  1. It's a slim chance. I'm not going to turn it down or anything, but when I check the scores, I'm looking at wild-card rivals first. YMMV.
  2. It's not a foregone conclusion. It's just a long shot and the WC is way more likely.
  3. http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/yadier-molina-forgot-how-to-frame-a-pitch/ Does Bryant's power drought make you skeptical that hitting home runs is a skill? Does Jon Lester's ERA make you skeptical that pitching is a skill?
  4. The Cardinals are a little better on paper and have a 5.5 game lead. I like our wild card chances, but the division is not even worth worrying about.
  5. I was just logging on to post that. Get out of my head. I'd probably really hate our 13-11, playoff-spot holding team right now if I'd actually seen them blow the lead. Instead, I woke up, checked my phone, said "huh, that's unfortunate" and moved on.
  6. I'd rather them beat the Pirates. Our season is more likely to swing on the Pirates' record than the Cardinals'. We talked about the rookie BB record the other day. I think Bryant really might challenge it.
  7. The half-tried are anyone that doesn't fit the pro-tanking case, and the ones with a plan are the ones who did.
  8. Just have to go 2-3 against a team they are 10-4 in the playoffs against the last three seasons.
  9. I'm getting ahead of ourselves and am inviting some serious karmic retribution, but how much would it suck for the Wild to lose to the same team three years in a row?
  10. Oh, and we're two games *up* on making the playoffs.
  11. Every single one of us would have taken 13-10 at this point before the season started.
  12. Definitely. I wasn't trying to draw that directly back to Soler. I'm just not sure, as a general rule, which is worse: Being a free-swinger who can't lay off bad pitches, or being a whiff machine who can't hit pitches in the zone. It's not like one is clearly better than the other. For Soler, we're on the same page. What he's been doing for 100 PAs this season would be disastrous if it were a new ability level, but he's got enough track record that I'm not much more than mildly concerned.
  13. Is whiffing on strikes better than whiffing on unhittable pitches? Is it better to be Brett Jackson/Junior Lake/Mike Olt or Javier Baez/Corey Patterson? What is the sound of one hand clapping?
