    Think the umpire had that solid net front presence there
  2. Agony and Ivy
    Because that was kind of a dumb tag by Diaz.

    Seriously a moment of silence for Chuck Berry? That seems odd, could've picked any number of former prospects and it would've seemed more relevant.

    Brian Matusz gets a ring. Without him we wouldn't have had the Lester walkoff.

    Jankowski from San Diego. I buy that. Do they both have stupid hair or just Jaso? Both have stupid hair but Jaso's is vastly more stupid.

    Only because it was explained or understood incorrectly. Innings have always been based on outs and not the simple fact baseball happened, it's why you can have an ERA of infinity. I'm talking more about using RA/9 as a first tiebreaker, instead of something more sensible like run differential(which Mexico would have won v. Venezuela/Italy). I wasn't aware if people didn't realize/calculate the tiebreaker properly. Agreed RD is much better. I think what Gonzalez was mad about was his coaching staff interpreted it one way after being told something by the WBC and it turned out to be wrong.

    I think that was Jaso from the Pirates. Awesome play. Jaso was so irritated after the play Jankowski from San Diego.

    John Andreoli is probably a better prospect than Yoan Moncada and Benintendi combined. Carry on.

    KB grand slam made me wasting a Saturday to watch spring gam worth it

    I'm reading that now. The Instagram video Darnell McDonald posted is a completely different swing than last year. If that's what he eventually gets to in game action it would be awesome.

    Oh my god they're reading trade ideas off Twitter. Zobrist for pitching and Happ makes the team. Time to turn this off.
  14. Agony and Ivy
    Stupid bullpen can't hold leads. When will Theo address this issue?
  15. Agony and Ivy
    Lost in all of this, Brett Anderson made it through a full inning of work without dying of something horrible.

    He hasn't really changed a thing. You don't have to be a hitting mechanic expert to see it. His hands start lower because in theory it's supposed to make it easier to create an upward swing plane. None of that matters when your hands go from that starting position to the exact same position they were going before. Yes, the Cubs know more about all of this than me. That Cubs related guy on twitter absolutely does not. The Cubs also have an interest in making it appear like their $185m free agent doesn't actually suck at hitting baseballs. Edit: In fact, Heyward looks even more jammed in the pic from this week than the one from the playoffs. lol yeah the cubs secret plan is convince everybody heyward doesn't suck for a couple months before the actual baseball games start! i'll definitely put more stock into your analysis of a still image from a swing early in spring training. in fact, hinske was working on him with nothing all offseason. he had all these obvious issues that all of us can plainly see in video clips and they basically made no progress on anything the whole time and then decided to have theo and joe lie about how it's all going. When it comes to what the organization says in public you don't think they'd church it up for a number of reasons?

    That rip by Schwarber sounded like a rocket.

    http://i.imgur.com/ljinLVG.png?1 yeah you can barely tell this is the same guy! He hasn't really changed a thing. You don't have to be a hitting mechanic expert to see it.

    Carrie Muskat on the radio pregame is about as painful as anything it gets when listening to another human being talk.
  20. Agony and Ivy
    Is Brett Anderson dead yet?
  21. Agony and Ivy
    Since Rogers sucks and didn't get the whole lineup card, does anyone know with which squad Jimenez is playing?
  22. Agony and Ivy
    I'm pretty sure even if you live within the broadcast region the spring games are available on MLB.tv

    Came here to post this about Rubby. Inexpensive lotto ticket with big upside
  24. Agony and Ivy
    Nope. The dude had 2 TJS between throwing pitches in the big leagues.

    CHAMPS FOREVER!
