    When they have Braun in the lineup I think they have an okay (probably league averageish, maybe a tick better) lineup.

    Of course [tweet] [/tweet]

    I'm giving McKinney the benefit that he's still coming back from that knee injury/surgery and that this early on it is still kind of his spring to get things clicking.
  4. Cubswin11
    I wonder if he finally committed to lengthening his stride, iirc Law is always harping about that with him. He usually has a short stride towards home that Law thinks hurts him and the few times he's lengthened it he's had positive results but just hasn't been able to do it consistently.

    These Cardinals fans the D'Backs broadcast keeps showing are horsefeathering creatures

    There might be a HS team in America with better defense than the Cardinals

    Was just looking at the Smokies page on Fangraphs with the Young talk, my god that lineup must grind pitchers to a pulp. Rademacher, Caratini, Young, Zagunis and Jeimer all have BB% rates over 16% and McKinney is at 11%.

    They didn't mention any specific numbers but on the Effectively Wild pod the other day they were saying that pitcher's velo is typically lower in April and goes up as the season goes along. They didn't say by how much on average or how long it takes to stabilize, however. Got it. That makes sense especially in both of Harvey and deGrom's cases where they have missed some time in spring/this year already that they are a bit behind and may not be 100% ready to go yet. Thought it was interesting at least, especially in deGrom's case, 3 MPH is significant.

    Looking through Fangraphs.... Both Harvey and deGrom have some velo red flags. DeGrom is down ~3 MPH across the board on all his pitches from last year and Harvey is down anywhere from 1.5-2 MPH on all his pitches. Probably too early in the year to take too much away from but it's something to keep and eye on over the next month or so to see if they regain some velo from their early season starts.

    Wasn't Gordo one of the idiots propagating the whole "Maybe Theo shouldn't be extended/change is a good thing" narrative?
  11. Cubswin11
    Not that I think he'd be getting votes here, but looking at the names on the list and not seeing Dillon Maples, is he not even a thing anymore?
  12. Cubswin11
    It's all smoke and mirrors, he'll have an ERA around 5 by June
  13. Cubswin11
    Bryce Harper is a golden god
  14. Cubswin11
    We set the GAB record for most runs scored in a series this weekend, according to Thom
  15. Cubswin11
    Thom now showing his misunderstanding of player control/FA, saying "in only a few years the rubber will meet the road with these young players and we will see who they can keep."
  16. Cubswin11
    Didn't they have a ridiculous year by their rotation that year? Including like Arroyo or Latos or someone?
  17. Cubswin11
    I would think Rondon pitches the 9th? He hasn't pitched since the Cardinals series and there's an off day tomorrow so it's not like it would overly affect his availability in the coming home stand.
  18. Cubswin11
    I wonder if the Angels would make Richards available, he's someone I would give significant pieces up for. I'd prefer him to Gray assuming the asking prices were similar.
  19. Cubswin11
    He's been absolutely dominant
  20. Cubswin11
    I'm really hoping for that too, on top of hopefully keeping him a little fresher by letting Warren get a few spot starts to give him extra rest.
  21. Cubswin11
    I'll allow Harper to take Jorge's/Schwarber's spot
  22. Cubswin11
    I have the Reds feed on, it's weird, he's been blabbering for a few minutes on it. I have no idea what kind of point he thought he was making but it was pretty much nonsense, I'm sure he thought it was a profound idea.
  23. Cubswin11
    I wish he'd mix in his get me over curve a bit more just because he throws the FB SO much to change the hitters eye level/speed
  24. Cubswin11
    I hope she got all the worthwhile assets in the divorce and he's still paying her some form of alimony to this day
  25. Cubswin11
    First half Hammel, hopefully
