  1. I see a bit of DeRosa in him. DeRosa was better on defense and more athletic. I mean I haven't watched Bote enough to be absolutely sure, but I remember DeRosa was very good defensively at 2B and 3B. Bote started at SS the other night, I don’t think he really is projected to be more than an emergency back up SS at the ML level but I think he’s plenty athletic.
  2. How deep was Bader playing that he got to that?
  3. I like him and liked his approach when he was up. He seems like a 2nd division starter or bench player on a good team. If Happ doesn’t get it going I wouldn’t mind Bote coming up for him while Happ gets reset in Iowa. I see a bit of DeRosa in him. I made that same comp in a game thread while he was up. I think it’s a pretty solid one.
  4. He's 5-5 on the day. Bote is legit in my mind. I think he could start at second for some teams. He didn't look great in his short time with the Cubs, but he looked WAY better than Zagunis. I like him and liked his approach when he was up. He seems like a 2nd division starter or bench player on a good team.

  5. That was bad but he had 2 hits yesterday and another hard hit out or 2. He’s been getting better lately. We've been hearing this all year. I'm concerned about his lack of power. I wouldn’t say I’m concerned but the lack of power certainly is frustrating. All of his harder hit balls seem to be up the middle/RF too (which isn’t a bad thing necessarily) but I can’t remember him hitting a lot of balls hard to the pull side (which is where you’d assume the HR power would come from).

  7. Why did they even start this horsefeathering game if they have the tarp out already?
  8. KB is the most unclutch bum in history of unclutch bums
  9. If they kept that group together they would have gone to multiple NBA Finals. It's weird looking back, but the way they used Harden was less than optimal by bringing him off the bench to play with the second unit. He wasn't really a starter during his time with the Thunder. Also, the 'Big 3' for the Thunder looked like it was going to be Durant, Westbrook and Ibaka. Ibaka was a great defender with an improving outside shot before he started regressing. It was a massive blunder on the Thunder's part for breaking up that incredible triumvirate, but I didn't think Harden was this good or ever capable of winning an MVP. Sidenote: This is a fitting punishment for how they screwed over the city of Seattle and Supersonics fans. Seattle deserves an NBA team. They wouldn't have been able to afford to keep that team together long term They could’ve kept Durant, Harden and Westbrook. Their owners didn’t want to pay the penalties though by re-signing Harden since it would’ve put them in the LT to extend Harden so they traded him.
  10. And we haven’t played a team under .500 in over a month. They’ve had time to get fat on the bottom of the league and we are still basically right there with them. 9 of our next 13 games are against the Marlins, Reds and White Sox. Hopefully we get 6 or 7 of those 9 games.
  11. He needs to stop being an idiot and getting out of his crouch early on balls around the zone
  12. I went golfing today and didn’t watch any of the game because #WeAreGood and don’t care about meaningless games in May. See you in the playoffs and after a 3rd straight division title.
  13. Weaver looks like an extra from the meth biker bar in True Detective season 1
  14. They're about to get busted by the great pine tar scandal of 2018 and go down in history the way of the Black Sox.
  15. As Duke's proxy going back to last year, it really isn't as bad as it seems. Duke'ster is too busy galavanting around the minor league system right now to care or be worried about anything involving the MLB team other than how many games above 90 they win.
