  25. Tryptamine
    Speaking of Gurriel, Yuli has been on a ridiculous tear too. Since June 23, a streak of 11 games and 49PA, he has put up a .400/.449/1.0167 line with 9HR.
