We Got The Whole 9

I feel like the Dodgers would destroy that offer for Britton alone but sign me the horsefeathers up.

Yep the super rare double homer, or something. Not even sure how to call it.

The Tigers almost certainly would've taken Eloy and Cease for Fullmer! Why didn't Theo think of that?! Just shaddupp

Probably equivalent to us giving up Rondon, Candy, Zagunis or something right? For 4 years of Dangling Shoulder and 2 of Madson, that's a hell of a trade for their pen.

Lackey is going to be overrated and Montgomery is going to be underrated by metrics that try to normalize batted ball profiles. Montgomery is very hard to square up and gets a lot of groundballs, while Lackey is a strike thrower who has lost a tick and is now in an environment where more strikes than ever end up at or over the fence. Montgomery isn't perfect, and he hasn't seized the starting chance like I hoped he might, but he is still easily the 5th best SP we have. Lackey has to accept that the ball is juiced and stop throwing pitches away. Focus on every single pitch. When in the past he would get pop flies, now they're leaving the yard. It feels like a lot of those HR have come on first pitch fastballs down the pipe. Blatant arrogance. But with Monty, like most 5th starters, his numbers the 2nd time through the order are really bad across the board. I'm more confident that Lackey can get closer to his previous levels ('15-16 especially) than Monty can navigate through lineups multiple times more consistently. He just doesn't have the control and command of his fastball for me. And I've already stated how much I want him in the long role. With this staff (although I admit maybe things are turning especially with the add of Q, Jake's last 11 starts, and Kyle's imminent return) usually unable to go deep, he protects the pen a lot. When he gets shelled, our pen gets burnt. I think I prefer going outside the organization for that spot but if they choose not to, I think Lackey should get it.

Hahaha

Jesus Kyle hit that oppo or Theo is gonna spank you

Willy is crushing the ball

That is heads up rarely seen horsefeathers

They're not all lulz and we certainly need to be careful with Freddie

So did Willy say something about the Cubs season turning around?

I think Carasiti will slot into the BP nicely as a Koji replacement

Bellinger was seriously unimpressive in the HRD and I thought he might come out sluggish in the 2nd half He goes and hits for a cycle

Pujols ditched his plate discipline in his last Cardinals seasons and the Machine was gone. That dude used to only swing at strikes. In his first 8 seasons his oswing eclipsed 22 twice. Then it crept up to 26 and after that, 30+ every year. He never really lost his ability to make contact but now he was putting a bunch of shitty pitches in play. So glad we dodged that bullet.

Stressful horsefeathers when it absolutely should not have been I think Theoyer makes another deal over the weekend

AAAAAADDDDDDDYYYYYYY

Gas

I guess when you're that wild you won't get that call much Throw horsefeathering strikes CJ

Very Butler-ish start from Monty tonight

I think they're awake

Has Heyward hit an oppo dong since the 2015 NLDS?

Kyle has easy oppo power
