    Unfortunately pitchers are necessary and, whatever you want to label the arm, that trade for one is more likely to happen than not as 2018 draws closer. The farm will recover, prospects are much easier to find than actual impact ML talent. I don't disagree, obviously you need pitching and need good pitching. We wouldn't be where we are this year on offense alone, the pitching is just as important. I just think it's incredibly hard to identify and acquire the right "controlled" arm that is so often cited due to pitchers general suckage and unpredictability. Just to give an example 2-3 years ago Jimmy Nelson was a pitcher that could be defined as young and controllable with upside that at the time would've taken probably at least 1 of a Happ, Soler, Jeimer, etc. type talent for and now he's 4 ERA, replacement level, pitcher just 1-3 years later at 27. I get we are going to need pitching sooner than later, I'd rather just spend the money on them (or use a high volume of draft picks on them like recent years) than give up real assets unless they are proven guys (like Hamels last year) or if it's through a trade target a guy like Montgomery who maybe turns into something but only costs ancillary minor league pieces. also, i very much trust our FO to find guys under the radar, especially with whatever magic we have going between our defense and coaching staff.

    MLBTV is going for $9.99 today for the rest of the year. i have no idea but i wouldn't be at all surprised if indianapolis were blacked out anyway

    sams doesn't have my shave gel, deodorant (actually, i'm pretty sure they only have anti perspirant, which i hate) or mouthwash, but i get toothpaste and shower stuff there

    you gotta ease back into that my brother. I always horsefeathering overdo it. Never learn.

    i'm feeling super old right now physically but that's mainly because, for some reason, i decided it was a good idea to start going to the gym again this week and now i'm sore as horsefeathers.

    Wasn't that Javy? I thought I remembered giving Cards fans down here a bunch of crap because our backup SS hit a mammoth dong off their amazing greatest hero pitcher ever. Nope definitely Soler. Javy only had 1 HR in the postseason and we all remember it. If fact I'm pretty sure Addy started that game, but I'm not sure if he had injured himself by that point in the game or not. yup.

    i can sort of see it in pitch, just obviously not the manner of speaking the original kermit comparisons were probably better

    Gotta keep em short. 20 min or so tops. Beyond that...yeah...it can mess with you. That's probably it, then; if I nap it tends to be for 2+ hours. It's like if I fall asleep, my body wants to sleep for hours and anything less gets me all out of sorts. Napping before going out would just leave me even more tired. I feel a bit groggy maybe when i first wake up, but a shower and that first drink and i'm good.

    i'm in my early-mid 30's and still go out a lot, but i've been pro nap all my life. a nice nap after work/before going out is crucial.

    agreed... he's a little bit of an acquired taste, i think, though. at least, for me, when he first got hired, i hated his voice. he had to win me over with the things he said.

    the internet is every bit a cesspool with high levels of meatballery. Just go on twitter when Len posts something. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding your theory. I was going to ask if he's ever read a comments section of anything anywhere on the internet. internet commenters are like the bizarro internet. a byproduct of how much more of the world is on the internet now but doesn't really know what they're doing...the same people who get into political arguments on facebook comments and think they're winning a free ipod everyday and crap like that. these people are like a cross section of the least actually internet/computer savvy people on the internet, but i guarantee you the internet baseball fan crowd leans way more pro analytics than the gen pop. and awful announcing is a website that sets out to make fun of stupid people.

    combination of the first one + disdain for their analytics pushing is my guess I'd be willing to bet a large sum of money that the analytics stuff is the main reason. my only issue with that is that it would seem the internet savvy awful announcing crowd that would be in on those polls would lean heavily against that level of meatballery

    Gleyber since the trade (no idea how much whatever league he is in factors in to this) .224/.321/.347 in 112 PA
  22. David
    if he had one, his senility would be much more noticeable i think

    guy could totally be a character actor

    What do you think it is? Meatball-rage over the Cubs not having some beloved ex-Cub in the booth? Bitterness over Len not being party of Harry's family of the damned? Inexplicable longing for dead soul-smarminess of Steve Stone? combination of the first one + disdain for their analytics pushing is my guess
