  1. Pick any lineup in the league and make the best four hitters either suck or be injured, and that lineup isn’t going to be very good. O.K. But that isn't a reason to not get better. It’s not a reason to say we badly need a bat. Could a bat help? Sure. So could a good starter. So could some bullpen arms. But some needs are more pressing than others.

  3. So a homer to the 8 hitter, a hit to the pitcher and two wild pitches or passed balls. Solid work.
  4. 14-10, third best winning percentage in the majors behind Philly and the Dodgers.
  5. Their average opponent weighted for games played is 20.6-21.3 while ours is 21.8-20.6. So basically our opponents are all of a game better on average. We're 22-7 in our last 29 games, we lose one game in extras to the Reds and you're worried about the schedule? Oh, and in that stretch, we won series against the Pirates, Dbacks, Dodgers, DBacks, Cardinals and Brewers, all of whom are over .500. And we also swept Seattle (22-23) in a two-gamer. The only bad team we played was Miami and we went 6-1.
  6. Hope whoever predicted two songs from Schwarber tonight is right. EDIT: Willy PH so nevermind.
  7. Castillo, Scherzer, and Strasburg on the horizon. I’m glad you think the team with the best record in the NL is guaranteed to lose three straight games to teams with the second and third worst records in the NL. We definitely could, but writing off three games before they’re played is stupid.
  8. Every loss is a bad loss to him. You should know that by now. Castillo, Scherzer, and Strasburg on the horizon. I’m glad you think the team with the best record in the NL is guaranteed to lose three straight games to teams with the second and third worst records in the NL.
  9. Any reason? Every loss is a bad loss to him. You should know that by now.
  10. Paul George thinks that was a bad shot also.
  11. Going for a bike ride. Hopefully that will change the mojo.
  12. Just no GIDP. Let Heyward bat. EDIT: Of course it’s Russell.
  13. Thought that was long gone with how Cain acted.
  14. Willy’s GIDP a couple innings ago really hurt.
  15. Ok, now that Russell is out, we can get hits.
  16. It is somewhat comforting to know that Brewers fans are surely just as annoyed by this game as we are. Hope it ends with them being really annoyed.
  17. Wow. Didn’t see Almora making an out there. Shocker.
  18. Probably not a great idea to walk the leadoff hitter with the top of their order coming up.
  19. A fruit fly can out-manage this fraud clod. Bounce Maddon's tired ass and let Javy be player-manager. But Javy’s name would be the only actual name written on the lineup card.
  20. That was kind of funny in a “of course that happened” kind of way.
