    Happ made a start in 2019 at first base. Thats the extend of players not named Michael Busch with any experience at first base on the ML roster besides Long who’s recovering from an elbow injury.
  2. Geographyhater8888
    Where does Long fit into the teams long term plans? Is there a world where he’s a DH and Mo develops into an everyday catcher?
  3. Geographyhater8888
    Pitch designations are too ambiguous. The intended outcome is what I associate certain pitches with, not grip. From what I’m reading it sounds like Brown has developed a 2 seamer in practice. But I don’t know if he’s inducing grounders or commanding the edges of the zone. Either way he needs a third pitch badly. It’s easy to make a swing decision on the outer edge like last season when everything moved on the same vertical plane. It’d help with Chase at least. There was no ambiguity with Greg Maddux. His sinkers moved 1-7 and 2 seamers 2-

    I like the thought of Brown as a high leverage arm.
  5. Geographyhater8888
    That’s how i feel. I really wanted them to build in Gary closer to Lake Michigan.. It’s upsetting. At least they’d still have a scenic view of wolf lake to remind us of the good old days.
  6. Geographyhater8888
    That’s how you should feel about him. He’s been derailed by injuries and was a below replacement level player in 486 PAs with LA last season. A potential depth option and at best a lottery ticket. I wouldn’t get excited about a guy with only 21 effective doubles last season either,
  7. Geographyhater8888
    His effective slug is 4000. Too many assists from other baserunners to call it an EFV4B.
  8. Geographyhater8888
    There you go. This guys 18:65 laugh reaction to post ratio is impressive.
  9. Geographyhater8888
    This guy’s awesome. Unlike Cubs dude this guy even invented his own stat whereas cubs dude was all talk no action when it came to being an intellectual heavyweight. Fangraphs will add a fourth run value category for EFV2B if they catch wind of this.
  10. Geographyhater8888
    They have the option of plugging a more refined Shaw into the everyday lineup. Last season it was between Shaw and Berti for whatever that’s worth.
  11. Geographyhater8888
    He’d have to be borderline unplayable to not make the opening day roster since DH is his spot to lose. Shaw was putrid and was still in the opening day lineup.
  12. Geographyhater8888
    For now on walks are effective singles.
  13. Geographyhater8888
    With all due respect, Sabermetrics are complicated enough. It took me a while to accept and apply fancy stats like WRC+, WOBA and FIP. Effective 2B (EFV28) is information overload. Let’s pump the breaks for now.
  14. Geographyhater8888
    Great spot to tailgate at least.
  15. Geographyhater8888
    He can be 300 Ibs and still rake if that cheater Bregman lets him borrow his buzzer when he’s at bat.
  16. Geographyhater8888
    It did seem generous.
  17. Geographyhater8888
    Just to add to that he’s only listed at 195 lbs.
  18. Geographyhater8888
    Mo will likely always be around 20% body fat? That’s a healthy range for for him. For PCA 15% would be relatively chunky. No amount of dieting and conditioning will get give him a visible six pack with his frame. .
  19. Geographyhater8888
    That’s what I’m thinking. I’m guessing players would be either be benched, demoted to Pawtucket and or have their buzzer wearing privileges taken away if they refused to publicly speak out in favor of Bregman as a favor to Cora’s cheater in crime entering free agency. The Redsox are at Cora’s mercy.
  20. Geographyhater8888
    I didn’t know that. I stand corrected. What matters though is he had $5 billion to finance SoFi stadium with.
  21. Geographyhater8888
    They might want to sell some private shares if they want more funding.
  22. Geographyhater8888
    Thanks. The only thing I have to add is that the McCaskys are Beverly hillbillies whose only source of income comes from owning an NFL team. Of course they want funding from the state in some form. Kronkie is a self made billionaire too, I’m also curious why they’d chose a toxic wasteland to build a stadium in Hammond. Unless it’s adjacent to a major highway is it the optics of being in walking distance of the Chicago border? I just imagine Fox coming back from commercial with an Ariel view of wolf lake with a close up of a guy in a hazmat suit collecting water samples from wolf lake outside of the tide detergent done
  23. Geographyhater8888
    It looks like an image shot in norilsk Russia.
  24. Geographyhater8888
    I won’t pretend to know horsefeathers. What are the Bears asking for from the state of Illinois out of curiosity?
  25. Geographyhater8888
    What gives you the impression that the cubs don’t already have these programs in place?
