what the horsefeathers are you doing here go find your running shoes

That inning is on Willson schwarber swung at 3 straight fastballs up and in (and out of the zone)

schwarbs what the horsefeathers

that's been the case this year. i know i read it recently. maybe BN or maybe Duke's post. https://www.fangraphs.com/pitchfx.aspx?playerid=4940&position=OF&pitch=FA https://www.fangraphs.com/pitchfx.aspx?playerid=4940&position=OF&pitch=SL https://www.fangraphs.com/pitchfx.aspx?playerid=4940&position=OF&pitch=CU https://www.fangraphs.com/pitchfx.aspx?playerid=4940&position=OF&pitch=CH

and without looking i'm gonna guess they've played fewer games than the teams around them in the rankings Yep. And even better way to put the RD into perspective: +87 in 54 games = on pace for +261 RD for the season 2016 Cubs RD: +252 ohhhhhh that's the good stuff

Win shares can be based so much on usage and rates. Jordan's peak was played within an offense that encouraged him to share the ball and Pippen did a majority of the ball control. LeBron is in an offense that is stand and watch LeBron play. I think it's why so many of his teammates that were stars before him(Bosh and Love) struggle to find roles with him. I personally believe LeBron would have been even better than he is if he would have been forced to play for a coach like a Phil Jackson that could have convinced him that he needed other teammates capable of making big plays to win championships. Either way, it's splitting hairs. I have no problem with LeBron being someone's choice as the best. But, I don't think it is insane to still suggest Jordan could be as well. The main pet peeve I have now is the people that argue out of one side of their mouth how watered down the league was when Jordan played, but then prop Pippen up like he was somehow immune to that. Sure seems convenient. What? LeBron has a usage of 31.5% for his career. Jordan 33.3% I'm not taking sides of this but I've literally never heard anyone say Jordan's edge is that he shared the ball and LeBron doesn't. LeBron is a facilitator and an incredibly skilled passer and one of the most common criticisms people levy against him is that he's too willing to defer at times he needs to take over. What in the hell? EDIT - LeBron career AST% - 35.7% (and in the 40's the last couple years) MJ - 24.9% (and only eclipsed 30% two times, one of which was one of those dumb Wizards seasons) Also Phil Jackson is overrated as hell and is a complete dinosaur in today's NBA...someone like him would do nothing for LBJ. EDIT 2 - and reminder that i horsefeathering hate lebron james

This very well could be true, but a washed up Jordan did go for 20/6/4 against the guys that were LeBron's contemporaries. The guys from 15 years ago?

Correa HR, Cubs now have the 2nd best RD in baseball and without looking i'm gonna guess they've played fewer games than the teams around them in the rankings

go get those two runs back, idiots

oh weird the ump forgot to signal strike 1 there

horsefeathers YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

yisssssssssssssssssss

i know lol

lmao willy can't stand chatwood and gimenez is gonna end up being his personal catcher

Meh. It's the All Star team, not the All-VORP team. Stars drive in runs and hit dongs. VORP you!

are they delusional enough to have hope of winning this series? yeah, they could've won that game, but come on. if it were baseball where either team can realistically win any series, that would've been way more heartbreaking, i agree, but it's the nba. that being the case, 2003 nlcs g6 and g7 losses were both way more painful to anyone with any grasp on reality. even if they're destined to lose this series and lebron, it still would have been an awesome memory to see him drop 50 and steal the first game. i doubt their heavy underdog status makes it much less painful. awesome memory, i suppose I agree...although i'm not sure how much that's worth years later after losing the series...especially given that they actually won one a couple years ago. worse than the cubs blowing two shots at going to the world series for the first time in almost 60 years when they actually had a legitimate chance to win it (for the first time in almost 100)? eh.

it's 2018 and the all star ballot still only shows triple crown stats and stolen bases

are they delusional enough to have hope of winning this series? yeah, they could've won that game, but come on. if it were baseball where either team can realistically win any series, that would've been way more heartbreaking, i agree, but it's the nba. that being the case, 2003 nlcs g6 and g7 losses were both way more painful to anyone with any grasp on reality.

All it took was this idiot saying something. He puts Duke to shame.

lmfao JR

there you go

Ben Zobrist: Somehow Not Javy Baez at Tagging

In terms of jackhole local newspaper humps, bloggers and radio/TV guys looking to fill space/time? Absolutely. Obviously nobody was talking about in the context of how many people regularly show up to the games, so that was just a pointless tangent to begin with. All of these markets, however, have obsessive local media outlets picking over the local teams and players. Chicago is nothing special in that regard, and it's an absurdly lame bit of masochistic egotism to think so. I mean, what the heck do you guys think the (actually) four sports stations in Atlanta talk about? "Uhm, I dunno...maybe we'll talk about sports eventually. Does anyone else really like Coke and flying on Delta?" they may be there but i'm not sure a lot of people are listening or caring. goff used to work in that market and said it was a completely different animal.

oh man how great is the heel turn effect gonna get when we get harper?
