If Soler returns from injury and doesn't start, it's because Baez is at 3B and Bryant is in the OF. I don't think Jackson factors into that debate much. Why not? Jackson is a better baseball player than Soler. -
Back in the friendly confines; time to dong. Let's sweep these guys.

I really like this move for a lot of reasons. Several have already been pointed out: He's better than Denorfia; he can play center if something happens to Dexter, which can't really be said of anyone else worth a crap on our team; it's a low-risk move. But, also, his peripherals look to be in line with his career norms -- swing and contact rates are where they usually are. His batted-ball profile looks about normal, except he is pulling the ball more and hitting the ball on the ground more. So I am wondering how much playing in Seattle actually depressed his numbers offensively. Before he was traded last year, he was viewed quite highly around the league, as evidenced by what Seattle gave up to get him. He was worth nearly 4 wins a year from his rookie season, in 2010, through 2013. Regardless, he adds speed and defense, which could be nice to utilize in late-inning situations. He's a much better center fielder than Dexter, but even if they leave Dexter in center and have Jackson replace Coghlan/Soler in right, that is a huge upgrade. Really he is the perfect low-risk, late-August addition to this team. I was hoping we might go after him when I saw he passed through waivers. So I am pretty happy about this move.

That was awesome! I'm happy for Jake. And I can't wait to read Miggy's tweets.
-
Yep!

They made him leave before completing 5. I'm sorry that variance didn't go our way tonight, like it has about 10 times already this month.

Hmm... I wonder how the game thread is going? http://www.reactiongifs.us/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/fire_community.gif

Dong party tonight.

ARCubsFan will be thrilled.

That and the Giants just aren't a better team than us. They have some injured guys on offense, and their starting rotation is terrible. Also, they don't get to play us again, while we play both the Pirates and the Cardinals at least six times each. We can make up games quickly head-to-head.

Looks like you guys already have things covered from the optimism side.

Well, he managed to accumulate that HR/FB rate while pitching in Seattle, which is pretty impressive, really.
-
So business as usual for you.

You're gonna be shocked at what happened next He fixed the cable?

You mean like Jason Motte?
-
Oh god no. Why!?
-
We're 100% rooting for a Cardinals sweep now Hahahaha... this was more predictable than us losing a Dan Haren/Madison Bumgarner match-up.

The best is where he uses a derogatory term for homosexuals literally the next word after calling people bigots.

Can we send James Russell to wherever we send Dan Haren?
-
We are going to win this game. I still have faith.

Was that ball even fair?

Counting today, Haren has faced Locke, Jungmann, Sale, Williams Perez, and Bumgarner Since the deadline Hendricks has faced Garza, Cain, Samardzija, Miller, and Peavy Please stop, you have no idea what you're talking about Half the teams we played against in August dont even have an Ace besides the Giants and the Sox. Hmmm... it's almost as if half of the teams in all of baseball don't have an "Ace."
