    Oh man. These were great. I love how he'd smile after a K and half the times the hitters would too.
  2. David
    from what i understand, he did the same thing at last year's wrigley fireworks
  3. David
    That was in St. Louis. I assume he's asking because of the night game restrictions at Wrigley. There are no postseason night game restrictions at Wrigley. They've had Friday night postseason games there before, including Game 3 vs. the Braves when Prior beat Maddux in 2003. The only way it's not a night game is if TV wants it that way. Yeah, I remembered that one. Just wasn't sure if it changed in all their haggling and back and forth with the city during the renovation stuff. Still, like I said, I'm pretty sure you're right, and postseason is exempt.

    Not necessarily. Last year Game 1 was at, what, 5:30 ET? And that was a Friday as well. That was in St. Louis. I assume he's asking because of the night game restrictions at Wrigley.

    i don't think the postseason is dictated by those rules, but i could be wrong

    If the NL got the DH next year, you'd probably see Almora in CF and Heyward in RF almost every day with Soler/Schwarber rotating between LF and DH. Obviously, they'd utilize the DH to get most of the regulars "semi-days off" but that would most likely be your "normal" arrangement. And the Cubs would love every minute of it. yeah i mean basically the only way i would think about wanting almora as a regular next year is if the NL got the DH...then I'd be OK with going for super defense in the OF. but that would mean mainly rotating schwarber and soler at DH and getting another OFer who can field into the mix (not that i wouldn't also want both soler and schwarb in the lineup at times too)

    Most of the posters there, of what I've seen, seem alright, even when the thread is about the Cubs. Surely there are worse, more WSI-like Cardinals boards out there. cards talk
  9. David
    hypothetically speaking, if the NL got the DH next year, would you guys do something like (primarily) platoon soler and schwarber there and then play almora in CF with maybe gomez in LF? it's a tough question to ask given fowler's likely exit and not knowing what we do there... or do we just maximize dongage and start both schwarber and soler most of the time
  10. David
    Ahh it was Romine. I thought he was a defensively minded catcher? http://www.statcorner.com/CatcherReport.php hasn't been particularly good at framing
  11. David
    ok which one fo you guys did it http://gatewayredbirds.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1705581#p1705581
  12. David
    I mean, the only thing *they* really did was pull him out semi-ceremoniously. The rest was the crowd and then the fact that he, ridiculously perfectly, managed to hit a massive dong while this was all going on, only amplifying it all.
  13. David
    He already passed on San Diego. sure, but that doesn't mean he would never go back. there are a lot of reasons it may not have been the right move at that time. then again, win a WS with the Cubs and he may jump on the first job that pops up I mean, yeah...it just seems like, if it were a Theo or SD type of mindset for him, I can't see him withdrawing his name when the opportunity came up. I think it's more likely he just didn't think it was a good situation and doesn't want to go back there (especially given that he was already there and knows what ownership is like).
  14. David
    It is. He has stated it and Jed has for him.
  15. David
    He already passed on San Diego.
  16. David
    He kinda is pretty ridonkulous as a hitter...just not as insanely ridinkulous as he is as a pitcher. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/how-good-is-shohei-otani/
  17. David
    not that he is or isn't funny/not serious but what about this makes you say that? it's not like it was some kind of practical joke. he was trying to honor and make a moment for a good friend and teammate.

    6-1 damnit. Would like that too but I bet we see throwaway lineups in at least 3 of the 7 games now that we aren't playing teams with things to play for i get injury concerns but seems otherwise rather pointless considering all of the time off the following week
