Cole is the man today. Hat tip.
-
That might be the one time in history that the behind home plate view wasn't 100 percent awful.
-
I noticed that too, but they're never going to be able to make every West Coast trip make perfect sense. True. It would be cool if it could always be one long trip to play LA, San Fran and San Diego and then another for Arizona and Colorado, but everyone would like that I suppose.
-
I don't get the upcoming trip. Why San Fran in between two from the Midwest?
-
Wrong guy to put on first.
-
I feel like Bryant beat out all of those last year. He's older now, though.
-
That one wasn't as funny.
-
Joe Maddon said points the other day. I was surprised.
-
I would. There are very few chinks in the armor with this team. I fear someone at some point this season is going to go all Cards/Tigers World Series on Lester. I think a team is going to do this every time they face Lester and they never do. The Cubs have done a good job making things difficult by having Baez play third and Ross help try to control the running game, but the Pirates seem like they have enough speed and bunting ability (just talking out of my ass on the bunting part) to pretty much bunt right in front of Lester and watch him stand there.
-
I think you can feel good that it won't be.
-
He won't be, but that's not his fault With his improved discipline, if the power keeps up, it will be a good race between him, Bryant, Rizzo, Heyward, and Arrieta. I like the confidence that the Cubs get Arrieta signed.
-
I'm not saying Scott Boras doesn't do early team friendly extensions to buy out free agency but horsefeathers. I didn't know he was his agent. horsefeathers.
-
Russell would be a cool candidate to sign to an extension after this season where we buy out a few years of free agency.
-
That would be cool if they'd eject him.
-
I knew it was gone right away based on the crowd reaction.
-
He can keep it for now.
-
Hayward? Yes, Hayward. You know, that guy we signed away from St. Louis ?? I think he's saying its Heyward. Maybe.
-
I realize Arietta's not so sharp is still like All-Star good, but has he been as good since the no-hitter, when all the PED and contract talk took over?
-
That and I'm quite sure he probably didn't have to throw back the real one. In this instance, he did, which is why it became a topic of discussion. They were watching the replay to determine if it was the actual ball or not. Gotcha. Hopefully, the kid doesn't give into peer pressure all his life. That said, I'd have kept it only because it was from Cutch. He's a good enough player and former MVP that it would have been cool enough to put on the shelf and point out how that was career homer number whatever for him.

You should be suspended for this post, damn it.
-
I forget Hammel can be that guy who suddenly gives up four runs and throws 40 pitches and then gets pissed when he gets pulled. Don't be that guy.
-
I guess Soler not getting the guys over is OK. They would have put Russell on, maybe.
-
I'm a fan who can appreciate a good offense without asking for a dong every at-bat, but I'll admit dongs are pretty fun to look at.

The best thing about good players is that usually they turn out to be good. And then when they were bad at the beginning and turn out to be like good, then people forget all about how they were worried that the good player was going to be bad forever. See the board for Lester, Jon at the beginning of last season. Yet, many repeat this vicious cycle.
