    FWIW, Gameday did clock that one at 95mph. Too bad you were way off on the distance.

    Kris Bryant potential plus defensive third baseman is so amazing

    Because I don't think 116 really is that abusive and it's just a 2-0 game with the wind blowing out. You want to lock up these games and there is nobody who likely gives us a better chance than him to do so. Obviously he's on the run of his life, but I'm not sure the stats back you up on that with the Diamondbacks seeing him for the fourth time.

    That was a great exchange if just for the fact that I have that same feeling (and same "hey...bud" response) about once a week.

    In which way? 2.1 fWAR this year.
  6. squally1313
    Potentially unpopular opinion, but since we're more or less locked in to the one game playoff, should the Cubs be giving any thought to watching arrietas innings before October? He's already at his career high, and he'll finish today 30something innings above last year.

    I'd rather have Coghlan in the outfield and Baez at 2nd, but it's not a big deal I think you're both forgetting about Dongmaster Schwarber

    To echo the sentiment earlier, I flipped to my Gameday tab and saw a Beef double and got excited for about a half second.

    Stay hot Dex

    BAEZ FOR LASTELLA
  12. squally1313
    Along the same lines of IMBs posts, I got somewhat excited when I saw Russell took him deep on Monday, and then watched the highlight and saw it was a 94 MPH fastball, so Chapman was basically throwing his version of BP.
  13. squally1313
    Yep.
  14. squally1313
    I don't get the Chapman reverence....Baez will hit his own scoreboard picture in the face in the bottom of this inning. That being said, let's get Bruce here. Want no part of Votto with guys on.

    ALL HE DOES IS DONG
  16. squally1313
    I like Castro over Baez here. Find a hole.
  17. squally1313
    DONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

    "Baez swings and misses....looks like a change up that was up near the shoulders" Less than ideal.

    The confident Cubs fans feel like we already have a playoff spot locked up and focus on things that aren't probable but still possible. The other fans like me get annoyed at the confident ones because we haven't in our mind clinched a spot and just want to focus on whatever makes that the most possible. No doubt that it's more fun to be a confident Cubs fans, but I still want you all to screw off. Fine, but how would the Cubs winning when the Cardinals lose, today, negatively impact the Cubs' playoff chances in any way, shape or form? Unless they're playing the Giants or the Dodgers, why would anyone be bothered by people wanting the Cardinals to lose? I think it's just when it's phrased in a "Cardinals are doing this, Pirates are doing this, therefore (implied), it'd be really nice if the Cubs win". Unless the Pirates have suddenly become a hated rival, I assume they are being listed for playoff purposes. I agree ARCubswhatever seems to have a Cardinals obsession, it's just a little weird when you put it like that. And yes, I get a little surge of joy when I see the Cardinals losing too, but at this point it's more for its intrinsic value than it is when i see the Pirates losing.

    Those look like...favorable estimates. Montero and Schwarber specifically. Yeah wow, Montero is way high. Thought he had a season in the upper 20s. Schwarber might be a little high, but I think putting around 90 on Schwarber/Bryant/Rizzo for a year wouldn't be too far off.
  21. squally1313
    Just running some quick math, this lineup over a full season could pretty easily put up 195 home runs just from these 8 guys. Dodgers are leading the NL and are on pace for 193. Which is fun. Fowler 15 Schwarber 35 Coghlan or Soler 20 Bryant 30 Rizzo 30 Montero 25 Baez 25 Russell 15

    BAPIP!

    HAHAHAHAHA radio guys are discussing how Pearl Jam came up with the name of the band. Ummmmm.....

    You wanted the coaching staff to make him take an 0-1 pitch....in an effort to strike out less? Yes? Like he said, that particular 0-1 pitch; it was pretty likely he was going to try to go outside. It's not like he's saying that should have him lay off all 0-1 pitches. I mean, in the sense that most pitchers who go up 0-1 are going to intend to go outside the zone against Baez, sure. But I think having to give a take sign there would be the sign of a much bigger issue. Pitchers, especially bums like this guy (tonight being a dumb exception), do miss spots occasionally.
