  1. You don’t remember when everyone made fun of me for abandoning plans to watch the US Chess Championships in St. Louis because of the Ferguson protests?
  2. We are so lucky not to have a good team as a rival
  3. If this were Game 1 of a playoff series, we would be leading Game 1 of a playoff series by 2 runs. Someone check the math. Big, if true
  4. If this were game one of a playoff series we could bring in the bullpen right now so really our pitching isn’t even a problem.
  5. At least he died before we had to worry about his first big extension
  6. I kinda assumed they grinded together, didn’t need it made explicit
  7. My pessimist just figured this was a 93-win team on paper, then take away or significantly reduce the contributions of Bryant, Darvish, Lester and Quintana. What’s that leave you? A 78-win team?
  8. Down to 7th best run differential in MLB. This has been a good but not elite team this season and it is trending downward.
  9. The whole “not even in its prime” thing was always wrong and nobody wanted to believe it. We have big piles of evidence that players have never peaked as late as we thought and basically have no peak in the 2010s. They come up and mash from 22-25 and that has a decent chance of being their best seasons.
  10. Run differential for the last 23 or whatever games is -1 per game. They’ve been winning all the close ones and losing all the blowouts. That’s what lucky bad teams do. You're better than using run differential over a 23 game sample. You've lost a tick on your fastball from your doom-boner prime. Lol as if you don’t use arbitrary endpoints any chance you get. How’s Kyle Hendricks?
  11. The worat part is that Quintana is still probably the guy I have like the 3rd most faith in
  12. this would not be what i'd say once they hit the playoffs come on now because nothing actually matters once they hit the playoffs The fact that we will be in the wild card game matters
  13. They’ve been playing like a very bad team and covering it up with sequencing luck for almost a month. I think this is wrong. I'm not sure, but David will have numbers to prove it. Run differential for the last 23 or whatever games is -1 per game. They’ve been winning all the close ones and losing all the blowouts. That’s what lucky bad teams do.
  14. They’ve been playing like a very bad team and covering it up with sequencing luck for almost a month.
  15. Counterpoint: The minor league forums fawn over lots of guys who end up becoming wet turds in the majors.
  16. The u-turn this thread makes on page 6 is amazing.
  17. http://mlb.mlb.com/images/0/8/8/290121088/081218_bote_bat_flip.gif Apologize. The bat doesn’t even do a full rotation, i.e a flip. It would be like if some guy claimed he could do a backflip and then landed on his head. The HR was legendary. The run around the bases was legendary. The bat flip was pedestrian.
  18. That was a 3 out of 10 bat flip, arguably not even a flip but a drop, with a 17/10 run around the bases.
