That's not Kyle, that stump isn't passing the ball backwards.

There's too much of a good thing, and then there's way too much of an okay joke. Random pictures and gifs of seals(a dozen in less than 2 pages of this thread, for example) every time La Stella's name comes up isn't humor.

They're using "on the best team in baseball" as an additional filter, it looks like.

how in the hell is that information readily available? Petriello works on Statcast stuff -
he was shaded way up the middle too, mercy
-
13 Cubs have at least 100 PA, 11 of them have a higher wOBA than McCutchen this year.

Not that there was a particularly GOOD time to bring in Bastardo, but it's worth pointing out that this is the 5th consecutive RH he's faced since entering.

I'm glad Willson put one to the wall so I don't have to feel bad about that balk call being the most ticky tack thing I've seen in a long time

yes, perfect timing on an edit

How on earth do you not list Rodriguez amongst the lunatics? http://i.imgur.com/WJYrcV7.gif
-
The only Pirates that want to be playing baseball right now are the lunatics(Harrison, Cervelli, Rodriguez). Everyone else wants to go home.
-
amazing restraint by every umpire not to kick Cervelli every time he goes into his crouch
-
two lazy plays by Polanco in this game
-
The only purpose of this game is maximizing humiliation for Harrison
-
Add Clint Hurdle to the list of managers who don't care if his infielders live or die
-
but can he stick at 3rd
-
I will forever root for Perakslis to make the big leagues just to make a BOW BEFORE PERAKSLIS joke. Farris and McNeil have some middle relief potential too.
-
kinda weird to bring him up on 8/31, but I guess you can tell Pena or Patton to hang out at home for a day and not be any worse off.
-
He also might be a better reliever than Montgomery outright.
-
ugh, brain fart on my part That leaves the door open to considering Montgomery over Hammel I guess, although as much as they seem to not trust 2nd half Hammel I'd be surprised if they entrusted Montgomery with a potential postseason start just so they could have two middle inning lefties.
-
Wood is pitching full innings/facing RHP because the regular season is a long grind without many days off, and multiple late inning relievers are hurt. Neither will be true in the playoffs. Wood isn't going to be asked to get Justin Turner or Buster Posey out in the playoffs when Chapman, Rondon, Strop, Edwards, and Grimm are all there and there's multiple off days over the course of a 5-7 game series.

I don't think Almora makes the roster, they aren't going to defensively replace Fowler and the difference in 1-2 innings of Almora in LF over Szczur isn't all that much. Plus they can use Baez in a similar fashion by moving Bryant/Zobrist to the OF. Last year they went 11 pitchers for both the NLDS and NLCS and kept 5 starters, which means Cahill is definitely out, and Hammel bumps a reliever, I'll guess Montgomery. It also looks like Montero is trending towards not being on the roster, but with 14 position players I don't see a path to leaving him out if Almora isn't there. The wild card is if they want another Quentin Berry type on the roster. The closest thing in Iowa is Kris Negron and he's a poor man's Quentin Berry, so they'd need to go outside the org and do it today. That's what could push Montero(or Coghlan if he doesn't hit in September) off the roster. So basically, Apete's roster, plus Hammel and Coghlan, minus Montgomery and Almora, with the chance a speedster bumps Coghlan or Montero.

Nigel De Jong to Galatasaray. Good riddance, now he can't snap any more legs in MLS.
