is that all? seriously tho, let's go horsefeathers 21-7 against these horsefeathers ass teams and get to 95. just out of curiosity, what was the ridiculous run the 2015 team went on over the last few weeks to actually get to 97? i remember it being pretty ridiculous (and i'm too busy righ tnow to do more than ask about it here) -
[tweet] [/tweet] [tweet] [/tweet] Cubs RD ranks 7th in baseball (one more game against the Reds away from the DBacks for 6th) and they basically did it from a good amount (7 or 8 games) past the halfway point of the season. I also remember the Cardinals tying (or even being ahead of us) in RD maybe 3 weeks ago. We're now nearly double theirs, lol.

The other names on that graphic make me think being on the graphic doesn't mean all that much. well, a - it's just one stat... like looking at obp on it's own without looking at slg. it's not like it's some all encompassing composite performance metric. and b - yes, obviously, preseason stats are meaningless, especially against the competition he mostly faced, but it's still cool to see the trait everyone raved about him translate directly into his performance to the point that he was the best of any qb

I honestly don't think either makes the WS and think at least one loses in the DS. i honestly don't think anything specific happens because literally anything can and will. and yeah, you're probably right about neither making the WS.

So the Astros have actually surpassed the Dodgers' World Series odds on Fangraphs (by a hair). 18.8% to 17.6%

javy with an unintentional walk...whaaaaaaat

what'd he say? coomer was speculating about a player calling him to recruit him or something and wondering whether it would be tampering
-
i was so disappointed by this better just be an addition (or temporary) and not a replacement
-
apparently pat and ron have no idea about the "verlander was waiting hoping the cubs would get a deal done" storyline
-
this game is on WGN not CSN btw
-
significant injuries for both teams too
-
don't look now but the cubs are now 5th in MLB in runs scored, 4th in OPS, 4th in dongs, 4th in wOBA, 7th wRC+, as for all those worries about the defense, 5th in DRS and 5th in uzr/150

i got it for the first time from going an hour on a treadmill this past winter. wasn't even a super intense hour. anyway, it took like a month to go away and was like a stabbing pain whenever i walked. awful. any cardio i've done since has been low impact.

seems odd to make a move for next year at the playoff roster deadline. not that it couldn't be. but we have a month to figure out if he has a place on the playoff roster. thats what a verlander trade would have been largely about if it happened. Every move they've made this season has been as much about 2018 as 2017. well, sure, largely (even though it still has pretty considerable significance for the 2017 playoff run), but that's more because the tigers were working on the august 30th clock with other teams. i don't think people were knocking down the door on martin. i'm pretty sure the cubs got him in case a need arises for an OF or he somehow otherwise plays his way into a playoff role as a baserunning (not good this year)/defense guy.

what a big loss it would've been for the city if the sox had moved

i remember when he was one of the pieces we were trying to get in the garza (or was it dempster? - i think garza) trade

leh-oh-neece

Honestly, what do you have to lose? This isn't a Lovie situation where the players loved him. This isn't even a Trestman situation where the playbook goes out the door with him. I don't think there are any players worthwhile that are closely tied to him and would miss him. Loggains and Fangio stay. Make Fangio the head coach. Make Donatell DC. Loggains keeps calling the offense, and let him make the QB decision for Week 1. yeah, I think Fangio is the next HC of this team anyway. I theoretically hate the idea of trying to force a DC on a new HC like we did with arians/marinelli, but I'd much rather hire someone offensive minded and retain fangio as DC. fangio doesn't really strike me as HC material either. hell, i'm open to the idea that loggains might be a competent coach after the way he made a couple shitty QBs look decent last year (moving the ball...shitty QBs and shitty skill players aren't going to get you in the end zone much no matter how well you scheme) and I have liked how he has called plays in the preseason (well prior to the bizarre things that happened yesterday but yesterday's game is meaningless)....all of that is to say i think i'd rather see loggains elevated to HC than fangio, but i reserve the right to determine that a few months from now. but yeah, option a is hire someone else altogether and i'd love if they could pull off keeping fangio around. would love payton.

well, that horsefeathering sucks. now we can't get him at all. at least it's not the dodgers (or brewers - lol?) i guess.

[tweet] [/tweet] this is weird, although he was decent just last year and hasn't played that much this year
