  1. Did you hear that Forrest Gump was a victim of identity theft?
  2. You drive around Chicago with your top down??
  3. What's blue and smells like red paint?
  4. I don't know...can you make hash out of hash browns? Sounds easy. Too easy, maybe?
  5. Teams that shift, even with runners on, would have turned two DPs this inning.
  6. Dickbert with the rare observation I agree with...Milone's success depends on him hitting, and getting from the umpire, the low outside corner to RH hitters.
  7. I like Kill a lot, and he's improved the team, and talent, by a lot. But I can't shake the feeling QB play is a big limiting factor, and unfortunately I don't think ML is ever going to throw the ball well enough to ever not be a limiting factor. Still and all, way better overall than recent history team wise.
  8. We have volunteers to finish the season. Many and sincere "thank you's!" to all the folks who helped out with game threads this season. I know I speak for site owners, and moderators, when I say we really appreciate your help. And speaking for myself, I couldn't have asked for more, better, or more reliable folks to step up. Now lets finish this off in style, and give RB a chance at some postseason game threads!
  9. I think it was very questionable not to find a role for Berrios this year. But now that they've done that, it would be incredibly dumb to let Berrios break camp with the team next spring. Just waiting a couple weeks gives them another full year of control. Since they're not incredibly dumb, I doubt there's any way that happens.
  10. character I was, ask you should not.
  11. On a more serious note, a couple observations : 1. The Meltdown started with a base hit allowed to Carlos Gomez on an 0-2 pitch. Is there any reason that should happen? 2. I didn't like the bunt from Escobar. But then I don't like sacrificing. 3. It's not Molitor's fault May didn't get the job done. He was the right person for the job. And it was the right call to pull Duffy as well. Maybe even one hitter too late.
  12. Was at game. No longer a scoreless tie. CBU.
  13. it's also difficult to know when those specific situationsituation are going to occur, so having semi defined roes allows for easier and more reliable warm ups. I often see people asking for a "firemen" role, but how do you actually pull that off without having that pitcher ready to go from the 7th inning on?
  14. BTW...not to worry...Hunter's got this.
  15. hoping it doesn't turn into a shootout.
  16. At game. Scoreless tie. CBU.
  17. Was at game. Routine win. CBU. BTW, who was it that posted "Santana's got this" right before game time?
  18. Great seats tonight. Santana's got this. CBU.
  19. Was at game. It sucked. CBU.
  20. Wouldn't Bowden require a 40 man spot?
  21. So then we agree. There are probably people who watch TV, or buy tickets, because of Hunter.
  22. As was explained, the balls called in the middle of the zone represent balls in the dirt, which the system has trouble recognizing. And as has been discussed elsewhere, the box in that pic does not represent "the strike zone." The top and bottom of the strike zone aren't fixed, nor is the strike zone two dimensional. And that's not even considering whether we take on faith that the pitchf/x dot shown is indeed accurate. I like the fact baseball today can be roughly compared to baseball 100 years ago. The pitcher/ hitter dynamic is central to baseball. I'm opposed to needless radical changes to that dynamic.
  23. There are threads to restate long held opinions about Hunter. This isn't one of them.
