    I was watching the vid and for audio, I was listening to Nate SIlver and Co talk about the presser today. I have a hardon.

    I got out gif'd there.

    The rules of this engagement is DONGS!

    I can see where this guy is coming from. A half season can be a small sample size and when you have a strong model you might want to believe that variance is the only reason that the season's results are lined up with your model/beliefs. The problem is this guy was dead wrong from the get go.

    https://www.theringer.com/mlb/2018/7/16/17571406/trade-deadline-manny-machado-baltimore-orioles-rumor-rental Yes, the Cubs player development system probably wouldn't have been the right place for Torres to maximize his potential, as evidenced by the disappointments of Addison Russell, Ian Happ, and Javier Baez.

    Javy is THE most convincing data point that we are living in a simulation.

    They are playing Turn Down for What in the stadium. It has both one of the best official videos I've seen, and fan videos (with the speed boat crash). I highly recomend both. Also, it is late.

    [tweet] [/tweet]Well, if he was the biggest dog I'm sure there were some sharps that had a hand in the line moving...and then the bookies might just be banking on some people betting their favorite player (right, Cub fans) at bad odds just to hedge for the screw up of having him as such a longshot to begin with.

    Yu. Darvish? [bbvideo=560,315] [/bbvideo]
  12. JudasIscariotTheBird
    Who would you guess the betting favorite is? It's not who you would expect
  13. JudasIscariotTheBird
    Yahoo seems to think we have left 19 men on base thus far...is this a true thing?
  14. JudasIscariotTheBird
    I was going to say he was in HR Derby mode, but then I remembered they changed the rules.
  15. JudasIscariotTheBird
    Before today, J-Hey led Rizzo in both RC+ and wOBA.
  16. JudasIscariotTheBird
  17. JudasIscariotTheBird
    Playing that Bote, Happ, Caratini stack on DK like a boss. (Q, Willson and Javy too)
  18. JudasIscariotTheBird
    Yeah, but that was just you trying to remem....nevermind.
  19. JudasIscariotTheBird
    Its a lot like pizza and beer, but with wine instead of beer.
  20. JudasIscariotTheBird
    Huh. I had pizza and wine completely on accident tonight. ...on accident isn't the right word, but you get the idea.
  21. JudasIscariotTheBird
    Yeah, but you quoted the wrong part of the rule. You meant to quote this part: Now we can all sleep easy!
  22. JudasIscariotTheBird
    There are no force outs available in a walk situation, so this can't be right. It seems the rules are murky: http://www.umpire.org/index.php/stories-archive/16-ruleball/229-Walk_Off_Walk
  23. JudasIscariotTheBird
    I believe that all of the runners that could be gotten out via force outs need to reach their respective bases, and the winning run needs to touch the plate.

    Its fine to get upset and say that things suck or that AB blew or Joe Maddon's glasses are out of style now or whatever. But when you extrapolate your 2 inning anger to pretending the offense is somehow "a joke" over the course of the season, then you've gone off the rails and deep breaths need to be taken. The Cubs are, in fact, awesome. Our rational minds know this. I think a lot of us have programmed ourselves not to believe our rational minds when it says the Cubs are good, because our rational minds knew our meatball minds were tilting the scales in favor of crappy Cub teams for a long, long time. It is...crazy idea, I know...almost like a bunch of fans following sports. There's a big ol' middle ground between, "I don't even own an emotion about my favorite sports squadron," and, "THIS TERRIBLE GAME MEANS THE CUBS ARE GOING BACK INTO THE CELLAR FOR YEARS TO COME." Completely agree. I made a noise that no human should make when Rizzo lined out to center in the 9th, let alone in the context of a sportball game.

    I mean, when the Cubs were a perennial 85 loss team, every couple inning stretch of suckiness threatened to set me off. But I literally cannot get the least bit worked up for a couple inning stretches of suckiness now, because of context. Its fine to get upset and say that things suck or that AB blew or Joe Maddon's glasses are out of style now or whatever.
