I like Russ and he’s amazing but if Lonzo is as good as they they think don’t know if he was a great fit there. Lebron, George, Jimmy, Boogie, etc all are better fits as FA additions, imo. this may be true but it's still funny that lakers fans cling to this idea that FA's are dying to sign there when they've been missing on every legit target for years good for russ and OKC though i hope they can keep their core together They were run like a dumpster fire and as long as Kobe was there on the end of his career nobody really wanted to go there and have to deal with him and not winning. That’s changing now, as they are collecting good talent and are being run and coached a lot better. I’d be very shocked if they don’t end up with a premier FA in one of the next 2 years of FA classes.

Seems like Quintana has had some starts like this, this year. Just falls in to bad BABIP luck, lots of soft contact finding holes

this is like the complete opposite impression i have of donaldson I remember last year or the year before when they got in fights like every other day it seemed with teams over the dumbest things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AG2phc4iQ8

Donaldson is a horsefeathering douche, his personality would fit right in there
-
Supposedly he's going to start. Update: Alright, just sweep the Nats so we don’t need to use him and give him like 2 weeks off before he needs to start a NLCS game
-
Send the C squad back out tomorrow, what’s the worst that can happen? Billy Hamilton only gets on base 3 times?
-
Irrelevant since 2015
-
So awesome, go home ya garbage organization
-
Sometimes my eyes are as bad as Tommy Phams watching games
-
His bad judgement though is when he’s already put himself in good counts. He’s not like Javy where it’s just hacks, like he’s working himself to 2-2, 3-2 counts. Then he hacks, which is a coin flip at that point
-
Well, well, well

Lance Lynn is a bum and whoever gives up a pick to give him a 8 or 9 figure deal is going to regret it
-
It might depend on the starter for the Cubs. I think absolutely start Contreras if its Lester. If its Jake or Kyle, you lean heavily in Willy's direction....you at least consider Avila if its Quintana. Maybe more reason to start Quintana since it may tilt the offensive advantage and doesn't overly affect the pitching advantage?? Also, not that Willy would've started tonight anyways but Avila catching Hendricks.
-
Good point. Zobrist/Jay/Heyward OF, Bryant/Russell/LaStella/Rizzo INF, Avila catching is probably what I’d do. Schwarbs/Happ seem to struggle with velo and Happ (tho many do) with Scherzer’s breaking stuff. I was just going to mention the velocity thing. It seems like the consensus is that La Stella handles it pretty well so it wouldn't surprise me a bit if he was in the lineup game 1. Didn't Joe do that last year too at one point? Not last year but he started in 2015 in the WC vs Cole and I believe maybe one of the NLCS games vs Syndergaard or Harvey.
-
Yeah Seal Boy is gonna start and it better be at 2B his defense is most tolerable there, imo.
-
So do you sit Javy with Zobrist at 2B and 3 of Schwarber/Happ/Jay/Heyward in the OF? Do you dare start Avila over Willy, especially/assuming it’s a not Lester start and you don’t need the elite defense? I'd deal with Sealboy's defense and get him in somewhere Good point. Zobrist/Jay/Heyward OF, Bryant/Russell/LaStella/Rizzo INF, Avila catching is probably what I’d do. Schwarbs/Happ seem to struggle with velo and Happ (tho many do) with Scherzer’s breaking stuff.

Now when we don’t like what people are saying we just change the conversation with GIFs
-
So Martin or Rivera over Lackey? I would generally agree, but with Jake and Lester as question marks I could see going 12 with Lackey as a safety valve. Montgomery is the safety valve imo. I hate that, he should be used in leverage spots. Not as a emergency starter/long guy if someone can’t get out of the 2nd or 3rd. He should be used like Andrew Miller last year.

I mean, the only way that Jake and Lester don't at least start a game is if they get hurt beforehand, which is extremely unlikely. If you're worried they don't last long, Lackey doesn't help very much with that. And Lackey out of the pen isn't going to be much different than using Montgomery. EDIT: Plus you can simply make one of them the Game 4 starter where you have the option of bringing Game 1-2 starters back on short rest. I’m not saying have Lackey for long relief, I’m saying it sounds like they might not even know until the day of the game how healthy Arrieta is/how he’s feeling and it would be nice to have Lackey as an option to start if Jake just isn’t there. I’d also take a Lackey on rest start over any of our guys on short rest.
