I think a good rule of thumb is if you're getting pissed at truck drivers you're probably a bad driver considering that's what they do for a living. I mean everyone makes mistakes even truckers, but if this is a consistent problem Hawk is probably a terrible driver.

Dex with the subtle "W" on his shoes, I feel like a certain Twitter feed is going to be a gold mine this afternoon.

Maybe he'll decide to just stay here?

He also tried to say he was framed by an anti-semitic lab worker who was then fired because of Braun's accusations even though it wasn't true.

So yes, gently caress Ryan Braun.

He has 1,700+ PA's the last three years. He has a top 6 outfielder wRC+ with a minimum of 1700 PA's from 2014-2016. Only 25 other players have 1700+ PA's for the outfield position in that time period.

I feel like you're missing the key point and that is gently caress Ryan Braun.

I assumed that all teams raised their prices depending on the demand for tickets. The Angels have "dynamic pricing" where games vs the Yankees, Red Sox and Dodgers are more expensive (plus Cubs/Cards when they see each other, which is pretty rare).

I went to a Jays game this year but didn't pay for the tickets, I'm not sure if they were more expensive or not.

Yes all teams have dynamic pricing, when Castro came back to Chicago for a weekend series ticket prices where insanely high above the already absurd ticket prices for the Cubs this year.

Cubs/Dodgers/Yankees tend to raise ticket prices everywhere they go.

We've had this conversation about Castro's high BABIP in the past, he has a career .321 BABIP. He's just that good my friends.

It should be a hit because he hit the ball well enough to confuse the entire infield, it's a skill.

I still say that if you reach base for any reason other than a walk it should count as a hit. Forced errors are unaccounted for in anyway and that's a pretty big oversight for some players (Hamilton?)

I assume it's the explosive hip rotation?

It's aaaaaaaaaaaaall in the hips.

No but really look at guys like Rizzo and Granderson they have almost no stride and can generate a ton of power (Rizzo especially). I'll still never understand how guys can hit from a straight up standing position though, it makes your swing look really violent cause it requires a bunch of movement to get into position.

If you can pull off a bat flip well reaching on a bunt single then you absolutely deserve to bat flip.

If you're fast idk why guys don't try to bunt more often. You're a lot less likely to hit into a double play, you'll move the runner over and like the above example you might even have a better chance of reaching base than you might otherwise have.

So it sounds like the sale of the Marlins is down to two groups, Derek Jeter vs Mitt Romneys son. I fully expect Tagg Romney to be the new face of the Marlins, nothing says fun like a Romney.

He's got a pretty solid OBP but that may be due to wild pitching in Single A.

Tim Tebow is bad at baseball and there is no excuse the Mets can give for promoting him other then pimping Tebow to sell tickets. I honestly didn't think the Mets would actually follow through with it but we might see Tebow in the majors which is absolutely bonkers.

So was Montero DFA'd because of his comment? He was actually hitting pretty well this season so I'm kinda confused why they did it.

Uh yea?

He blamed his teammates for himself sucking at his job and said these things to the media in a long rant. I don't think the Cubs care about his 800 OPS in 100 PA's which most of stemmed from him getting hot for two weeks.

Also, they literally have another guy, that CAN throw runners out, with the same pitchers! It was a death rant.

I mean yeah Contreras is the future obviously but they still need a backup catcher to give him time off. Did they call up someone from Iowa to take over backup duties?

If you look into Montero's stats this year, it really was that two week period in which he got like, 30 PA's of hitting .500 that inflated his statline. He's been OPSin'g .620 since May 7th or something. Not worth it to keep him around after really, really dumb comments in his final year as a Cub anyways. (Especially when that dude is mashing at AAA and can seemingly throw out more than 1 person every 30+ steal attempts)

Plus, the Beefy Lad can just slot in to catcher when he comes back

Give Schwarber another shot, it'll be worth it for the hilarious GIFs alone.
