  1. Yeah, I think the Dodgers might be in actual trouble. They had an incredibly lucky year last year. They were miraculously fortunate with their health. No serious injuries, despite their rotation being a mobile surgical unit. They randomly uncovered guys like Brandon Morrow. Chris Taylor was a 5-win player. Even the other guys largely performed above expectations. It wouldn't be crazy to expect some regression to the mean from Puig, Barnes, Bellinger, etc. I think it's even more likely one or more starting pitcher blows up or becomes injured. They also had completely unsustainable success on balls in play. They got worse in the off-season. They are a lot like we were last year, except without the trophy. And I also think they were starting off at a lower baseline and only reached those heights because they were even luckier than we were in 2016.
  2. Our new guys suck, but Jake is who we thought he was. Throwing 92 and not missing any bats. He's been throwing strikes and getting grounders, so maybe he's only mostly dead, though.
  3. The cake eating guy is probably at the hospital having his stomach pumped right now.
  4. That was the perfect game to be won by Justin Wilson.
  5. Just putting it out there: We're winning this.
  6. "When?" It's already come up a few times; minus the arm, he's kinda butt behind the plate. I mean, sure, I've seen people mention the passed balls and plain inability to catch pitches sometimes but I don't recall anyone specifically talking about his lack of framing skills. People talk about it all the time.
  7. From the tree thread: viewtopic.php?p=63514#p63514 http://i.imgur.com/8xc8XJS.gif
  8. By the way, tree was right, and I didn't listen. I'll never have those hours of my life back.
  9. I think about it every so often and start cracking up.
  10. Don't do it, Andy. It's a trap.
