  1. I mean his first AB tonight he smoked one in the air to RF
  2. What the hell, the ball is carrying tonight like its the first week of the season
  3. I hope they work for him mostly for the fact he'd be one of my favorite trade targets this offseason if he can come back. Which is likely wishful thinking for more reasons than one.
  4. Yeah, no to either of these I most definitely did not just come up with that Almora opinion on 70 PAs, but they do contain the same slap happy no walk, no pop offensive game he's shown throughout the minors that we can expect at the ML level. As opposed to the pop heavy .633 OPS Heyward has or Pompey's .708 in AAA being older and repeating? They're [expletive] mashers. Well Almora is going to have to put up a .350+ BABIP along with a low-mid teens k% rate with his offensive profile to put up even a remotely decent slash line
  5. Well this a frustrating start offensively. 3 straight hard hit balls for outs
  6. Made him throw nearly 30 pitches and other than Russell it didn't seem like anyone really did anything great
  7. #GodModeGM
  8. Interesting stance from the guy who played a cumulative -.8 fWAR Jeter over his last 2 seasons
  9. It seems he tends to get Javys defense in the lineup for Hammel and Hendricks starts
  10. Wow [tweet] [/tweet]
  11. I would imagine this is most of the players response when asked about Tommy http://theculturalgutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/don-500x280.jpg
  12. No disco parties for the seal once he gets back up until the World Series is punishment enough
  13. What was our longest winning streak last year? I know we at least got to 9 but I don't remember if it got past that.
  14. Someone posted this in the general Cubs thread recently.... http://www.cubsmagicnumber.com/ I think after the weekend Cardinals series we should get a formal magic number thread up. Should have the magic number in the mid-low 30s and a double digit lead
  15. http://www.aux.tv/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/party-hard.gif
  16. I'm not even mad, I'm impressed how bad the Reds bullpen is
  17. I'd also find it highly unlikely with our FO and Joe that they didn't sit him down and have a good talk with him about the reasoning of the move and assured him he has a role. I doubt he just showed up to the park one day and found his locker cleared out with a megabus ticket to Iowa leaving in an hour. But he's surely acting like the latter happened or is just a horsefeathering idiot that the former likely happened and he couldn't get it through his stupid seal brain.
  18. Wait, Yadi slid feet first into 1B last night after his walk off HBP?!? I can only imagine the BFIBs takes if an opponent did that to them
  19. Wacha was scheduled to pitch vs us this weekend, so are we gonna get the opportunity to dong this dude to death in his ML debut or is he going to the bullpen?
  20. Rosenthal and Heyman both tweeted that Fielder is being declared 'medically disabled' and unable to play as opposed to retirement, so that's why he's still going to get paid. Half his remaining money is apparently being covered by insurance, so the Rangers aren't being completely left up a creek. I think the Tigers are responsible for paying some of his contract too.
  21. wouldn't Grimm be the one pouting? Fixed
  22. Can you imagine the media outrage if Puig was pulling this same crap LaStella is with his AAA assignment?
  23. Grimm going back down to make room for Hammel coming off bereavement list. No word if Grimm is going to just go home and pout or not.
