    Oh that is not fair
  2. UMFan83
    Remember that time we made the Reds pitcher throw 49 pitches in 2/3 of an inning? that was fun
  3. UMFan83
    Just me or has Bryant been striking out a lot more lately?

    We've played 2.2 games against the crappy Braves and have struggled pretty much the entire time

    Stupid Hammel regression

    Jk almora!
  8. UMFan83
    I don't know. Not concerned long term but it's difficult to watch him struggle
  9. UMFan83
    Especially ones that will remain nagging the rest of the year like backs and hammys Plexiglass principle!

    Are we doing individual threads for individual Cubs related trade rumors or just using this one? https://twitter.com/JulieDiCaro/status/741374070898364416

    how can one hate a team where Darwin Barney led in WAR (4.6) ? I had no horsefeathering clue Darwin Barney had a 4.6 win season. That is simply beyond the realm of comprehension even if 2/3rds of it was defensive. We should have sold high on him instead of making him 'part of the core' temporarily.

    That's not a certainty if he's a Cardinals fan.

    Actually even worse, I looked up the Cubs game on April 23, 2012..... a 3-2 Cubs walkoff win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Yep, we drafted a Cardinals fan.

    I remember when Samardzija was drafted by the Cubs, his MySpace page (yes MySpace) had a bunch of Anti-Cubs pictures on it. He turned out fine.

    If you believe Kaplan on twitter, that Schwarber-Andrew Miller thing wasn't just made up. Apparently the Yankees proposed it, and the Cubs said no.

    3rd round: Thomas Hatch, RHP, Oklahoma State

    Tom Hatch, RHP, Oklahoma State

    Even with the Cubs first pick coming at the end of the third round, who wants to bet that this player we draft will have a higher WAR than every 1st round pick (supplemental included) from the Cubs between 2002-2006 combined (1.0 WAR - all from Tyler Colvin)?

    the only sub-par ballparks left in the majors Do the Braves really expect more attendance in the suburbs? Fulton county (where Atlanta is) has like 990,000 people, Cobb county has 730,000 people, but Cobb County actually has a higher population density. You take that plus a more affluent demographic and I'm sure they expect the move have a positive effect, at least in terms of revenue (higher ticket prices, more suites, etc), if not attendance as well

    [tweet] [/tweet] I am assuming this is after a certain point in the season because the biggest would have to be 1.000 as I'm sure a 3-0 team has played an 0-3 team at some point
  21. UMFan83
    Don't even get me started on the Braves new park. They are closing a perfectly good ballpark and wasting $400 million of public money on a mediocre looking stadium (that looks a lot like Turner Field) because the demographics are better (read: more white people). I wish there was a way you could airlift the ballpark to a market that needs a new one like Tampa or Oakland.

    I will not create a White Sox thread because they don't deserve it and there's no reason to discuss them when they aren't making a bunch of panic moves, but their latest one was DFA Jimmy Rollins and call up their top prospect Tim Anderson. I don't know a ton about Anderson, but based on the numbers he's put up in the minors, he seems more like a "Brett Jackson" top prospect than a "Kris Bryant" one. Hits for a high average, but low BB% and SLG. Quickly googling his defense, it doesn't seem like he's all that special there as well. He's only 23 so he has a little development to go, but the White Sox aren't exactly known for developing position players, particularly once they get to the major league level.

    Who isn't a treasured sports legend, Ali or Howe? Because you misread my post (or I just worded it badly) if you think I was saying Kimbo Slice is a treasured sports legend. How could that possibly be interpreted any other way than you believe another sports legend must die if I don't think Kimbo qualifies as a legend? My original three was a '3 sports death' thing. In that I clearly stated Kimbo was not on the level of the other 2, but since he was relevant more recently, it was treated as a big enough story to be in a group of 3 deaths (and for the most part when people make these connections, there is usually one that's a stretch to make the theory work). Then you said he's not good enough to be in the group, meaning that Ali and Howe only deserve to have a triumvirate with another treasured sports legend. And my reply said its on you if another treasured sports legend dies because Kimbo was not allowed in this cycle of 3 deaths. I guess I just find it strange that you would think that even the biggest MMA fan ever would consider Kimbo a treasured sports legend, much less one that has never watched an MMA match literally only recognizes his name, Ronda Rousey and Chuck Lidell in the MMA world.
  24. UMFan83
    Hah that's fine. I don't even like MMA nor have I watched anything he's been in. Just happens to be 3 sports related deaths that have been big stories over the last week. It's on you when another treasured sports legend dies because Kimbo's sacrifice wasn't good enough for you. no. he's not a treasured sports legend. just stop Who isn't a treasured sports legend, Ali or Howe? Because you misread my post (or I just worded it badly) if you think I was saying Kimbo Slice is a treasured sports legend.
