  1. Maddon continuing to troll the Astros by using Wood instead of a real reliever even after back to back HR
  2. If they like Montgomery as a lefty reliever and they don't want a 3rd lefty, then I think it's relatively straight forward: Chapman, Rondon, Strop, Edwards, Grimm, Hammel, Montgomery If they like Wood better or they need a 3rd lefty for their opponent, the decisions are less clear cut. Give me Cahill over Hammel. Motion denied

  4. Cahill going 2 innings in relief is a pretty implicit slap in the face by Maddon "Yeah we have about 7 good relievers to throw at you but we don't really need to dig into that tonight"
  5. "Cubs offense fails to score in final 5 innings, could haunt them come playoffs" writes Rogers
  6. If you had asked me to guess Cahill's ERA before seeing that graphic I would've been off by at least a run.
  7. Walked a couple guys in his last inning it looks like, but 4 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 6/2 K/BB is nothing to sneer at.
  8. So sorry to hear this. I never met Fred in person(not for lack of effort on his part), but he was always great to interact with here. Thoughts and prayers with the Hornkohl family.
  9. I'm imagining that all the infielders are hooting and hollering while these plays are happening, maybe have Kawasaki hopping in and out of the dugout like a hype man
  10. so they wanted to do an actual thing but caved and did something meaningless. good for them. it's absolutely the opposite of what kaepernick is doing, whether those are their intentions or not. it gives the people who disagree with kaepernick a perfect thing to endorse, because it does nothing and will be immediately forgotten. Yes, that is the cynical interpretation. I agree it's less effective than Kaepernick(or the few Dolphins players that kneeled on the same field today), but the anger comes across as anger for anger's sake. The topic isn't going away, and maybe they're doing a more muted demonstration because it's 9/11(speculation on my part).
  11. Rarely do games give you the opportunity to so thoroughly demonstrate "we're better than you at literally everything" like this.
  12. A Seahawks player took a knee in the last preseason game in solidarity with Kaepernick, and per the team a large group of them wanted to take a knee with hand over their heart, but some players with military family/backgrounds weren't on board and they wanted every player to do the same thing. It's a pretty big stretch to say that they're sending the opposite message as Kaepernick, maybe a less effective one but that's up for debate.
  13. also I think some of the Little League World Series home runs went farther than that they were hit by taller kids too
  14. the ESPN on screen graphics overlaid with real action make me want to scream in a pillow, because I am a crazy person about this stuff
  15. that at bat is a great example of why it's so funny to see opposing fans get upset at Rizzo's placement in the box and claim "they should just throw it right at his hands, it's a strike"
  16. why did Buster have to relay the actual rule to the booth that contains multiple ex-players
  17. lol CB Bucknor explaining to Correa how the rules work between that and Gonzalez explaining the appeal they all look like clowns
  18. Eloy added to Myrtle Beach's roster.
  19. Also not needed. How about people be grown ups, not a high bar.
  20. Best way to do this is to quote one post, and then when you get to where you want another quote, scroll down and click the quote button [ " ] on that recent posts at the bottom of the page:
  21. Why would Szczur coming off the bag indicate anything Vasgersian, there's two outs
