it's def dumb when playing at a park where weather is a non issue.

i completely get why they do it at wrigley and the other places, though (so it totally makes sense that they're not doing one next year)

Soccer and ?????? Surely you're not suggesting that ice hockey has the same pace of play as soccer.

You guys apparently need to watch more baseball as every year guys get traded to contenders and see major boots in performances. Its amazing how you idiots are willing to go full [expletive] on other subjects because you got triggered by me saying Russell should be on the team. Additional names fro...

between this and the earlier stuff about the audibles, this new marriage appears to be going swimmingly from the start

Did he not pitch in Texas any of those first 32 starts with the Rangers when he had a 3.00 ERA? He did. Then he strained his oblique, came back too soon, and all that other stuff I already posted about for you happened. So that made him bad for 50 starts? No, I already agreed with you. Pennant race...

How many years was Cole's mechanics off? His final 50 starts with Texas he had.... 4.63 ERA 4.50 xFIP 4.84 FIP 1.32 WHIP Yes I said 50 starts, yet magically in 30 with the Cubs he's improved to a 2.64 over 30 starts with the Cubs. He also compiled those numbers pitching in Coors Jr. compounded with...

that's right, pennant race magic!

cole hamels took off because his mechanics were off and he was reworking them leading up to the trade. He had a 10.23 ERA and a 1.043 OPS allowed his final 5 starts with Texas. He allowed 7 ER in his final start, and then It took him 8 starts to give up 7 ER total with the Cubs. he literally said i...

Hope getting back in the division will help spark a revival of his bat i bet it will. he'll be like "i'm gonna hit like i did the last time i was in the NL central." You should spend less time trying to be a smartass online and watch more baseball. Every year down guys take off in a penna...

We Got The Whole 9 wrote:He does at least still have a good approach at the plate. He might benefit from being a little more aggressive. It's too bad Vic has hit so poorly as a starter.

were you the "move contreras to the OF and start caratini" guy?

i don't think he's doing anything well this year.

I am intrigued by the "for long" part, because it implies he didn't suck the entire time.

he was good for like 4 or 5 days

we couldn't get that 2008 jim edmonds magic out of cargo for long, maybe second time will work

i think it might look awesome. i reserve the right to see it in games.

Pineiro went 12 for 12 with the last being 60 yards tonight at Soldier Field, I'm declaring him the winner. https://twitter.com/ChicagoBears/status/1157837653150228482 It's crazy how the Bears seemingly went years and years and years with at most 1 good WR at a time to how deep they are there right...

Yes. Still limited.

Think it was a hamstring.
