  1. Patiently waiting for the comeback victory aided by a Baez cycle. it's a little funny how opposite on the spectrum of realistic possibilities these things are
  2. almora (not that he would've been in lf) gets that
  3. this ump is horrific giving a pitcher with control issues a bunch of beyond borderline calls what the horsefeathers
  4. honestly i wish KB were as good as he is while being like javy or bautista or some horsefeathers
  5. another way of saying he's terrible offensively and provides literally negative value despite his defense unless he exclusively faces lefties and the very best of rhp matchups (in which case, yes, he can be quite valuable) Or maybe give the guy more than 3 weeks to adjust to regular playing time, since he's shown to be productive offensively at every level, instead of demanding instant gratification for every player. you really don't think we have enough of a sample size to have a verdict on how javy baez hits major league righties? and it's not like the contact rates in the minors didn't show this coming even when he was succeeding down there. EDIT: since i was curious as to just how bad it was, i looked it up 590 PA 3.2% BB% 31.2 K% .230/.267/.370 .276 wOBA 70wRC+ If he's ever going to become competent, I don't think it's any time soon and I'm not sure letting him continuously flail away and struggle badly for the sake of getting his glove in the lineup is the way to get there (devil's advocate: maybe he needs to be humbled that much to be convinced to make the adjustments he needs to make, but you'd think 2014 and the subsequent demotion to start 2015 would've been enough to achieve that).

  7. I think you're thinking of Cowherd or Skip Bayless with that with their new shows when they left ESPN. But yeah they are all garbage and any network that pays them millions for their nonsense TV deserves to fail. Nope. It was Stephen A's Quite Frankly in like 2004 or 05. Poker boom was happening then and destroyed it in the ratings too.
  8. Amazing...remember when they gave him his own show and it didn't even get better ratings than the AND1 basketball and bowling it was up against on their other networks?
  9. I don't even watch ESPN unless I'm watching a game...are they still employing Stephen A. Smith?
  10. Rightly so
  11. i've used it once at work a few weeks back with no problems...as a directv subscriber. haven't tried again since so i can't say whether i would've had any issues.
  12. here's what he was doing right before he did that https://www.instagram.com/p/BTPRONpF4PK/?taken-by=imthechupacabra https://www.instagram.com/p/BTPRHxjlWpm/?taken-by=imthechupacabra

  14. schwarbs plz dong here preferably into the river
  15. I don't agree with the implication that every strike is worthy of being swung at
  16. what are you doing? (also tonight's game is not on CSN so it wouldn't be available)
  17. never expected that ball to get htat deep
