    Makes sense. Kyle's only been slashing .286 .474 .714 1.188 over the last week. Can't have too much of a good thing! But seriously, who gives a horsefeathers if it's a LHP starting? Yeah, Schwarber is only hitting .203 .296 .362 .659 against them this year. But Almora is even worse with an abysmal .202 .237 .281 .517. I'd rather chance Schwarber having a good day against a southpaw, and forcing the Brewers to potential have to make real bullpen decisions, as opposed to Almora, who can't horsefeathering hit ANYBODY. That small advantage to schwarber on offense is probably balanced by better defense with this lineup. It’s a meh for me.

    Maddon not returning confirmed.

    Tony Kempana I wonder if they thought they had a deal for Caratini when they traded for Maldonado and that plan fizzled.

    I feel like if anything, he would use a non-LOOGY as a LOOGY, rather than use a LOOGY in a role that LOOGY can't handle. He settles into the obvious, this lefty should be able to get out a lefty because he's a lefty mindset, and in this case, it could work. Completely agree. Hasn't Maddon even done the cutesy "have the lefty go play a position for a hitter in between lefties" thing the Rays did the other day? I'm thinking Travis Wood? This is something that was pretty iconic to the “Maddon is crazy/eccentric” mythos. Something that should have been recalled without question marks. This what Solid state drive degradation looks like. Time for a backup, buddy.

    are we sure Russell can read? Only if the words he's reading are not on a sign. He can't read signs.

    The obvious solution is for other teams to hit him every game using a tube sock full of quarters.

    A more important factor is Hader’s deal with Baalzebub

    Racist.

    That is being exceedingly harsh to Corey Patterson, who put up a 2.5 WAR in half a season followed by a 5 WAR season, and then another 3.8 WAR season for the Orioles. The odds of Almora ever reaching Patterson's 10.9 career WAR is like 100 to 1. 100 to 1 seems like a bit of an over-exaggeration considering Almora has produced more WAR on a per PA basis so far in his career (3.0 in 1203 PA) than Patterson did in his (10.9 in 4499 PA). Not to say that he will keep up that pace for his entire career or even that he will get enough playing time in the majors to eclipse his WAR but its not unreasonable. How did I not realize that Patterson had nearly 2500 PA after the Cubs traded him?

    That is a one game suspension for a reliever.

    tie-win-win, but I agree whole heartedly. I, for one, welcome our robot overlords.

    Yu can do it!

    This is hate speech. I am an avid wine drinker and also an imbiber of mass quantities of cheap beer. #LoveIsLove Seriously, you can do both. Why do you hate fun? But Hurdle is a red assed turd who needs to go away. It seems like username notsosober would understand this.

    More like #everybodyout.

    He has benefitted greatly from the pill enhanced ball (PEB). So many warning track fly balls the last couple of years. Going out this year!

    I’ll always remember seeing the headline in the newspaper of “McClendon steals first base” and thinking who the horsefeathers is McClendon and how did he steal first. You didn't know who former Cubs great and 1989 NLCS hero Lloyd McClendon was?

    The problem is obvious.

    It's almost like pitching 2-3 innings on back to back days eventually catches up with you.

    Our division is above .500. It’s time to run away with it.

    Season over.

    I wouldn’t mind reading that he’s been taking fly balls in the outfield.
  22. Bull
    He does not.

    So compared to the half the lineup who are potential MVP caliber, the other half doesn't measure up. You don't say?

    This is far from a fully formed thought, but it seems like with Montgomery essentially piggybacking with Darvish for now, Chatwood is by default the long man, and needs to be saved for those situations where the starter doesn't go deep. I like Chatwood following lefty starters and Monty following righty starters. It can really exploit weaknesses in lineup construction and gives Monty and Chatwood either the chance to face lots of same-handed hitters, or forces the opposing manager to burn up his bench.

    I mean, if we’re talking about most likely outcomes... In an athlete/civilian divorce, that's probably true. In an athlete/popstar?singer?pseudo celebrity situation, I'm not sure those numbers add up. If we’re talking about a man and a woman, it is definitely the most likely. But Ben is no ordinary man.
