Nice job getting to that one by Soler -
BABIP!
-
DOUBLE PLUS HANDS
-
Edwards is stretched out enough to go multiple innings if needed, right?
-
Hendricks doesn't look too bad, got a little unlucky on ball/strike calls in the first ab and then got a weak grounder in the 2nd ab. Hopefully things get settled down
-
Neither were a strike by k-zone but strike 2 and ball 4 were the same pitch/spot.

Heyward is close to OPS'ing 1.000+ for a month +
-
Who cares?
-
Maybe they're in on it too to horsefeathers around with Rondon
-
I hope the Cubs offense is putting 5% of their income this year into an account assigned to Rondon after the year for what they are going to cost him in arbitration
-
Also names Teheran, Archer, Moore, and Odorizzi So basically every SP who's been in a rumor since winter who hasn't gotten hurt? Got it
-
I hope Lester is purposely pitching to contact here due to the conditions or else he is not looking good
-
That's good to see Heyward going the other way/up the middle and not rolling over that pitch
-
Dusty probably uses them as visual aids for a fishing analogy that makes no sense
-
.251 is really low and likely not sustainable, going back to 2010 (as far back as I cared to look on Fangraphs) only 1 team has finished below .270 and that was the 2011 Rays at .265 but it looks like about 3 teams a year on average in the time period finished in the .270s. So there's about a .020-.030 correction we should be expecting if we are a merely very good but not great team. If we are a historically great team maybe that only corrects by .010-.015.

They showed him picking at his fingers in the dugout after the Nats start. We know he had a blister earlier in the season. I wonder if he's still having some kind of issue with a finger, where he's not getting the grip he wants. I'm guessing there's nothing overly wrong, but even if he has some lingering blister problem or something similar they should just skip a start for him with the start we've gotten out to and just let Cahill/Richard/Wood do a piggy back start.

Apparently it's similar to the Scherzer contract, $15 million a year for the 7 years of the actual contract then 7 years of deferral payments of $10 million a year. So the actual value of the contract comes in around the high 150s-low 160s I believe.
-
My question is basically: when you're an actual statistical outlier like the Cubs seem to be, how much does that play into the equation? About as close to absolute zero as possible
-
A 90s Yankees run is too much to expect I think but a 2000s Cardinal/Red Sox run is a reasonable target to set.
-
Buy Murphy's for 10 cents on the dollar, tear it down and erect a shrine for the trophy and banner on the site
-
Have they laid out any sort of plan/milestones for him? Like when he could/should start running or riding a bike, hitting balls of a tee, etc? Obviously it's major surgery so I'm guessing that's months away yet. Also would it be out of the question for him to play winter ball this year, if health permits?
-
Yes
