I really thought Chili was going to un-break the breaking that Mallee had done. Turns out Mallee didn’t break him, he just forgot how to hit or something.

Based on our pythag record, we’ve played like a 109 win team this year (29-15 pythag record). That’s pretty good considering until recently our starters had a negative WAR for the season. Blasting the Marlins twice, the White Sox once and the Reds three times in the span of two weeks will certainly...

Jerk.

Heck, if I'm being fair ... I'm not so sure the Cubs future is necessarily better than the Nationals. I really love Soto, and a core of Soto/Robles/Turner/Rendon plus Scherzer/Strasburg in the short term, and an ownership that you know will spend ... is very, very tantalizing. Sure, KB/Rizzo/Contre...

The only trade that bothers me is Q for Eloy/Cease. Theo & Co overvalued Q’s contract. Who else would they have traded for instead? Idk...the only one that jumps at me is Cole. I think Eloy will be much better than Soler. I'm on record for not liking that trade here. It was a lonely hill. I don...

Your post kind of reminds me of the guys at work who have been there 40 years and reject anything new or different because, 'We've never done it that way before!" More like, “great suggestion, but we fixed that problem two months ago. Pay attention in meetings. Also, we're gonna need to go ahe...

He appeared to be fixed until Duke wrote an article about Heyward and broke him again.

Then he started a thread called “good things” or some horsefeathers. We are all doomed.

This **might** have been relevant two weeks ago. But since then he’s gone on a tear.

OPS in Mar/Apr. .448
OPS in May 1.143

BABIP has gone from .172 to .286.


No need to update. Update is in: he’s fine. He’s always been fine. He will always be fine.

Also, we already have a rizzo thread.

There are more teams in the AL Central at .500 or below (5) than there are in the entire NL(4) A week ago my brother sent me a blurb that that division was 23-53 against teams outside the division. I can't imagine that has gotten much better. Yeah, but they are .500 against teams in the division, s...

This is why we love you Theo.

I demand a gif of Molina losing his manhood.

I can worry about the Nats. I can worry about the Mets. Cardinals a little bit. Dodgers. Diamondbacks look good currently. I can find things to worry about with the Phillies and Braves. The Brewers? Not one bit. Those other teams all have stars. They have the finances to get things done in the futu...

Buehler...Buehler...Buehler...

I've been too busy to check in lately, but just wanted come by and say, "vaunted."

instead of 12 games back, Cards finish 10 games behind us.

Lol, some dude on my flight from ATL to Tampa has a sweet mustache waxed into curly points. I didn’t even know that was a thing.

like a handlebar? You didn't know that was a thing? Have you never seen Dudley Do-right!?

I was thinking Tom29 (or was it Tom27?) but there is punctuation involved.

Bluescale wrote:Heyward puts up a 1.100 OPS and opts out of his contract at the end of the year. How's that for bold?

the boldest. I do think Heyward bounces back though. Chili makes everyone bloated this year. I mean their numbers. Their numbers will be bloated.

The Brewers win the division. You can't just say stuff. You have to write an article outlining real facts that could lead to that projection. That is your gift. Find a way. I want real reasons their players could do well. This is your greatest challenge yet and will be your masterpiece. or don't......

Can’t tell if you’re joking about not getting the joke or don’t actually get the joke. It’s sarcasm inception! I’m trapped! How many levels away from reality am I?!?!? No, I just missed that you were joking. Jimenez was a good pitcher at one time, and I didn't know if you just hadn't paid any atten...

Suarez got the contract I'm thinking Russell should take Since Russell will hit FA quite a bit younger, and since he received a $2.6M signing bonus, there isn't quite the same urgency for him to jump. And based on the year he had last year, I don't think there's quite the same urgency for the Cubs ...
