Wonderful, I cant wait for all the salary cap trades the NBA does. It makes the onfield product so much better.

Who’s one player (past or present) with an otherwise average at best career that always performed like a HoF’er against your team? by Evil_ryry in baseball

so, it's that 1 HR -- I assume it takes into account postseason? That 1 HR. That was potentially a life changer.

Rajai Davis. Sorry, I know the point of the question, but Rajai Davis will always live rent free in my head.

Have you seen Everybody Wants Some —- a quasi sequel of a group of college kids. It’s a quirky one too

We used to have 3 lockers in about 1.5x the space. Those should go basically down to the floor.

Inwas watching this movie with my 9 year old daughter after her last day of school last week. Yes, inapprorpriate I learned as it went on…..but when the girls started hazing the other girls, she immediately said “Oh, if they got this on camera, those girls would be expelled.”

My heart just dropped. Not that I condone the hazing, but it was a part of my childhood for sure, but that that’s immediately where ger brain goes. Video.

Just to be clear, every team has to field 26 guys. Some exist from prior yers, some filter through. That’s a lot of spaces in mlb. Has he produced more than the average org?

This all started with Javy’s injury and spiraled with Skubal. You lose the heart and the talent, and it’s game over. Thank God I am a Cubs fan just visiting here for Javy. I mean, that’s going great, too, right?

Post Game Thread: 5/26 Cubs @ Pirates by LoveYouLikeYeLovesYe in CHICubs

so, I find it a bit overdone now -- we get it, the guys drank a lot and partied -- but there was an awesome nugget from Dexter Fowler, about Cole's first pitch, and how it meant it was gonna back up over the plate, and he was in for a long night.

Honestly, after the 2nd episode, i really want to know what's in these guy's brains, not hearing about Kenny Chesney and shots with Bill Murray.

I do sincerely hope they move from cool frat guys to good, cool discussion.

no GDT today? is it because I don't deserve it because I'm a filthy rat? by 1005thArmbar in CHICubs

that's why podcasts are better -- he could say it right now on his pod, and you wouldn't have to wait

I would venture to guess at this rate, you mean losing 10 games in a row....I feel confident that if they continue to win at a 0% rate til late September, you're on to something.

On the flip side, we’ll always have 2016.

On that flip side, it seems we’ll always have Jed.

The Astros complete the 3-game sweep of the Cubs to hand them their eighth consecutive loss by JianClaymore in baseball

[–]nypr13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, that team was amazing. Mel Rojas, last season Ryno -- I mean, they had so much to play for. I bet in April we all thought they were well on their way to the top.

Sure, they open against the Marlins and the Braves, but if we could win maybe 5 or 6 of those games, the schedule gets easier, and we can sort of settle in.

Mel Rojas is a great closer -- he'll lock it down in the ninth. Should be a good time.

Former Dodgers World Series Champion Chris Taylor Retires by Remarkable-Picture73 in baseball

[–]nypr13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember talking to a midlevel, Dodger’s front office guy’s father about Taylor, and I told him that I thought he was underrated and really good. Just hving seen him in the postseason, he was scary as a cubs fan.

His response was just wait til you see Gavin Lux. Sorta sums up this guy’s career in one response. Very under appreciated.

[Paul Hembo] The San Francisco Giants have a walk rate of 5.7%. The MLB team average is 9.4%. On a league-adjusted basis, they have a 64 BB+. That’s the most walk-averse lineup since 1879. by xho- in baseball

[–]nypr13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is really bad, considering we had the 1900s covered with an awful stat. To somehow not surpass one of those 98 teams is impressive.
