  1. Buck's really gonna go with a guy with a WHIP of like 3 with the top of the order due up. Bold move.
  2. That had the potential to be the start of a really bad winter for Schowalter.
  3. FFS, release the times already. People have work to plan for.
  4. It's going to be weird feeling nervous during a Cubs game.
  5. lol isn't that the guy who didn't know how to play RF for the Padres earlier this season?
  6. I know their pitching staff is horsefeathers, but a totaled Michael Wacha was really their best option today? Sheesh. A Cards loss today or Mets win ensures we'd only see Thor once in the DS, so that'd be cool.
  7. I remember Mrs. Ricketts because she tried to high-5 John Cusack after Schwarber's scoreboard dong and he left her hanging.
  8. It's always good when the catcher has to hold the UMPIRE back.
  9. Awesome. I'm pretty comfortable saying he's the best executive in the game since Friedman has used 175 starting pitchers in his two seasons in a big market. (Though I'm still pretty creeped out by Theo the person.)
  10. Rogers also put out an exhilarating article this morning about Travis Wood always being the first one at the park everyday. It's safe to say everyone is ready for the playoffs.
  11. This isn't necessarily weird, but Mike Trout has a .441 OBP. horsefeathers he's good.
  12. I kind of like this Pena guy. He's looked very good.
  13. I agree Hammel is fucked if we go with 11 pitchers, which it sounds like we will. The only difference with your roster, UM, is I feel like Almora has surpassed Scissors based on usage lately. Although, I'd bet both will make it since Soler's glass interior is cracked again.
  14. This cracked me up [tweet] [/tweet]
  15. I've been thinking about game times on Fri too. Since there won't be a game played in pacific timezone the first two games of the DS (unless the Dodgers pass the Nats) and all four series start that day, I could see them doing something wacky like 2008 and have the Cubs start at like 8:30 local time. They'll probably stick the non Red Sox ALDS at noon. Dodgers have a huge fan base but they play a team with like 10 fans, so I'd bet they get the other afternoon slot. That leaves the Red Sox and Cubs with one getting a 6ish start and the other after 8:00.
  16. Can we talk about how pissed Matheny looked when Ross was walking off the field.
  17. Nice job by CB Buckner to set up to get the worst possible view of that play.
  18. haha, Gyorko and Peralta turning double plays feels like I'm watching a beer league softball game or something.
  19. Who would've thought Ross would be going out like this when we signed him two that two year deal.
  20. Yeah that seems odd. I wonder if Hammel is coming out of the pen in that Zastryzny start.
  21. Just awful. So sad. He was pretty much the leader of Making Baseball Fun Again.
  22. Of course Maddon will be allowed to use him in the outfield. Why wouldn't he be? He's used Travis Wood in the outfield (albeit in an extra inning game) and Maddon likes having versatile players. Ehh, using your LOOGY on a one year deal in the outfield is way different than one of your best starting pitchers whom you just committed over $200 million to. I just don't think we'd promise him anymore AB's other than pinch hitting and the few AB's he gets on the days he pitches. Just feels like an AL team would be better suited for a situation like this if he demands to be a hitter too, but what do I know.
  23. Now that we know Theo is a borderline psycho, I wonder how many things he's broken this season watching Heyward's AB's.
