    You mentioned popping out or a weak ground ball, but making contact also could be a sacrifice fly, a fielder's choice, or an error all of which are preferable to striking out. Let's not forget that with some crazy winds, a pop out could drop in for a hit. or it could be a double play which is twice as bad as striking out...or a triple play which is 3 times as bad! just guessing here but i'm pretty sure mojo knew all of those things were also possible when he made his point

    what the hell is going on with that apostrophe

    I'm not even close to feeling this way. It's Brewers all the way with the Cardinals a little behind.

    I suppose they can when you go from one guy telling everyone to hit the ball on the ground to another guy telling them to hit it in the air.

    how long before we stop comparing major league athletes who are at the top 1% of the world at their profession to our lame ass 9-5 selves and pretend it's somehow a meaningful comparison

    Well assuming you're talking about 2016, we were 29th in shifts that year at 4.6%, only ahead of the Marlins, who I'm guessing didn't even teach the concept. Since then we've gone 29th, 28th, and this year we're at 23rd, 14.2%. Astros are somehow at 50% for the year. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/visuals/team-positioning?teamId=117&venue=home&firstBase=0&shift=1&batSide=&season=2016 Man, I never know this horsefeathers; I'm just piggybacking on other people here smarter than me who keep complaining like the Cubs stopped shifting as much or got horsefeathers at it or whatever. i honestly think that when 2016 came, they were just like "we're so horsefeathering good at defense that we don't need this gimmicky shift [expletive]" and were better off without it.

    Before the axe handle stuff came out, Bryant was also crediting him directly with identifying some issues (pre swing movement iirc) that were contributing to his struggles

    Would a random game in May even barely tempt you to miss the series finale of a show you loved? I can only equate this at all recently to breaking bad or BCS as I have no interest in GoT but yes I'd absolutely watch the Cubs game live and watch the show after.

    I was at the Orlando Merced game in the bleachers. I learned that Mike Morgan horsefeathering sucks and several other colorful ways to describe Cubs players as was I. Saturday game, Sammy’s 60th? Ha, I was at the Sunday game.

    This is weird

    this guy likes to pimp the hell out of his kicks and i'm so here for a cocky kicker. please be good.

    and david is posting again That's got much more to do with some crazy horsefeathers in my personal life that I've been dealing with that is finally behind me than anything else.

    Cubs started 1-6...about a month later they're on pace for 97 wins with a .600 winning percentage and the second best run differential in baseball
  16. David
    Gonna just leave this here

    the same thing he's always done?
  18. David
    Maybe they made contact with a lot of pitches out of the zone? yes sherlock that happens
  19. David
    he only threw 18 balls in this start apparently? holy horsefeathers lmao how the

    no it does not appear that way anymore I don’t trust this front office to do the right thing until Russell is off the team. I don’t believe for a second that they’re going to stash him in Iowa all season I'm saying it looks like they will not be moving Javy off of SS.
  21. David
    I think if a shortstop hits 56 and 136, it will make almost no difference what any other player does when it comes to MVP balloting. He’ll be a second baseman as soon as Russell comes back (ugh) no it does not appear that way anymore
  22. David
    Is drafting Javy the single best thing Hendry did in his entire tenure?

    i need to introduce you to cody bellinger (or yelich for that matter - at least until he plays more road games) I think if a shortstop hits 56 and 136, it will make almost no difference what any other player does when it comes to MVP balloting. if we're talking about pace on May 2nd, bellinger is hitting .425/.500/.867 (1.367) and on a 69 HR and 187 RBI pace but maybe that doesn't count because javy's looks more realistic than his or something.
