Cain: Able But Unwilling

Nice title -
Captain TOOTBLAN

This guy is not a Major League pitcher
-
But what if I only went to the strip club to pick up food? I've heard some weird stripper names in my day but that tops them all
-
Kyle's location has been way off tonight. This feels like a loss.
-
Uhhh, the Niners? Cardinals? Carroll, for all his past transgressions, is not an idiot Hes certainly not, I agree. I just don't think this dude was worth that haul. FWIW I've seen tweets where apparently several execs feel like it was a fleecing as well. Also I doubt Arizona would want to contend with that type of offer after trading a 2 and a 4 for Hopkins. 49ers, possibly. Ive also seen mention where they felt like he was bidding against himself as well.

He averaged 91 in that start, was 94.9 last year and 96.8 the year prior. His slider was down almost 6 mph from last year. Not saying it won't recover but there's plenty of reason for pessimism and not much time to iron out the kinks this year.

Wasn't Kelly on the cheating Red Sox?
-
And the RP we traded with a DH a few years back couldn't make it to the 3rd
-
Hes not worried about working the edges with a 7 run lead. Hes doing his job.
-
Fun fact: Hernandez is the last player to post a 400 BABIP, in 02.
-
his career obp is pretty locked in, I'd sacrifice walks to get extra ABs and pad my career dinger total at that age too It's not just about walks. We all know that chasing pitches is bad and his dropoff as a hitter can largely be attributed to losing patience and putting crappy pitches that he used to laugh at, into play. He really hasn't padded any stats as much as he's hindered his own path to being the HR king he had expected to be. His chase rate was sub 20 in his prime. A hitters eye is normally the one tool you can reasonably expect to maintain as age catches up. He has been over 30% for a decade now. It seems to be a pretty unique case of decline.

It's a fleecing in my opinion. Who was Seattle bidding against anyway?
-
Craziest thing about Pujols' decline is his plate discipline. He used to spit on the toughest borderline pitches. Suddenly he became a hacker a while back.
-
He's got the stuff of 04 Maddux but dominates like 92 Maddux. Its insane.

I liked hearing Non-Phixion - Black Helicopters at the Nationals Park

Summer Camp Exhibitions Game Thread
We Got The Whole 9 replied to UMFan83's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
They’re probably just being cautious. It’s not really that much of an inconvenience to wear a mask when you are just standing there. I wear mine outside in hot humid weather and it’s not really a big deal. So for baseball, if you are in a position to wear a mask and it doesn’t affect your ability to do your job, err on the side of wearing it. I wear a mask 7 hours a day 5x a week in Florida doing pretty physical work at times. Certain tasks are outside. I use the surgical mask. It really isn't that big of a deal to me either. -
Jake was the icing on the cake for me to believe they were really gonna be special once they added KB and hopefully a TORP in FA. He was just nasty and he almost no-hit the Cardinals IIRC, which just kind of gave you chills.

Minor League Musings
We Got The Whole 9 replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
This is mortifying https://twitter.com/adbert29/status/1281270194292297728?s=19 No 40 man salary until the season starts -
I feel like he hits a point of diminishing returns with all those pitches to choose from. If your stuff is elite, you only need 3- 4 is icing. He goes overboard.
-
Little more luck on our outside shooting and if Rose hadn't gone into hero mode, we beat them in that series and go on to beat Dallas as well.
-
Bonds only hit 50+ in one season

Offseason Top Prospect Lists
We Got The Whole 9 replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
That's fun -
ESPN highlighted the Bears' long struggle with running the ball up the middle. They havent ranked higher than 22nd in this millennium. That is embarrassing, especially for a team with such a rich history of doing just that.
-
Haslem was such a problem for us protecting the rim. We just kept attacking him and getting thwarted left and right. When he was off the floor we had little trouble scoring. Then we went ice cold from deep and Rose started forcing drives with 6 hands in his face. We really blew that series. It was hard to stomach.
