    Makes more sense than Ross, I'm down with this. Also, sucks to be the rule 5 so and so, he's gotta hope a reliever dies in ST now.

    Friedman's gonna make the most efficient 88 win team you ever saw

    Came to post the same. How is that not a safety or at least down at the one? I don't know the exact wording, but I'm pretty sure the rules are written to be pretty lenient on recoveries that carry you into the end zone. On one of the replays it looked like one of the defender's legs was already in the end zone as he grabbed the ball, so he gets a fair amount of leeway to roll into the end zone.

    Warren was really the 6th starter out of camp, right? Yes, forgot about him. Similar logic applies, although Warren was better as a starter. On the topic of rotation depth, Texas is hoping Ross can be good to go by the stretch run. He was not an answer to any questions. http://www.star-telegram.com/sports/mlb/texas-rangers/article127532574.html

    Our 6th and 7th starters last year were Wood and Cahill. Both had good 2015's but only as relievers, so we aren't really talking about a super high bar. Especially if the front office believes at all in Zastryzny's MLB performance, whatshisname the Rule 5 pick, etc.

    You get the audience you ask for, I guess. The Fangraphs list was a very good read. Interesting that he was especially bullish on Candelario's bat and especially bearish on his defense, and that description of Eloy's bat is drool-worthy. Rosario at #10 is proof positive that it's basically ignoring anything that isn't a scouting perspective, but it's still fine if you understand that lens.

    If you'll forgive me being pedantic I think it's probably similarly likely that it's a trade+develop situation, a la Arrieta. Of course given the timing that means the trade+develop has to be Montgomery or someone who is added before opening day so maybe not exactly likely, but I wouldn't undersell the possibility of trading for a guy and fixing them.

    The damage is that the Cubs are basically guaranteed to be playing in the FA market for at least one SP next year, and one of the potential options disappeared. Even if the Cubs had zero interest(I didn't really think he was all that interesting, but I think Tyson Ross is dead and the FO sure didn't), that's bad. It's not 'oh no how will they cope' bad, but inarguably bad nonetheless.

    I saw that picture and my first thought was 'man, Biden just doesn't care at all anymore'.

    Liverpool what are you wearing

    are the fg projected standings based on steamer? i wonder why the gap is so wide that we're basically even (or slightly behind - depending on what day i check) with LA. Yes they are. ZiPS rightly recognizes that the Cubs position players are streets ahead of the Dodgers, mostly because they aren't afraid to recognize that Rizzo/Bryant is the best position player combination in MLB and not two run of the mill all-stars.

    NL ZiPS depth charts Cubs 51 WAR (this was before Davis and Uehara so probably 52 now) Dodgers 43 Giants 42 Nationals 40 Cardinals 38 Marlins 33 Diamondbacks 30 Braves 28 Brewers 26 Padres 21 The Cardinals are closer to the Brewers than the Cubs.

    I find sports radio a decent way to pass the time while at work or driving as long as they aren't talking about teams I care about. Then their universally terrible arguments and opinions are more amusing than infuriating.
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    Damn this would have been an instant buy if it wasn't for that Cubs logo on the middle piece. Why does so much memorabilia stuff ruin the cool things they make with that type of stuff? It's crazy.

    I haven't watched the video, I just wonder if every mechanics guru not actually employed by a team realizes it's because their one true way worldview makes them look like a conspiracy theorist.

    I've watched a YouTube video of Heyward doing specialized drills and have concluded the following 15 things are wrong. Please forward my comments so he might see them and seek better hitting counsel. PS I am not a crackpot

    FWIW, I've never seen the Athletic advertised at $10/month. It's always been between $2+ and $5 from the modals they put on articles. If I cared about any Chicago teams besides the Cubs I'd probably subscribe, they make sure to have an extremely high signal to noise ratio.

    The hat and glasses REALLY underscores the mouth of Sauron vibe.

    Rademacher and Bloomquist

    QB gets crown of helmet to the jaw, RB pushes the perpetrator, end result is 1st and 25. Football is terrific.
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    Vlad had a 10.9% K rate for his career, holy smokes Healthy Andre Dawson would be another interesting best case.
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    Hey now, Better off Ted was legitimately amazing.

    How I Met Your Mother I don't know if I've seen every last episode, but if we're fudging that part then Friends would be alongside it.
