  1. horsefeathers that was a primal scream I let out
  2. And then someone found footage from the 50s of a team running it. How the hell do people have such memories
  3. How have we been handily outplayed in this series?
  4. Hendricks put up 3.5 in 180 IP at 25 y/o J Montgomery put up 2.7 in 150 IP at 24 He only had 150 IP because he averaged like 3 innings per start. Montgomery isn't garbage, but he's not Kyle Hendricks(who is an outlier of outliers). He's a guy you hope you don't need to start Game 4 of a playoff series. This simply isn't even close to true JM 2017 - 5.3 IP per start KH 2015 - 5.6 IP per start On a strictly FWAR basis, these groups of players are very comparable and that's even with me stretching to include a couple of 26 y/o I also don't know how we can proclaim any prospect to be a JAG in a topsy-turvy league in which Didi Gregorius and Scooter Gennett hit more HR in a single season than they did in their entire milb careers combined.
  5. Hendricks put up 3.5 in 180 IP at 25 y/o J Montgomery put up 2.7 in 150 IP at 24
  6. Even so, he hit 50 HR in his first 160 career games. DH, 1B, who GAF - that's a very special hitter.
  7. They're just constructed differently but they did get 20 fWAR out of Judge, Sanchez, Severino, Montgomery. They have several young players ready to step into starting roles next year as well, like Frazier, Bird, Torres - all look to be impact players not JAGs. They're pretty loaded, as is, with young talent, and they're about to add a lot more over the next couple seasons. Way I see it. Again, comparing them to 2015 Cubs, and even stretching to include Rizzo and Hendricks who were 25 and 26 Judge vs Bryant Sanchez vs Rizzo Severino vs Hendricks Montgomery vs Russell Bird vs Schwarber Torres vs Baez Frazier vs Soler They stack up very well on a war basis IMO
  8. Yanks have reminded me of our 2015 team all year. Not in how the team is constructed but in how they are supposedly a 'year early' and are just loaded with mostly young, quality players. That trade for Gregorius is turning into quite a shrewd move by Cashman and that pen is just filthy. Wish we had it, honestly.
  9. And you had a much better chance of that with Lester on the mound You can't keep Lester in forever. He three 55 pitches on short rest, parts of 4 innings in a high pressure situation on short rest. He at the very least could've finished out the inning. Anyway I don't want to drag it on. What's done is done.
  10. But we're still trying to win this one And you had a much better chance of that with Lester on the mound
  11. Lester should've seen this one all the way through so we'd have the full cavalry tomorrow
  12. 3rd time around guys, get your horsefeathering act together and let Wrigley celebrate tonight
  13. Strasburg's changeup is like a top 4 pitch in all of baseball. Doesn't mean I won't be frustrated when we swing over it repeatedly
