    Only one of those pitches was close, but I'll take the patience.

    If we're only winning 2-0 right now, we should be worried about what's going to happen when we play somebody good.

    For a millisecond I wanted to get angry and start typing, then I just threw my hands up and laughed. Who cares? Have fun in Washington, Dusty. I will, however, get angry is Jesse Rogers or one of the writers goes back down the 'Dusty is actually a great manager' road. We've always known Dusty and his philosophy/approach were dumb. I'm hoping the people that cover this team can see that after the last 18 months or so.

    David Patton, 2009. I did the same thing and thought it was pretty great he finally turned into something. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=7503&position=P Edit: Well TT isn't the worst person to lose that race to. Oh well, FG is better than Baseball Ref (even though I used BR to find out who it was).

    Have you seen the projections for the top NL and AL teams? If this were more like the NBA playoffs, the current NBA playoffs would be a pretty good comparison, where the championship deciding series takes place in the NL Championship (Western Conference Finals). There's a chance the top 4 or 5 teams come from the NL.

    the Nats/Royals series is tied 1-1 Oh weird, I didn't see the Royals scored 3 runs in the bottom of the 9th to win, that shouldn't have happened Yeah but it does when, as someone mentioned earlier, your closer is the quickly declining and generally terrible Jon Papelbon.

    Jesse Rogers' string of pro-Dusty Baker tweets is really undoing a lot of the goodwill he's built up recently.

    13th best pitcher in baseball Last Year Lester? Good call. Just because Rondon Fan isn't here doesn't mean we need someone to take his place. Lester was fine at the end of the season and was good. He just had a bad start if you recall. Yeah but that's not what you said. It's May 4th. Lester had a 1.76 ERA in May last year. He had terrible BAPIP luck in April, as evidenced by a 6.23 ERA and a 2.21 FIP. He's really good, along with the rest of this team. Enjoy it.

    This is so much better in the few seconds before you realize Jimmy Fallon is in it.

    Pretty much everyone is making reasonable points on the playing time discussion, and man they are so fun to read. Do we play our 6 WAR plus third baseman at third or should we move him to left, where he's also probably plus, to get our former top donging infield prospect who's maybe figured it out some at bats? If not, then we have to 'worry' about making the best utility player of the last 10 years actually become a utility player, and no matter what you've got two top prospects fighting for limited at bats, and that's before the other two dudes on bench both OPSing about 1000. And part of the reason ABs are so limited are because you have the best defensive right fielder in baseball playing next to the best player in baseball so far this year. Oh yeah, and this is all with our swaggiest donger, all of 23 years, chilling on the DL for the year.

    Doesn't look like any serious rain coming in, just going to be cold and miserable. Going to be a couple blocks away and checked stubhub to see if I could pop in for a few innings, maybe grab a hot dougs. Cheapest bleacher is still $60??? What are your guys go to for cheap last minute tickets?
  14. squally1313
    Imagine if they both panned out and we had an outfield defense of Hannemann/Almora/Heyward...with Schwarber developing into a GG catcher. You're not wrong, and I know you're projecting a decent bit down the road, but it's funny that that scenario doesn't even factor in the best player in baseball so far this year.
  15. squally1313
    Was gonna say it depends if the pitcher bats but thats looking very likely now I think you pull him. They're making a conscious effort to limit his innings. It's cold and miserable and he doesn't have his command, plus the bullpen got the night off last night. We'll be fine with the 4 run lead plus whatever we add on here. Unless they have some quality start streak they want to keep.

    Come on guys, only 68 more hearts to go.

    Pretty sure this is new. Arrieta on the steroid accusations, contract future. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/columnist/bob-nightengale/2016/04/26/mlb-jake-arrieta-contract-steroids-cubs/83551730/ Nothing really new here, and nothing too outrageous. If anything, just another affirmation of how sky high his confidence is right now.

    Best record in the league, underperforming their pythag by 2 games. Good enough.
  19. squally1313
    There's no way Wong isn't a total dick, right?
  20. squally1313
    So which of the 37 home runs we hit against the Cardinals in the playoff series was your favorite? Schwarber's is an easy number one, but Castro's smile rounding first probably takes the second spot.
  21. squally1313
    Somewhat along these lines, I've started noticing the some of the prospects we had to pretend to like back before we had real prospects start popping up around the league. Tony Zych, Marwin Gonzalez, Ronald Torreyes, Jay Jackson (though he's in Japan this year)
  22. squally1313
    For those actually watching, who's in the on deck circle?
  23. squally1313
    They decided to be bored in the first half of the game instead of the last half. Dude is pitching a shut out and still over 80 pitches. We'll be fine.

    I'm on a flight back to Chicago, trying to keep enough juice to stream the Hawks when I land in an hour. Turned on the wifi and decided to just go through this instead of checking any score apps. I have no idea what the score is, but I was grinning like an idiot reading through this. I love this team so much.
