    honestly putting a plank of wood out there instead of Matt Williams is pretty much reason enough to award that plank of wood Manager of the Year why not go with inanimate carbon rod?

    lol? yeah, nevermind, sorry, kyle was completely wrong to worry about bryant's contact rate and defensive scouting reports coming up. MEA CULPA. looks that way huh http://i.imgur.com/p1h83jz.png oh, thanks, this argument was completely about whether kris bryant ended up being good or not. settled.

    i had basically checked out (with brief periods at the start of each season as exceptions) from late 2009 until theo was hired. i was so excited that the one guy i always wanted to run the cubs got hired that i fully bought in and suffered through each one of those. i was legitimately done with giving a horsefeathers about the cubs by the time ricketts didn't fire hendry right away. i even got excited enough about baseball that i watched all of the 2011 playoffs that i could. i didn't hate the cardinals as much then, but i still wanted the rangers to win that series so bad. then there was the year the cardinals got that BS infield fly call. so dumb.

    of the many (unfair) advantages men have in this society, not having to sit (or squat over) public toilets every time we have to pee is one of the biggest.

    that wouldn't make any sense is what i was saying every nlds game (in either series) is on FS1/MLBN. they aren't all going to be day games. Last year's AL Series on FOX: Royals - Astros: N D D D D Jays - Rangers: D D N D D Royals-Jays: N D N D D N Last year's NL Series on TBS: Cubs - Cardinals: N D N D Mets - Dodgers: N N N N N Cubs - Mets: N N N N So that's 5 AL Night games vs. 11 day games and 11 NL Night games vs. 2 Day games I'm not sure what the network agreements are, but it certainly seems like they do not have any control over night and day. Last year was unique because the only team in the playoffs that played in the western 2 time zones was the Dodgers and thus they are a perfect fit for the late game time slots . That plus the fact that they were playing a team from the largest media market meant that they got all night games. In the other NL series you had the Cubs so of course they will get night games too. Meanwhile in the AL you had a bunch of teams that were rather 'meh' in terms of National popularity. In addition, in 2 of the 3 series you had a team from Canada, which really doesn't do anything in the US outside of baseball diehards. So I would guess that this year the proportion of day and night games by network is more even. Bingo.

    Because sweaty ass, piss, and [expletive] are so much cleaner? Even if a toilet seat appears clean/dry, it means absolutely nothing. There is no "my" seat about it. One takes a risk every time they use a public toilet. What's the risk (and this is coming from someone super unwilling to take dumps on public toilets - while realizing how mostly irrational it is)? Herpes? Is that like getting it from a tractor?

    I don't see it. http://m.mlb.com/chc/video/topic/chc/v1082714083/chc-sd-heyward-s-two-run-homer-pads-the-cubs-lead his top hand still looks a little overly torqued to me but maybe i'm wrong
  22. David
    so all the weekday NLDS games (both series) would be day games?

    did he have the crazy hand wrap?

    This is a huge understatement; your position here is MASSIVELY aided by hindsight. But OK. I mean, you can search the archives to find me talking down Bryant worriers at pretty much every turn. Schwarber? Yes it's a valid concern. Soler? Yep. Baez? Without question. Not with Bryant. Fair enough. You were right on his defense, I was wrong...but at the time there were questions. If he's just a LF (as was a very common position at the time) and doesn't successfully make the adjustments he had to make after the league figured him out a little bit, what would he be? I'm not professing to be some kind of expert here. I was convinced Soler would be an offensive beast (maybe he still will be but I definitely overlooked how bad he was at everything else)...and I was sure Bryant was a shitty 3B from a handful of innings I saw (obviously dumb) + scouting reports. I'll give myself credit for thinking Javy would eventually be useful having that kind of offensive profile w/his athleticism and defensive ability though.

    If KB doesn't figure his swing out when he went about 4-5 weeks being horrible last year, what happens? There was a 100% chance he'd be able to successfully adapt his swing? Haven't we all seen enough baseball to see someone lose it and not be able to make the adjustments to fix it? I'm not saying he was 100% figured out in July last year and that was the entire reason behind his struggles, but he was struggling badly, striking out 1/3 of the time, and it was right after that that we eventually heard he made his adjustments. There was still a real chance he wouldn't be able to do that, but he's a god and he did.
