    Nice

    I like Mojo, but he has been insufferable from his first day here. You know, at times.
  3. Tim
    Obviously, you are referring to the home/neutral site Cubs, right?
  4. Tim
    Rizzo's baaaaaack

    I liked ARod's work in the studio. He *really* sucks in the booth, though.

    The field mic is freaking me out. I think every ball in play is a home run based on the sound.

    IMO, Houston, Dodgers & Yankees are the top 3 FO's.
  8. Tim
    Wait. What?

    All I can think of when I read this post is that I should really add a wanking emoji.

    A situation where municipalities are pressured into subsidizing another round of brand new buildings is not a solution to anything. The Cubs just spent money to make Wrigley viable, there is no space to go bigger. They aren't getting another Yankee Stadium or Fenway or Citi or PNC, etc. Definitely, I wasn't meaning that. I meant as ballparks naturally get built that it would factor into the process. That is obviously a very long-term solution, but within the next 30 years probably 15-20 ballparks will get replaced (that would actually be fewer than the last 30 years, which I would expect the rate of new ballparks to slow down). If even half the ballparks are huge that will fundamentally change the league, roster decisions, even players and how they try to optimize launch angle. So essentially take the Coors field approach everywhere

    Well, you could make Wrigley about 4-5 feet "bigger" by removing the basket. After that you're out of luck.

    I have to admit I was skeptical about the castellanos trade. I was wrong.
  13. Tim
    Dodgers doing their part, too

    Man, Chatwood has such nasty stuff when he throws strikes.
  15. Tim
    Why can't I have Javy at short and Ryno at 2B?

    1) This might be the most meaningless split I've ever seen 2) If you really want to use it...you're making the case that Russell's individual success is negatively correlated with the team success. So... :good: ?

    Ball six to Almora...

    Are you talking about Willson Contreras? The converted infielder who has been the primary catcher the past four years? You are disappointed they handed the keys to him, 4 years ago? Four years they've largely spent in 1st place and been among the best teams in baseball. That disappoints you? I don't really like him as a catcher and our pitching has degraded each year hes been our fulltime catcher. So, yes. He's had the keys. But they have an opportunity to hand those keys to a better defender. So I'll rephrase and say that I'll be disappointed if he retains those keys. by pretty much every account I've ever read, the guy works his ass off to get better and is very open to instruction. I'd be interested in where you are getting your info that he has no "desire" to improve. Or admit that's [expletive] and what you really mean to say is that he simply hasn't gotten better at that aspect of the game.

    Does anyone know much about Nylander?
  20. Tim
    Yeah, the affiliates really should stick to sports, right? I mean, if they start taking political positions, then it might infect sports-related discussions on internet message boards or some damn thing.
  21. Tim
    That was a swing from Casali, too
  22. Tim
    Screwed again. There's no way a ball hits there in the dirt and bounds out to the third baseman that far off the foul line
  23. Tim
    Hahahahahahahaha
  24. Tim
    Saying it was a steal would have been overboard. Saying it was a "huge steal" earned the call out, I think. It was a nice trade that improved the second or third line. But it did not address the need for a top-pairing defenseman, and it did not address the overload they have on the roster.
  25. Tim
    Nope. Pitch counts in the rookie league only get accumulated on decisive pitches.
