  1. kyle looked really good there very annoying at bat with belt
  2. ehh baez has like an 8% walk rate for his career vs lefties, which is pretty respectable, and around a .340 OBP including his awful 2014. and, for whatever it's worth, almora has walked like 8% of the time in his limited time vs lefties (with a ridiculous .315/.367/.589 line) i don't have any issue with it vs a lefty also, maybe it's not approach/discipline and it's just a lesser ability to read same handed pitching
  3. Eh Baez and Almora are both very good vs lhp
  4. Derwood finally gets on Twitter... follows Jay Mariotti.
  5. My power just went out out of nowhere. Greeeeat. I swear to God if it's not back by BCS I'm going to rage
  6. i hate his impotent bat, but i'm still optimistic on his fielding probably way too early to glean much meaningful info from his stats but they kind of support the idea he's ranged far to make some highlight reel plays, though he's fared poorly on more routine attempts; anecdotally it seems like a few situations deferring to others, or in-between hits he hasn't fully committed to- wonder about added assertiveness as he gains comfort at any rate we're probably greedy to expect much better than a league-average starter [tweet] [/tweet]
  7. http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/51231442/v1083388883/chc-sd-russell-robs-myers-with-a-spectacular-stop http://m.mlb.com/news/article/198889164/addison-russell-robs-pirates-with-great-catch/ the catch in medium left was great. as for the myers one, he made a similar diving stop, but today's was harder as he was diving to his right and had to make a much tougher throw.
  8. oh my GOD i was warned in advance by twitter on that one and i STILL did not believe he could get to that ball
  9. THAT might be the best play I've ever seen Addi make
  10. I was gonna make a comment about sending a letter back in autumn and tie it to the world series but I couldn't put it all together
  11. not all that meaningful but still kinda cool https://www.instagram.com/p/BUViEdTl2kk/?taken-by=paniniamerica
  12. This horsefeathering guy is so horsefeathering eloquent https://theathletic.com/61845/2017/05/21/transcript-cubs-president-theo-epstein-tells-yale-graduates-to-keep-their-heads-up-and-rally-together/
  13. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/ct-mitch-trubisky-bears-chicago-hope-spt-0521-20170519-story.html good read on the bears' pursuit of trubisky
  14. I will bet you field vs cubs at even money for the nl central. Whatever amount you name. I don't disagree that the Cubs are still the favorite, but that doesn't make winning the division (or even making the playoffs) a foregone conclusion. I still think the Cubs will win the division, but my level of concern is certainly higher now than it was at the beginning of April. I mean, sure, I agree. I'm just saying I'm confident enough in it that I'll give you even money on the field. That's a pretty overwhelming favorite.
