  1. It's almost like pitching 2-3 innings on back to back days eventually catches up with you.
  2. I wouldn’t mind reading that he’s been taking fly balls in the outfield.
  3. So compared to the half the lineup who are potential MVP caliber, the other half doesn't measure up. You don't say?
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Yup. There are piece of crap athletes, Dirty Cops, slimy layers, dirtbag doctors, hypocrite preachers, pedophile teachers, sketchy grocery clerks, crooked construction workers, and call center workers that steal your identity. Abusers and drug addicts in every profession. There are people that suck and heroes in most every walk of life. We just tend to hear about the bad ones in high profile professions.
  7. Taylor Davis looks and moves like my grandfather who was born in 1939 and is also dead.
  8. This exactly. I love it when our home run hitters hit home runs. Remember those conversations in 2017 about 6 players hitting 20 home runs or whatever it was? Yeah, that.
  9. Rrrring-ningning-ningning
  10. I still get emotional.
  11. I literally had no idea this was a thing. I like to think I'm fairly up to speed with the culture, as I work with teens for a living and frequent reddit. After some cursory googling this appears to be classic 4chan making a thing that wasn't a thing, but now its definitely a thing. I don't think it's fair to expect the average fan to know its a thing. It's likely the guy knew it was a thing. That is not a typical situation to be doing the old "you looked, you get punched" game. But it is entirely possible that it was a drunk fan who is (drunk) planning to go home and ask his friend if he watched the Cubs game and then punch him.
  12. I'd bet good money this useless turd is still as prominent as he is specifically because he was Theo and co.'s first first round pick. If that's the case, then wtf is Happ in the minors? "reps"
  13. You idiots really don't understand how reverse jinxes work, do you?
  14. We've already established that this is the 20 run game.
  15. yeah sure fine I still wanted more dammit Marginal improvement is still important. If the playoffs are a "crapshoot", it's best to tilt the odds in their favor. The problem is marginal improvement doesn't translate into marginal financial gains. "We're good/great" isn't a justification for not getting better. But (maybe?) its justification for waiting until the deadline to see which needs rise to the surface. Admittedly, this does not at all fit the narrative that every game is important. It's probably just me shifting my (false?) hopes for improvement to the trade deadline.
  16. Unpopular Opinion (or not, I dunno): The way this team is playing validates Theo's perceived inactivity this offseason. I really think this team is this good and now (hopefully) has the flexibility to add at the deadline or pick up Kimbrell after the draft.
  17. Somehow, you fool!
  18. Maples ain’t but I’m buying low on the other guys I bought low on Heyward 2 years ago. That, uh, didn’t exactly work out. Nothing to do but hold on and hope.
  19. I like bat flips. I don't like whatever that was.
