  1. Well [expletive], Baez can strike out too and play better in the field.
  2. I can't help but wish Baez was at 3rd. We'd essentially have three SS's in the infield, would be nice with a groundball pitcher.
  3. Moneyline implies the Cubs should win about 55.5% of the time. Well, yeah, but that's not what betting lines are intended to do or predict I heartily disagree. Betting lines make excellent sources of probability. The market is king. This line will get sharper once lineups are announced and limits are raised, but by game time the line should be an accurate estimation of each teams chances.

  5. I wouldn't know since WGN America is showing reruns of Corner Gas or America's Funniest videos or some other crap. You guys get Corner Gas in the States? Sorry about that.
  6. when did rizzo forget how to play 1st base
  7. Cardinals announcers speculating Coghlan must be hurt from the foul ball to be removed from the game. The fact that they're facing a LHP now apparently isn't relevant.
  8. If Bryant's on 3rd instead of TLS, he scores on that Lynn bobble. Whatever, we're awesome.
  9. Forgive me for interrupting the larger conversation here, but I don't think that's remotely intriguing for Tampa. They seem to be hesitant to give Stamkos a Kane-like extension given their numerous young stars who will need to be paid. The idea of them trading away Hedman to acquire Kane's contract is insane, without even getting into the legal troubles.
  10. As if things couldn't get worse, this guy died :(
  11. Dodgers organ dude playing Curb theme, nicely done.
  12. With Lester up now, I'm really glad Crawford caught that ball.

  14. Rizzo's improvement against lefties is simply staggering. What a beast.
  15. I think I'm going to watch the Dodgers feed tonight.

  18. yeah we will see the same lineup tmrw since he is a lefty. Pretty sure Montero will catch.
  19. Well, him pitching every fifth day instead of a Scott Kazmir might cost us the division. And also, Scott Kazmir would be nice to use after Arrieta and Lester in the playoffs. Making moves at the deadline to try and win the division would have been ludicrous. We've gone an insane run in August and we're still at 3.4% on FanGraphs. I don't think there's enough of a difference between Kazmir and Hammel to justify the cost of upgrading the 3rd starter, not to mention the fact that we'll be underdogs in a one-game playoff to even make that 3rd starter necessary.
  20. We are going to make the playoffs no matter how poorly Haren pitches and he obviously won't start a postseason game, so I really don't see the need for this angst.
