  1. man, i was just thinking that between getting to see the bulls dynasty (and at the age i saw it at) and then seeing the cubs win that world series and the way they did it, i am pretty horsefeathering well set for life as far as sports fan stuff goes. Plus you got to see that Kanye concert. Amazing horsefeathering show
  2. well, harper has been on average about a 5.3 win player per full season of his career, so 70% of that would be a 3.7 win player which is pretty good
  3. Ah, I miss watching Ken Griffey Jr. (in his prime) hit, but what's the point in mentioning it lol. Also, Ichiro when he first came over was something else. Manny was a great hitter, but I never felt that awe-inspired watching him hit. manny was a goofy horsefeathers who, to steal from your old sig, approached an at bat like mozart while everyone else was salieri

  5. The comparisons that I heard are more like a healthy Bryant rather than Schwarber. he doesn't walk nearly enough to warrant such a comp
  6. we're already long past the point of people praising cost benefit analyses over teams actually trying to win more than other teams, and criticizing fans who would rather watch teams try to win. i mean, good on milwaukee for trying to win, but if thinking they're stupid for trading more for their haul of crap than it probably would've taken to get manny machado (i haven't really looked into it but i'm gonna go with that) = said cost benefit analysis, i guess i'm guilty here but i generally agree with what you're saying
  7. Eloy is jorge 2.0, now with fewer walks (no but seriously i'm just saying if he's going to be some great player he's gonna have to hit a hell of a lot to make up for probably being a bad defender at a not so valuable position)
  8. for the record, i never follow or watch brewers games (like on a play by play basis). i do check the scores afterward or the next day from time to time, but i don't really gaf. if they were like 5 games behind them like they were last year, then i probably would.
  9. Probably a typo where they meant 12
  10. this is cracking me up one of my favorite players ever :dontknow:
  11. Man, I really miss watching Manny Ramirez hit.
  12. In the five days since I posted this, the position player rankings have shifted a bit.
  13. he's in the conversation [tweet] [/tweet]
  14. well that's horsefeathering awesome. great to hear.
  15. [tweet] [/tweet]
  16. Manny Ramirez had a 14% career walk rate.
  17. splitting no series is really horsefeathering bad. it's baseball. come on already. there's literally no sample of 4 games that can be considered really horsefeathering bad, no matter what the results. no 4 game sample is some referendum on a baseball team or something. especially not one that was split. hahaahahha man this is peak david i mean if getting bent out of shape whenever baseball baseballs and good teams SPLIT a horsefeathering series with a bad team is how you chose to enjoy baseball, go you. seems insane to me, but go nuts.

  19. Alcides Escobar has a career wRC+ of 69, while Russell is at 91. That's an even bigger difference than 2017 and 2018 Anthony Rizzo. I think you might be underrating Russell's bat just a tad. What is Russell these days? I assume that takes in account his first season? Because he's gotten much more worthless over time. Maybe I'll come around when he finds a way to slug .400 again. ETA: I must correct myself. His second offensive year was the year when I thought he could be awesome. Russell is at a 93 wRC+ this season. So, higher than that career number mentioned earlier.
  20. Russell is an above average everyday player who is 24. He isn't crappy. That's a laughable package for Trout, but he isn't crappy. Russell is about to start getting expensive and plays great defense and doesn't do horsefeathers on offense. I can find that guy a ton cheaper and get value for a guy that hopefully others think isn't horsefeathers. He's likely a 3+ win player this year, barring injury. He's not going to be expensive enough to not have surplus value there anytime soon.
  21. Yeah, that might not even get half of Trout. Why would a team trade the best player of this generation for a crappy Russell, crappy Almora, Happ and some not top-5 MLB prospects? Russell is an above average everyday player who is 24. He isn't crappy. That's a laughable package for Trout, but he isn't crappy.
  22. I'm at Buffalo wild wings and the bears game without a single player likely to see snaps playing has the audio
