  1. I just assumed this place was like this:
  2. How are we losing to these guys? they have 4 guys hitting below .200, 3 guys hitting between .240-.250 and one guy hitting .224.
  3. Eric Hinskie. How does a career 249 hitter become the hitting coach. seems backwards.
  4. Does that count as two strikeouts since he swung and missed both balls?
  5. Yes no Calhoun! why not Hermosillo instead of Young
  6. only problem is starter's wins might get snipped by the opener. So depending on the score their motivation may be down.
  7. Malnati, I never said anything about season ticket holders. But have provided plenty of evidence that they were tanking.
  8. They read this message board and took the idea from the guy who suggested we use Ohtani as a reliever.
  9. Tampa Bay has the 2nd highest batting average in all of baseball behind the bosox.
  10. Looks like the guy failed repeated drug tests before he signed the $10 mil contract. Why would you do that Astros?
  11. Malnati, "Unlike in Boston, where a full rebuild was not required, Eptein and Co. had to try and construct a championship roster from the ground up. He let productive but expensive hitters Carlos Peña and Aramis Ramirez depart after the 2011 season, dealt righthander Carlos Zambrano to the Marlins and traded 2008 first-round pick Andrew Cashner to the Padres in a deal that brought back Anthony Rizzo to be the team's starting first baseman. In July 2012 Epstein traded ace Ryan Dempster to the Rangers for a package that included minor league pitcher Kyle Hendricks. The Cubs dropped 101 games in 2012, their highest total since 1966, and 96 games in ’13, but all that losing that gave them top-five draft picks that they used to select Kris Bryant (No. 2, 2013) and Kyle Schwarber (No. 4, ’14)" https://www.si.com/mlb/2017/05/02/theo-epstein-chicago-cubs-boston-red-sox
  12. Biggio is just a freak of nature. who else can play catcher and 2nd base at a high level.
  13. Luis Castillo, Roberts. good guys for fantasy baseball. they don't hurt your average and they give you something like stolen bases.
  14. Yes I agree. That's the problem. Angels have been mediocre. cubs started tanking, especially under Epstein as gas Houston.
  15. He was always a douche though. even before roids
