  1. Reed, Swarzak, Nicasio, Kintzler and Shaw are the names that jump out at me. Lots of options from the right side. McGee is the only lefty there that intrigues me. Last offseason there was talk of trading for Colome or Edwin Diaz. Both kind of had down years this season, but I'd still be interested in either. Can they be had at the right price, and are their down years cause for long-term concern?
  2. all these guards are going to be so damn fun.
  3. yeah, i'm feeling pretty good heading into the announcement. every writer out there seems quite confident he'll choose illinois. but of course, i'm leaving room for the usual illinois-recruitment disappointment.
  4. There was an article a year or two ago that talked about expansion and relocation. If I remember correctly, the general plan was to relocate Oakland and Tampa first and then add two expansion teams, so the end result is 32 teams with 4 new cities getting franchises. I'm curious if that's still the goal and what other two cities would wind up with franchises. I want to say Nashville, Indiana, Mexico City, Puerto Rico, a third Texas team, and the Carolinas were all mentioned as possibilities at that time. I'm not so worried about diluting talent, as the expansion of the talent pool (population growth, international signings, etc.) has outpaced the expansion of the league. But it is definitely a concern as to whether there are cities out there to support franchises. I'm not a traditionalist by any means, but getting rid of the NL/AL setup would take some getting used to.

  6. Walked a couple guys also though. Yeah, he had a couple of close misses on full counts, he hadn't had his command desert him. And he finished the inning by inducing weak contact from the last 2 hitters. If you want to go to the bullpen there, fine. He threw a couple pitches on Thursday, 3rd time thru the order, 2 runs given up last inning. But giving him a short leash in the 6th would've been fine too. Right, the walks weren't such that I lost faith in him. He was trying to make pitches on the outside edge and missing close.
  7. 12 pitches. You're watching the game right? He was finished. Yes. At 89 pitches, one hard hit and two walks that weren't so much wild as they were nibbling on the outside edge, I'll take my chances on another inning from him over trying to squeeze 4 outta this bullpen that's taxed and struggling mightily.
  8. Because he's done since he just pitched 2 days ago. 12 pitches.
  9. I generally love Joe, but man what a dumb decision.
  10. Lmao this and the tactical advantage tweet or what the "shot, chaser" meme was made for.
  11. This still haunts me.
  12. Heyward against a lefty is weird but it looks like we're going for a combination of super defense lineup and destroy lefties lineup.
  13. it was terrible and compounded by the fact that we haven't gotten one of those calls all damn series.
  14. so good.
  15. That lineup is lhp nightmare fuel. This is gonna be fun.
  16. kyle is the reverse javy baez
  17. Yes, you get the opportunity to pick a 25 man roster each round. Last year they took out a position player for another reliever for the NLCS, probably because of the 5 to 7 game series shift. so you're telling me lackey is probably safe?
  18. if it turns out Jake is good to go, they could add Rondon back in for the NLCS, right?
  19. making daniel murphy look silly a couple of times in key situations would certainly be a great way for him to redeem himself.
  20. yeah i mean i wouldn't exactly be laughing at them for acquiring josh donaldson
  21. Really? horsefeathers...who was it? Erik? Some rando dude called Chuck_Cubs!, who had a poster of The Love Guru as his avatar: http://www.northsidebaseball.com/archive/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=52926&p=2090310&hilit=thick+onion+gravy#p2090310 His relatively small posting history is not...illustrious: http://www.northsidebaseball.com/archive/search.php?keywords=&terms=all&author=chuck_cubs1&sc=1&sf=all&sr=posts&sk=t&sd=d&st=0&ch=300&t=0&submit=Search the Wakefield signature always ties the whole persona together for me.
