General Baseball Chit-Chat Thread
Transmogrified Tiger replied to David's topic in General Baseball Talk
Every so often I go back to his article on the guys that attacked the Royals first base coach at a White Sox game: https://www.espn.com/mlb/columns/ratto_ray/1434400.html -
Merryweather was said afterwards to be unavailable because he was warmed up multiple times on Saturday, though in the best case scenario someone has to be available to pitch the 9th too. Keller threw 46 pitches on Friday and somebody needs to be available in relief of Brown tomorrow(who is probably going to give you 5 max). It sucks to watch, but there isn't an obvious solution, you don't want to hamstring yourself for Monday in pursuit of *only* losing by 2 Sunday. Thanks to the Tokyo series interrupting preseason buildup they need to be cautious to avoid injury, and that means there aren't a lot of Plan Cs when you need the pen to give you 16 innings over 4 days with no off day coming til Thursday.
-
He's being brought along slowly after his lat injury, he didn't make his first ST appearance until after the Tokyo series.
-
The same reason Hodge(or Merryweather) didn't start the inning, no one can go back to back yet.
-
It does say the distance was 366 and Wrigley's corner is only 355, so given the lofted trajectory(plus the basket) I lean towards thinking it would be out.
-
Statcast says it's a homer in 29 parks but the breakdown of which one it would not be is not working for me. Very possible Wrigley is the 1.
-
The Cubs have never trailed in this game and led for 7 innings!
-
it's a good day to have Kyle Tucker (the day ends in y)
-
For April I'm mostly hoping to keep their head above water, so from a series perspective this is house money since they've secured the split. But these next 4 games are as nice an opportunity as they'll get to bank some more wins and potentially let them get a few games over .500 after the homestand. Hopefully Boyd looks sharp, we should see Kelly in a good matchup and a lefty might help get Seiya going. Maybe Turner starts too to get him some first series reps?
-
If you've been convinced that Pressly should be a low leverage reliever since he was acquired I guess that's one thing, but we just can't do this on March 30th and pretend we have clear insight to what the rest of the season will look like based on 5 games across 2 weeks(and continents). This goes doubly for pitchers who have had their season ramp disrupted more with the Tokyo trip, and have started with road games against 2 of the best offenses in the game.

Thank you

CALL IT

did a Cub throw all of Suarez's belongings in a river or something
-
Oh so it's bad now when you do J drills at a 50% success rate? It's not good when your shortstop plays with the urgency of a grandma sitting in a rocking chair with a glass of sweet tea?
-
I'm fully prepared for the same rotation, heck I can still tell you what the Garden CLAW (tm) stands for 30 years later. But as someone who lives 500 feet from a QT and goes there for meals I mean snacks way too often, if you're playing their commercial too frequently for me there's a problem!
-
laughed out loud at that glove flip, incredible stuff
-
MLB.tv is already pushing it's luck with the repeat commercials, almost every half inning I'm getting the same QT commercial 2 or even 3 times in a row
-
why don't they just make the whole plane out of Shota
-
I don't think he's a big plus out there, but the awkwardness is mostly down to him having to track laser beams hit directly behind him. Even though he wasn't far from it, catching that ball from Smith is functionally impossible given the velocity and trajectory.
-
wow Suarez only hit that one 355 feet probably time for him to hang em up preferably before he comes up again in this game
-
Naylor will not rest until he has endangered every Cubs hitter
