For those without cable and who want to avoid going to a public place to watch, where is the best place to watch this online? I heard they have gotten a lot better at shutting down those pirate sites the last year.
In this theoretical move do you push Baez to 3rd or CF? I lean CF. I bet he would be excellent with sugnificant reps. We know hed be great at 3B but hed be more valuable in CF if he could provide plus defense.
He scored 13 TDs on a team that scored 33...His teammate Hakeem Butler (9 TDs in 60 receptions) is a serious WR prospect too but broke his hand in preseason I know it's college and some of these numbers need to be taken with a huge grain of salt but there were 26 backs ahead of him in TDs.
Joe says Kemp in the lineup to heighten chance of contact How do we not know how absolutely horrendous his contact actually is. The guy has a career xwoba of 272. Albert Almora is 295. He is horsefeathering atrocious.
.237/.289/.456, 93 wRC, 0.2 fWAR in 384 PAs I said it at the time of the trade that if Eloy doesnt come out and hit like Nelson Cruz he will really suck. Just his rookie season at a young age but man he has been trash.
If the Cardinals go play like .800 baseball from August to the end of September like the Brewers did last year there isn’t much you can do Common misconception about the 2018 Cubs is that they blew the division. Sure they could’ve played better but they were still winning. The Brewers won that thing. Cubs played September to roughly their overall pace. This year the record isn’t as good but a 7-3 streak is great but the Cardinals just keep winning. Frustrating. Edit: Scoring 1 run in our last 3 losses didn’t help the viewpoint but that team was still pulling out Ws. That was just the culmination of the 2nd half. In the first half they scored 476 runs in 93 (5.1 per) games with a +114 RD. In the 2nd they scored 285 in 70 (4.07) games with a +2. They played way over their heads in the 2nd half and won many games we really had no business winning. If the Cardinals had outplayed their RD that badly everybody here would be screaming magic dust luck. This year they scored 455 in 90 (5.1) and a +55 in the 1st half and are at 188 in 41 (4.6) and a +9. Not even doom-bonering here but they have sputtered in a similar fashion.
The Cubs have won 7 of 10 and everyone thinks they’re in a tailspin This sounds an awful lot like last year, though. Not exactly a comfortable feeling.
It....doesn’t work that way. Does it? Rowan Wick talked about this spring in the lab the Cubs had him try some new curve grips and he took to the knuckler rather quickly because he said you throw it just like a fastball. For a guy with Yu's aptitude I believe it. I think it will permeate across the league and we will start seeing a lot more of them. In the article I read I believe it said theres about 80 pitchers throwing them right now. I bet that number is a lot higher in a couple years.
Can someone provide some context to Montgomery's meh stats last year? The team won 8 games so they weren't bad, they only threw for about 3K so they weren't an air-raid offense I dont think. Montgomery had a 4.7 ypc and only 22 catches for 157 yards. I know college stats aren't everything and sometimes they can be nothing. I like his tape and some of his athletic traits. Just curious.
