jeff passan is saying the extension is 8/255. showing my work: [tweet] [/tweet] So much for the Cubs liking next year's FA class better. Gotta think that would be been one of the names they would be targeting in that hypothetical scenario. Still time to get Bryce!

Edmonds' dong against STL when he bat flipped and glared into their dugout was a good one too. I've never 180'd on a player before or since like Jim Edmonds. I never liked him...appreciated his contributions but still hated him.

Cool story bro

Chatwood lasted 3 batters before walking his first guy. Brandon Belt then hit a 2 run HR. Spring training performances mean little but very on brand

Charles the cat you’re our only hope

Hopefully they don’t forget to call Theo Edit: also since its Nightengale we can say the Phillies have given up on signing Bryce right?

wasn't that a meaningless game though? I tried to look for that HR earlier on YouTube and couldn’t find it. It was mid-Sept against the Brewers. The Cubs hadn’t clinched yet so the game wasn’t completely meaningless. Believe DLee had a walkoff single in like the 11th to win it

Maybe he’s just going to gamble?

Find work quickly meaning the AAF has games this weekend?

Very on brand post

Yeah you are almost certainly right. Contreras came in as a defensive replacement for Miggy immediately following the inning, and from rewatching that inning, I know Grant Dayton (lefty) was warmed up and ready to come in. Another factor in walking Cogs was that he was 8-17 lifetime against Blanton heading into that AB and I don't think Dayton was quite ready at that point. But regardless of everything else, the Intentional Walk was primarily to get Chapman out of the game. Just a pretty big gamble to put the go ahead runner at third in the 8th inning, especially when you are walking a guy who wasnt on a major league roster 2 months before and you are pretty much guaranteed to not get a good matchup with the next hitter.

Trump But yeah there are a lot of famous people that live in or own homes in Palm Beach. Using wikipedia, here are some names that are at least comparable to Kraft: -Roger Ailes -Jon Bon Jovi -Warren Buffett -Ann Coulter (no discriminating) -Malcolm Glazer -Rush Limbaugh -Howard Stern -Rod Stewart Of course it could have just been someone in town maybe to visit his BFF owner of the team he coaches or QBs for

Yeah I also felt the same was in Game 5 when it was 1-1 in the 6th with Lester going thinking we can't waste a Lester start with Kershaw and Hill going the next 2 games. Thankfully some player hit a 2 run HR and then the bats busted out for a fairly comfortable finish. Also, I do recall that about the Giants. Also the Cubs swapped out Seal Boy with Rob Z for that NLCS just in case they needed another lefty. I don't think he ended up pitching though. Also regarding the Miggy HR: Never forget that Dave Roberts elected to walk Chris Coghlan with runners on 1st and 2nd and 2 outs in a tie game to bring up Montero. His logic was getting Chapman out of the game but damn did that not work out for him.

Damn, I would have posted this first but couldnt think of a good title. The ones I came up with were both awful (Robert Kraft Feeling Deflated and Better Kraft Up a Good Excuse)
-
Yeah that one was so unexpected especially after he missed a meatball the pitch before and the count was 0-2. So awesome.
