  1. think a few of us might've been able to match the sprint speed there
  2. As best as I can tell from the fragmented replays, Craig jumped up to the top step to yell something after the call, Valentine yelled "sit down" and Counsell said "shut up" in response and got run.
  3. that is an extremely obvious swing, give me a break
  4. Send 👏 Ozzie 👏 Albies 👏 To 👏 The 👏 Hague
  5. Acuna didn't deserve to be on first anyway
  6. Agreed, against a RHSP with Lopez's velocity and heatmap, you definitely want Mastrobuoni's left handedness and ability to handle that zone. To say nothing of the fact that playing Wisdom instead of Mastrobuoni requires someone at 2B who has been a below average *corner* infielder and who the team wants reps on the corner.
  7. I think Craig is just listening to the experts. “Already tired of Wisdom” “Wisdom shouldn’t face any righties or be playing in the field. Hopefully Counsell learned something today” “Wisdom is useless against RHP”
  8. This has been a wild day of soccer news. Marsch to Canada, Sergio Ramos maybe signing with San Diego, this guy signing for a Romanian club and then having his twin brother play instead, just all around nutty
  9. I actually am interested to see Cuas back with the team again(I missed his outing during his 24 hour callup), but it would be very, very funny for Wicks to get activated like, tomorrow and Cuas sent back to Iowa again
  10. I'm being a bit cheeky, but to actually put words to my thoughts, I think that is a niche enough concern that if your two best starters are LH already(not to mention Wicks down-rotation), then it probably is not the biggest value add to chase further LHH dominance in a rotation acquisition.
  11. *spongebob meme pointing at Steele and Shota*
  12. Kopech would be the headlining RP name, he hasn't been top of scale dominant but with that stuff and 1.5 years of control he'd still have a decent pricetag.
  13. He probably is a little banged up from the slide into second yesterday, but as far as I know him being taken out was purely to improve late inning defense, like has happened about a dozen other times so far this year.
  14. The Cardinals won today, but that snapped a 7 game losing streak and they are already 8 games out of the division and have the 3rd worst record in the NL. Marmol got ejected today after *winning* a challenge by screaming 'don't look at me' at the umpire from the dugout: Goldschmidt hit a HR today that raised his OPS to about .550. Their pop up hitters(Nootbaar, Donovan) and high pedigree prospects(Walker, Gorman) have all faceplanted. Contreras was killing the ball but he broke his arm after they made him move forward to compensate for his framing deficiencies. Their 'be the 2023 Mets with one third of the talent' approach to the rotation has had predictable results(24th in SP WAR). Jordan Hicks and Jack Flaherty escaped their pitching development and immediately became good again. Things are getting dire quickly.
  15. Also that Gomes flyout has a higher xBA than all but 2 balls the Pirates have hit today, it cannot be emphasized enough how little they deserve to win this game.
  16. Honestly green light Madrigal, Gomes chances are limited to his walk rate
  17. The Cubs survive an inning of nonsense, and their reward is they get to play nonsense baseball
  18. Avoiding a strikeout 1 out of 10 times more often doesn't mean he's more likely to score the runner, especially given current form and the fact they're facing an elite RHRP.
  19. Nick I know that elbow is probably sore but you gotta leave it in there man, channel your inner Amaya
  20. Not sure I'm on board with the 'pull Morel in the late innings' bit when he's due up 7th and it's a tie game in the bottom of the 8th.
  21. takes him longer to take a bathroom break because he stops and narrates everything that's happening in the hallway to and from
