  1. I mean Pedro has gotten quite lucky but I think he still counts here and a slightly above average hitter is probably the most we can expect out of Murray.
  2. Straight Arrieta-ing this thing away
  3. Before a couple nights ago I had probably spent about an hour lifetime scrolling X. Then a post popped up on my feed and I decided to check it, and several others, out. Phew - the hatred for Pete is alive and well. I can understand some of the ones who don't like the emotional reactions and questionable sportsmanship and the way he can influence kids by them, But by and large he has a lot of people who completely loathe him and try to downplay his success to massive degrees. 5/23 is when he was instituted in the leadoff spot, so that's the line of demarcation for me. Since that date he has 7.9 fwar and 2nd place has 3.8. He has a 400 PA stretch of a 200 wRC+. Just LOL, he's such a freak.
  4. Thoughts on Jayden Loving? Clay Harbor loves the guy and he had a 9.93 RAS. He and JVDB (10.0) are certainly not lacking explosive athleticism. What can we expect this year?
  5. In fairness Lee hit like 440 in April and just bulldozed for 6 months. Pete has been hitting like him for 3 months though.
  6. Yet another milestone and one that likely will never be topped - 5 bombs in 2 games.
  7. Honestly - have avoided saying it, because it's baseball and stranger things have happened - but I haven't thought this team was a WS contender for months. Legitimately thinking they might miss the playoffs.
  8. He gave you a frigging cookie, Pedro. Damn. Also 2 really bad chases.
  9. JFC Nico, you have the worst approach on the team. 2 chases at least a foot off the plate.
  10. I swear to god Stephenson has a career 2.0 OPS against the Cubs
  11. No he's not. Corey was still quite good in 04 and hung around the majors for several seasons after. Theyre not comparable.
  12. I know nothing about that guy but Allen must like him and be really confident in Jordan.
  13. Do that next year and youre looking at a 15 win season. There is no more interesting story in baseball this year and people need to stop hating and recognize what's really going on. This tear basically coincides with Craig putting him at leadoff, which seemed like a firable offense at the time. It totally defies comprehension. Now looks like a stroke of genius.
  14. “There were legends on legends down in the cage before the game,” Crow-Armstrong said. “If anything, the most intimidating part of today was doing my pregame routine in front of Sammy Sosa and Billy Williams.” During a chat before the game in the batting cage, Sosa actually made a request. “He was like, ‘I want three out of you today. I need three,’” said Crow-Armstrong, who cracked a smile. “Sure enough. I don’t know what he passed down to me there.”
  15. Bagent absolutely tore them to shreds
