    New market efficiency is rotating half your position players in at catcher.

    Underwood's gonna make some organization really happy someday. It'll be his 5th organization and it'll be as a waiver claim turned 7th inning reliever, but it'll happen.

    lol, Rizzo has almost as many votes as the other four 1B combined

    well one of these guys is going down at some point this season, you need 5-7 starters and neither Baez or Soler know how to play baseball. They will probably need someone, but using your best MLB trade assets for a short term stopgap isn't a great way to do it. So trade Baez/Soler for a SP if you want to(like if you think Bosio can fix Matt Moore, he's under control for 3.5 years), and I'm on board with trading for someone who can be a SP(I floated Drew Hutchison in another thread). Just don't trade Baez or Soler for someone who is not one or both of 1) really really good or 2) under control for a long time.
  5. Transmogrified Tiger
    Warren's complete lack of control this year is maybe the most disappointing part of this season.

    Is Eovaldi... clearly better than any of our current starters? No under team control long term? No So hard no on using Baez or Soler to acquire him. He's not at all a bad pitcher, but he sits in a weird spot where he doesn't currently displace an existing SP, but he's been good enough that you aren't buying low on potential. And even if you were, you don't get to enjoy that potential for more than a year. If either of the above factors were different I could get on board, but I don't like the fit for Eovaldi.

    Holy [expletive], you aren't kidding. I like the janky mascot's head getting knocked around in the celebration. http://i0.wp.com/www.thedisneymoviereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Lester.gif

    This is the entirety of the BP Southside recap of today's game.
  10. Transmogrified Tiger
    Strop had thrown 1 pitch since Wednesday, letting him face one hitter to stay sharp is a good compromise to me.

    That is maybe the Wrigley-est home run possible. Popped straight in the air, wind carries it at least 20 extra feet, lands in the basket in the shallow alley.
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    I had that thought for a moment too, but at the same time, Galvis didn't have to range far, and if that was hit right at someone in a normal fielding position it's a clear cut error, so I think that's the right call.
  13. Transmogrified Tiger
    A TOOTBLAN for Fowler but he mitigated his mistake by stopping. A lot of people would've just kept going to 3rd and not gotten the trailing runner to 2nd.
  14. Transmogrified Tiger
    They called the runner out for leaving the baseline before Zobrist even got the ball to first. This is also why the run doesn't count, since that and the forceout happened before he crossed the plate.
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    Zobrist is not good at handling those types of plays, so thank you whoever that was for leaping out of the baseline to make that decision for him.
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    My latest theory is that it's weaponized dentures.

    More to Velasquez the pitcher, it looks like once some video got out on him teams have started hitting him a bit better. After his first two starts(15 IP, 6 H, 0 ER, 25/3 K/BB), he's got a 3.87 ERA (4.58 RA) and hitters are hitting .262/.333/.454/.787.

    Russell and Baez both have tattoos, neither have a sleeve tattoo.

    This was the last play of the Mariners/Twins game, I've never seen a game ending play like it: http://m.mlb.com/video/v750632983/minsea-twins-close-out-the-game-on-a-double-play/?game_pk=447602

    The NBA is great for the 20 days a year that decide the season.
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    As much as I really like and want Teheran, something has to materially change in the next 6 weeks in order for him to be acquired. I mean, the worst ERA in the rotation is Lackey at 3.38, the worst FIP Hammel at 3.35. Someone has to get hurt or start tanking for a strong SP to be in the cards. That said, especially since Warren's control hasn't been so great as to inspire confidence if we don't add a starter, I wonder if they beef up the bullpen with someone who could potentially fill in as a SP, in a similar fashion as they did last year with Richard and Cahill. Matusz has been mentioned before, Hill was thought of this way(although that's increasingly unrealistic), someone like Drew Hutchison maybe?
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    and now a grand slam for Utley
