The Vegas numbers are out already and they’re 88-90. I want to say Yeah, its going to be hard to find a good number for the Cubs. Just too many homers that bet them. That and no one gives a poo what Pecota says.

50% more per year, and 300% more over the course of a decade is a huge difference. No one is trading for Heyward and his entire contract. but acting like there's a negligible difference between what he's owed, and what Harper will be owed is illogical. No it’s not. Not when the difference is the production between Heyward and Harper.

General Baseball Chit-Chat Thread
JudasIscariotTheBird replied to David's topic in General Baseball Talk
Last year, Cards were #1 in Pitcher wOBA and the Brewers were #3. This is an insane attempt at refuting my epic doom boner, and you know it. Insane? Its approximately half the story of switching to the DH. -

General Baseball Chit-Chat Thread

Our pitchers are also extremely poor hitters compared to the league average, so double bonus. Of all pitchers with at least 10 ABs, only two Cubs were in the top 60 in wOBA last year: Chatwood ranked 32nd and Lester ranked 58th. -
I would like them explained to me in detail first http://i.imgur.com/FnEax5f.gif

...it took me a day before I figured it out. I was focusing on the fact that he was dead. The joke is even worse/better than that. Awesome.

I watched the first episode and I was embarrassed that I stuck through the whole thing.

I would normally like it, but I have a hunch that Addi had something to do with this, and I'm off that train. -
All of this is true. It's also true that Bryant has reached that level in every season in which he was "fully" healthy and also was on pace to go well past 6 WAR last year before the injury. It's possible that the injury will limit the finish on his swing going forward and that his results dip as a result. But I'll take bets on the gap between his 2018 and 2019 more than offsetting the dip in Javy's, assuming KB and Javy each play in 145+ games. Any of you doom bonering people want to wager? I offered to make wagers as a responce to his doom bonering before. I never heard back. (Although, that 145+ game stipulation is pretty significant.)

The Phils need to make their move soon so we can lock this thread at 108 pages.

The time he tried to fight the entire Reds team was pretty baller You can cut to 1:00 if you want to skip Castro and Junior Lake reminders: [bbvideo=560,315] [/bbvideo]

Minor League Musings
JudasIscariotTheBird replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Yes, most of the random posters you guys bring up are before my time here lol. Ah One of the many mountains he chose to die upon was that different types of alcohol made you different types of drunk. A LOT of people I know feel the same way. Had some pretty brutal arguments about it. -
Here's what I'm saying. Most all the teams don't spend any money and all the good players go to a few teams willing to spend at discounted prices = not collusion All of the teams pretend to be poor, prices come down, and then all the players get distributed across the league to the same teams that claimed poor earlier = collusion
-
...why would all the owners work to help the Phillies exclusively?
-
If the Cubs do jump in and make a play for Harper, then I DO think there is a case for collusion.
-
I think the Cubs are exhibit A that there is no collusion. The owners are just cheap AF.

And this article http://www.cpioneer.com/news/article_11a01167-48ea-5d72-9205-beebbcc048e3.html

What my tooth guy uses doesn't have the sharp edges anymore, but its heavier and only mildly less annoying.

Its true that X-rays can make the cancers, but everything has risk. Hell, the cancer risk of being exposed to sunlight for 162 games a year is probably the same order of magnitude as a CT scan on a limb.

There’s literally no other way to describe something powerful enough to travel through tissues, organs, and bones. Like I said, feel free to call me crazy, but some of you guys are *insanely* casual about this stuff as if there is zero consequence The sound of a sneeze can pass through BONE

I got 'blasted" by X-rays just last week at the dentist. Actual footage

More reason to go the safest routes first - rest and therapy, not less. The first reaction to fixing something extremely valuable and expensive, let alone a living and breathing organism, should definitely not be to blast it with dangerous particles. What it does to a person both physically and mentally is not something to be trifled with. Straight up - people overrate and overvalue fancier sounding medical procedures, most of that horsefeathers is fast becoming archaic/obsolete. There’s tons of literature on unnecessary medical procedures, this country especially can’t wait to test, scan, image, and/or operate. A couple non-academic pieces: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/medical-procedures-prove-unnecessary/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/doctors-estimate-68-billion-in-unnecessary-medical-tests/2011/10/28/gIQANpEXZM_story.html?utm_term=.609ae14b4ddf Those articles almost exclusively are (rightly) harping on the COST of the diagnostics. What isn't dealing with diagnostic cost is the stuff in the Scientific American where they talk about treating slow-growing cancer that is unlikely to effect anyone before they die of other stuff. It definitely doesn't apply to billionaire owned teams checking in on their millionaire athletes' bodies. On a side note, are you also scared of wi-fi, microwave ovens, and visible light?
