Matt Wisler isn't ugly, he just has terminal murderface. He's still kind of cute from the right angles. :unsmith:

Jerry Blevins: good at pitching, not good at looking human



he's also 6'6" and 190 which makes him look even less human in person

No way, Jerry Blevins is crazy redneck-hot, and that curveball is sexy as hell. I'd have to give it to Addison Reed, who is also very adept at pitching but looks like a serial killer.

Another spring commute
Cubs call up Rosscup, option Floro back to Iowa.

Rosscup has been middling in AAA so far this year but that's mostly a product of a 16.7% HR/FB ratio. His peripherals are solid as hell: 39.7 K%/4.8 BB%/2.78 xFIP, so hopefully he's finally put it together and the Cubs have another reliable lefty out of the pen.

Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.

Not active though—Braves aren't terribly freakish this year but you could go Collmenter, who looks like an extra-sexist Mad Man bit player, or maybe Bonifacio who is an only slightly demented gnome.

Oh hey, just saw Alex Gordon is on paternity leave. Hope some time away from the game helps him out because my God his season is ugly.

Oh, never mind, he's going to be back on Wednesday. Well congrats on the kid anyway Alex.

Kris Bryant's alright but way overshadowed by Javy, imho.

As far as actual baseball goes, I'm using the Mets & Marlins off-day to watch the Yankees and it feels nice.

That's funny, my dog once asked to be moved to a nice farm upstate. Haven't seen him since, wonder how he's doing...

Agreed though, nice to see Ani make the offer. Of course, he's still getting paid the full $17m...

James Loney has asked for and has been granted his release by the Braves.

I guess when you realize you've been upstaged by Matt Adams, it's time to move on.

Noblest of all dogs is the hot-dog; it feeds the hand that bites it.
Am I crazy to want James Loney at first instead of Chris Carter? The homers are not occurring enough to justify Carter being in the lineup.

I feel like Loney could provide more than.205/.295/325.

This may be because Loney absolutely murders the Yankees but sometimes its best to get your arch nemesis on your side.


...






After looking this up, Loney vs NYY in '16 isn't as bad as I felt:

.353/.353/.412
