Schwarber wears number 12 and was out 4 months. 12x4=48. but it was actually a little more than 2 months more than that and 48-2=46 holy. horsefeathers. And take back one kadam to honor the Hebrew God whose bat this is. -
Rizzo's got some nice gams, and his hair looks MUCH better there than the previous N'Sync-era Timberlake look he was seemingly rocking before. Bryant needs to make some fat stacks off of a Proactiv endorsement, stat. http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Chris-Farley-Sunglasses-Flip-Shock.gif

General Baseball Chit-Chat Thread
JudasIscariotTheBird replied to David's topic in General Baseball Talk
i'll never understand how this is allowed. Its because they have always allowed a pitcher's foot to leave the mound for an instant before they release the ball to the plate, so long as it was a part of their natural throwing motion. That slippery slope situation has lead to...this atrocity. -

Pitchers and Catchers to report on...
JudasIscariotTheBird replied to Tim's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Hendricks and I share equally pale and spindly legs. Neato. Also, that photo with what looks like Strop in the rear-view reflection is a really really good photo. -

Schwarber in a cage, listening to rage. Hell yeah. This is a badly needed Spring Training. -
:shock: I cant believe I just watched that whole thing. What a sad sad man. Yeah, that makes zero sense. Even if sports were in fact scripted, it's quite an assumption to think that the orchestrators of said plot would leave all these clues for this dingleberry to figure out. Just like the Bond villians explained their plan while he frees himself from restraints. Oh well, that guy is a maniac. Though I might make a bet on his next pick if the odds are right You wouldn't think it, but modern-day Nostradamus is really chalky.

I think we see Zobrist for about 40 games in RF this year.

This is my favorite thing. By a lot. Thank you SO much!

Meh...he was a mid .700s guy in the minors. Maybe he figures things out a bit and does better, but doesn't seem unreasonable. ...I'm going to take the over.

I know that Almora isn't a world beater at the plate, but a .650 OPS? Presumably with most of those 200 ABs against lefties? Jeez.
-
I just want the dood to be able to fake being spry. Sue me.

There is no way that a guy that hits from the same side as Heyward and Schwarber and isn't an especially good defender gets that many ABs in the OF. Barring injuries, 0 chance. He would need to be starting in CF nearly every game against righties this season. Do you think that is reasonable? EDIT: Did not realize Jay was a switch hitter. I still think its way high, but I no longer think its insane. REEDIT: He isn't a switch hitter. But has reversish splits. Yes I expect Jay to get most starts in CF against righties. I doubt Almora will play his way into too many starts vs. same handed pitching. I think at least a third of the right handed pitcher games will have Heyward in CF with Zobrist or Bryant in RF. And those will be dictated by the best defensive alignment behind whomever is on the mound for us.

These seem like reasonable totals at first glance. Maybe a touch high with all the mixing and matching Joe will do.

Some dood spotted that Contreras's defensive value was too insanely low to be believed, and there actually was an error. Not sure when it was corrected. Also, they have Jon Jay projected to get 450 PAs (200 for Almora) and Baez somehow has negative defensive value...and only 133 PA at 2B (for a total of 438, less than Mr. Federalist). Relief ERAs seem a touch high across the board. There are issues.

Looks like the injury transformed him into a gym rat...that's cool, but can someone point him toward an elliptical, please? At least a treadmill, maybe?

I spent a lot of time pumping up the post count on that thread. Good times. -
What is the worst TV show you've seen every episode of?
JudasIscariotTheBird replied to Banedon's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Bronson is also basically just a vehicle for Tom to show the world that you don't deserve him. -

JudasIscariotTheBird replied to Banedon's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
The complete mediocrity of the show is totally worth any and all Tom Hardy scenes in seasons 2 and 3. -
I'm no expert, but that does look horrific.

Never been to Vegas, but we went through Reno as a kid and stayed at Circus Circus, and I remember loving the arcade there. Thus ends my Circus Circus story. When we go to Vegas we always would stay at this awful hotel/casino called the riviera - long story, but basically they let us stay for free as long as we wanted. Anyway, Im watching the new Bourne movie and he crashes a car right into the horsefeathers casino there! I was like wtf. Then I googled it and it turns out they had to destroy the Riv so they let Bourne trash it for his movie. EDIT: I forgot the reason I told this story is because the Riv was right next to circus circus. First time I went to vegas, my friend (a portly dude) was like "we gotta go to circus circus once so you can eat the $1 footlong hot dogs!" he was so lit it was hilarious. We get there and they've replaced the hot dog stand with a subway. He was so mad I found him sitting down at a virtual dog-racing game yelling at the video game dogs. What is weird about Vegas and what makes it entertaining (apart from just straight gambling) is how crappy it is. It just forces great stories like this to occur with its incredible lameness and debauchery.

Cubs to visit the White House Monday
JudasIscariotTheBird replied to gobigred's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Frankly, I'm surprised by the default unwilllingness to discuss seriously any POV coming from a conservative, but that's probably because I'm a foreigner. [bbvideo=560,315] [/bbvideo]
