    Thanks for the boner FanGraphs http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/willson-contreras-has-developed-into-an-everyday-catcher/ Whole article is good but this is the key part:
  2. UMFan83
    [tweet] [/tweet] Meanwhile his agent said decision is more likely to come this weekend.

    One of my favorite moments of 2015 [bbvideo=560,315] [/bbvideo]

    This is the corresponding move to the 2 callups https://twitter.com/carriemuskat/status/766677834177720320 Cubs are stressing neither had setbacks they are just being cautious with them. No word on 40 man move yet
  5. UMFan83
    7 day? Are they worried he has a concussion? Otherwise its a 15 day stint
  6. UMFan83
    It looks like Pena is the other name getting called up. No word on corresponding moves yet
  7. UMFan83
    More Bryzzo sexiness [tweet] [/tweet]
  8. UMFan83
    [tweet] [/tweet] Man I will be a lot more excited about the upcoming season if we get him
  9. UMFan83
    No no no no NO. Kris Bryant doesn't hit good pitching, remember?
  10. UMFan83
    Seems like the stupid air there would effect him just like it would anyone else. I just remember reading somewhere awhile ago that the Rockies actively look for sinkerball pitchers to fit their environment. Guessing because there isn't as much movement on it compared to a curve or even a slider/2 seamer. That said, a sinker that doesn't sink as much especially for a pitcher who isn't acclimated to pitching at Coors will lead to weak contact ground balls being turned into hard hit fly balls so who knows.
  11. UMFan83
    Does Hendricks seem like he would be a decent Coors pitcher? More of a ground ball pitcher, relies on location, doesn't throw the curve ball too often, throws a lot of sinkers.
  12. UMFan83
    If so, quick go back to Rondon Fan!
  13. UMFan83
    Here's one [tweet] [/tweet]
  14. UMFan83
    Rob Z and.... What is the 40 man at now? Any 60 day candidates or DFAS? This is all so exciting. Guessing one of the moves is Lackey to the DL. The other maybe Patton down
  15. UMFan83
    Yeah it looked good. I don't take anything from preseason but it's nice to not look like they don't belong on the field.
  16. UMFan83
    Do we have an official Bryzzo thread? https://twitter.com/carriemuskat/status/766409713915269121

    http://www.clubhousecancer.com/WindowsLiveWriter/TedLilyRunsOverYadierMolina091008_thumb.jpg Our current magic number barreling over the Cardinals One more angle even though it doesn't show his number because this collision was so bad ass http://worldseriesdreaming.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/LillyMolina.jpg

    Just finished a stretch where we had 24 home games and 8 road games (5 of them being in Milwaukee or the Cell). Went 24-8. That's what I call taking advantage of the schedule. Now we finish the season with 25 of our last 38 on the road.
  19. UMFan83
    Byproduct of having such predictable pitch selection? I was thinking that, could be it. Either way, for the most part they are still always late on it, its not like they are putting them in play or even necessarily timing him better.
  20. UMFan83
    This is a matchup you dream about during those cold winter nights. Nieuwenheis vs. Chapman, tying run on deck. Which unstoppable force bends?
  21. UMFan83
    For someone who has this ridiculous 101-105 MPH heater, Chapman seems to get into a lot of ABs where it takes him forever to put the guy away with a lot of foul offs. Not necessarily complaining, its just something that has surprised me.
  22. UMFan83
    If he goes yard here he will be one base short of his awesome game in Cincy
  23. UMFan83
    What kind of Willson Contreras wannabe is that out there for the Brewers?
  24. UMFan83
    Please do not hit into a double play here scissors so Bryant gets another AB
  25. UMFan83
    I guess its possible. But my guess is Joe was trying to save everyone for Coors Field next. Yep, especially with another spot start game on Saturday with Montgomery/Cahill.
