  1. Offensively, he's doing a lot of things well and it's being covered up by a .204 BABIP. Walks are up, strikeouts are down. He's still a dumpster fire defensively so he's not high on my list of guys I'm excited about, but he's at least got the vague raw potential to dong his bad defense away, and he definitely belongs on an MLB roster regardless.
  2. Well thanks for playing, I guess, Pirates. I feel like we should form a "good game" line to cheer them up or something.
  3. Early games own. Drop kid off school, eat breakfast, transition straight into baseball.
  4. Whatever Joe Maddon feels like sending out there.
  5. I feel a little bad for Pirates fans. The worst feeling in sports is seeing your team's season end the exact same way over and over again. And right now, another Wild Card game is the best they can hope for. When Fangraphs updates tonight, they'll be projected to win the division by 15 games.
  6. I know intellectually the Cubs won't go 33-0 in his starts. But it feels like they will.
  7. i don't know how the Pirates in good conscience can charge admission to their fans for Arrieta games.
  8. Cardinals are already six back. Petition to close this thread when it gets to 10 in like three weeks because we don't need to care about irrelevant teams.
  9. It is difficult for me to think of too many things I care less about than power rankings. If we're looking at fake standings, Fangraphs now projects we win the division by 14 games.
  10. I know it's not sustainable, but it annoys me that we've fallen a game below .750 and I want them to get back there today with a win.
  11. I'm surprised they took the time off of posting softcore porn gifs to comment on the game.
  12. When there is any sort if report that says they might want out, and no sooner.
  13. With my blessing.

  15. I think everyone knows at this point that when you are dealing with baseball players, there is always that 1-in-10000 chance that they go supernova. Anyone who would have said around 1995 that "Sammy Sosa will never have two 60 HR seasons" would have holding a completely reasonable opinion and would have been utterly wrong. That said, I've come around to the fact that I don't know anything about projecting baseball players and fell for the allure of believing there was a numbers-y formula to it that could be cracked by reading enough Fangraphs articles.
  16. I'll give Baker credit for this: He knows how to snipe jobs on underperforming teams to get credit for their regression to the mean.
  17. Brooks Kieshnick obviously
