Re: Brad Brach DFA'd
Not that Brach didn’t deserve to get ignominiously horsefeathers canned, he did, but I’m vaguely upset that he gets blasted into the sun before the most ignoble of terrible players, the one begging for release, figuratively and literally, Daniel DeScalso. The beauty of this roster is there are just...

Re: They kept saying "Dave Phelps, Dave Phelps"

I would say that h...

Phelps on the other hand is a guy I wanted a few years ago. Stuff seems to be playing well returning from TJS.
He has 5.4% swinging strike rate. I'm not even sure who he's an upgrade over.

I'm so glad I didn't publicly document my KB doom boner like all you idiots in here.

Re: Addison Russell
this is a guy who thinks he's done nothing wrong “It’s been really, really nice to ‘fast’ in the social media world, I guess,” he said. “And I guess now’s a better time than ever for me to do that.” “The thing is about being a millennial, we’re kind of drawn into the new-age stuff,” he said. “Maybe...

Re: Work Jerks
Halloween is a giant parade of horsefeathers in every office but it's worse when you work for a startup, go into the office like 2 times a month and everyone that isn't in management is between 22 and 25 years old. Any adult that wears a costume should be sent to Gitmo.

His name is Whit Merrifield, the tweets that everyone should be concerned about are the ones they haven't found yet.

Open to trading KB? What the actual horsefeathers is happening
Nothing. Theo has always said nobody is untouchable and this is fake news. Someone should take Olney's Wrigley hard pass away.

Re: Regular Season Rumors
Hamels is solid, and with his contract the prospect cost should be minimal. I feel pretty comfortable hand waving away spikes in dongs allowed if they're not due to velocity loss. He's a rental. I would venture to guess there's no chance he gets to 200 IP this season to vest his option. he needs to...
