    So, forfeit lineup comes up big yesterday. The dongsmiths should drive the nail into Milwaukee’s coffin today.
  2. Bull
    Is he even available to pinch hit?
  3. Bull
    I blame this thread for Willlson's injury.
  4. Bull
    Sweep or get swept. There is no try.

    Prince Fielder is still being paid $9Million to not play baseball.

    Yeah, I basically completely ignored his usage by the Dodgers in the playoffs, especially from the perspective of his relatively stress free half decade prior. If anything I probably spun it as a good thing. Was pretty biased too since Morrow's always been cool for this game... ....which is almost 10 years old :shock: Gotta love all those strike oots.

    Who? Theo Epstein. He’s the guy that runs the Cubs and says things.
  8. Bull
    More replying to the guy you were replying to. And in general agreement to the idea that it’s not unreasonable to think that someone (anyone) coming off the IL may have some residual issues. That may manifest itself in lost velocity, lack of control, or decreased use of the pitch causing the pain for pitchers or being old and slow and ugly in the case of a certain catcher.

    How do you know he's still hurt? Are all our hurt guys going to be broken when they come back of the IL too, or is this just a SSS Cardinals thing? Haahahaha! Too good. Kintzler, Kimbrel and Strop are obviously all still broken. So, yes?
  10. Bull
    A-Rod recognizing Rizzo going to bended knee on defense.
  11. Bull
    Do the cardinals still have a negative run differential?

    Easy there, bud. We’re still getting around 6 pages on these babies. Come see me when the thread doesn’t make page two. Let me tell you a srtory about 2014.....

    I think we can use Monty as a guide to suggest that not much would have changed.

    Don’t poke the troll.

    Everyone knows teams do that. It's widely considered to be dumb and meaningless when you're talking about things like a dozen AB or less. It's old timey meatball horsefeathers. Why do all these teams who spend millions on analytics do it if it was totally meaningless? You would think Theo or Jed would say something when they go over things with Joe everyday. Theo and Jed will say something to Joe about it. "Thank you or your services." Also, they did recently say something about redistributing the at bats so that the better hitters get more chances. That's as close to "stop playing Almora" as you can get without damaging morale.

    In summary: baseball is awesome. Everything else ranged from not awesome to not tolerable.

    I was at the game last night and will be there again. I guarantee a win. Cubs fans around me (cf) were hailing the virtues of Albert almora. I said he was slow and bad. When he made the average-ish catch they wanted to know what I thought of it. Surely no one else on the team could have made that catch. I didn’t want to argue so I didn’t tell them it was probably an 80% probability catch and that A real defensive center fielder would have been camped under it. They gloatingly let me know as they left that Almora hit .400 on the game. I didn’t tell them that 2 for five with two singles and no walks was only about league average ops and still was a great night for Albert. My poor wife had to hear all of it on the way back to the hotel. Edith Cox is a typical Cubs fan. Today I will not have to look at almora’s stupid curly hair and stupid face. Go Cubs.

    Regardless of the person I cannot stand either variation of the shortened name. "Javi" is the only one of those types of nicknames that I don't mind, and even that bugs me a bit (though at least it's an actual damn name) because of the context when a dunce like Maddon (or any of the other managers who have done it) says it. It sounds like someone talking about a 5-year-old. Like, get out of here with that "Stropy" horsefeathers. I generally agree, but I’m pro “Rizzy”

    Has to be satire.
  20. Bull
    It has to be satire. Edit: on second thought: do you remember tom29 from ten years ago or so? This person sounds like Tom studied sabrmetics at Phoenix College and came back with all the necessary skills to put us all in our place.

    Fouled a ball hard off his shin. Javy out. All Cubs are broken.
  22. Bull
    What happened? Javy ded too?
  23. Bull
    Not to mention us sending down useable players, huh? Yeah Russell had 2 more hits today with a double, had 2 hits a HR a couple days ago. Maybe its bad Karma leading to all our bad luck with the way some of the fans refuse to move on like his ex-wife does. That’s the opposite of how karma works.
  24. Bull
    Confirmed: Cishek ded.
  25. Bull
    I was just saying the same thing. Without looking at the brewers' lineup: "If he leaves him in to face a righty, he's an idiot." Then lefty after lefty comes up and cain sits on the bench.
