  1. Randy got to hang out in the MLB clubhouse for his birthday, what a neat present
  2. Garcia can play SS too, although I bet they'll be awfully tempted to try Gyorko considering they didn't have enough infield spots to go around before with Carpenter, Gyorko, Martinez, and Wong.
  3. I'm not sure about the translation of those combine tests. Jontay Porter cracked the top 5 in the shuttle run, and watching him play nearly 30 games he is...not explosive or laterally quick.
  4. This is less directed at you individually since lots of people do this, but what's the basis for saying that Naylor is or isn't going to stick at catcher? A few sentences from other articles? A youtube clip or two? I don't want to be a gatekeeper but I also don't think there's much to any of our prognostications about the development of high school draftees other than pure guesswork.
  5. Further evidence for my theory that Randy Quaid doesn't know that he's an actor.
  6. Silver lining of missing the world cup, picking our roster and starters given the injuries and lack of form would've been a nightmare! https://www.starsandstripesfc.com/2018/5/17/17365144/usmnt-world-cup-roster-selection-difficult-decision
  7. I still have a hard time grasping that a guy who looks like next-gen Juan Uribe is that good at the plate.
  8. Let's check in with Little after this post: 1B, 1B, FO, K, HR, 1B, HR, FO
  9. If the Dodgers play at a 95 win pace for the rest of the year, they’d end up with the same number of wins as the current wild card leaders, assuming those teams play .500 for the rest of the year and none of the other teams right behind those leaders surpass them. Famous last words and all, but the Dodgers appear to be done.
  10. Good, McCarthy absolutely did not deserve to get through 5 scoreless
  11. Lol at Willson winning the sell-off on that ball 4
  12. Will someone please lock Ozzie Albies in a closet or something, this is approaching Nieuwenheisian levels.
  13. Brewers gonna win 85 games against non-Cubs teams and miss the playoffs because they go 3-16 against the Cubs.
  14. We have 7 position players playing at a 3+ win pace and Rizzo isn't one of them. On the other side of the ledger, we have 4 pitchers playing at a 1+ win pace, 3 are relievers and the other is somehow Chatwood.
  15. This just isn't a great comeback. Because, really, both fan bases would take our last three years over their last three years and both would take our year this year so far, too. I mean yeah, I would for sure. But let's not act like the Dodgers are going away. They'll be contending for the next decade for sure. As opposed to the Cubs making their last stand this year?
  16. Can you sum up the article for ppl who don't have a subscription? They're targeting position players for the first four picks we have or balancing it between pitching and hitting? I wouldn't be surprised if the Cubs decided to target young position players w/ high ceilings because right now we suck at finding/developing pitching prospects selected in the MLB draft. The article is at Baseball America and does not require a subscription.
  17. At first I thought that was a riff on the speech Thanos’s right hand man made at the start of Infinity War, but nope, just weird
  18. Plot twist, Almora races him in the last game of the series and wins by 50 yards, revealing his true form in a brilliant bit of viral marketing for the Incredibles 2
  19. I like this because in Chip’s bitter example he’s sarcastically surprised that the call doesn’t incorrectly call the Cubs player out automatically.
  20. Who are the beat reporters supposed to ask that question to? The most in-the-know people on that front are in the dugout.
