  1. I grew up playing baseball with their left fielder Ryan Nagle so that's pretty cool. This is the first time I've tried following a college baseball team somewhat closely.
  2. Drop Springer, add JD Martinez
  3. The good news is that the Cardinals offense has been slumping too, scoring 7 runs in 35 innings against the Pirates, so under 2 runs per nine innings. That being said I fully expect them to BABIP luck their way into a bunch of runs this series. Cubs are also averaging about a run and a half better during night games. I remember somebody mentioning we seem to hit better during the night.
  4. I thought this game couldn't get any worse, then I realized Denorfia has a Nickleback song for his walk-up.
  5. Didn't Soler like not swing at any balls out of the zone for over half the Spring? I want that guy back. Nice start. Bryant needs an extra base hit soon to get him going again.
  6. The bats better come alive by the time the Cardinals come around.
  7. Coors Field does help him, he has a career OPS about 200 points lower away from home (though he's pretty balanced so far this year), but I always thought he could turn into a solid player.
  8. Probably costs less than going out and aggressively pursuing quality relievers via trade in April. When your bullpen gives up several runs every game for nearly a week straight, then it's probably ok to pay a little extra. Shouldn't Wada be up soon? He'd be an upgrade over half the pen.
  9. Schlitter back above Jackson on the crappy middle reliever totem pole
  10. Soler is 1-10 with 6 strikeouts and a walk with that mask if I'm not mistaking. It looks like he can't see a damn thing with that on.
  11. I thought that was a bloop single off the bat
  12. Don't like Ross or Herrera right here..our bench kinda blows outside of Castillo/Denorfia
  13. yep Anyone think Soler might be headed for a slump? I'm blaming it on the mask. I wonder what his statline is with that thing on
  14. Besides Russell, Rizzo has the lowest slugging in that lineup, including Hammel lol. But when you're getting on 50% of the time that doesn't matter as much.
  15. With the next 20 games against the NL Central, it's gonna be important to win as much as we can these next few weeks. Russell is a HUGE upgrade. This is so much fun.
  16. This was totally unexpected but I'm loving this. Holy [expletive]
  17. Trout with a home run in his first at bat, of course.
  18. A- Stanton B- Cabrera, Jones C- Springer, Alvarez, Goldschmidt D- Harper, Trumbo, Machado, CarGon, Headley WC-PMed
  19. I'm trying Draft Kings out this week. Right now the biggest debate I'm having is whether to roll out Gronk as a TE with Stills as a WR, or go cheaper at TE with Fleener and then start someone like Beckham at WR. I think that Gronk and Stills has the higher upside, but worried that Stills will be a dud.
  20. I've been thinking about trying it out. Is there a preference between Draft Kings/ FanDuel, such as is one easier than the other, does one give better winnings, ect. I haven't looked too much into it. Seems like an quick way to make some easy money if you know what you are doing.
  21. Vereen or McKinnon? Ppr league.
  22. Foles or Luck? Pick 1 (PPR) Wright Crabtree Vereen Maclin
  23. I was at the Peoria game today. Simpson didn't look good at all. The radar had him between 83-85, although I think it was a bit off. Just about every ball they hit against him was hit pretty hard, even the outs. Szczur, on the other hand, looked good. He beat out a chopper for an infield single early on and then hit a line drive homer into left field later. He looked pretty good in the outfield too.
  24. In other news, Sam Fuld is a single away from hitting for a cycle
  25. With this move and Quade's comments, it sounds like Cashner has a good shot at making the rotation.
