  1. Is it too late to ask for Scott Feldman back?
  2. Two walks and what will be 20-some pitches in the first. Fantastic.
  3. Could Montero throw out Hamilton if Hamilton didn't start running until Miggy caught the ball?
  4. This is pretty great, Tim. It's going to be fun to watch as guys gradually trend up or down these rankings. And it will be nice to see a living, breathing crowdsourced ranking that is more attuned to the current affairs of the organization.
  5. Peralta is so bad, though.
  6. In his first game at catcher. They DH'd him the first two Didn't catch that. He has a caught stealing, to boot!
  7. I'm definitely coming around big time on Happ. Before the season, I wasn't high on him. I mentioned my reservations had a lot to do with how he performed after getting called up to South Bend last year. The K-rate scared me, as I thought it would continue to creep up. And if his K-rate was that high, the lowered walk-rate in South Bend wasn't going to fly either. This year, he's walked like he did in Eugene. And his K-rate has been stable. The fact that his K-rate keeps getting lower as the year goes along is great, too. He's only struck out once in his last 8 games. For him, that's pretty much unbelievable. And, though it's just a few games, I'm thrilled with how he's hit the ground running in AA. If you look at the troubles Benintendi had to start his AA career, after running roughshod through the lower levels, you know this production this early after his call-up isn't a given.
  8. Ian Rice with his first homer for Myrtle Beach.
  9. http://i1.wp.com/benfinan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Andy-Dwyre-Always-Tired.gif
  10. They need to bring in some zoo animals and sacrifice them on the pitching mound. Better sacrifice the strippers, too, to be safe.

  12. Well, at least we have Arrieta going for five innings tomorrow.
  13. That makes perfect sense, considering that he was nearly an All-Star last year when we were barely a .500 team in the first half of the season, and he was dog horsefeathers when we played at, like, a 130-win pace in the second half.
  14. Fair. .733 OPS is June isn't too far off his career numbers, and that's with a .277 BAPIP against his career .307. I know BAPIP isn't perfect, but his line drive rate remains strong. Yeah he had about a 10 game hot streak at the beginning of June but his OPS is .485 over the last 11 games or so I'm not trying to defend Heyward here. He's been awful. But, this is why cherry picked small sample sizes are stupid. So the only thing that matters is the last 11 games or so, but not the ones before that when he was doing well? Especially since he's been BABIP'd some this series...
  15. Keep hitting your rockets out to Heyward and not the other two.
  16. Cards down 3-0 early. Luckily the Central is weak enough that we can sleepwalk to a division title.
