  1. Good win, Dex carries the offense in his first game back.
  2. He's really start to make my faith in him waver. He needs to just go out and pound the strike zone, if they get hits so be it, but don't give them free passes.
  3. looks like cream cheese, you can kind of see the dimples from the packaging.
  4. Fastball down almost 1.5mph, K/9 down almost a full 3, Contact rate up nearly 8%. Right now would be a really scary time to invest.
  5. SD continues their crazy international spending spree by signing Jorge Ona to a 7M deal. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/07/padres-sign-jorge-ona-seven-million.html
  6. Honestly, I'm kinda thinking Pries might just be an older, slightly more advanced version of Blackburn. Pretty much. Guys who are 5s in a perfect world and in all likelihood middle inning relievers.
  7. I want Lee between them, but both are some solid names James Paxton is also currently at AAA. I'd like him. I suspect the price tag is high. With the new velocity the potential is huge.
  8. Kind of hoping it's Cody Martin coming back to the Cubs if indeed a AAA pitcher is coming here.
  9. Honestly I'd be surprised if one of Montgomery/matusz didn't have Hammel's gig next year and the Cubs took the 10M saved and spent it elsewhere. I'd have preferred Paxton, but I'm sure the price was much higher.
  10. For everyone that realizes that Vogelbach is a fat DH who has only shown power once he got to the Pacific Coast League, a big, youngish lefty arm that was once one of the top pitching prospects in baseball, that can flip back and forth from the pen and start maybe, with tons of years of control left... it's a nice return. I would gamble there is a very significant chance he's tried out as a starter to start 2017.
  11. It doesn't have the flash of Miler, but it certainly didn't have the price tag either. I like it.
  12. God it really would have been nice to pull that game out last night.
  13. Taking 2 out of 3 against Tex and NYM to start the 2nd half would be a fantastic start.
  14. Probably not the best idea to say you think a guy could hit 50HR and then offer a reliever in return for him.
  15. Cameron is underestimating the potential of the situation. This is essentially one corporation look at the trade secrets of the other. That kind of information is potentially business crippling. If Pepsi finds out Coke is rolling out new drink in January and they beat them to market with their own version in December, that could cost Coke hundreds of millions of dollars.
  16. Sure would have been nice if this would have happened before they just had a really good draft class. Anyways, take their 2017 draft and INTL period away and I'm happy. Should be at least that much, based on how hard Boston got hit.
  17. I am just completely unable to tell how far a ball is going off Heyward's bat.
  18. 3-1 count and a pop out to 3B is the result, bleh.
  19. I haven't looked it up or anything, but it feels like double plays have been pretty rare over the last few weeks. I know there's been a number of attempts, but not a lot of successful ones.
  20. So apparently he's going to implode every other inning.
  21. Following tonight's obliteration of the White Sox with a line of 9IP 6H 0ER 0BB 13K, I'd like to once again vote for seeing what it costs to pick up Matt Shoemaker. His contact levels are down across the board, 1st strike is up and swings are up across the board as well.
