Way under. What's "way"? I'd say closer to 250/320/410 with 15-18 HR very likely. 780 OPS with his D would make him the top SS in the game. He's not there yet. Anyone have a rough idea on what difference 730 vs 780 OPS would mean to WAR or runs created?

Three #1 overall picks in a row can't happen.

I was expecting more from the juniors. I'm guessing they pull it together enough to keep Groce's mediocrity train running for another year or two.

One of the dads from Desperate Housewives was in Cub gear a few rows in front of me Friday night. /minor celebrity stories

How would a Wrigley crowd, or any home crowd, have handled that? The tying run scored! At best a bunch of trash gets thrown on field, at worst a full blown riot would happen.

Anyone? How come I've seen footage of other balls end up in river but in the biggest game of year this gets missed?

Yes, but with names?

McCutchen was plunked in retaliation for the accidental HBP of Goldschmidt last year. Not the same as showboating but is example that some meatballs like their revenge served cold or something.

Who was being interviewed, the pitching coach? As the kids say, thats awkward.

It sounds like you'll chip a tooth eating this [expletive] When you first try it, tastes like it has mayo or velveeta or something wrong in it. I've actually learned to almost like it now.

According to LaRussa ball, we're obligated to break our best player's rib. Might as well get it over with.

There's no talk about the embarrassing home-cooked whistle swallowing at the end of the KU Texas game? I guess its not surprising at all. That guy was absolutely mugged in the lane down 2 with 12 seconds left.

Ultimately, Rice's lost games will help next year's team. Looking for some positivity before todays destruction. Is there a better pair of sophomores in the conference?

I dont think we're related, but I agree. Make 2 infielders start on either side of 2nd base, no big deal. I am curious why we dont see more bunting or slapping oppo in this situation. I hate seeing so many late inning pitching changes. Forcing them to pitch to more than 1 batter would bring up enforcement problems, fake injuries etc. Is 1 pitch enough? Less Lefty lefty matchups and the resulting 500 OPS would be a good thing.

did Dakich really think they were going to call a flop from the video replay earlier? Unless something's different this year, they go to the video to look for head contact and intentional fouls and thats about it.
