At 2:10 I was checking like mad to see what other window I had open was getting that interview audio.

Was Jake Arrieta in a racist fight club?
JudasIscariotTheBird replied to Sammy Sofa's topic in General Baseball Talk
http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2rp7dKH391qhz348.gif Pretty accurate, but there were a few wrestlers and boxers on the team that just ran to get in shape for the winter. -
Was Jake Arrieta in a racist fight club?
JudasIscariotTheBird replied to Sammy Sofa's topic in General Baseball Talk
My High School cross country team had a fight club. ...it wasn't racist, but it also wasn't a baseball team in Texas. This is not surprising. -
The "Geovany Soto"meme was and always shall be the purest and most amazing meme this site will ever have. The nay-sayers don't understand joy. It wasn't JUST the orgasmic season he had, but his NAME too. There simply wasn't anything more or better to be said at the time.
-
Damn. This podcast is basically required listening for anyone who frequents this board.
-
I blame Chris Correa.
-
I guess because it wasn't clear until just now how high this went up. For a director level employee to be pleading guilty is ... kinda a big deal. Imagine if you were the Astros!?
-
The hidden columns show what Cubs pitchers go with that forecast and comp. The top ones are pretty easy. ...but why should I care that Arrieta is as good as some random year of Oral? Or that (maybe) Hendricks is as good as a feisty pock-marked turncoat? I can't see the mystery column so why should I give a flying poo? Most of those names mean absolutely nothing to me.

Sooooo glad to see the above gif after reading that tweet. I THINK I might have half a clue what the tweeter was attempting to do, but I have 0% of a clue what insight the actual stats and comps in the tweet should provide.
-
The only way to bet on the Cubs and get anything approaching positive EV is on over-under win totals (as the Vegas tourists from Chicago don't bet on lines like that...I took the over on the Cubs last year, and the under on the Reds)
-
I suppose it mostly depends on how Bryant and Baez look in the OF this year, and if Zobrist looks better than Baez at 3B. Honestly, I don't see the point of moving Bryant to the OF on a regular basis (in the near future) as awesome as hes been at 3B. Just let the better defensive alignment happen beween Zobrist and Baez at 2B and OF. That said, with the way that Maddon likes to move players around, I don't think we should spend much time worrying about where a player is going to be "locked in" in the future. Guys like Baez, Zobrist, Heyward, and Bryant are going to move around, and it will be fun for all involved.

We can expect Soler's defense to be better in 2016, right? Simply because it can't get any worse...right?
-
I was on team "DFA Castro, he's worthless" during mid season. When I heard he was traded immediately after signing Zobrist, I assumed it was a total salary dump. The more I read about Warren (especially the Fangraphs pitch fx breakdown) the more glad I am that I am not in charge of the Cubs. Stuff-wise, Warren is probably our #4 SP. And a good one at that!
-
Meh? Delicious.
-
Yeah, put Miller and Warren next to each other and stare at them for a while. Give your eyes a rest and then put Castro (and his contract) next to Inciarte, Swanson, and Blair. Ponder this. (Also, Harris, I guess)
-
Other teams think its the Astros. The Cardinals have a really strong feeling it's the Astros This is just an amazing post It is so amazing that I didn't get the reference at first.
-
about that... http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/prospects/rankings/top-100-prospects/2012/2612998.html #42 and #89 amuse me.
-
Ehhhhh, yeah. But what does that mean? It means we should build a team that is good at winning a lot of baseball games instead of tailoring it to fit a made up ideal that will win playoff series.
-
The 2015 Nats want to have a chat with you, Cubbie Swagger. (Not that a single regular season outcome proves anything...let alone a dozen playoff games...so nevermind)
-
Wittenmeyer just wants the Cubs to make a big splash so he can obsess over everything they do, and remind us of how much money they make every time they are on the field. http://41.media.tumblr.com/d4e1881f203481b92225f721451486d3/tumblr_nvkpib4SZv1uhfs3jo1_1280.png It probably would have been beneficial for him to program a hot key to paste "$155 Million" on command.
-
I know this topic has been brought up on this site before, but is it possible to quantify how hard his historically BS called strike zone messed up his offensive numbers this season? How much better can we expect him to look when sliders and fastballs a foot off the plate don't turn into strike 3s? How much more power can he generate when he's not protecting that part of the zone? Would his grin become even sexier?
-
I'm with Theo where he said, and I quote "Our bullpen is currently better than mediocre, and that is how I like it. Starting pitcher FA ftw!"

Unusual CF idea(s)
JudasIscariotTheBird replied to Northsider's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Yeah, he has to reach too far down to get to grounders or some such non sense. It was the punch line to most scouting reports that didn't like Bryant's defense at 3B. -
So gigantic and so effortless. Nothing forced. It just flows like a torrent. https://www.facebook.com/vlsports/videos/876187785770383/
