  1. It's kind of fascinating to think of the time and dedication some people put into trolling.
  2. Manfred reminds me of the awkward, shitty detective from the later seasons of The Shield.
  3. Am I the only person wondering if this will have much of an effect on Alcantara's near-future role with the big club?
  4. I would like an update on this please
  5. Buxton ain't gonna be [expletive]
  6. Despite not being anywhere near a top 100 prospect? He meant actual farming.
  7. This thing where people assume Piazza took PED's is tiresome. But doesn't the same go for pretty every relevant player between 1990-2005 not named Greg Maddux? Unless, of course he's referring to the other kind of PEDmonster, in which case the list is narrowed to Mel Hall. Did every relevant player not named Greg Maddux have back acne, too? Because Mike Piazza did, so PEDmonster he is!!!!
  8. Wtf is Russell doing? The ump shows safe right in front of him and he would've let Gordon crawl back to second if he only knew he beat the throw.
  9. Look, if Baez even comes close to his ceiling, you absolutely make room for him. Writing him off as a pro or rooting for increased trade value seems like the popular thing to do lately, but I still have hope. I don't want to go meatbally (because I still have hope for him, too), but perhaps it will be Castro we don't have room for?
  10. Also glad its 2015 and not '13 or '14. Could you imagine getting, say, Rodon at 2 and then Schwarber at 5?
  11. If they include money, sure.
  12. Some writer will say Castro should've been running harder to home, allowing Russell to go to 3rd. This. He was too busy thinking about his 900th hit to keep his head in the game.
  13. But what if that career takes place in Boston after he (maybe) gets traded there? Anything could happen, after all.
  14. Right, this makes sense -- wait to buy jerseys once guys retire -- just to be sure. I was thinking of getting a Bryant authentic, but you never know, he could be traded at the ASB for a center fielder or something. Candelario is coming and there may not be room for both. #neyertakes
  15. Players should sprint around the bases or they're not Playing the Game the Right Way. It didn't work out very well when Oscar Taveras tried to get home fast I love you.
  16. or Rizzo with Hoffpauir or Baseball with Quarterback
  17. You're lame, jersey shirts are awesome.
  18. Which game though?
  19. It is 1-0 in the top of the 6th, get a grip. I know it might sound crazy, but I think he's right. It does sound crazy, yes.
  20. ^definitely, that's very encouraging.
  21. The sooner he can get his mojo back and we can get rid of Herrera or Baxter or some other crappy bench player the better. i agree, but herrera basically doesn't play. there's no point in calling up alcantara so that he can make one plate appearance per week. if he's called up, he would need to see spot starts at 2b and cf. he's been a lot worse against RHP in his major league career, which doesn't make him an ideal platoon guy with fowler and russell, but i'm not sure if that's just a small sample size thing for mendy. He'd be used as a super sub, and if his future is with the Cubs, it's probably where he'll be. And that's by no means meant as a knock on him. If he was in the plans as a super sub at the MLB level, wouldn't we be using him similarly in AAA? I mean, Joe says his struggles were confidence related, but that may have been an effect of trying to learn CF, be ready to play third, or just not knowing which spot he'd be at day to day. When was the last time he's played in CF or 3B in Iowa?
  22. My response was too harsh, my apologies.
