  1. They had an article the other day outlining the 25-man roster that was full of mistakes. When that's sort of your calling card, maybe take some time or have someone write it who doesn't think that 13 pitches is the normal alignment.
  2. Rizzo should just stop swinging and hope for a walk.
  3. I can't wait to start showing that the Pirates' pen performance was a fluke last year.
  4. He makes every decent breaking ball look like a Wood 20-K game slurve.
  5. I'm trying to remember what it's like to have any part of the lineup where you go "alright, those guys are coming up!"
  6. You are. That's the number he chose. One for every base he's going to steal time he reaches base in 250 PAs.
  7. Another gem: "Guys, why would we be sad? Everyone's happy about the minor leagues. Oh yeah, I guess there's the other part, too."
  8. That part doesn't bother me, because they probably are good enough to get at least enough of them to make the team good for awhile. It bothers me that he's smart and savvy enough to actually make parallel fronts work, but that's not his dream experiment.
  9. Screw you, Theo. I'm not going to tongue-wash your balls just because you took six or seven years to put together the homegrown dream team you promised us you weren't waiting on.
  10. Man, that is some effortless velocity. Simple delivery, looks like it would be easy to repeat and throw strikes. And lots of movement on those fastballs. Man, the head says "avoid HS pitcher", but you see that kind of talent and it's easy to like it. The late movement is what gets me. Late, significant and tailing in on right handers.
  11. I always thought it was "in the hole"?
  12. With Pat Hughes' call too. That makes me feel things.
  13. I refuse to want a high school pitcher, and I don't think he falls to 4, but that almost makes me change my mind.
  14. He calls his bat Crazy Ira
  15. It was never a flat-out steal. Cashner's good, Rizzo's good. We needed a long-term solution at 1b. And Cashner's still a pitcher with a history of arm problems.
  16. McDonald to the 60-day DL, but Fujikawa to the 15-day DL. Yet another indication he might be back sooner than many are assuming.
  17. I spend every waking moment trying not to.
  18. Al Yellon with an awesome stat pull: The Cubs haven't been over .500 and within 5 games of first after July 1 in the last five seasons. The last time they did that for a five-year stretch was 1953-1957.
