    CJ hitting for himself means he's going to finish this one off which means we don't get to see Baez striking out the side in the mid-90s. Come on Joe, it's the Reds, have some fun.

    But....I thought we sucked now?
  3. squally1313
    This is fantastic. I felt like I needed to shut the door and put my headphones on. I have to ask, just from the volume of research you obviously did....was there anything that stuck out as still worrisome?
  4. squally1313
    Would it be worth calling another pitcher up in case this goes sideways? Hendricks doesn't really strike me as the kinda guy who you want to leave out there no matter what. Would Warren make sense?
  5. squally1313
    Have we been slumping? Is our ace maybe broken? Whatever who cares this is amazing
  6. squally1313
    God part of me wishes he had already used Strop. Adds too much normalcy.
  7. squally1313
    It's the highlight of the very dark last 10 days. "The" highlight? Did you sleep through last night's KB Full House of Dongs?
  8. squally1313
    This game, win or lose, would have been the highlight of any of those dark years.
  9. squally1313
    This is one of the best parts of having such a big lead. Just platoon your left fielder and pitcher depending on who comes to the plate. We lose and oh well we're still 98% to win the division. House money.

    In almost every other situation I'd try and figure out the best option from the numbers, but in a hypothetical world where the same package got you either Doolittle or Chapman, give me Doolittle and his 4 less strike outs every nine innings (and the peace of mind that I'm not rooting for a total scumbag). Seriously, I know clubhouse chemistry is overrated and everyone probably hated Lackey before this year and whatever, but Rizzo almost fought Chapman long before all this other crap happened.

    This may have been tangentially mentioned in the comment about @BFIB, but I guess they're teaching the 'right way' in AAA too. http://deadspin.com/wild-brawl-breaks-out-at-minor-league-baseball-game-1782716505

    I was going to put out a request that you get to the bottom of Jake's issues, but yeah, I'd much prefer this one. They've all been great...keep up the good work.
  13. squally1313
    So to summarize this night up....offense is good, pitching is stupid.
  14. squally1313
    And Jesse Rogers tweets out his own article from 3 years ago about how Kris Bryant was good because THAT's what is important here.
  15. squally1313
    Hahaha Votto dongs twice and no one gives a horsefeathers I'm sure he's loving life in that hellhole of a town right now.
  16. squally1313
    Dioner. Which, congrats to Ding Dong and soccer, because I had no clue he even played for the Cubs. Those were dark years.
  17. squally1313
    For those of you who don't follow @ckamka (because this is amazing)....the last Cub with a three home run game was who?
  18. squally1313
    Uh guys....is Gamecast right?
  19. squally1313
    All the starters under 3.00 ERA is cool or whatever, but man...just give me games like this where the offensve is non-stop.
  20. squally1313
    Yep, was just thinking that. Seems like he always follows up an 0-fer with a dong. I both get what you're saying and also can't resist pointing out that what you're describing is the opposite of consistent.
  21. squally1313
    Not the first person to make this comparison, but while I enjoyed the Rich Harden era, I like God-mode Jake a lot more.
  22. squally1313
    Sign me up for one year of Campbell on a hometown discount. With so much uncertainty around future salary cap levels, would like to have as much money freed up next year (when Panarin is due a long term contract) as possible. This has been a pretty depressing offseason, but the Shaw trade was the right move. Shore up the defense and hope a couple of the forward prospects can step up on the bottom six.
  23. squally1313
    I feel like I haven't seen Strop or Rondon in forever. Strop 2 innings in the last week, Rondon 1.1. Hopefully that's by design, but agreed that these guys get very tiring.
  24. squally1313
    Yeah, offense is so terrible w/ him hitting 2nd all year. This is what I hate. Offense has been largely awesome in spite of him. Now there's injuries so his mediocrity is magnified. Not saying he's awful, just counting on our RF being a run producer eventually ffs. I know I'm taking both sides of this argument, but I agree that our offense has been amazing in spite of Heyward, not because of him. His overall contributions and 'true' offensive talent ensure that he needs to be in the lineup, but you can definitely make the argument that with everyone else producing the way that they have (and are capable of), Heyward should not be getting the second most PAs on the team. I want so many spite dongs in Cincinnati. After this week, I'm going to revel in Brennaman's despair.
  25. squally1313
    I for one am pretty excited to go kick the horsefeathers out of Cincinnati for a few days.
