Oh geez Am I wrong? How many times do people to post "Oh look, ANOTHER QB was signed who is worse than Kaepernick!!!" before they realize that it's just not happening. It's not even about Kaep anymore. thanks for letting us know derwood

Yeah that was probably the worst thing he could have possibly said unless it's followed by a 20 minute diatribe about the misguided adventures of said Bum. You were close, but it was ~15 minutes of the craziest/dumbest/annoying/etc people he had to deal with during his time there. He wouldn't go more into Da Bum at that time. I'll ask him again next time I see him.

yeah, I have no expectations beyond what Rogers says above (cobb + closer) and a trade for a starting pitcher. sitting on everyone and going with "whoops we still have too many position players and not enough starters" would piss me off, but I really don't think that will happen.

lololol this is my new favorite thing also everyone under 30, lonely or otherwise, is sharing nudes constantly.* *not with me

right? we JUST horsefeathering did the pizza conversation for the millionth time. talk about what garbage humans jerry jones and roger goodell are or else.

just did some looking and i definitely recognize the twitter avatar. not someone i followed, but definitely someone you'd see pop up a lot.

someone please figure all of this out and explain it all to me

i really want to believe TLS is unmarried and has no children and just happened to be in the neighborhood in a donkey kong costume so they had him jump into a picture.

D.A.V.I.D. ERROR REPORTING SYSTEM this is probably a driver update issue or something, but the creep matrix is definitely offline or at least running sub-optimally if humans are outperforming it in recognizing the familial status of people in pictures with athletes.

Good gracious. Setting aside the terribly unfocused narrative here, he mentions trading 1) Russell at all and 2) Baez OR Russell as if the two were interchangeable, almost ancillary parts of this team. Cameron beings the quality of the Fangraphs staff down a huge amount on his own He was on with Bernstein and Goff the other day and was saying innumerable dumb things, the worst of which was him talking about recency bias when discussing using Duensing instead of Wilson i the playoffs. Idiot. cameron is awful, but i've heard stuff about not using wilson from a number of supposedly smart baseball writers, including some i like. i get the small sample stuff, but jesus christ is that ever something you'd only say if you hadn't watched him pitch since the trade.

it is really too bad that all the extremely confident people in this thread haven't been able to watch any of the games so far. the cubs can certainly win tonight, but they've been pretty handily outplayed in this series. strasburg and scherzer are nice, but they haven't pitched every inning. 8 runs in four games is terrible, plus we've made a million errors and edwards has set the game on fire twice. the nats just have a much larger margin for error tonight. they're going to run out gio and scherzer and hope they can connect to doolittle in the eighth. if not, roark could throw an inning or two in there, too. lots of flexibility. something like gio for four, scherzer for three, doolittle for two is the ideal, but you could move all of these around quite a bit. the cubs are desperately hoping no one besides hendricks, quintana, and davis pitch tonight. everyone loves starters out of the bullpen, but quintana just does not feel like a guy whose stuff will play up in this spot to me. he's going to get his shot, though, especially since joe will refuse to ride hendricks no matter how he looks. we've seen this show before. it wouldn't surprise me if we ended up trying to also squeeze out a matchup inning against the middle of the lineup at some point, just going with a new pitcher for each guy. i am skeptical of our chances to win this game if it is low-scoring and all on the pitchers being near-perfect again. we will need to dong, and hard.

this is a very strong data point for what we think of almora's defense going forward. we very, very plainly like martin better.

do u guyz think bryant will stick at 3rd longterm 1b imo

great great start by kyle but i'd like that to be it for him.

And Mark Appel isn't Andrew Cashner a deep sea fisherman now andrew castnet

i wouldn't take one of those grey TAKE 17 sweatshirts like joe is wearing if you gave it to me as a gift

god i love playoff baserunning bryant

pretty much just running out the clock waiting to see if third time through the order does us any magic. i guess we've hit like four balls in the air which is cool, but otherwise this is not close. thank god for hendricks keeping us in it so far.

pretty hard to hit the changeup when it explodes before it gets to the plate

that's the worst call on a check swing i've ever seen

too bad we don't have anyone with playoff thread starting experience who had a three game winning streak to close out the world series last year

should have sent a poet

at first i thought he was taking a bite of a giant ice cream bar. if keith is as blind as me and thinks that, then he's fine. complaining about sunflower seeds during a game is nonsense, though.

disagree, hope they tinker like crazy and fix him like heyward and castro
