    Yes Maddon seems to like to do that, I approve especially with the next 6 games coming against teams that are technically the closest to us in the division.

    Hendricks v. Scherzer also gave a slight edge to the Nats I'm actually kinda shocked Hammel's peripherals are so "bad" (a 3.70 ERA isn't all that awful at the end of the day). I remember him actually pitching very very well for the first starts of the year and only has he seemed completely off course around that leg injury. He's walking an extra batter per 9 from last season, and his strike out rate is slightly lower, so yeah. Get better Jason. I think a big reason is that Hammel is a fly ball pitcher that typically has a FB/HR rate around 12-12.5%, and this year its at 8.7% which would be among the best 10 or so pitchers in the NL (i think). He has allowed only 15% of his runners to score when usually it is about 22-28%. Also his BABIP against is at .251 this year after being around .280ish the last few years. His peripherals suggest he is getting unsustainably lucky.

    So, Bickell's contract basically cost us Saad and Teuvo. Do we hate him forever for this or do we cut him some slack because he was a huge part of a Stanley Cup run (the one that earned him the contract)?

    I'm sure part of the savings will be for resigning Shaw, but hoping some of it will be to lock up Panarin long term. Still lots of offseason left but we could be returning the same offense that started last year just without Teuvo (and of course Ladd, Weiss, Fleissmann). Going to have a lot of depth issues although defensively we should be better. edit: forgot Panik who they will probably resign now.

    More like the Blackhawks were so desperate to get rid of Bickell's cap number. Dammit that sucks.

    I'm pretty sure they find a place for what may be the best relief pitcher in baseball. At the very least top 5.

    I've heard Avery Bradley, #3, 16 & 23 for Butler. I don't know how I'd feel about that but Buddy Hield or Kris Dunn could be fun. I'd do it if we could trade 3, 14, 16 and 23 for the #1 or 2 pick

    What about warren instead of richard
  10. UMFan83
    Rondon
  11. UMFan83
    Man some heyward abs against lefties just look awful
  12. UMFan83
    Yesssssss!!'neusijzjs
  13. UMFan83
    Come on Almora or Fowler
  14. UMFan83
    Well with strop wood and Rondon burned already it might not be pleasant viewing
  15. UMFan83
    Rondon has been doing that a lot this year :-k :-k :-k Given his ERA and peripherals, I don't think there's any way that's true. What little damage he has allowed seems like it's come in non conventional situations but it could just be selective memory based on the game against the Braves at Wrigley
  16. UMFan83
    Dammit should have caught it Ross. That hurts due to how off our offense has seemed the last 2 games
  17. UMFan83
    DAMMIT
  18. UMFan83
    Rondon has been doing that a lot this year
  19. UMFan83
    Nooooo come on GIDP
  20. UMFan83
    Thank you Joe great move considering how lightly Rondon is used
  21. UMFan83
    Don't bring wood in against tough lefties if he's going to be a horsefeathering [expletive] pitching to them
  22. UMFan83
    Strop would have been much better than wood nibbling at Harper
  23. UMFan83
    Not a great night for Javy
  24. UMFan83
    Bryant scuffling a little bit. 2 for his last 16
  25. UMFan83
    Nice! Great pitching strop. And can probably come out for the 8th
