  1. Feeling nostalgic about this early 90s strike zone.
  2. Aren't we supposed to be rooting for losses? No :(
  3. I would take 11.1 fWAR from Kyle Hendricks' career.
  4. There's always going to be a bunch of stupid romanticizing with athletes like this in any sport. He's not some magical chessmaster who leaves hitters crying in confusion because nobody has ever tried sequencing on them before. He's just a guy with a borderline sinker, average curveball, good changeup, and good command.
  5. Every time someone compares Olt's early struggles to Rizzo, something terrible but non-offensive happens. #nolongertopical
  6. career 2.6 fWAR as a LF (74 G, 274 PA) http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/2013/08/Jack-Nicholson-lol.gif
  7. Theo really wants me to be right in my "-1.0 fWAR" prediction.
  8. I feel like the Cubs currently have 3 of the top 5 prospects in baseball.. I feel like the Cubs have 4 of the top 5 prospects in baseball. I feel like we have 5 of the top 5. 1-up!
  9. We've got at least seven position starters in place for 2015 right now, and that's not including Valbuena or a Coghlan/Ruggiano platoon. I count 18 pitchers who are at least acceptable candidates for some role on the depth chart. We might as well go after big TOR pitching because what else are we going to go after? If it craps out, oh well.
  10. When we've got 8 awesome hitters in the lineup and lots of budget room, then we might as well go big on a pitcher because what else are we going to spend it on? But don't believe for a second that pitching matchup in the postseason is some big deal. Didn't we just see Kershaw get plonked around pretty hard last year?
  11. I suddenly want the Bucs to win 11 quite badly
  12. I think someone already won before the game even started with "Angry Pup"
  13. The absolute worst part of having lots of fun new players is Cubs fans all tripping over their own balls trying to become the first to coin a new nickname.
  14. Saw on Twitter that he'd just lost the Southern League HR lead tonight despite being out of the league for two months.
  15. That camp is abandoned and you should leave it.
  16. http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6kcmblgEa1ql07zs.gif
  17. Why? I thought he had a solid night at the plate.
  18. I've been leading the "our short-term pitching outlook sucks" parade for three years now. It's up to the point now where I like it a little bit. I mean, it's still pitching, so six guys could have shoulders blow up simultaneously the first day of spring training. And I don't overwhelmingly love it. But I like it. Arrieta, Hendricks, Wood, Turner, Straily, Doubront, Wada?, Jackson is acceptable starting pitching depth for next year. It could be improved considerably by a TOR addition or two, but who couldn't? For the bullpen under control next year, we have Ramirez, Rondon, Grimm, Wright, Strop, Grimm, Schlitter, Rosscup, Rivero and Vizcaino. Plus any of the guys who don't make the rotation. And I think it's conceivable that, if we were in competitive games in August/September, that Pierce Johnson or CJ Edwards could contribute next year.
  19. He's been hitting tons of outfield fly balls lately. That was so due.
