  1. I had to watch the replay on Baez’s dong three times before my mind could accept what my eyes were saying, that he cleared the bleachers in that spot.
  2. minor league manager blowups are made better when they're wearing a jersey with a hot dog logo And when it's Mike Ehrmantraut
  3. Only if it’s irrevocable waivers the claiming team is forced to take. If it’s revocable both teams can decide not to do anything. Is that new? It didn't used to be that way. Teams have gotten stuck with guys before.
  4. Rizzo's gonna have something to say to the reporters after the game.
  5. Run differential game? I forgot about those
  6. Getting through 1.2 innings looking awfully optimistic.
  7. Bote is never going to see a low fastball again and he'll be the answer to a trivia question in 10 years only because they already used LaHair the week before.
  8. The first day of this month, the Cardinals were 7.5 back. Now they are 2.5 back. Extrapolate that however you wish.
  9. So are we gonna keep doing game threads or just move it all here?
  10. Bote is completely useless when pitchers aren’t stupidly grooving him low-middle fastballs
  11. In my head I accept the logic of the projection systems that say that we are probably going to be in our fourth straight NLCS in two months. But when you watch a team play bad baseball for a month, it’s hard not to get down on them.
  12. But fangraphs...or whatever random website says we’re 90% in the playoffs or something. There is a flaw in the projection systems that doesn’t seem to be picking up on that without Bryant and Darvish and with Rizzo kinda meh and with Lester, Hendricks and Quintana varying degrees of bad, this is actually a bad baseball team.
  13. I must have missed this "favorable situation" that the Cubs found themselves in back in 2011. Javier Baez, Brett Jackson *and* Matt Szczur were all top-100 prospects.
  14. I don't wanna get into a habit of paying attention to athlete tweets about politics because I'm not ready to give up sports entirely.
  15. OK, one more Brewersfan fun quote: They have this mass blind spot where they can see the bad contracts and the farm system ranking but can't see the giant mass of young position players already on the MLB roster better than anything they have.
  16. Remember: At brewerfan.net, it is considered somewhat controversial to suggest that Theo "Three Rings" Epstein might be a better team-runner than David "We finished second one time" Stearns.
  17. Very little. People clear waivers way easier than everyone assumes, for whatever reason. Blocking unless you really intend on making a trade seems to be pretty rare, it's an unwritten agreement.
  18. Honestly, I forgot about the homophobia, I just still hate him for hitting a million 335 foot pop-fly home runs during the 2015 NLCS. But now it turns out I have a real reason to hate him, too.
  19. That would be Jim Edmonds levels of weird.
  20. And this is why you can’t be a Cardinals assistant gm
