apparently this is what phil emery looks like now?

josh bell is good now? huh.

Pretty pleased with my bet on Toronto at +230 when it was 1-1.

Obviously that means GSW will come back and win.

I was sure Kelton would be awesome because his name sounded like Helton.

was just checking In to see people's thoughts on the Kimbrel signing, nice to see it devolved into some kind of anti-trump thread fairly quickly, I guess things are pretty much as terrible as ever... See you guys in a couple years when Trump is your president again... nice to see you're still a nut...

as of April '17 https://twitter.com/ryanhannable/status/849003501833379840 So he may be interested in the Trump fundraiser this weekend. Ted Nugent may be a deranged lunatic but Stranglehold is an awesome song and iirc didn't Rivera or some other bigtime closer used to come out to it? How the hell ...

he might just think it's a cool song and not care or even think about nugent's politics

that said, independently of that, there's still like a 99.99999% chance this white dude from alabama owns several MAGA hats.

so far this year, in ~50 games, fangraphs has his production worth $7.6M

go back to WTTJ please

so what's his entrance music?

Morosi is on the Score saying that he's got another source, separate from Rosenthal's, who thinks the Cubs are frontrunners for Kimbrel.

I think he said it was another MLB executive who has been involved in the talks.

I know its a pipe dream and who knows if Morrow is even alive much less in line to return but how awesome would this set up be in October: 9th - Kimbrel 8th - Morrow 7th - Strop 6th - Cishek Get Will Smith or Doolittle too for what little it's worth, matt spiegel was on for transition with the park...

Draft vaguely reminds me of our 2008 draft (Cashner, Shafer, Chris Carpenter, Justin Bristow early on). I actually liked that draft at the time, so I'll reserve judgment on this one, but time obviously hasn't made that class look all that great. I'm just curious what their plan is with all these ar...

one game in and he's assured himself a spot on the season highlight video

this is damn near impossible for me to believe. i feel like he donged every time up.

I most remember Trachsel from my first game at Wrigley Field. My dad was teaching me how to keep score. After Brian Hunter lead off the game with a double my dad turned to me and said, “Well, there goes the no hitter.” Only hit the Astros got that day. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/C...

i remember trachsel most for having an even/odd year thing

If nothing else, he can join Phil Nevin, Joe Nathan, Dan Haren, and Jason Kendall (among others) on the All Wasn’t he a Cub for a Minute? Team. crazier than all of these combined, for me, is that steve trachsel was briefly on the 2007 team. https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2398/2222216831_5ac660b8e2_b...

let this be our 2019 edmonds

well, i mean, it does, kinda...definitely dramatically increases the likelihood. but it's because of the most basic math, not momentum.

espn's bottom line scroll had his 86 error as the first thing mentioned next to his death announcement. ridiculously horsefeathers.

Whenever I watch baseball with my dad, one of his most common refrains if a Cubs batter has two strikes is how he wants them to, "just make some contact," regardless of whether it's a situation where making a contact out instead of striking out means anything. Some people just still get t...

I really don't care who is at fault. Divorces happen. Wondering for those who have gotten divorced, how long do you get to be away from your job while dealing with it? Like is Zobrist gone for more than a month, or does the dude need to get back to work? how long before we stop comparing major leag...

Before the axe handle stuff came out, Bryant was also crediting him directly with identifying some issues (pre swing movement iirc) that were contributing to his struggles
