  1. Elias Diaz is the guy to go after. FA after the year, even if you don't believe in his offense because Coors, he still doesn't K much and has power and defense. 9 CS in 34 attempts is a big upgrade. Trade for him and KB, horsefeathers it.
  2. 420 feet. Even if it was on the black and hit to center, that ball was demolished. Smashed with intent.
  3. That was a center-cut sinker to Wisdom. It should have been obliterated.
  4. A sweeper in the shadow zone up and away and Sanchez obliterates it 420 to center. Just horsefeathers off already, baseball.
  5. Ok if we give up a hit after that DP I'm gonna lose it
  6. I've said this before but after reading comments from switch-hitters who tried it, the transition may not be as viable as it seems. He'd likely be atrocious LvL too.
  7. If Amaya's arm never improves I would cut bait after the season, regardless of how well he frames and works with pitchers. You cannot have a guy who autmotically puts runners in scoring position like that IMO,
  8. You just horsefeathers KNEW that was coming. Amaya cannot be so useless behind the plate.
  9. Baserunners are now 32/37 stealing bases vs Amaya. This is a huge weakness of the team. Any walk or measly single almost guarantees a runner at 2nd. Now Leiter feels pressure and throws a wild pitch.
  10. That's a horrible reason to swing at a pitch you won't do damage on. Thank you, Seiya!
  11. Why the horsefeathers are you swinging at that pitch on 1-1, Chris? You guys are just horsefeathers stupid. Play right into their hands.
  12. Should be bases loaded no outs, although that never turns out well for us anyway.
  13. What the horsefeathers are you swinging at, Cody? That was a cutter, from a RHP, in the waste zone, up and outside. Just dumb.
  14. The Ortiz double was 72 MPH but horsefeathers they make it look a lot easier than we do to get base hits
  15. The Braves converted the infamous David Fletcher into a knuckleballer and he dominated the vaunted Norfolk Tides lineup last night lol. 5 IP he threw 80% strikes and posted a 6:1. Ain't that some horsefeathers.
  16. Thinking they rushed Seiya back. Presumptively gonna say they did because they always do stupid horsefeathers like that. 55 bat since his return, 2 XBH and both were in the same game. He again looks like a deer-in-headlights. It's pretty amazing how hot/cold the dude gets. They have to get him right. I'd be down to give Wisdom some starts at 3B too. Morel is really bad and provides negative value if he's not mashing. I'd put: C - I guess Amaya because he can actually frame a pitch, though he's useless elsewise. 1B - Bellinger 2B - Nico SS - Swanson 3B - Wisdom LF - Happ CF - PCA RF - Tauchman DH - Busch
  17. Usually gonna sit on the shelf for a bit with that. I wouldn't be surprised if he's shut down til after the ASB.
  18. Plenty of teams are using the same strategy and getting far better results. The Cubs just still pretty much suck at developing bats at the MLB level. You needn't look much further than the Brewers. While they do have Yelich, the rest of the guys there are not stagnating and entirely feeble in this era of high heat and freakish breaking balls, and they have largely overperformed their expectations from their prospecting days.
  19. Man I would never have imagined it going so poorly once he got promoted to Iowa. What a bummer.
