    Laughed entirely too hard at this. Same. I thought I included that. Might've dropped it when I tried trimming my quotes (EDIT - Nevermind, I'm blind). Also, this man is obviously going to take care of business for us.

    Why didn't somebody tell me!? OHHHHH I'VE BEEN MAKIN AN IDIOT OUTTA MYSELF! *Inexplicably runs out of the kitchen* It's really amazing how that show basically is as bad now as it was amazing then. How TF does that happen? Every promo I see on Fox for a new episode makes me cringe at its badness.

    That's crazy because I remember his curve being pretty damn good in Chicago but it was probably his #2 pitch and I believe he had trouble locating it at times. But there was a time when we were really excited about Rich Hill as maybe a solid #2 of the future for the Cubs. This game sustained me for the entire 06 offseason He had a ton of issues, and still does, with fastball command, but he's flipped the script on how to use a curveball. He used to throw it for swing and misses but now he throws it for strikes and wants the hitters to take the pitch. He's fascinating to watch. Isn't that what most lefties with big loopy curveballs (like Kershaw) do?

    He's not the same guy he was in Chicago. The curveball and variations of it are some of the best pitches in baseball. He allowed .33 HR/9 which is the best in baseball for anyone with 100 IP. He will still walk guy which is how you can get to him but since he's made the curveball his primary pitch he's been damn good.

Wasn't his curve the one pitch for which he was known as OPR?

    i mean this is nothing compared to you not knowing arrieta was on the cubs until mid-late 2014

    adrian beltre is just remarkable. still a 6 win player. dude came into the league when i had just finished my freshman year in high school.
  11. David
    haha ive already got them ready Name change? Who did you used to be? I...This can't...no.

    Kershaw obviously is going to concern anyone. But Hill? A 36 year old who's started 24 games the past 7 seasons? Not the least bit concerned about having to face him. yes, he has started 24 games the past 7 seasons. or the past 1 or so. and he has been very very good in those starts, to the tune of over 10 K/9, 2.45 bb/9, a 2.00 ERA, 2.37 FIP, and 3.18 xFIP (mainly because he has held teams to 0.39 HR/9). in other words, your dismissive tone seems pretty damn silly. if he's healthy and available, he's not fun to face.

    would much rather get the nats.
  14. David
    i don't follow they already aren't able to use him in games 1 or 2 (or really twice in the series)...how much less rest do you want him to get
  15. David
    uhh sure if you don't care if we have good WRs or not
  16. David
    sounded like, and to follow up on the pre-game convo, that was definitely not his typical Ms. Zobrist walk up song before his AB Must be alternating because he had the normal music for at least one of the ABs earlier. i'm pretty sure what he's playing is his wife singing benny and the jets https://www.facebook.com/juliannazobrist/videos/vb.176186862423387/1231262696915793/?type=3&theater

    I loved him as a kid. Was he always like this? probably but when he's calling michael jordan doing dope horsefeathers your perception is changed and again, he had round ball rock to set the table all of this is probably exactly why i was so wrong about costas for all these years

    TOUCHDOWN!!

    Is Hendricks gonna be OK
  20. David
    That thing with his car was all the way back in 2013? Jeez.
  21. David
    I especially enjoyed the part where they compared the statistics from last year between Lester and Chris Heston and came to the conclusion that Heston was better somehow. :-k more wins, duh

    http://www.forums.mlb.com/discussions/San_Francisco_Giants/Ticket_Zone/honestly_im_glad_Jon_Lester_said_no/ml-giants/161349.1?nav=messages this thread is, uh, interesting

    also i love how we horsefeathering run those plays against the baserunners trying to take their liberties on lester. we horsefeathering play chess and everyone else plays checkers.
  24. David
    the organist always plays benny and the jets for him too
  25. David
    And speaking of Zobrist, was he using different walk-up music all night? Benny and the Jets was playing for his last AB. I know I heard his wife's song earlier in the night yikes i didn't even see this post when i made mine and i agree that it was odd that almora didn't come into the OF in the 9th
