  1. At the game today. This seems more surprising than Rendon's 3 homer game earlier this year.
  2. Didn't see that Schwarber's demotion was being discussed here before I created my thread. Mods, please delete that thread (and this post too!) Thanks.
  3. Meatballs get their wish Cubs Option Kyle Schwarber https://mlb.traderumors.com/2017/06/cubs-option-kyle-schwarber.html
  4. This movie scared the horsefeathers out of me as a kid. What movie is that?
  5. Man, this would be much more frustrating had the Cubs. It won the World Series last year.
  6. Still more HR than strikeouts for Happ
  7. Logged on to confirm that Hendricks is getting squeezed as much as At Bat is saying. Answer: Yes
  8. These early regular season games feeling like rewatching one of your favorite movies. You can better appreciate the nuance, depth and craft. The urgency and surprise isn't the same though. That said, I'm already sad we're just down to 159 regular season games after this.
  9. This. Or would there be any rule against selling Otani say a 5% ownership stake in the team for a song and then signing him to a mimimum deal when he is posted? Major League rule 20e states players can't have an ownership stake. It came up during A-Rod's contract negotiations. I didn't realize the rulebook is 250 pages now!
  10. Let's see how Cards fans are treating Dexter:
  11. [tweet]http://twitter.com/CarrieMuskat/status/829494849833299968[/tweet]
  12. Arizona's infield defense should be better this year. That will help Bradley. Might as well hold onto him until his value increases. No promise Wisler turns into much more than hmore is now.
  13. Makes it easier to pry some young pitching loose from the Rays.
  14. If that happens I could see Blackmon to the Cardinals for Weaver as the main piece. Supposedly the Rockies asked Toronto for Stroman in a Blackmon trade Marcus Stroman would send his dad after Toronto's front office.
  15. Armando Rivera taken 5th by Atlanta. That would have stung far worse two years ago. [EDIT: Pick number corrected]
  16. You're not wrong. For comparison's sake, here are the top closers from 5 years ago: http://content.usatoday.com/communities/fantasywindup/post/2011/09/top-closers-for-next-season-have-to-start-with-kimbrel/1
  17. Wouldn't mind be asking about Braden Shipley's asking price.
  18. I'm more opposed to the 5 years than the $80 million. For reference, here is a list of the top closers from 2012:http://razzball.com/top-20-closers-for-2012-fantasy-baseball/ Kimbrel was #1, Jansen was #14 and Carlos Marmol was #10. A lot of others are out of the game.
  19. John Sickels asked for input on his Cubs list at Minor League Ball: http://www.minorleagueball.com/2016/11/19/13686610/chicago-cubs-organization-discussion
  20. It didn't hit me until after it was over that it probably goes down as the greatest game in history. I don't know what it will take for it to be topped either. Wait until we can reflect on the number of Hall of Fame careers involved.
  21. Let's dispel the notion that Joe Maddon doesn't know what he's doing. Joe Maddon knew exactly what he was doing.
  22. The Cubs did acquire a closer at the deadline. Who figured it would be Montgomery?
