Can't wait for Almora to get pulled halfway through the game so Zobrist can come in.

Is this like a legitimate thing?

Cause like Wade Boggs and Mike Schmidt were 6'2" and Cal Ripken was 6'4".

No one ever argued I was too pretty to play Ultimate Frisbee in college. I tell myself it's because Frisbee aren't as hazardous to your face.

I haven't followed the Dodgers roster too much, so it's kind of surprising to me to see Ethnic Slur Hernandez batting cleanup.

I'm trying to find reactions to the Jay signing in the offseason N/V thread just to see if anyone liked the signing at the time and it seems like no one even noticed. Everyone thought the Thames contract was an hilarious waste of money, though.

E: There we go, Poque liked the signing but was sad it meant Dex was leaving.

Based on his past performance I figured he was going to be a platoon guy for 2-3 months before getting injured and Almora would get CF from then on out. He has been a very pleasant surprise, even if he comes with the unfortunate side effect of giving Maddon yet another excuse to never start Almora.

This will make sure you don't suggest to the KDz
That he should grow greens instead of crushing on MCs

I feel like Heyward is a good matchup against Hill. He doesn't hit the ball in the air a lot which is what you wanna avoid from a curveball guy unless you can crush it.

Hey Lester you're really going to have to have to throw less pitches if you're going to complete the nine scoreless innings required to give the Cubs even a minor chance of victory.
