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. -

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] -
Cubs to visit the White House Monday
JudasIscariotTheBird replied to gobigred's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
This is a pretend thing that's happening in your imagination. The fact that several posters here are vehemently disagreeing with me saying hiliary is as terrible as trump pretty much validates what I said. We'll all just have to agree to disagree, as neither side here is going to convince the other to soften their stance. We all do agree though that Trump is terrible, I'm just over the disappointment. Yeah, disagreeing with your preposterous false equivalency validates your non-sense. http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/cuban-eyeroll.gif -
General Baseball Chit-Chat Thread

Maybe he just hates wops? -
Stop harping on the guy. This thread is about the Cardinals, and I want to see blood, too! http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o11/krtzota/Schadenfreude.jpg
-
How much do you want to bet he has a better OPS this year than last? 100 million?
-
Yeah, it is VERY Rizzo. Hopefully we get to see some "bended knee" HRs from Heyward this year, too!

Didn't see this mentioned anywhere else: http://m.mlb.com/cutfour/2016/12/16/211508042/jake-arrieta-has-a-new-tattoo?partnerId=as_chc_20161216_68801196&adbid=10154589262320659&adbpl=fb&adbpr=30530605658

If it is revealed that it wasn't the Russians, but the Cardinals, that installed Trump as President, I'm going to be even more disappointed in Dex for signing with them.

I know cleats aren't exactly built for style, but I wonder if they would sell to a casual market if they just replaced the spikes with a cross trainer tread of some type? That way, for example, you could buy those Kris Bryant Adidas shoes for an everyday environment. Eh. I don't think the NBA/Jordan phenomenon can really be replicated with other sports in that regard. Well, I don't think I've spent more than 40 dollars on a pair of shoes in my life, and if there were a Bryant pair of sneakers that didn't look hideous and didn't hurt my feet...I'd double my budget. I'm a goofball, though.
