Rizzo's dong would say otherwise
-
What about Jason Heyward, Dexter Fowler, or Addison Russell? Yes. All 3 of them would surprise me as well. I could maybe see Soler testing positive for some sort of questionable substance, since I'm sure the guy takes a ton of supplements. Arrieta wouldn't shock me, even though I really do think he's clean. So, to be clear.... Would never trust a person again: Rizzo, Bryant, Schwarber Wouldn't shock me: Arrieta Would surprise me: Heyward, Fowler, Russell Could see it: Soler I would ask about someone like Strop, but....I think I get the picture.

I was more like 'oh good, baez is starting today' and then a little disappointed when it was over Russell. I get LaStella is tearing the cover off the ball right now, I just...can't bring myself to care. I'd love to see more of the Baez in center thing once Fowler slows down...maybe give us another option besides Almora and having to move Heyward after this year.

Does it matter? With Bryant and Zobrist both with the ability to play OF and Soler not hitting, you can start them both every day if you wanted to. FWIW, I think Russell still has more offensive upside than Baez and is on par or better as a defender. In terms of predicting future performance, Russell has probably been the better offensive player this year too. Jav is maybe hitting the ball a little harder, but they have the same K rate and Russell's 14% BB rate looks a lot better than Baez' 4%. Put Baez' BAPIP on Russell's numbers and they'd be pretty amazing. Russell has played 25 games and has 0.8 WAR. Over 150, that's 4.8. Let's not mess with what's working.

Agreed. Talking about the Cubs as a 'clean cut' bunch is the same type of worthless crap we'd mock if it came from people in St. Louis. Yeah but c'mon, that's apples to oranges. If Anthony Rizzo or Kris Bryant or Kyle Schwarber tests positive for PED's, I'll probably never trust a person ever again. What about Jason Heyward, Dexter Fowler, or Addison Russell?

What's wrong with being drunk on a Thursday.
-
Lol at that half assed celebration between werth and harper
-
Wood might do Rondon a solid here
-
Wait about 7 minutes.
-
Russell 'n Zo
-
Hahahahahahahaha
-
Yeah because he warmed during the top of the 8th suppose i could see a wood/rondon combo inning but you'd think he'd be at least up at that point He probably sat down during that 13 minute review.
-
That's why Rondon isn't coming in
-
Definitely want Taylor over Murphy in that situation.
-
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).

[tweet] [/tweet] That's....hmmm....

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.
