Javy Tags will always be fun. -
Ridiculous. horsefeathers you, blue.

Honestly, I would hate the Pirates even if they weren't in our division and had a history with us. They've started many a beanball war by being upset that their guys unintentionally get hit with pitches. And they've done this while their pitchers continually lead the league in hit batters. They literally base their whole pitching philosophy off of pitching inside. And then they act indignant when it happens to them.

We aren't complaining about him doing it. It just reminded us that we hate the Pirates. We kinda forgot that because they suck and #wearegood. But their players have this inferiority complex with us. And we had forgiven them until we got back in the ring and remembered how douchy they are. cervelli and cole are dumb, but the pirates are pretty low on my hate list. i kind of feel sorry for them that they're stuck in our division. It goes much deeper than that. We've already rattled off a pretty extensive list, and there is a lot more. Do you not remember them hitting Jake with a pitch in a playoff game? Or Rodriguez going insane?

I don't think the DP was a given. I'm good with going for the lead runner. Are you still?
-
Yeah, I can't believe the people here who are all about bat flips are complaining about it. He made a great play. We aren't complaining about him doing it. It just reminded us that we hate the Pirates. We kinda forgot that because they suck and #wearegood. But their players have this inferiority complex with us. And we had forgiven them until we got back in the ring and remembered how douchy they are.

That's a strike 'em out, throw 'em out DP.
-
Remember when Josh Harrison sang "No cubs no," after winning for the first time in, like, 9 tries against the Cubs earlier this year? Or when Gerrit Cole said he didn't think we were the best team in the league. Or when Sean Rod went insane? Yeah, horsefeathers these guys.
-
So, about Hendricks starting Game 1...
-
Maybe Brault was hoping that Jake would keep fouling off fastballs to artificially inflate his pitch so he wouldn't have to face our actual hitters any more?
-
Eh... I thought it was a Ding Dong Johnson. But I'll take it.
-
Horrible.
-
I thought that was crushed off the bat.
-
What's that now? Rich Tom Ricketts?
-
RTR?
-
Ah hell

there goes derwood commenting on stuff without reading/knowing stuff again he's definitely a weirdo and has always been one Is he saying this stuff in some forum I don't read like the minor leagues or amateur baseball? Can you cite some examples? I feel like I'm missing out on some good weirdness The minor league forum has basically turned into his own private www.creedthoughts.gov.www\creedthoughts

Yeah, having a fear of the playoffs, specific to being afraid of the playoffs is fine. Having a fear of any certain team, or stadium, or whatever is silly. Having a fear of playing this Dodgers team is really silly. The team that "scares" me the most is the Nationals, because they are the clear second best team in the NL. And Scherzer + Strasburg is scary. Though, it looks like Dusty may have killed Strasburg, so maybe there isn't really any team to fear.

A glut of young position depth, what to do in 2017?

Foiled by an exact quote yet again! Literally: -

Almora's bat stinks, so let's go out and get Aaron Hicks. -
Heavens forbid this offensive juggernaut has a couple of off games Ski flat out makes me root for a Cubs loss. He's THAT awful. It's as if every baseball game he watches is his first.
-
These guys suck. The only concern with them is if Kershaw is back, healthy, and pitching well, which seems unlikely. Also, our offense plays well pretty much anywhere. We don't really rely on home runs, anyway. Take them away. The only two guys whose power really matters are Rizzo and Bryant, and they have the power to go deep anywhere. Hitting homers ranks as like Thing #22 that we do well. We are much better at other things, like getting on base, and relying on our pitchers inducing weak contact heading out to our historically great defense.

Perplexing is putting it mildly, to put it mildly.
-
So, according to UZR, Addi's apparently saved 4.7 runs in his last two games. He is now at 11.8 runs saved. This ranks third in UZR among shortstops, behind Lindor and Crawford. That puts him at 3.8 fWAR, which moves him above Bogaerts, and among the elite-tier shortstops. The UZR guys clearly took my haranguing to heart and rectified this matter by retroactively assigning correct value on past plays.

There is no drawback to this. I hope he is so good that he is worth a billion dollars by the time he hits free agency.
