  1. Why does it seem like umps have been terrible calling balls and strikes this year in particular? We have the freaking technology, why can't we just [expletive] implement it? Why do we have to let human error factor into it when we don't have to?
  2. The only thing I can think of is a challenge based system like MLB and NFL How do you mean? Reviews aren't automatic. If you want to challenge a play or whatever you are risking losing a TO. If you don't have a TO you can't challenge a play
  3. i can see where he'd confuse Yellon for a bum
  4. Keep me updated on the adventures of David in Wrigleyville.
  5. What is Coughlans LD%? Gotta be much higher than what you'd expect for a .190 hitter
  6. Castro loves hitting those DP grounders
  7. I know right? Left handed power bat that also hits for average and gets on base a ton. For Andrew Cashner? Yeesh
  8. What a way to christen the new bleachers
  9. So Love is out, Kyrie is playing with a foot strain and tendinitis in his knee and LeBron is playing with a sprained ankle. The Stars have aligned Bulls, get it done

  11. They do have a concert on Saturday, but that wouldn't effect game 1. It would either be Thursday-Sunday or Friday-Sunday. Cool. It all depends if Tampa-MTL goes 7. I did see if the ECF is Washington-Tampa, the Lightning's area is booked for Frozen Thurs-Sun, so not sure how they are gonna work that. If that's the case, if they wanted to keep the series at relatively equal points, they could do Friday-Sunday-Wednesday for the Hawks-Ducks and Monday-Tuesday-Thursday for Lightning-Capitals (similar to how Games 1-2 for Hawks Kings in 2013 were played on Saturday and Sunday because of the Rolling Stones). Or I guess its possible they wait until Saturday or Sunday to start the WCF, although that would be 10-11 days off for the Hawks.

  13. They still have to wait for the Habs-Lightning series to end though. Right. That was a "if everything ends as soon as it can" scenario. Obviously that can't happen now. Now they have to wait for Caps-Rangers game 7 as well. So Thursday would be the earliest they could play if TB won tomorrow. If Montreal wins tomorrow the series would probably start on Friday
  14. It is what it is. If were good enough we will play well. If were not then this was a transition year anyways. Even at 21-28 there's still plenty of time to improve. I expect the team to be a lot better in September than it is currently.
  15. I would guess it's only a technical ofthe refs acknowledge it and stop play.
  16. I found it odd that Thibs kept (I believe) that same lineup out there for almost the entire 8 minutes of scorelessness. Figured you'd start trying something different after the first 10 missed shots in awhile. Oh well, definitely a positive that we are only down 4. If we can shoot well in the second half I like our chances.
  17. The Cubs are trying to bring back 2001, one crappy pitcher at a time. Time for some accountability. I expect changes very soon.
  18. http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=sta&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2015&month=0&season1=2015&ind=0&team=0,ts&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0 That's so odd. I could swear I read the exact opposite the other day which is what I was basing my observation off of. my bad
  19. Our starting pitching freaking blows this year
  20. Yeah well the Cubs are undefeated on my birthday!
